Integration of a vertical voluntary medical male circumcision program into routine health services in Zimbabwe: A solution for sustainable HIV prevention (2025)
Journal Article

The global health community has recognized the importance of integrating and sustaining health programs within national health systems rather than managing stand-alone ‘vertical’ interventions. Corresponding with these objectives, international aid d...

The utility of experiential water insecurity measures for monitoring and evaluating WASH programs: Case studies from Nepal and Sierra Leone (2025)
Journal Article

Progress toward safe water for all is predominantly tracked using directly observable, resource-based indicators, including primary water source and water collection travel time. There is growing interest in complementing these indicators with experi...

Comparing approaches to teaching patients how to use an app-based home spirometer: A randomised controlled trial (2025)
Journal Article

Background
Bluetooth enabled, app-based home spirometry has been validated for use in the diagnosis and monitoring of respiratory disease. Remote teaching (virtual or self-directed) offers the opportunity to deliver diagnostics safely and at scale....

Optimizing the substrate for hypercube-based neuroevolution of augmented topologies to design soft actuators (2025)
Journal Article

The characteristics of soft robots make them better candidates for applications such as healthcare, due to their enhanced safety, adaptability and more natural human-robot interaction compared to traditional counterparts. Different actuating systems... Read More about Optimizing the substrate for hypercube-based neuroevolution of augmented topologies to design soft actuators.

A novel system for automated continuous on-farm assessment of digital dermatitis using Artificial Intelligence (2025)
Journal Article

Digital dermatitis (DD) is a major cause of lameness in cattle, significantly affecting animal well-being and reducing productivity across the dairy industry. This paper introduces a novel system combining innovative hardware coupled with a two-stage...

A sucrose‐utilisation gene cluster contributes to colonisation of horse chestnut by pseudomonas syringae pv. aesculi (2025)
Journal Article

Pseudomonas syringae pathovar aesculi (E-Pae) causes bleeding canker disease in the woody tissue of European horse chestnut (HC). Comparative genomic analysis of E-Pae with a related leaf-infecting strain (I-Pae) and other P. syringae strains
identi... Read More about A sucrose‐utilisation gene cluster contributes to colonisation of horse chestnut by pseudomonas syringae pv. aesculi.

Development of low carbon concrete and a machine learning integrated model tool for predicting strength and embodied carbon for lightweight concrete production (2025)
Thesis

The use of Ground Granulated Blast-furnace Slag (GGBS) as an alternative cement replacement material has shown good results in producing near green concrete. While GGBS exhibits good cementitious properties, concerns regarding slow strength developme...
