Mutagenesis screening in mice is an effective means of identifying essential genes in cardiovascular development. The l11Jus8 (L8) mutant mouse line was originally isolated from a region-specific N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) chemical mutagenesis screen and exhibited an autosomal …
The first part of this project was inspired by the fascinating internal porosity of Polypore fungi, characterised by channel-like and micro-fibrous porosities, which create a highly efficient directional release system for their basidiospores. An initial analysis of their natura…
The relatively high cost of the high quality semiconductor materials (typically silicon) and complex conventional techniques for the fabrication of solar cells result in the overall high cost of the commercially available solar cells. Although, research in the field of solar tec…
Blast related injuries have become a common occurrence among soldiers and civilians serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, and minor traumatic brain injuries associated with such incidents have increased correspondingly. Advances in protection and treatment have allowed many individua…
