A Label-Free and Ultrasensitive Immunosensor for Detection of Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin Based on Graphene FETs.
(Switzerland, 2017-07-12)We report on a label-free immunosensor based on graphene field effect transistors (G-FETs) for the ultrasensitive detection of Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (hCG), as an indicator of pregnancy and related disorders, such ... -
Label-free chemically specific imaging in planta with stimulated Raman scattering microscopy.
(United States, 2013-05-21)The growing world population puts ever-increasing demands on the agricultural and agrochemical industries to increase agricultural yields. This can only be achieved by investing in fundamental plant and agrochemical ... -
Laboratory tests and numerical modelling in the development of WaveCat
The WaveCat Wave Energy Converter is a novel overtopping WEC tested with the aim of establishing a starting point for numerical model validation using device performance and motions under different sea states. The tests ... -

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 ... -
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 ...
