Hairy interfaces
… towards rationalizing the benefits gained from hairy textures through a combined experimental and theoretical approach. First, we are motivated by semi-aquatic mammals, who rely on fur for insulation underwater. This thesis investigates the mechanism of dynamic air entrainment for hairy surfaces …

Immunological markers in hairy-cell leukaemia
… discovery of a previously unrecognised marker in hairy-cell leukaemia (HCL), a receptor for IgM. The rosette method used to reveal this receptor, and the conditions affecting rosette formation are described. A kinetic study of this receptor is used to provide a measure of membrane turnover in HCL. …

Analysis of hairy-rod polyimides for photoalignment
… for the majority of the in-house synthesised hairy-rod polyimides (PIs). Oblique unpolarised UV irradiation of branched PIs results in pretilted LCs of 2 deg to 88 deg depending on chemical composition, processing history and fluence. The initial pretilted alignment collapsed to homogeneous …

A hairy predicament: The problem with long hair in the 1960s and 1970s
By the mid-1970s long hair worn by much of the American youth evoked little comment and indeed was considered fashionable. But during much of the previous two decades male hair length was a contentious issue that divided the generations. The struggle over hair in many ways epitomized the sixties …

Revealing the behavioural ecology of the elusive hairy-eared dwarf lemur (Allocebus trichotis)
In this study we followed hairy-eared dwarf lemurs (Allocebus trichotis), a small nocturnal strepsirrhine primate, using radio-tracking during a one year study. Our aim was to clarify the behavioural ecology of the species and in particular to determine habitat use, social organisation and seasonal …

Continuous living cover for the Upper Midwest: from hairy vetch nodules to the lanscape scale
… 2 exemplify the challenges specific to one crop, hairy vetch. Temperature constraints in the region limit the utility of hairy vetch as a cover crop relative to other regions of the U.S. However, with continued improvements in N accumulation, hairy vetch could improve soil N fertility with a much …

Bioreactor design for scaleup of Catharanthus roseus hairy root cultures for production of indole alkaloids
… indole alkaloids, vincristine and vinblastine. Hairy root cultures are an attractive alternative for the production of plant derived secondary metabolites. C. roseus hairy root cultures were established in our laboratory by A. rhizogenes mediated transformation of C. roseus seedlings prior to …

The imprint of scalar clouds around Kerr black holes: hairy solutions and weak cosmic censorship
… the Einstein equation which represents a scalar hairy Kerr black hole in asymptotically flat four dimensions - the first example of such black holes that does not violate energy conditions, discovered recently \cite{Herdeiro:2014goa,Chodosh:2015oma}. These scalar hairy black holes branch off from …

Transformation of Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense by Rhizobium rhizogenes: Hairy root induction and gossypol production
… for gossypol biosynthesis, a project to produce hairy root cultures from cotton was initiated. Hairy root cultures from two cotton species, Gossypium hirsutum (DPL 90) and Gossypium barbadense (Sea Island) were developed in this study. Gossypol was synthesized and retained by hairy root tissue at …

Investigation of the replacement of Margaret River hairy marron Cherax tenuimanus (Smith) by smooth marron C. cainii Austin
The Margaret River hairy marron, Cherax tenuimanus (Smith, 1912) (Decapoda: Parastacidae) is critically endangered due to the introduction of the widespread marron, C. cainii Austin, 2002. This project investigates the rapid replacement of C. tenuimanus with studies important to its conservation. …

Metabolic, biochemical and molecular profiling of Catharanthus roseus flower cultivars and transformed hairy roots for monoterpenoid indole alkaloid accumulation /
… bios}l1thesis in Catharanthus rosellS hairy root cultures have been performed by expressing the last step in vindoline biosynthesis [Dcacetylvindoline-4-0- acetyltransferase (DAT)]. Enzymatic profiling studies with transformed hairy roots have confirmed that over-expressing DAT leads to …

A Gobber Tooth, A Hairy Lip, A Squint Eye: Concepts of the Witch and the Body in Early Modern Europe
This thesis discusses early modern European perceptions of body and soul in association with the increasing stringency of civilized behaviour and state formation in an effort to provide motivation for the increased severity of the witch hunts of that time. Both secondary and primary sources have …

The impact of allelopathic winter rye (Secale cereale L.) and hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) residues on a vegetable cropping system
… Winter rye (Secale cereale L. cv. Wheeler) and hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth cv. Oregon Crown) were interseeded in the fall. The following spring, cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. Capitata L. cv. Bravo), tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. Market Pride) and snap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris …

Optimizing Weed Suppression Via Cover Crop and Herbicide Programs in the Mid-Atlantic
… of our first experiment was to determine if a hairy vetch (Vicia villosa R.) and cereal rye (Secale cereale L.) mixture, where the cereal rye was selectively terminated in March, performed better than a hairy vetch monoculture for biomass accumulation and weed suppression. Results indicated …

Rye and vetch intercrops for reducing corn in fertilizer requirements and providing ground cover in the Mid-Atlantic region
… advantages of growing mixtures of rye plus hairy vetch and hairy plus bigflower vetches. Plots were arranged in randomized complete blocks and the study conducted for two consecutive cover crop/corn sequences. I measured N yield of cover crops, their ground-covering ability, and their …
