Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1987

description: Morphactins are derivatives of 9-hydroxyfluorene-9-carboxylic acid which exhibit plant growth regulating activity. The aim of the work was to synthesise aza analogues (indenopyridines) of these compounds and to assess their biological activity. Additionally, because the chemistry of indenopyridines has received little attention a secondary objective was to extend knowledge in this area. Reviews of the synthesis and reactions of indenopyridine compounds are given.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Assessing the spatial structure and dynamics of marine populations at the various scales characterizing the oceanic systems is still a major challenge for ecologists. We present a new methodological framework called Lagrangian Flow Network (LFN) which allows a systematic characterization of multi-scale dispersal and connectivity of early life history stages of marine organisms. The network is constructed by subdividing the basin into an ensemble of sub-regions which are interconnected through the transport of propagules by ocean currents. The present version allows the identification of hydrodynamical provinces and the computation of connectivity proxies measuring retention and exchange of larvae. Due to our spatial discretization and subsequent network representation, as well as our Lagrangian approach, further methodological improvements are handily accessible. It permits a better characterization of population connectivity at multiple scales and it informs its ecological and managerial interpretations toward a sound management and protection of marine ecosystems.

Remarks: This species was originally described in Nyctalus due to its long and slender wings, but subsequently transferred to Pipistrellus, and most recently to Hypsugo, on the basis of morphology. Anthony ’ s Pipistrelle Hypsugo anthonyi is apparently morphologically like M. jo ff rei but with a paler pelage; however, Bates et al.

THE CHARACTERISTICS. BEHAVIOUR AND HETEROGENEOUS CHEMICAL REACTIVITY OF ESTUARINE SUSPENDED PARTICLES
Creators: name: Bale, Anthony John
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1987

description: A systematic, seasonal study of the distribution, behaviour and characteristics of the suspended and sedimentary particulate material in the macro-tidal Tamar Estuary and its influence on solution chemistry has been undertaken. This work has attempted to characterise the variability in particle properties associated with the major cyclic influences of the semi-diurnal and spring-neap and the seasonal climatic signals and to relate these findings to the distribution and transport of trace metals in estuaries. Characterisation of the particles involved measurements of surface charge using electrophoretic techniques, particle size, settling rates and densities, bulk compositional analysis and visual examination by scanning electron microscopy. At the same time, the internal cycling of particulate material between the sediment and suspended phases through oscillations in tidal energy and the transport of particles associated with the seasonal migration of the mobile estuarine sediment shoal and turbidity maximum material were estimated. Distributions of the dissolved metals, Cu, Zn, Ni and Cd were measured in the estuary over a range of seasonal and tidal conditions. The close co-variance between the degree of soluble metal removal and the location and magnitude of the turbidity maximum indicated that sorption on to particles was a major factor influencing metal distributions in the low salinity region of the estuary. A series of laboratory experiments using radio-isotope s were carried out to examine the factors which influence the partitioning of metals between natural suspended particles and the soluble phase in estuaries. A comprehensive picture of the interactions of salinity, pH and temperature on the partition coefficients for Zn, Cd and Cs was derived. With the aid of a recently developed mathematical model, realistic simulations of the distribution s and fluxes of salt and particles (suspended and sedimentary) in the Tamar Estuary were produced. Corresponding distributions of dissolved zinc were generated by the model using the partition coefficient s derived from the radio-tracer work. The simulated profiles of soluble zinc measured in this way accurately followed the major features of the measured metal distributions as well as closely replicating the absolute values. Manipulations of the model parameters indicated that tidally dominated , up-estuary pumping of metal poor particles was the primary factor controlling the degree of metal removal at the turbidity maximum.
THE SKIN AND MUCOUS SECRETION OF THE EUROPEAN EEL, Anguilla anguilla. L .
Creators: name: ARCHER, GLENN C.
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1979

