MOLECULAR CLONING AND CHARACTERIZATION OF POTENTIAL VACCINE ANTIGENS F R O M Renibacterium salmoninarum
(University of Plymouth, 1993)
A number oi R.salmoninarum gene libraries were constructed in E.coli host-vector systems and
screened for the production of molecules which may provide material for the immunisation of
salmonid fish. One immunopositiye ...

WETTING AND DRYING IN TWO-DIMENSIONAL TIDAL NUMERICAL MODELS
(University of Plymouth, 1995)
The purpose of this research is to adapt and improve existing two-dimensional numerical
tidal models so that they can cope with regions where the tide falls and rises to uncover and
cover inter-tidal banks without incurring ...

This thesis describes the implementation of a Just-in-Time (JIT) cell
on a greenfield site. It concentrates on a before and after
implementation situation. Various production parameters are analysed
to compare flowline ...
AUTOMATED INTERPRETATION OF THE BACKGROUND EEG USING FUZZY LOGIC
(University of Plymouth, 1998)
A new framework is described for managing uncertainty and for deahng with artefact
corruption to introduce objectivity in the interpretation of the electroencephalogram
