Conductive composites for oligonucleotide detection (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 The Authors A new method for oligonucleotide detection is presented based on oligonucleotide cross-linked polymer composites. Conductive carbon nanoparticles are incorporated into a DNA-functionalised polymer, containing partially complementar... Read More about Conductive composites for oligonucleotide detection.

Local experiences of neighbourhood planning (2017)
Thesis

The Coalition Government introduced the Localism Act 2011 as part of a wider reformation of the planning system. The Act introduced a range of measures including neighbourhood plans, which were designed to empower local people by enabling them to cre...

An investigation into common challenges of 3D scene understanding in visual surveillance (2017)
Thesis

Nowadays, video surveillance systems are ubiquitous. Most installations simply consist of CCTV cameras connected to a central control room and rely on human operators to interpret what they see on the screen in order to, for example, detect a crime (...

Glycyrrhiza glabra extract and quercetin reverses cisplatin resistance in triple-negative MDA-MB-468 breast cancer cells via inhibition of cytochrome P450 1B1 enzyme (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 Elsevier Ltd The development of multi-drug resistance to existing anticancer drugs is one of the major challenges in cancer treatment. The over-expression of cytochrome P450 1B1 enzyme has been reported to cause resistance to cisplatin. With a...

(E)-3-(3,4,5-Trimethoxyphenyl)-1-(pyridin-4-yl)prop-2-en-1-one, a heterocyclic chalcone is a potent and selective CYP1A1 inhibitor and cancer chemopreventive agent (2017)
Journal Article

The overexpression of CYP1 family of enzymes is reported to be associated with development of human carcinomas. It has been well reported that CYP1A1 specific inhibitors prevents carcinogenesis. Herein, thirteen pyridine-4-yl series of chalcones were...

Offline and real time noise reduction in speech signals using the discrete wavelet packet decomposition (2017)
Thesis

This thesis describes the development of an offline and real time wavelet based speech enhancement system to process speech corrupted with various amounts of white Gaussian noise and other different noise types.

Exploring urban metabolism—Towards an interdisciplinary perspective (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 The Author(s) The discussion on urban metabolism has been long dominated by natural scientists focussing on natural forces shaping the energy and material flows in urban systems. However, in the anthropocene human forces such as industrializat... Read More about Exploring urban metabolism—Towards an interdisciplinary perspective.

Experimental and analytical investigations of brick masonry under compressive fatigue loading (2017)
Thesis

About 40% of bridges in European transport network are masonry arch bridges (most built over 100 years ago) and are being subjected to increasing loading regimes. Assessment of the long-term fatigue capacity of masonry bridges is necessary to ensure...

A web-based Decision Support System (DSS) to assist SMEs to broker risks and rewards for BIM adoption (2017)
Thesis

Building Information Modelling (BIM) usage in the UK’s construction industry has recorded a significant increase over the last few years. However, available evidence suggests that BIM adoption amongst larger construction firms and innovators seems be...
