Benefits of realist evaluation for rapidly changing health service delivery (2022)
Journal Article
Realist evaluation is a methodology that addresses the questions: 'what works, for whom, in which circumstances, and how?'. In this approach, programme theories are developed and tested against available evidence. However, when complex interventions...

Eliminating transition state calculations for faster and more accurate reactivity prediction in Sulfa-Michael additions relevant to human health and the environment (2022)
Journal Article
Fast and accurate computational approaches to predicting reactivity in sulfa-Michael additions are required for high-throughput screening in toxicology (e.g., predicting excess aquatic toxicity and skin sensitization), chemical synthesis, covalent dr...

Brief intervention to reduce fatigue impact in patients with inflammatory arthritis: Design and outcomes of a single-arm feasibility study (2022)
Journal Article
OBJECTIVES: Patients with inflammatory arthritis report that fatigue is challenging to manage. We developed a manualised, one-to-one, cognitive-behavioural intervention, delivered by rheumatology health professionals (RHPs). The Fatigue - Reducing it...

The impact of hegemonic masculine ideals on self-esteem in prostate cancer patients undergoing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) compared to ADT-naïve patients (2022)
Journal Article
Purpose: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for Prostate Cancer (PCa) is associated with side effects that could lead to negative body image and low masculine self-esteem of survivors. We compared a group of PCa survivors following ADT with ADT-naïve...

Camera trapping and occupancy model as a tool for monitoring the carnivore’s guild in Wadi Wurayah Man and Biosphere Reserve (2022)
Thesis
Understanding species habitat relationships and their relative importance to the carnivore guild is fundamental to determining optimal conservation strategies and guiding long-term management efforts in a man and biosphere reserve. In this study, I u... Read More about Camera trapping and occupancy model as a tool for monitoring the carnivore’s guild in Wadi Wurayah Man and Biosphere Reserve.
The control of waterborne pathogenic bacteria in fresh water using a biologically active filter (2022)
Journal Article
The aim of this study was to investigate the control of three species of bacteria commonly associated with biologically contaminated water, using biofiltration. In this study, a laboratory-scale biofilter system was used to investigate the control of...

Evaluation of microbial viability and nucleic acid integrity after exposure to new molecular transport medium (Σ-MM™) (2022)
Report
A range of organisms (bacteria and yeasts) were inoculated into Sigma MMTM. The inoculum was then aliquoted into TSB broth at 1 minute and 2 minutes to assess for turbidity indicating growth over a 10 day period. A separate aliquot was also removed f...

A case study: The deployment of a novel in situ fluorimeter for monitoring biological contamination within the urban surface waters of Kolkata, India (2022)
Journal Article
The quality and health of many of our vital freshwater systems are poor. To tackle this with ever increasing pressures from anthropogenic and climatic changes, we must improve water quality monitoring and devise and implement more appropriate water q...

Workshop on viral genomics and taxonomy (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
How many of us have isolated and sequenced a phage, gotten reads back from the sequencing facility and thought "What now?" How can I assemble the data, and should I use an automated pipeline (DFAST, RASTtk, PHANOTATE) to annotate the genome, or shall... Read More about Workshop on viral genomics and taxonomy.
Commanding missions, making history (2022)

Voltammetric behaviour of Rhodamine B at a screen-printed Carbon electrode and its trace determination in environmental water samples (2022)
Journal Article
The voltammetric behaviour of Rhodamine B was studied at a screen‐printed carbon electrode (SPCE), by cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry. Cyclic voltammograms exhibited two reduction peaks (designated R1 and R2) generated from the reduction of...

Recent advances in the application of essential oils as potential therapeutic candidates for Candida-related infections (2022)
Journal Article
Candidiasis (oral, vulvovaginal, or systemic bloodstream infections) are important human fungal infections associated with a high global prevalence in otherwise healthy adults but are also opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients. With... Read More about Recent advances in the application of essential oils as potential therapeutic candidates for Candida-related infections.
Developing new chemical-based sensors for the detection of volatile compounds (2022)
Thesis
This research project aims to enhance the performance of a series of chemical-based sensor devices. In particular, metal oxide gas sensors. These materials are well known and primarily employed in several applications, thanks to their characteristic...
