An oscillating hot wire for measurements in separated flows
… interest. An oscillating-arm assembly provides a directional bias to the hot-wire probe, and a linear-step assembly steps the probe through the boundary layer. These assemblies are mounted to a positioning plate which allows profiles to be taken at a discrete number of chord locations. Data …

Effects of interstitial flow on tumor cell migration
… that provide the migratory stimulus and the directional stimulus to migrating breast cancer cells in the presence of a flow field. We found that cells migrated along streamlines in the presence of flow and that the strength of the flow field determined directional bias of migration along the …

A data mining study of g-quadruplexes and their effect on DNA replication
… G-quadruplexes. Further, there is evidence of a directional bias in the extent of error, seen as an asymmetry in the incidence of single nucleotide polymorphisms on either side of quadruplexes. Taken together, the evidence favors the hypothesis that G-quadruplexes have a deleterious effect on the …

Directional image representations using nonseparable lifting
… This thesis demonstrates a method to create a directional image representation with compact spatial support which is not limited to a single dimension. Within the lifting framework of perfect reconstruction filter banks, sparse representation requires prediction filters able to adapt to the …

DROSOPHILA CLASS-I MYOSINS THAT CAN IMPACT LEFT-RIGHT ASYMMETRY HAVE DISTINCT ATPASE KINETICS
… proteins show that the motor domain dictates the directionality. Interestingly, only myo1D glides actin filaments in a directional bias via in vitro gliding assays on a supported lipid bilayer. Despite myo1C’s lack of directionality at a protein level, there must be an intrinsic property in its …

Microfluidic Methods for Investigating Cell Migration and Cell Mechanics
… undergo a ’decision-making’ process leading to a directional bias. Although the biophysical mechanism underlying this response is yet to be understood, the data shown in this thesis suggest that Dictyostelium cells respond to differences in local concentrations of chemoattractants. The speed of a …

Are you coming on to me? Accuracy and bias in couples' perceptions of sexual advances
… behaviours, whether this tracking accuracy and bias were moderated by individual differences, and whether tracking accuracy and bias predicted relational outcomes. Results revealed strong evidence for tracking accuracy, and mixed results for bias. In addition, there was strong evidence that …

The effect of vertically- and horizontally-directed plyometric exercise on sprint running performance
… exercise with vertically versus horizontally biased ground force application, on 40-m sprint running time, vertical jumping height, body composition and gastrocnemius medialis (GM) muscle architecture. Male (n = 19) and female (n = 20) recreational athletes were recruited and stratified …
