Background: Allegations of serious failures in infection control practice were made against a dentist practicing in the South West of England. The dentist (who tested negative for Blood Borne Viruses (BBVs)) was immediately suspended. Methods: Becaus...

Exploring the implications of changing patterns of rubella immunity in antenatal women in a South Wales valley community (2013)
Thesis
Matthews, L. A. Exploring the implications of changing patterns of rubella immunity in antenatal women in a South Wales valley community. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/926313

Abstract Background/Aims: Rubella can be devastating to a foetus if maternally acquired in early pregnancy. A single rubella vaccine (SRV), given to prepubertal girls was replaced by the MMR immunisation in infancy for both sexes in 1988. Women born...

Isolation of human genomic DNA for genetic analysis from premature neonates: A comparison between newborn dried blood spots, whole blood and umbilical cord tissue (2013)
Journal Article
Váradi, A., Molnár, E., Rajatileka, S., Luyt, K., El-Bokle, M., Williams, M., …Varadi, A. (2013). Isolation of human genomic DNA for genetic analysis from premature neonates: A comparison between newborn dried blood spots, whole blood and umbilical cord tissue. BMC Genetics, 14(105), https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2156-14-105

Background: Genotyping requires biological sample collection that must be reliable, convenient and acceptable for patients and clinicians. Finding the most optimal procedure of sample collection for premature neonates who have a very limited blood vo...

The normal development and function of photoreceptors is essential for eye health and visual acuity in vertebrates. Mutations in genes encoding proteins involved in photoreceptor development and function are associated with a suite of inherited retin...

Comparative assessment of the ELBA coarse-grained model for water (2013)
Journal Article
Orsi, M. (2014). Comparative assessment of the ELBA coarse-grained model for water. Molecular Physics, 112(11), 1566-1576. https://doi.org/10.1080/00268976.2013.844373

The ELBA force field for water consists of a single spherical site embedded with a point dipole. This coarse-grained model is assessed here through the calculation of fundamental properties of bulk liquid water and the water-vapour interface. Accurac...

Stabilising solar ponds by utilising porous materials (2013)
Journal Article
Hill, A. A., Hill, A. A., & Carr, M. (2013). Stabilising solar ponds by utilising porous materials. Advances in Water Resources, 60, 1-6. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.advwatres.2013.07.005

The linear instability of a solar pond containing porous material in the lower convective zone (LCZ) is investigated. It is found that, in general, for physically realistic values, solar ponds that contain porous material are more stable than ones th...