description: The epidermis of the eel A. Anguilla L. secretes a mucous layer mainly from its mucous cells although there may also be a contribution from surface epidermal cells . Under certain conditions, the epidermal cells may transform to a secretory cell type that resembles, but is structurally distinct from a mucous cell . This observation has not previously been reported in fish epidermis. Specialised club cells, characteristic of the Anguillidae contain filamentous material that may be secreted beneath the epidermal surface. This previously unobserved phenomenon together with an increase in cell numbers around the lateral region may suggest an additional protective mechanism which may be of use, for example, during 'burrowing'. The quantitative distribution of mucous cells over the body was also determined and the cellular contents of the main cell types characterised histochemically. Lymphocytes and previously unseen granular neutrophil-like cells may function in more specific protective mechanisms against pathogenic organisms . The mucus has been examined biochemically and separated by chromatography and electrophoresis to reveal several components. Rheological study has established shear thinning properties of the mucus and functional groups essential to maintain the integrity of the mucous structure. The dynamics of mucous secretion have been observed autoradiographically and a model for the mechanism of secretion proposed . Attempts have been made to measure the rate of mucous secretion under a number of experimental conditions which are discussed in relation to the viscous nature of mucus and the proposed model for secretion. The epidermis and its mucous secretion thus provide an effective lubricative barrier to the environment extremely important for locomotion and protection from dessication, osmotic stress and disease organisms.

description: Single-use packaging items constitute a large proportion of the plastic litter found in the marine environment. Consumer behaviour is a key contributor to the accumulation of this pollution in the environment. This thesis outlines correlational and experimental research on consumer responses to environmentally relevant qualities of single-use packaging. Furthermore, it considers a novel concept of ocean connectedness as a psychological moderator of consumer response. Studies 1 and 2 investigated consumer responses to recyclability of packaging as well as its raw material (plastic, glass, carton and aluminium) in undergraduate students and in a broader UK public sample. Ocean connectedness was assessed with a survey, and its associations with responses to packaging recyclability and material were explored. Study 3 was implemented as a large-scale online survey and investigated consumer responses to the origin, design and end-of-life scenarios of packaging using the Kano model of consumer satisfaction. Consumer segments were further created based on respondent characteristics, including levels of ocean connectedness and sociodemographic variables, and differences in packaging responses across consumer profiles were explored. The collected survey data further enabled exploration of the conceptual differences and similarities between ocean connectedness and nature connectedness. Studies 4 and 5 examined the potential of Virtual Reality (VR) technologies in inducing ocean connectedness. In two experimental studies, the impacts of VR manipulation on explicit and implicit ocean connectedness, as well as on subsequent responses to packaging recyclability and material, were tested. Overall, these studies provide evidence of consumers valuing packaging designed using circular strategies. Furthermore, a correlational association between ocean connectedness and responses to packaging recyclability and material was found: Consumers with higher levels of ocean connectedness demonstrated more positive evaluations of sustainable packaging features and were more critical towards packaging made of plastic. However, no causal link between ocean connectedness and packaging responses could be established. Yet, this work advocates for the importance of psychological ocean connectivity, a concept shown to have a somewhat unique profile in comparison to general nature connectedness, in shaping consumer responses to packaging sustainability.
The In-situ Erosion of Intertidal Muds
Creators: name: Christie, Malcolm
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1997

description: Intertidal mudflats can experience rapid morphological changes, and are both sources and sinks of fine cohesive sediment within an estuary. Successful environmental management of these regions depends upon in-situ measurements, which help specify the interactions between the active processes and so allow the development of predictive models that the management practices require. The Profiles of Sediment Transport system (POST) has been developed in order to make high frequency measurements of velocity and suspended sediment concentration profiles in very shallow water (i.e. when depth, h < 1.0 m). Electromagnetic current meters and optical sensors were miniaturised to allow measurements within a few centimetres of the sea bed and provide fine scale resolution of vertical profiles. Two in-situ experiments, located in the Severn and Humber estuaries, examined the response of a mudflat to changing environmental factors, and in particular, studied the influence of local waves and tidal currents in very shallow water of depth (h)< 1.0 m. A value of 0.127 Nmˉ²was considered to be representative of the critical erosion shear stress (Tint) at Portishead, while at Skeffling τait was estimated to be about 0.31 Nmˉ². The effects of wave and current action were quantified and expressions were used to describe the relationships between velocity, bed shear stress and concentration. An expression relating near bed concentration to mean velocity (U ) at Skeffling was simply: Concentration (gLˉ¹) = 1.908 U + 0.193 when h< 1.0 m. R² = 0.730 The physical processes causing erosion and deposition across two mudflats have been identified, and the predictive expressions are considered to provide first order approximations for sediment concentrations and transport behaviour, for similar conditions at other North European sites. The results showed that the shallow water periods at the beginning and end of tidal coverage were extremely important in determining the surface character of the mudflat, and any erosion was most marked at these times. Small waves can be crucial to erosion because of their large contribution to the bed shear stresses in shallow water. Ignoring biological and chemical variables (both of which can control of erosion), it is proposed that for typical temperate environmental conditions, some form of mudflat erosion is likely when h< 1.0 m, and either the significant wave height (H2) is greater than 0.25 m, or the near bed velocities exceed 0.2 msˉ¹.
THE CONSERVATION BIOLOGY OF BERBERIS HOLSTII ENGL. IN NYIKA NATIONAL PARK, MALAWI
Creators: name: NYIRENDA, CECILIA PROMISE MALIWICHI
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 2008

