Regulating Geopolitical Space: EU Interaction with East Africa
(Plymouth University, 2010)Relations with developing countries have been a field of collective European policy for more than fifty years. Yet, European development policy remains fragmented; conducted on different levels through a variety of ... -
Regulation of macrophage subsets in homeostatic and inflammatory mucosal environments
(University of Plymouth, 2018)The interaction between epithelial cells and macrophages is integral to mucosal immune fate: determining the decision between tolerance and immune activation/inflammation. Endotoxin tolerisation (ET) is a circumstance ... -
Reinforcement learning in intelligent control : a biologically-inspired approach to the relearning problem
(University of Plymouth, 1998)The increasingly complex demands placed on control systems have resulted in a need for intelligent control, an approach that attempts to meet these demands by emulating the capabilities found in biological systems. The ... -
Relating genotoxicity to DNA repair and reproductive success in zebrafish (Danio rerio) exposed to environmental toxicants
(University of Plymouth, 2012)The potential for environmental toxicants to cause genetic damage (genotoxicity) in organisms is a prominent concern because effects on DNA can compromise reproductive success and survival in organisms. Genotoxicity in ... -
Relations between impulsivity and mindfulness in adolescents with behavioural, emotional and social difficulties
(University of Plymouth, 2012)Impulsivity and the effectiveness of a mindfulness-based intervention were explored in relation to improving behavioural self-regulation in adolescents with behavioural, emotional and social difficulties (BESD). A ... -
A relationship approach to the marketing of professional ship management services
(University of Plymouth, 1998)Professional ship management, i. e. the management of ships by third parties on behalf of their owners, has grown in importance in international shipping. This research investigates the relationship between professional ... -
The relationship between active faulting and fluvial geomorphology: a case study in the Gediz Graben, Turkey.
(Plymouth University, 2015)Identifying tectonically active faults and quantifying rates of movement is a key challenge in the Earth Sciences, in addition to this the interactions between active faulting and the landscape, specifically involving the ... -
The Relationship Between Culture, Manager’s Leadership Styles, and Employees’ Motivation Level in a Bahraini Service Organisation Environment
(University of Plymouth, 2018)The study explored the interrelation between leadership styles, employee motivation, and culture among Bahraini employees and managers in Victory Training Development Institute (VTDI) - a vocational training organization ... -
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LIVESTOCK DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS AND ANIMAL WELFARE
(University of Plymouth, 2001)Major changes are taking place in all sectors of the livestock and meat producing industries from farm to consumer which impinge on the processes and patterns of livestock distribution from farm to slaughter. These changes ... -
The relationship between teachers' understanding of the nature of science and their science practice : four case studies from an urban primary school.
(University of Plymouth, 2000)This thesis explores the relationship between a teacher's understanding of the nature of science and her practice. The idea that teachers' understanding of the nature of science is a powerful determinant of their actions ... -
Relationships between iron, oxidative stress, glycated proteins and the development of atherosclerosis in Type 2 diabetes
(Plymouth University, 2015)Hyperglycaemia stimulates a variety of biochemical abnormalities. The area of particular interest in this study is the influence of non-enzymatic glycation of proteins on iron homeostasis, and particularly on non-transf ... -
RELATIVE QUANTITATION OF PEPTIDES BY INDUCTIVELY COUPLED PLASMA MASS SPECTROMETRY
(University of Plymouth, 2008)Currently, the detection/quantitation of biomolecules using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICR-MS) is focused on heteroatom containing (e.g. S. P, Se, Cu) compounds. This limits the scope of ICP-MS as a ... -
Relativistic Charge Dynamics in Electromagnetic Fields
(University of Plymouth, 2019)In this thesis we consider the motion of a charged particle in strong electromagnetic background elds, having in mind applications to state-of-the-art high-power lasers. To nd solutions of the Lorentz force equation of ... -
Remote sensing of optically active marine components
(University of Plymouth, 2004)Remote sensing is an efficient tool to monitor the aquatic ecology. The optical signature in coastal marine environment is a reflection of the complex distribution of optically active marine components. It is essential ... -
Remote Sensing Of Suspended Sediment
(University of Plymouth, 1996)A remote sensing near infrared suspended sediment algorithm is developed from first principles and applied to Compact Airborne Spectrographic Imagery (CASI) data flown over the Humber Estuary. Laboratory measurements were ... -
