Sociospatial reframing of walking through inclusive streets and urban heritage by Wang, Yongcheng

“…The analysis revealed broad themes such as a vision of a “car-lite” city and the broadening scope of urban heritage, and specific themes such as heritage trails for learning while walking and the blurred line between locals and tourists. Furthermore, insight into policy implications was derived from a mixed-methods study of the public consultation exercise on urban redevelopment in Macao. …”

Investigating the role of CDK1 in governing the transcriptional landscape in cancer cells by Pluta, AJ

“…The work described in this thesis aimed to test the hypothesis that CDK1 dysregulation contributes to transcriptional re-programming during tumorigenesis by imposing a stem cell-like gene expression programme. An elegant method of examining this role is through the use of cell lines expressing an ATP analogue-sensitive CDK1 (AS-CDK1), which allows for rapid and specific inhibition of the kinase. …”
