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 ... -
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 rhamnosus lowers zebrafish lipid content by changing gut microbiota and host transcription of genes involved in lipid metabolism.
(EnglandEnglandEnglandEnglandEnglandEnglandEnglandEnglandEngland, 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 ... -
Laminated Sediments of Loch Ness, Scotland: Indicators of Holocene Environmental Change
(University of Plymouth, 1999)Sediment cores, two approximately 6 metres and one about 1 metre in length, were recovered from the profundal plain of the northern basin of Loch Ness, Scotland. Examination revealed that the sediment is composed of ... -
Landfill design, construction and non-invasive monitoring
(University of Plymouth, 1998)Three techniques are investigated in order to assess their applicability for use in landfill design, construction and monitoring. Firstly, an assessment is made of QA procedures during liner construction through the ... -
Landscape forcing mechanisms on Quaternary timescales: The Tabernas Basin, SE Spain
(Plymouth University, 2015)Quaternary landform features and their associated sedimentary assemblages (river terraces and alluvial fans) often provide important records of long-term landscape evolution. The reconstruction of global terrace sequences ... -
Landscape-scale population dynamics: field observations and modelling of Puya hamata, a flagship plant from the Andes
(University of Plymouth, 2012)Important ecological processes happen over long periods of time and at the landscape scale. Effective conservation of biodiversity and management of natural resources and ecosystem services requires an understanding of ... -
Landscapes of ephemeral embrace : a painter's exploration of immersive virtual space as a medium for transforming perception
(University of Plymouth, 2005)The following text has been written to illuminate the research embodied In Ephemere, a fullyimmersive virtual environment which integrates stereoscopic 3D computer-generated images and spatialized 3D sound, with a user ... -
THE LANDSCAPES OF RICHARD LONG: PERSPECTIVES ON PREHISTORY, SPACE AND SCULPTURAL FORM
(University of Plymouth, 1999)This thesis examines the relationship between the work of Richard Long and prehistory. This is understood to operate at two levels. Firstly, Long's critical reception has repeatedly made connections between his work and ... -
LANDSLIDE INVESTIGATION IN THE RÍO AGUAS CATCHMENT, SOUTHEAST SPAIN
(University of Plymouth, 2004)Many remote and/or rural communities Uve under the threat of major landslide activity. These remote areas are also increasingly the focus of development programmes which, without careful consideration of the ground ... -
Large-scale coexistence and small-scale segregation of key species on rocky shores
(2008-11-01)Biodiversity is defined by the scales at which organisms coexist. Coexistence at larger spatial scales may be underpinned by segregation at smaller spatial scales or temporal variability in behaviour and/or distribution. ... -
A Large-Scale Model of Spatio-Temporal Patterns of Excitation and Inhibition Evoked by the Horizontal Network in Layer 2/3 of the Visual Cortex
(University of Plymouth, 2009)Cortical processing of even the most elementary visual stimuli can result in the propagation of information over significant spatiotemporal scales. To fully understand the impact of such phenomena it is essential to ... -
Large-scale study of Calanus in the North Atlantic Ocean: macroecological patterns and potential impacts of climate change
(University of Plymouth, 2009)Marine ecosystems show natural fluctuation throughout a large range of spatial and temporal scales. Despite the large amount of study devoted to the North Atlantic Ocean, drivers of those fluctuations remain unclear. ... -
Large-scale temporal and spatial patterns of marine phytoplankton in the north-east Atlantic
(University of Plymouth, 2000)Phytoplankton constitute the main algal biomass in pelagic ecosystems and, therefore, play a fundamental role in the functioning of the marine trophic web. Information on long-term trends in marine phytoplankton may help ...
