S/N/26. Dissertation. Evaluate farmer's knowledge on the common agricultural policy and responses to the changes in the Peak District

WORDS:
11000
DATE:
2005
PRICE:
119.99 GBP

The starting point of this research study is to look at the common agricultural policy (CAP) reforms agreed in June 2003, the impact on farms in the UK is likely to be significant, with negative impacts on farm incomes expected for the dairy sector. The study area focuses on farms in the Peak district and looks at in particular the levels of understanding, awareness and perceived impact on income of the CAP reforms. A telephone questionnaire was used to assess these impacts, with a total sample of 24. The study also reviews the major reports on the potential impacts of the CAP reforms from the House of Commons, DEFRA, the peak district national park authority and opinions have been collected from a range of specialists in this area of research. The literature highlights the highlights the significance of the CAP reforms and their potential impact on the environment and on farmers. The research findings showed that dairy farms appear to have the highest levels of awareness and understanding of the CAP reforms but their perceived impact on income is negative. Generally levels of awareness was high for all farm types in the study area, however levels of understanding of CAP reforms is low for the whole study area with the exception of dairy farms.

S/N/39. Final Project. Predicting Coiled Coils from Protein Sequence

WORDS:
9800
DATE:
2005
PRICE:
99.99 GBP

Coiled coils are arguably the simplest protein-structure motif, consisting of two or more intertwined-helices to form Supercoils with a distinct, regular sequence pattern known as the heptad repeat. Despite this apparent simplicity, coiled coils display a considerable degree of diversity at the structural level. Many computational prediction methods for this protein motif have been developed, reporting varying degrees of success. Here, I attempt to introduce an alternative prediction algorithm which doesn’t focus on amino acid sequence profiles like current algorithms, but instead looks at signals of correlated mutations at the interaction sites between the helices.

 

KEYWORDS: Coiled Coils, Protein Sequence,
