Ultraviolet radiation and cyanobacteria.
(SwitzerlandSwitzerlandSwitzerlandSwitzerlandSwitzerlandSwitzerlandSwitzerlandSwitzerlandSwitzerlandSwitzerland, 2014-12)Cyanobacteria are the dominant photosynthetic prokaryotes from an ecological, economical, or evolutionary perspective, and depend on solar energy to conduct their normal life processes. However, the marked increase in ... -
UNCERTAINTY CONTRIBUTIONS TO SPECIES SPECIFIC ISOTOPE DILUTION ANALYSIS
(University of Plymouth, 2003)Mercury speciation in solid sample matrices has been investigated using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with multicollector sector field (MCSF) and quadrupole (Q) inductively coupled plasma mass ... -
Uncertainty contributions to the measurement of dissolved Co, Fe, Pb and V in seawater using flow injection with solid phase preconcentration and detection by collision/reaction cell-quadrupole ICP-MS.
(NetherlandsNetherlandsNetherlandsNetherlandsNetherlandsNetherlandsNetherlandsNetherlandsNetherlandsNetherlands, 2014-08-23)A flow injection manifold incorporating a solid phase chelating resin (Toyopearl AF-Chelate-650) is reported for the preconcentration of dissolved metals from seawater, with a focus on investigating the effect of the ... -

Unconventional computation and teaching: Proposal for MUSIC, a tone-based scripting language for accessibility, computation and education
(2014-01-01)This paper provides a proposal for a tone-based programming/scripting language called MUSIC (the name is an acronym for Music-Utilizing Script Input Code). In a MUSIC program input and output consists entirely of musical ... -
Unconventional Computing and Music: An Investigation into Harnessing Physarum polycephalum
(University of Plymouth, 2017)This thesis presents an investigation into developing musical systems with an Unconventional Computing substrate. Computer musicians have found it difficult to access the field of Unconventional Computing, which is likely ... -
Uncoupling protein-2 attenuates glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in INS-1E insulinoma cells by lowering mitochondrial reactive oxygen species.
(United StatesUnited StatesUnited StatesUnited StatesUnited StatesUnited StatesUnited StatesUnited StatesUnited StatesUnited StatesUnited States, 2011-03-01)Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) by pancreatic β cells is regulated by mitochondrial uncoupling protein-2 (UCP2), but opposing phenotypes, GSIS improvement and impairment, have been reported for different ... -
Uncoupling protein-2 attenuates palmitoleate protection against the cytotoxic production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species in INS-1E insulinoma cells.
(NetherlandsNetherlandsNetherlandsNetherlandsNetherlandsNetherlandsNetherlandsNetherlandsNetherlandsNetherlands, 2015)High glucose and fatty acid levels impair pancreatic beta cell function. We have recently shown that palmitate-induced loss of INS-1E insulinoma cells is related to increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production as ... -
Uncovering the complexity of workplace wellbeing using a cross-case analysis approach
(2017-09-12)Background: Workplace wellbeing has become an important public health priority, due to working days lost and the economic cost of ill-health. Evidence for effective workplace interventions, however, remains inconsistent. ... -
Underground Britain: public perceptions of the geological subsurface
(University of Plymouth, 2017)Geoscience operates at the boundary between two worlds; the visible and the invisible. Increasingly, new geological technologies such as hydraulic fracturing, carbon capture and storage (CCS) and radioactive waste disposal ... -
Understand the environmental fate, behaviour, effects and risks associated with contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) with the goal of protecting environmental and human health
(Plymouth University, 2016)Each and every one of us is exposed to chemicals on a daily basis and contributes to the global issue of chemical pollution. Humankind has become heavily dependent on the use of man-made chemicals in order to sustain the ...