description: Biological resources are particularly important in resource-limited countries where utilisation demands challenge conservation efforts. The study focussed on Berberis holstii, a plant resource on high demand in northern Malawi restricted to Nyika National Park. The uses, distribution, habitat characteristics, demography and seed germination requirements of this important species were investigated. Uses were investigated by means of ethnobotanical interviews. The species distribution in the park was mapped employing GIS. Habitats were characterised employing multivariate methods implemented in the programmes PC-ORD and PRIMER. Demographic studies employed matrix projections to characterise representative populations. Finally, laboratory germination trials allowed determination of light, cold stratification and temperature requirements for seed germination. Forty-seven uses were documented. Of these, thirty were medicinal and the rest for income generation. The most common uses included infusion for coughs, malaria, stomachache, sexually transmitted infections and pneumonia. Because roots are employed, whole plants are dug out. This lead to the extinction of five of the recorded 94 sites. Fire periodically kills the aerial part of plants, which then tend to recover through resprouting. The species is restricted to high altitude, open areas on sandy/loamy soils. Despite harvesting and fire, demographic projections showed positive population growth. Population growth rate is more sensitive to mortality of late juvenile stages and early adult stages than it is to demographic transitions and contributions by other stage classes. Germination was higher when seeds were stored for one year, had a prechilling treatment (cold stratification) and were germinated under light at -20°C. Seeds did not lose viability during two years of storage raising prospects for their artificial storage. The study provides important information for the conservation and management of this important African endemic. It highlights some of the difficulties confronted in projecting the population dynamics of species with sporadic simultaneous recruitment and tests the ability of a recently proposed model to determine germination requirements. In a wider context, the study shows that a combination of methodological approaches (ethnobotany, biogeography, demography and germination) allows a more complete understanding of the evolutionary, ecological and social factors that must be taken into account in the conservation of individual species.

ENHANCED SEDIMENT TRANSPORT NEAR SEAWALLS AND REFLECTIVE BEACHES
Creators: name: MILES, JONATHON RUPERT
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1997

description: This thesis describes results of a field experiment to examine the effect of wave reflection on suspended sediment transport in front of a seawall. Two instrument rigs were set up on the beach at Teignmouth, South Devon, U.K., in June 1995. One rig (the seawall rig) was attached to a protruding section of seawall, positioning the instruments 1.2m seaward of the wall. The other rig (the beach rig) acted as a control and was positioned 135m downcoast where the seawall is set back so that conditions were those of a natural beach. At each rig high frequency measurements of wave elevation, current velocity and suspended sediment concentrations were made using pressure transducers (PTs), bi-axial electromagnetic current meters (EMCMs) and optical backscatter sensors (OBSs) respectively. Wave heights during the experiment were typically in the range 0.1
THE GERMINATION REQUIREMENTS OF NATURALLY BURIED SEEDS WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO FLUCTUATING TEMPERATURES
Creators: name: WHATLEY, JEAN CAROL
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1984

description: An apparatus is described which enables a layer of soil, containing naturally buried seeds, to be subjected to controlled temperature fluctuations over the range 5 C to 30 C, in the presence or absence of light. Results obtained from the use of this apparatus are presented for fourteen species, all common constituents of the buried seed bank and nearly all weeds of arable land or pasture. At least partial inhibition of germination by darkness is found in all fourteen species and stimulation of germination by temperature fluctuations in all but one. In several species strong inhibition by certain constant temperatures is overcome by the inclusion of these temperatures in a fluctuating temperature regime but in some cases germination is inhibited by very large fluctuations. In the field the temporal pattern of germination for six of the above species is recorded and related to variations in the environment. When soil moisture is maintained at field capacity the timing of germination can be predicted from the temperature response curves found in the laboratory. The initial flush in the field seems to be governed by chilling requirements. There is some evidence that a requirement for temperature fluctuations may be induced by burial. Laboratory tests on harvested Rumex obtusifolius seeds suggest that the length of exposure to far-red light before burial affects the subsequent responsiveness to temperature fluctuations. The possible mechanisms underlying the germination responses of buried seeds and the ecological significance of the results are discussed.

