Biosynthesis Of Ambrein In Ambergris: Evidence From Isotopic Data And Identification Of Possible Intermediates, Steven J. Rowland, Paul A. Sutton, George A. Wolff
Biosynthesis Of Ambrein In Ambergris: Evidence From Isotopic Data And Identification Of Possible Intermediates, Steven J. Rowland, Paul A. Sutton, George A. Wolff
More Faculty of Science and Engineering Research
Ambrein is found in ambergris, a coprolith occurring in the rectum of the sperm whale. In vitro, ambrein is produced by enzymatic cyclisation of squalene, via a monocyclic intermediate. However, little is known of the in vivo process. In order to find evidence for the reaction in vivo, a comparison was made of the δ13C relative isotopic ratios of ambrein in ambergris with those of co-occurring sterols. A statistically significant difference was noted. This suggests that ambrein originates via a different biosynthetic mechanism from that of the sterols. Examination of the minor constituents of a hydrogenolysed extract of ambergris revealed …

From Postmodernism To Posthumanism - The Photographed Animal, C Baker
From Postmodernism To Posthumanism - The Photographed Animal, C Baker
School of Art, Design and Architecture
This essay was inspired by the growing critical and artistic attention currently afforded to the subject of the nonhuman animal within Posthumanism and a curiosity to explore photographic practices that could potentially contribute to this endeavour. An exploration of Postmodernist art practice has revealed a dramatic shift in approach to the nonhuman animal subject; essentially characterised as a move from a sceptical, emotionally-distanced, theoretically-grounded range of practices to those that are emotionally-engaged, affective and ethically responsive. This is not to suggest that this characterises all Posthumanist photographic practices; a number of critical writers ably theorise about global networks, nonhuman photography, …

Od Postmodernizma K Posthumanizmu - Fotografirana Žival, C Baker
School of Art, Design and Architecture
Povzetek: Esej je navdihnila vse večja pozornost, ki jo kritiki in umetniki v posthumanizmu posvečajo predmetu nečloveške živali, in pa vedoželjnost glede raziskovanja fotografskih praks, ki bi potencialno lahko doprinesle k tovrstnim poskusom. Raziskava postmodernističnih umetniških praks je razkrila dramatičen premik v pristopanju k predmetu nečloveške živali, kar v bistvu označuje prehod od skeptičnega, čustveno distanciranega, v teoriji utemeljenega nabora praks k takšnim, ki so čustveno angažirane, afektivne in etično odzivne. S tem nočem reči, da je to značilno za vse posthumanistične fotografske prakse; ni malo kritičnih piscev, ki kompetentno pišejo o globalnih omrežjih, nečloveški fotografiji, abstrakciji vida. Sama pa …
Investigating Changes In The Chemical Composition Of Wood Upon Digestion By Wood-Boring Bivalves Of The Sub-Family Xylophagaidae, And Potential Implications For Marine Biogeochemical Cycles, Briony Cope
The Plymouth Student Scientist
The sub-family of molluscs Xylophagaidae are the primary degraders of wood in the oceans. They are part of an opportunistic ecosystem, which survives on temporary falls of large organic matter, such as carcasses and wood debris. After digesting the wood with the help of symbiotic bacteria, Xylophagaidae excrete a pulp like substance, which lines the walls of their burrows. The nutrients in the broken down wood becomes accessible to other forms of life, and growing populations create anoxic environments, which encourage chemoautotrophic activity. This research aims to identify the role that Xylopohagaidae play in the biogeochemical cycles of certain elements, …
Planning Their Future Places? Investigating The Role Of Young People Within The Contemporary English Planning System In Plymouth, Alex Bertram
The Plymouth Student Scientist
Despite young people being the longest-term stakeholders in society (Simpson, 1997), academic discourses promoting the benefits of youth involvement have historically struggled to translate into widespread youth participation in planning practice (Knowles-Yanez, 2005). However, in recent years, English planning reforms (as part of the 2010 to 2015 Coalition government’s wider ‘Localism’ and Big Society’ agendas) have provided an unprecedented devolution of powers to communities (Tewdwr-Jones, 2012), most prominently through Neighbourhood Plans (Norton and Hughes, 2018). In contrast to increasing amounts of youth participation literature from a variety of countries across the globe, there has been a relative dearth of England-specific …
Thermal Oxidation And Subsequent Characterisation Of Gilsocarbon Nuclear Graphite, Thomas Swain
Thermal Oxidation And Subsequent Characterisation Of Gilsocarbon Nuclear Graphite, Thomas Swain
The Plymouth Student Scientist
Gilsocarbon is a graphite grade used as a main structural proponent of the current UK fleet of Advanced Gas-Cooled Reactors. In this research, multiple gilsocarbon graphite samples were thermally oxidised in an attempt to simulate the effects on the graphite of radiolytic oxidation, which occurs in the reactors core. A combined technique of characterising virgin and thermally oxidised samples was taken, the Grand-canonical Monte-Carlo data from gas adsorption isotherms and mercury porosimetry intrusion data, giving percolation characteristics across the entire pore range of the graphite by stitching this data together via the simulation software PoreXpert. It was confirmed that oxidation …
Statistical Analysis Of The Effect Of Lesson And Learning Styles On The Learning And Retention Of Information Of Secondary School Chemistry Students, Lauren Barry
The Plymouth Student Scientist
The study is an interdisciplinary study as it links to both chemistry and also social science. The project investigated the learning and recall of information of year 9 students at Richard Lander School. In total 85 students participated in this study. Two top set ability groups and two bottom set ability groups were selected by the school to participate in either a non-practical or practical lesson. The students all completed a pre-lesson test to assess their knowledge of the lesson subject (chromatography) prior to the lesson. This was used to establish that the top/bottom set ability was the same for …

