Expression and characterization of recombinant human NEIL3 from Escherichia coli
Thesis
Albelazi, M. (in press). Expression and characterization of recombinant human NEIL3 from Escherichia coli. (Thesis). University of Salford

The DNA glycosylase NEIL3 is one of a family of proteins that release oxidized bases from DNA, thereby initiating base excision repair. NEIL3 gene expression is normally tightly regulated and expressed only in certain rapidly dividing cells, however,...

A generic approach to modelling individual behaviours in crowd simulation
Thesis
modelling individual behaviours in crowd simulation. (Thesis). University of Salford

Crowd simulation has been widely used to simulate crowd dynamics and their behaviours. However, majority of existing studies can only simulate a specific scenario or behaviour. Although recent developments have attempted to integrate different indivi... Read More about A generic approach to modelling individual behaviours in crowd simulation.

Through pedagogy to safety : A study to identify more productive pedagogies for teaching home chemical safety education interventions to primary school children
Thesis
Latham, G. Through pedagogy to safety : A study to identify more productive pedagogies for teaching home chemical safety education interventions to primary school children. (Thesis). University of Salford

Globally, accidental chemical poisonings account for the deaths of more than 35,000 children below the age of 15 annually. Chemical poisonings also cause many more children to endure disease and disability. A new Globally Harmonised System for Classi...
