Labrador Sea Water formation in the Irminger Basin and its dependence on the North Atlantic Oscillation
(University of Plymouth, 2009)Historical temperature and salinity data from the Irminger basin were analysed to determine if Labrador Sea Water forms in the Irminger Basin and if deep convection in the region is dependent on the North Atlantic ... -
LABYRINTH PSYCHOTICA - SIMULATING PSYCHOTIC PHENOMENA
(Plymouth University, 2016)This thesis forms a valuable tool of analysis, as well as an important reference guide to anyone interested in communicating, expressing, representing, simulating and or imagining what it is like to experience psychotic ... -
Lack of Variation at Phosphoglucose Isomerase (Pgi) in Bumblebees: Implications for Conservation Genetics Studies
(2013-06-04)Assessing genetic variation underlying ecologically important traits is increasingly of interest and importance in population and conservation genetics. For some groups generally useful markers exist for examining the ... -
Lack of weight recording in patients being administered narrow therapeutic index antibiotics: a prospective cross-sectional study.
(England, 2015-04-02)OBJECTIVES: Patient weight is a key measure for safe medication management and monitoring of patients. Here we report the recording of patient's body weight on admission in three hospitals in West London and its relationship ... -
Lactic acid bacteria as bio-preservatives in bakery – Role of sourdough systems in the quality, safety and shelf life of bread
(University of Plymouth, 2017)Microbial contamination and survival during storage of bread are a cause of both health concerns and economic losses. Traditional fermentation systems were studied as sources of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) with antagonistic ... -
Lactobacillus casei strain Shirota selectively modulates macrophage subset cytokine production
(2012-12-01)Probiotics confer health benefits through many mechanisms including modulation of the gut immune system, dut macrophages regulate immune homeostasis, mounting tolerogenic responses to food and commensal bacteria or immune ... -
Lactobacillus rhamnosus lowers zebrafish lipid content by changing gut microbiota and host transcription of genes involved in lipid metabolism.
(England, 2015-03-30)The microbiome plays an important role in lipid metabolism but how the introduction of probiotic communities affects host lipid metabolism is poorly understood. Using a multidisciplinary approach we addressed this knowledge ... -
