Development of coherent detector technologies for sub-millimetre wave astronomy observations by Tan, B-K

“…</p> <p>Using the current 16-pixel 350 GHz SIS receiver, HARP-B, we have observed the ¹²CO J=3→2 emission lines from two nearby galaxies. An important result we found is that the ¹²CO J=3→2 correlates strongly with the 8 μm Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon emission.…”

Structure and inhibition of novel cyclin-dependent kinases by Dixon-Clarke, S

“…Preliminary trials using these relatively non-selective compounds to inhibit CDK16 in melanoma and medulloblastoma cancer cell lines revealed rebastinib as the more efficacious drug causing loss of cell proliferation in the 1-2 micromolar range. …”

Dwelling encounters: migration, diversity and ambivalence in an Istanbul neighborhood by Biehl, K

“…In this dissertation I apply a novel theoretical approach drawing on the concept of dwelling for understanding how residents of Kumkapı relate to their environment and make sense of it. I propose three lines of argument that unfold sequentially through the organizing structure of the thesis. …”

An aerodynamic investigation of a high-pressure turbine using rotor casing static pressure measurements at engine representative conditions with different tip designs, tip gaps, an... by Singh, D, Beard, PF, Cardwell, D, Staelens, V, Bahulekar, P, Stokes, M, Bather, S, Chana, K

“…Steady and unsteady casing static pressure measurements were acquired, using pneumatic lines and high-frequency response (∼100 kHz) Kulite pressure transducers, respectively. …”

Key transcriptional regulators of neutrophil function in inflammation by Ai, Z

“…</p> <p>To investigate the regulatory role of the selected TFs in neutrophils, I utilised HoxB8 myeloid progenitors as a model system for in vitro production of neutrophils and generated stable knockout lines for JUNB, RELB, IRF5, RFX2, KLF6, and RUNX1 in Hoxb8 myeloid progenitors, using the CRISPR/Cas9 mediated system. …”

BRCA1 regulation of breast cancer cell motility by Hernandez Nuñez, ZE

“…Time-lapse microscopy of breast cancer cell lines with various BRCA1 backgrounds was employed to evaluate the impact of inhibiting ubiquitin ligase activity. …”

How are cognitive maps formed and encoded in humans? by Glitz, L

“…In Chapter 4, we find evidence for the latter, with trajectory training resulting in neural encoding of the map that is more similar to separate transitive lines along rows and columns, the extent of which is related to behavioural accuracy. …”

Nanoparticles enhanced laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy for characterisation and discrimination of gemstones by Al-Juboori, Haider, Haider, Zhaib, Hang, Wei, Roslan, Sufi

“…Results have shown a significant enhancement in spectral features, i.e., the emergence of several new spectral lines of major gemstone elements in the UV-Vis regions of the NELIBS spectra, while the CLIBS spectra were devoid of any meaningful spectral information. …”

Three distinct 3-methylcytidine (m3C) methyltransferases modify tRNA and mRNA in mice and humans by Xu, Luang, Liu, Xinyu, Sheng, Na, Oo, Kyaw Soe, Liang, Junxin, Chionh, Yok Hian, Xu, Juan, Ye, Fuzhou, Gao, Yong-Gui, Dedon, Peter C., Fu, Xin-Yuan

“…METTL8, however, modified only mRNA, as determined by biochemical and genetic analyses in Mettl8 null-mutant mice and two human METTL8 mutant cell lines. Our findings provide the first evidence of the existence of m3C modification in mRNA, and the discovery of METTL8 as an mRNA m3C writer enzyme opens the door to future studies of other m3C epitranscriptomic reader and eraser functions.…”