description: Concerns over animal welfare within pig production, the flavour of the meat produced, environmental considerations and food safety worries have led consumers to question the merits of current production systems. The study set out to investigate the effects of outdoor rearing and the offering of farm produced forage on the growth rate of pigs and the eating quality of the pork produced. Experiment 1: 2 groups of British Lop X Welsh finishing pigs were housed either in indoor straw bedded pens with access to an outside yard (YA) or in outdoor accommodation with a simple shelter (OA). All pigs were offered the same pelletized diet, restricted to be approximately equivalent to appetite, in order to explore the feed conversion efficiency of pigs within the two housing systems. No difference was found in the growth rates of animals finished on the two housing systems. It was found that pigs in the OA group took a mean of 10 days longer to fatten, incurring the associated additional costs which was in agreement with other studies. Experiment 2: 2 groups of British Lop X Welsh finishing pigs were offered a diet pelletized cereal based feed (PD) or a diet in which 40% of the pelletized feed were substituted with maize silage (FD). In the FD diet 1 Kg of pelletized feed was substituted with 2.5 Kg maize silage. No difference in growth rate was found, however animals offered the FD took 17.5 days longer to finish. The comparison of growth rates between the two groups established that the FD pigs were able to utilise 2.98 MJ/ Kg of maize silage fed (fresh weight) equating to an ME 8.5MJ/ Kg on a dry matter basis. A preference taste test was conducted with members of the general public using the pork produced in Experiment 2. A clear preference was demonstrated for the pork produced from FD pigs (P<0.01), however the result was not consistent across all age groups. Benefits of feeding a fibrous diet were identified, in regard to flavour and cost, however better understanding of the most suitable forages is required to maintain production levels and carcass quality.

THE BENTHIC ECOLOGY OF MARINE AGGREGATE DEPOSITS
Creators: name: ROBINSON, JAMIE EDWARD
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 2004

description: Macrobenthic assemblages and sedimentary conditions of five areas were described and compared; the role of abiotic factors in shaping benthic distributions was also examined. Two of the study sites were actively dredged at the time of sample collection and the effects of this aggregate extraction were investigated. It was concluded that trailer dredging (at the level intensity employed at these sites) was not associated with any significant disruption to benthic community structure, despite the differences in abiotic and biotic characteristics of the two dredged areas. A meta-analysis of findings from published dredging impact studies revealed a differential response to dredging that was related to habitat type. Full recovery of the benthos following the cessation of dredging was not observed in any of the habitat types suggesting that dredging is associated with a long-term alteration of macrobenthic resources.

Studies on the infection of honey bee larvae with Ascosphaera apis
Creators: name: Bamford, Sally
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1987

description: The fungus Ascosphaera apis causes the disease chalk brood in larvae of the honey bee, Apis mellifera. Ascospores were recognised as the agents of disease, but the site of their germination to initiate infection had not been established. In this study larval surface cuticle was initially investigated as a possible site, but spores did not even activate here. Therefore, potential inhibitors of spore germination were studied, including water and chloroform washings of larval cuticle; 4 larval food constituents - pollen, honey, brood food, royal jelly; and a variety of medium-chain fatty acids a t concentrations of 1, 0.1 and 0. 01%. Royal jelly exhibited a severe inhibitory effect on all germination stages. Larvae were successfully infected by feeding them food Containing A. apis spores, both in vitro and in vivo. A histological study of infected larvae demonstrated germination of spores in the mid-gut lumen, followed by penetration of the peritrophic membrane and gut epithelium by developing hyphae; and subsequent invasion of larval tissues by mycelia. Various aspects of spore physiology were investigated. Spore activation and enlargement were shown to be independent of temperature within the ranges of 10 to 40°C and 25 to 40°C respectively, while germ-tube production was closely temperature related, only occurring between 25 and 37°C - with an optimum between 31 and 35°C . However, all 3 germination stages were found to be independent of environmental pH within the range of pH 5 to 7.8. Studies on the nutritional requirements for germination revealed the need for exogenous supplies of both a carbon and nitrogen source to support germ-tube production. The ‘spore-ball phenomenon’ was investigated and a supplementary amino acid source was identified . The etiology of chalk brood is discussed in the light of these findings.
PATHOGENICITY OF VIBRIO ANGUILLARUM IN FISH
Creators: name: CHART, HENRIK
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1981

