X-ray microtomography study of carious dentine and a comparison of its removal by three techniques
(2010)The wisdom on mechanical removal of carious dentine based on hardness has been challenged and chemo-mechanical technique has been proposed as a more conservative method. However, the extent and comparison of excessive ... -
An X-ray Microtomography Study of the Effect of an Experimental Statherin-like Peptide on Demineralisation and Remineralisation of Enamel
(Queen Mary University of London, 2014)The salivary protein, statherin, plays an important role in enamel homeostasis. It forms a bioactive complex with calcium and phosphate releasing these ions when pH decreases. Statherin also forms part of the enamel ... -
The yagé aesthetic of William Burroughs: the publication and development of his work 1953-1965
(2011)My concern in this thesis is to show that a reconstruction of the publishing history of the work of William Burroughs offers a new, critical perspective on his experiments with psychoactive substances and their connection ... -
The Yukos Case: The New Dimension in Money Laundering Cases
(2008)The Yukos case is known for its unprecedented character and complexity as a Russian corporate, tax and money laundering case. It continues to raise political and legal problems, both domestically and internationally, and ... -
Z4-codes and their gray map images as orthogonal arrays and t-designs
(2009)This thesis discusses various connections between codes over rings, in par- ticular linear Z4-codes and their Gray map images as orthogonal arrays and t-designs. It also introduces the connections between VC-dimension ... -
Zebra fish as a model for translational neurobiology: Implications for drug discovery and development
(Queen Mary University of London, 2017-06-15)Diseases which affect the central nervous system present a huge burden to sufferers and caregivers. In tandem with longevity, prevalences of age-related neurodegenerative diseases are increasing. However, despite the ... -
ZFP64: a novel protein in centromere regulation, and chromosomal instability in cancer
(Queen Mary University of London, 2021)Chromosomal instability (CIN), a state defined by the ongoing loss/gain of chromosomes, affects the vast majority of cancers. However, the underlying mechanisms which drive CIN in cancer, and allow cancer cells to survive ... -
The zinc finger transcription factor Early Growth Response 2 (Egr-2) is an intrinsic regulator of T cell tolerance and homeostasis
(2009)Tolerance of T cells to self-antigen is crucial to prevent the development of autoimmune disease. How self-tolerance is controlled at the transcriptional level is, however, unknown. We discovered that the transcription ... -
ZnO Nanorods-Based Piezoelectric Energy Harvesters.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2015-07)Piezoelectric nanostructures of ZnO were employed for development of vibration energy harvesters. Columnar nanorod structures of ZnO, incorporated into various heterojunction-based device prototypes, were strained to ... -
