Gender Inequalities and Scarring Effects in School to Work Transitions
(Queen Mary University of London, 2018-07-10)This thesis investigates issues related to gender inequalities and scarring effects in school to work transitions. The first chapter analyses the gender earnings gap among Italian college graduates at the beginning of ... -
Gender inequalities in India’s new service economy: a case study of the banking sector
(Queen Mary University of London, 2012)This study explores women’s experiences of work and employment in the banking sector in India, addressing the paucity of research in this area. The research assesses how the assumptions of theories on gender, work and ... -
Gender, Agency, and Life Cycle in the Italian Émigrée Experience: The Letters of Luisa Donati Strozzi, 1466–1510
This thesis examines the letters of the Florentine patrician Luisa Donati Strozzi (1434–1510). It provides the first critical analysis of this vernacular-authored correspondence as a case that allows the close study of the ... -
Gender, race and the social construction of leadership in organisations: A South African case study
(Queen Mary University of London, 2017-03-16)This thesis aims to provide a subjectivist account of women and people of colour’s leadership experiences within a specific social context, in order to offer a contribution to the largely acontextual leadership literature. ... -
Gendered L1 attrition and L2 acquisition of pitch range in Japanese-English sequential bilinguals
(2021)This project investigated pitch range production in Japanese-English female and male sequential bilinguals. This language combination was chosen because high pitch level has been claimed to index femininity in Japanese ... -
Gene expression profiling of head and neck cancer
(Queen Mary University of London, 2004)The purpose of this study was to classify oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs) based on their gene expression profiles, to identify differentially expressed genes in these cancers, and to correlate genetic deregulation ... -
General circulation modelling of close-in extrasolar giant planets
(Queen Mary University of London, 2011)A large fraction of the extrasolar planets detected so far are giant planets that have such short orbital periods (a few days) that they are thought to be tidally-synchronised with the host star. Such orbits lead to ... -
General size effect in the Hall-Petch effect and in micromechanical deformation
(Queen Mary University of London, 2017-06-29)This thesis is a study of the size effect. Improvements on both theoretical work and experimental design are involved in this thesis. The theoretical section focuses on the grain size effect, while the experimental section ... -
Generalisation with sparse evidence: the role of predispositions and experience
(2022)Generalisation is an important part of learning in many species. It enables learners to build new knowledge from previous experience and allows them to adapt to novel situations (Banich & Caccamise, 2011; Dehaene, 2020). ... -
Generalized Conditional Entropies and Applications to Channel Ordering and Design
(2023)Generalized conditional entropies (GCEs) are a fundamental concept in the field of Quantitative Information Flow (QIF), the field concerned with quantifying information leakage in security systems. Different entropies ... -
Generating Molecularly-Controlled Biomaterials Using Host-Guest Guided Peptide Amphiphile Self-Assembly
(Queen Mary University of London, 2020-04-28)Supramolecular chemistry offers a unique opportunity to assemble biomaterials with molecular precision. Though biomaterials based on self-assembling peptides often exhibit limited control over their hierarchical assembly, ... -
Generating Uniformly-Distributed Random Generalised 2-designs with Block Size 3
(Queen Mary University of London, 2012-12)Generalised t-designs, defined by Cameron, describe a generalisation of many combinatorial objects including: Latin squares, 1-factorisations of K2n (the complete graph on 2n vertices), and classical t-designs. This new ... -
The generation of α4β7+CLA+ T cells and their role in Inflammatory Bowel Disease
This study describes a novel population of T cells that co-express gut homing integrin α4β7 and skin trafficking glycoprotein CLA, termed ‘dual tropic’ T cells. This population is unique as expression of gut and skin homing ... -
A Generic Software Library for Creating Multimedia Browse/Search Applications
(Queen Mary University of London, 1996)This thesis surveys the field of browse/search interactions. The results of this study form the basis of a specification of a representation scheme and a library of access functions which facilitate the creation of ... -
Genes and type 2 diabetes: polymorphisms of the EIF2AK3 gene and its relationship to type 2 diabetes mellitus
(Queen Mary University of London, 2010)Aims/ Hypothesis: Wolcott- Rallison syndrome (WRS) is a rare autosomal recessively inherited Mendelian disorder. It is characterised by a short trunk compared to arm span, multiple epiphyseal dysplasia, multiple fractures, ... -
Genetic analysis of candidate genes linked to atopic eczema in the Bangladeshi population of East London
(Queen Mary University of London, 2010)Background: Atopic Eczema (AE) is a common skin disease that results from a complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors. It may be associated with other atopic phenotypes including; asthma, hayfever and ... -
Genetic and functional basis of connexins in disease
(Queen Mary University of London, 2011)Gap junctions are composed of connexin (Cx) proteins and permit the transfer of small molecules between cells. Six Cx proteins assemble to form a hemichannel, which can dock with an adjacent hemichannel on another cell to ... -
The genetic and functional basis of three inherited cutaneous and gastrointestinal diseases in humans
(Queen Mary University of London, 29/05/2014)This thesis describes investigations into the genetic basis and pathophysiology of three distinct inherited diseases in humans, two of which are strongly associated to the function of the ectodomain sheddase enzyme ADAM17. The ... -
The Genetic and Functional Basis of Three Inherited Palmoplantar Keratodermas in Human Disease.
(Queen Mary University of London., 2020-09-03)The ability of cells to respond to stress is fundamental for survival. The palmoplantar epidermis, by its very nature, is subjected to substantial external forces. At birth, the skin at these sites is similar to the skin ... -
The Genetic and Functional Role of ABCA12 in Harlequin Ichthyosis
(Queen Mary University of London, 2016-02-19)Harlequin Ichthyosis (HI) is the most severe disorder in the family of autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI). Recessive mutations in the ABC transporter ABCA12 were found to be causative in HI. Loss of ABCA12 ...
