Associations between MHC class I variation and blood pathogen prevalence in caracal by Ly, Alicia

“…Genes of the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) trigger the vertebrate adaptive immune response to pathogens through the recognition and presentation of foreign peptides, and thus provide an informative genetic marker for studying the adaptive potential of species with respect to disease. …”

Measuring the effects of reaction coordinate and electronic treatments in the QM/MM reaction dynamics of Trypanosoma cruzi trans-sialidase by Rogers, Ian Lloyd

“…The overarching aim of this thesis was to address theoretical and methodological challenges facing current methods for calculating reaction free energies in glycoenzyme systems. Tractable calculations balance chemical accuracy and sampling efficiency that necessitates simplification of these complex reaction spaces through quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics partitioning and use of a semi-empirical electronic method to sample an approximated reaction coordinate. …”

Resilience in disasters: a case study of an informal settlement in the Western Cape of South Africa by Onyeagoziri,Onyekachi John

“…In this study, disaster risk is viewed as a complex adaptive system. This view challenges simple cause and effect assumptions and recognises that components in a system are connected and interact in ways that cannot be predicted. …”
