R-gene variation across Arabidopsis lyrata subspecies: effects of population structure, selection and mating system.
(England, 2016-05-05)BACKGROUND: Examining allelic variation of R-genes in closely related perennial species of Arabidopsis thaliana is critical to understanding how population structure and ecology interact with selection to shape the evolution ... -
Rab8 binding to immune cell-specific adaptor LAX facilitates formation of trans-Golgi network-proximal CTLA-4 vesicles for surface expression.
(United States, 2014-04)Despite playing a central role in tolerance, little is known regarding the mechanism by which intracellular CTLA-4 is shuttled from the trans-Golgi network to the surfaces of T cells. In this context, Ras-related GTPase ... -

Raised intracranial pressure presenting with spontaneous periorbital bruising: two case reports
(2004)The venous drainage of the orbit is known to be via the ophthalmic and vortex veins which communicate with the cavernous sinus. We describe two patients with raised intracranial pressure presenting with periorbital bruising. ... -
Random Effect Models For Repairable System Reliability
(University of Plymouth, 1997)The practical motivation for the work described in this thesis arose from the development of a new Jaguar car engine. Development tests on prototype engines led to multiple failure time data which are modelled as a ... -
A randomised controlled feasibility trial to investigate the effects of a functional standing frame programme versus usual physiotherapy to improve function and quality of life and reduce neuromuscular impairment in people with severe sub-acute stroke
(University of Plymouth, 2019)Background Task-related training can aid functional recovery post-stroke but has not been investigated in people with severe stroke. Orthostatic hypotension (OH) may limit rehabilitation, therefore, the effects of ...
