Proteomic and metabolomic analyses of the human adult myocardium reveal ventricle-specific regulation in end-stage cardiomyopathies by Hunter, B, Li, M, Parker, BL, Koay, YC, Harney, DJ, Pearson, E, Cao, J, Chen, GT, Guneratne, O, Smyth, GK, Larance, M, O’Sullivan, JF, Lal, S

“…Constituents of gluconeogenesis, glycolysis, lipogenesis, lipolysis, fatty acid catabolism, the citrate cycle and oxidative phosphorylation were down-regulated in the left ventricle, while glycogenesis, pyruvate and ketone metabolism were up-regulated. …”

Suppression of superconductivity and enhanced critical field anisotropy in thin flakes of FeSe by Farrar, L, Bristow, M, Haghighirad, A, McCollam, A, Bending, S, Coldea, A

“…In order to understand the role played by the substrate and the reduced dimensionality on superconductivity, we examine the superconducting properties of exfoliated FeSe thin flakes by reducing the thickness from bulk down towards 9 nm. Magnetotransport measurements performed in magnetic fields up to 16T and temperatures down to 2K help to build up complete superconducting phase diagrams of different thickness flakes. …”

Ecological forces affecting microbial eukaryotes in the coastal ocean by Gomez, Annika L.

“…The total abundance of a protistan population at any given time relies upon a combination of growth and death rates, which are impacted by nutrient availability (bottom-up control) and predation (top-down control). In this thesis, I investigate the effect of specific top-down and bottom-up forces at fine scales of time, location, and taxonomy, uncovering mechanisms by which nutrient limitation and viral infection affect marine protistan communities. …”

A 35-Year Analysis of Vegetation Cover in Rare-Earth Mining Areas Using Landsat Data by Zheng, Zhubin, Liu, Yuqing, Chen, Na, Liu, Ge, Lei, Shaohua, Xu, Jie, Li, Jianzhong, Ren, Jingli, Huang, Chao

“…The findings indicate that (1) vegetation coverage in Dingnan County decreased from 1988 to 2002, followed by a gradual increase; (2) high vegetation cover is predominantly found in forested areas that maintain their natural state, while the central town and mining areas exhibit generally low coverage; (3) there are regional differences in the relationship between vegetation cover and environmental factors in Dingnan County. …”

Determinants of underdiagnosis of COPD in national and international surveys by Lamprecht, B, Soriano, JB, Studnicka, M, Kaiser, B, Vanfleteren, LE, Gnatiuc, L, Burney, P, Miravitlles, M, García-Rio, F, Akbari, K, Ancochea, J, Menezes, AM, Perez-Padilla, R, Montes de Oca, M, Torres-Duque, CA, Caballero, A, González-García, M, Buist, S

“…Population prevalence of (spirometrically defined) COPD ranged from 3.6% in Barranquilla, Colombia, to 19.0% in Cape Town, South Africa. Only 26.4% reported a previous lung function test, and only 5.0% reported a previous diagnosis of COPD, whereas 9.7% had a postbronchodilator FEV1/FVC < LLN. …”

Episcopacy and parochialism in early South African Anglicanism: Bishop Robert Gray and the antecedent churches of the Cape Colony, 1806-72 by Bester, M

“…<p>This thesis considers the development of ecclesiastical authority in early Cape Colonial Anglicanism under the episcopacy of Robert Gray (1809–72), the first Bishop of Cape Town (1847–72). It explores the nature of opposition that Gray’s episcopacy faced from the fourteen independent worshipping congregations established privately or by the colonial state between 1806 and 1847, and how he brought these disputes to resolution, or, in some cases, failed to do so.…”
