An in vitro investigation of microbial volatile analysis for diagnosis of wound infection (2019)
Thesis
Slade, E. An in vitro investigation of microbial volatile analysis for diagnosis of wound infection. (Thesis). UWE. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/4917997

Microorganisms produce a wide range of volatile compounds as a product of metabolism. As a result of their different metabolic capabilities, the profiles of volatiles produced will differ between species. This research investigates the detection of v...

Developmental, morphological and physiological effects of chronic low doses of ionising radiation on plants on earth and in space (2019)
Thesis
Caplin, N. M. Developmental, morphological and physiological effects of chronic low doses of ionising radiation on plants on earth and in space. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/1491172

Conclusions in the current literature are essentially unanimous regarding what is known about the effects of ionising radiation on plants. It is agreed that acute high-dose effects (primarily from laboratory tests) are well-documented and understood...

Suicide and its discontent: Practitioner psychologists experiences of working with active suicidal ideation (2019)
Thesis
Llewellyn, S. Suicide and its discontent: Practitioner psychologists experiences of working with active suicidal ideation. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/1491233

Suicide is often conceptualised as a harmful, frightening and a misunderstood phenomenon. Research has shown that the theorising of suicide is broad-ranging and complex identifying that working clinically with clients who present with suicide can be...

An investigation into the regulation of transcription of the splice factor kinase gene SRPK1 in prostate and leukaemia cancer cell lines (2019)
Thesis
Belali, T. An investigation into the regulation of transcription of the splice factor kinase gene SRPK1 in prostate and leukaemia cancer cell lines. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/1490649

The SRPK1 gene encodes a protein kinase that phosphorylates a class of splice factors called serine/arginine-rich proteins (SR proteins) modifying their ability to regulate alternative pre-mRNA splicing. Studies have linked high SRPK1 levels to tumou...
