The thyroid gland is found in the neck, below the thyroid cartilage (which forms the laryngeal prominence, or "Adam's apple"). The isthmus (the bridge between the two lobes of the thyroid) is located inferior to the cricoid cartilage. The thyroid gland controls how quickly the body uses energy, makes proteins, and controls how sensitive the body is to other hormones. It participates in these processes by producing thyroid hormones, the principal ones being triiodothyronine (T ) and thyroxine which can sometimes be referred to as tetraiodothyronine (T ). These hormones 3 4 regulate the rate of metabolism and affect the growth and rate of function of many other systems in the body. T and 3 T are synthesized from both iodine and tyrosine.

  • Agricultural Revolution'
    3 European farmers and the British 'agricultural revolution' James Simpson Indebted in great part to Arthur Young, the traditional view of European agriculture over the long eighteenth century sees rapid technological and institutional changes taking place in England, but stagnation on the con­ tinent. Both these views have been challenged over the past decade or two. Today the concept of an 'agricultural revolution' in England is rejected by some historians, and others have questioned the contribution to pro­ ductivity growth of the well-known technical and institutional changes that took place. Likewise most French historians now reject the idea of a 'societe immobile' and argue that if change was slow, there were usually good economic reasons to continue using traditional farming systems and technology. Despite this change of emphasis, even the most revisionist historians have not challenged the idea that a significant productivity gap existed between Britain and other leading European economies in 1815.1 This paper tries to suggest a few reasons why this gap existed. The first section examines briefly the recent literature on long-run agrarian change in several European countries. I argue that incentives for investment in British agriculture were considerably more favourable than in most other countries in the period 1650 and 1750. The rest of the paper considers a number of areas where British agriculture developed along different lines to that of two major European economies, namely France and Spain. Section 2 looks at livestock specialisation, section 3 at the opportunities for labour-intensive farming during this period of population growth, and section 4 the restrictions to changes in land use because of the nature of property ownership.

By Melanie R Ramasawmy BA, BSc, MSc A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of PhD Department of Life Sciences University of Roehampton 2017 i Abstract The Amharic proverb ‘Chickens dream only of grain’ could easily describe our own lack of imagination when thinking about poultry. In the sectors of agriculture and development, there is growing recognition of how chickens could be used in poverty alleviation, as a source of income and protein, and a means of gender empowerment. However, interventions do not always achieve their goals, due to a lack of understanding of the local context in which chickens will be consumed.

I am grateful for the provision of the harbour vessel Two Castles with her crew that allowed us to collect slipper limpet stocks for this study. On the ground, information from the oystermen of the fishery has proved invaluable with appreciated input from Tim Vinnicombe, Frank Vinnicombe, Jon Bailey, Colin Frost, Dennis Laity and Mike Parsons. Martin Laity’s input with the extraction trial using the winkle sorter was particularly useful as was Sam Laity’s assistance with the translation of the French report. Potential partners for a trial to implement the study findings are thanked for their assistance to date and indications of future input. Representatives and companies include: -Malcolm Gilbert (Ammodytes of St Ives) -Nigel Ellis (Cornish Cuisine of Penryn) -Peter Tierney (Ciamar of Falmouth) -Rob Furse (Contac of St Austell) -Sam Evans (Kildavanan Seafoods of Fleetwood) Many thanks to Gary Cooper and Colin Bates from Port of Falmouth Health Authority for the microbiological examination of the slipper limpet samples.

Every year millions of visitors fl ock to the region’s shores to feel the sand between their toes and paddle in the briny blue, and with over 650 miles of coastline and cliff tops to explore, not to mention some of England’s greenest, grandest countryside, it’s not really surprising. But while the stirring scenery is undoubtedly one of the main attractions, there’s much more to this region than just shimmering sands and grandstand views. After decades of economic underinvestment and industrial decline, things are really changing out west. Run-down harbours JURASSIC COAST are being renovated. Celebrity chefs are setting NEIL SETCHFIELD up shop along the coastline. Old fi shing harbours, derelict mining towns and faded seaside resorts are reinventing themselves as cultural centres, artistic havens and gastronomic hubs.

  • Lands of Red and Gold #0: Prologue
    Lands of Red and Gold #0: Prologue February 1310 Tasman Sea, offshore from Kiama, Australia Blue sky above, blue water below, in seemingly endless expanse. Dots of white clouds appeared on occasions, but they quickly faded into the distance. Only one double-hulled canoe with rippling sail cut a path through the blue emptiness. So it had gone on, day after day, seemingly without end. Kawiti of the Tangata [People] would very much have preferred not to be here. The four other men on the canoe were reliable enough travelling companions, so far as such things went. Yet being cramped on even the largest canoe made for too much frustration, and this was far from the largest of canoes. Only a fool would send out a large canoe without first exploring the path with a smaller vessel to find out what land could be discovered. Of course, only a fool would want to send out exploration canoes at all, so far as he could tell. The arts of long-distance navigation were fading back on Te Ika a Maui [North Island, New Zealand]. That was all to the good, so far as Kawiti was concerned. Why risk death on long sea voyages to find some new fly-speck of an island, when they had already discovered something much greater? Te Ika a Maui was a land a thousand or more times the size of their forefathers’ home on Hawaiki, and further south lay an island even greater in size. Their new lands were vast in expanse, and teemed with life on the earth, in the skies above, and in the encircling seas.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ANGLO-SAXON FOOD: PROCESSING & CONSUMPTION ABSTRACT This synthesizing study brings together for the first time information from various primary and secondary sources in order to build up a composite picture of food processing and consumption during the Anglo-Saxon period. The period covered is the six centuries from the beginning of the fifth century to c.1100. The area covered is Anglo-Saxon England, with reference to the Celtic west. Occasionally reference is made to continental sites for archaeological evidence to verify points in the literary sources, when, by the accidents of (non) recovery, such evidence is unknown in the archaeological record here. The primary source material is of two kinds: literary and archaeological. Material in Anglo-Saxon manuscripts in the vernacular has been supplemented on occasion by that in Latin manuscripts. There was no pre-selection of manuscripts, and references to food come from all types of writings: legal, religious, literary and medical.