description: This dissertation. reports the first detailed study of the possible pathogenic mechanisms and virulence determinants of the fish pathogen V. anguillarum carried out in association with histo-pathological studies using electron microscopy and electrocardiography In addition, possible infection route (s) were investigated and the effect of environmental variables on pathogenesis examined. Pathogenicity was found to be species specific with strains which were avirulent in eels being highly virulent in grey mullet. Following injection of virulent bacteria into eels all tissues were rapidly colonised, death being characterised by severe haemorrhagic septicaemia. In contrast, avirulent strains were rapidly eliminated from the eel host to levels below detection. The heart was particularly affected during pathogenesis. Vibriosis was found to be temperature related, disease being retarded by low temperature. Pathogenic properties investigated included production of enzymes and haemolysins and examined in vitro phagocytosis and growth rates. Membrane proteins were extracted by various techniques and separated using SDS-polyacrylamide electrophoresis thereby elucidating interstrain variation in protein profile, most strains containing a major outer membrane protein thought to be a porin. Ultrastructural studies revealed some bacteria to have up to three polar flagella per cell, with multiflagellate forms only being observed in virulent strains. Analysis of plasmid DNA revealed a partial correlation between possession of a 47 megadalton plasmid and colistin resistance. Experimental vibriosis was characterised by deposition of haemosiderin in liver tissues, thought to be a poorly studied host defence mechanism, and large numbers of tissue bacteria surrounded by an electron lucent zone which was non-capsular in nature. Features of the disease included desquamation of the intestinal mucosa with excessive loss of ions into the gut lumen. The most likly route of infection was thought to be via the gut, as osmoregulatory processes provided a direct means for waterborne V. anguillarum to enter the gut, to which this bacterium was found to be particularly well adapted. Gut traversal was thought to be the precursor to a possible latent infection in the kidney.

description: Kyaro Assistive Technology is an NGO based in Arusha, Tanzania. They work to provide assistive devices to local communities by building wheelchairs, physical therapy devices, splints, walkers, etc. using local material and labor. Since 2023, they’ve distributed 1,331 assistive devices including 705 wheelchairs, 57 standing frames. 
We have been working with Kyaro Assistive Technology for the development and testing of a wheelchair off-road attachment designed to improve mobility over rough terrain while maintaining ergonomic efficiency. Our prototype features a lever-actuated system that enhances force transmission, enabling users to navigate inclines and uneven surfaces with reduced exertion. The attachment consists of a front-mounted freewheel, a chain-sprocket system transmitting power to the wheel, and an 18-inch lever arm, designed to provide a mechanical advantage greater than one, thereby amplifying the user's input force. The system is modular, with a “shish-kebab” (sequence of components on a single axle) assembly that allows for easy disassembly and component replacement, ensuring durability and manufacturability in resource-limited settings such as Tanzania.
To validate our design, we conducted force transmission testing using free weights and a force gauge, lever ergonomics testing with user surveys, and terrain testing on unpaved paths. Mechanical advantage testing revealed an average experimental mechanical advantage of 1.116, compared to an idealized value of 1.57, with sources of error attributed to alignment inconsistencies, attachment stability, and system efficiency losses. Ergonomic testing aimed to assess comfort and sustainability across different lever geometries. Terrain testing evaluated durability and component stability under real-world conditions. Our findings suggest that while the design effectively increases force transmission and provides an intuitive user experience, material improvements and assembly refinements are necessary to enhance reliability. 
The results of this study contribute to the development of cost-effective mobility solutions for individuals in challenging environments, offering insights into the optimization of assistive technologies for off-road wheelchair accessibility.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Mixed demersal/deep-water fishery from the Azores is a complex multifleet, multigear, multiarea and multispecies small scale fishery. Different vessels types using different hook and line gear configurations, operating in different discrete fishing areas (islands coasts/seamounts), targeting different species assemblages structured by depth and landing on average eight different commercial species by trip are the main fishery characteristics. The usual conflicts between large and small scale are observed at three dimension: a) Local level between regional fleets; b) Local level between regional and European Union fleets; c) International level through impacts on shared stocks. A spatial management zoning by vessel and gear type is in place on the Azores resulting in practice with longliners operating on the seamounts and hand lines in all area, mainly on the island coasts. In this study we resume the distribution of the species by depth and allocate the fisheries to species assemblage according the regional regulations in order to discuss fisheries management option in the context of the technological multispecies fishing on the discrete seamount ecosystem of the Azores.