Reconstructing The Christian Malford Ecosystem In The Oxford Clay Formation (Callovian, Jurassic) Of Wiltshire: Exceptional Preservation, Taphonomy, Burial And Compaction, Malcolm B. Hart, Kevin N. Page, Gregory D. Price, Christopher W. Smart
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
Abstract. The Christian Malford lagerstätte in the Oxford Clay Formation of Wiltshire contains exceptionally well-preserved squid-like cephalopods, including Belemnotheutis antiquus (Pearce). Some of these fossils preserve muscle tissue, contents of ink sacks and other soft parts of the squid, including arms with hooks in situ and the head area with statoliths (ear bones) present in life position. The preservation of soft-tissue material is usually taken as an indication of anoxic or dysaerobic conditions on the sea floor and within the enclosing sediments. Interestingly, in the prepared residues of all these sediments there are both statoliths and arm hooks as well …

Understanding The Energy Use Behaviour Of British Indian Households To Shape Optimised Sustainable Housing Strategies In Existing Housing Stock, Bk Satish, J Brennan
Understanding The Energy Use Behaviour Of British Indian Households To Shape Optimised Sustainable Housing Strategies In Existing Housing Stock, Bk Satish, J Brennan
School of Art, Design and Architecture
The notional benefits of more efficient use and effective retrofit to existing housing is both sensible and attractive. Unlike new build, performance improvements cannot be pursued purely by legislation and regulation. Instead, householders need to be persuaded of the material benefits of better energy practices. In improving energy efficiency in the home, providing relevant and useful guidance is critical. Current guidance rarely takes account of specific cultural and ethnic circumstances. The research examines the relationship between cultural values and the energy use behaviour of diaspora households in the UK. The paper presents the results of two surveys that seek to …

Herpesviruses are thought to have evolved in very close association with their hosts. This is notably the case for cytomegaloviruses (CMVs; genus Cytomegalovirus) infecting primates, which exhibit a strong signal of co-divergence with their hosts. Some herpesviruses are however known to have crossed species barriers. Based on a limited sampling of CMV diversity in the hominine (African great ape and human) lineage, we hypothesized that chimpanzees and gorillas might have mutually exchanged CMVs in the past. Here, we performed a comprehensive molecular screening of all 9 African great ape species/subspecies, using 675 fecal samples collected from wild animals. We identified …

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
© 2019 Elsevier B.V. High quality observational data with a firm uncertainty assessment are essential for the proper validation of biogeochemical models for trace metals such as iron. Typically, concentrations of these metals are very low in oceanic waters (nM and sub nM) and ICP-MS is therefore a favoured technique for quantitative analysis. Uncertainties in the measurement step are generally well constrained, even at sub-nM concentrations. However, the measurement step is only part of the overall procedure. For the determination of trace metal solubilities from aerosols in the surface ocean, aerosol collection on a filter paper followed by a leaching …

Reconciling Storegga Tsunami Sedimentation Patterns With Modelled Wave Heights: A Discussion From The Shetland Isles Field Laboratory, Ag Dawson, S Dawson, Stein Bondevik, Pedro J.M. Costa, Jon Hill, Iain Stewart
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
The Shetland Isles represent an ideal field laboratory for tsunami geoscience research. This is due to the widespread preservation of Holocene tsunami sediments in coastal peat deposits. This study uses published accounts of the Holocene Storegga Slide tsunami to illustrate how two different approaches – mapping of tsunami sediments and numerical modelling – produce radically different run-up heights. The Storegga Slide is one of the world largest submarine slides and took place ca 8150 cal yr bp on the continental slope west of Norway. The tsunami generated by the landslide deposited locally extensive sheets of marine sand and gravel, as …

Integrating Climate Change Adaptation In The Planning And Regeneration Of Coastal Urban Areas: Priorities Barriers, And Future Prospects, Daniel Young, Stephen Essex
Integrating Climate Change Adaptation In The Planning And Regeneration Of Coastal Urban Areas: Priorities Barriers, And Future Prospects, Daniel Young, Stephen Essex
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing society and the spatial planning system plays a crucial role in ensuring that important adaptations to the built environment are evaluated. Drawing upon a mixed-methods research approach, this paper explores the progress that has been made by the planning system in England in addressing the challenge of climate change adaptation in coastal urban areas. The results indicate that the adaptation produced through the planning system remains incremental rather than transformative. It is focused on experienced hazards, especially flooding, and there is a lack of attention being paid to wider impacts of …

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
The dynamic evolution of fault zones at the seismogenic brittle–ductile transition zone (BDTZ) expresses the delicate interplay between numerous physical and chemical processes. Deformation and fluid flow at the BDTZ are closely related and mutually dependent during repeating and transient cycles of frictional and viscous deformation. Despite numerous studies documenting in detail seismogenic faults exhumed from the BDTZ, uncertainties remain as to the exact role of fluids in facilitating broadly coeval brittle and ductile deformation at that structural level. We combine structural analysis, fluid inclusion, and mineral chemistry data from synkinematic and authigenic minerals to reconstruct the temporal variations in …

Blake, Patrick Ndakidemi
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
Increased soil erosion is one of the main drivers of land degradation in East Africa’s agricultural and pastoral landscapes. This wicked problem is rooted in historic disruptions to co-adapted agro-pastoral systems. Introduction of agricultural growth policies by centralised governance resulted in temporal and spatial scale mismatches with the complex and dynamic East African environment, which subsequently contributed to soil exhaustion, declining fertility and increased soil erosion. Coercive policies of land use, privatisation, sedentarisation, exclusion and marginalisation led to a gradual erosion of the indigenous social and economic structures. Combined with the inability of the new nation-states to provide many of …
