'The captain of all these men of death' : aspects of the medical history of tuberculosis : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Public Health at Massey University, Manawatu, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2017
Current evidence suggests that some time in pre-history the ancestor of the modern tubercle bacillus evolved from a soil organism into a human pathogen. Since that time it has caused death and misery to millions of human beings by causing the infectious ...

Multilevel modelling of refusal and non-contact in household surveys: evidence from six UK Government surveys [PDF]

, 2009
We analyse household unit non-response in six major UK Government surveys by using a multilevel multinomial modelling approach. The models are guided by current conceptual frameworks and theories of survey participation.

Harnessing Non‐Covalent Protein–Protein Interaction Domains for Production of Biocatalytic Materials Systems

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Non‐covalent protein–protein interactions mediated by SH3, PDZ, or GBD domains enable the self‐assembly of stable and biocatalytically active hydrogel materials. These soft materials can be processed into monodisperse foams that, once dried, exhibit enhanced mechanical stability and activity and are easily integrated into microstructured flow ...
