Using in-situ sensors to quantify spatial variability in nutrient concentrations across the Ganges river basin (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

There is increasing interest in monitoring spatial variability in biogeochemical processes using field deployable sensors. Despite this, rigorous assessments of accuracy and optimal sensor configurations remain limited for such applications. We under...

Taking the pulse of Mother Ganga - Revealing the visible and invisible water pollution crisis along the Ganges River (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

It is probably hard to overestimate the significance of the River Ganges for its spiritual, cultural and religious importance. As the worlds’ most populated river basin and a major water resource for the 400 million people inhabiting its catchment, t...

Sediment and surface water microplastic contamination along the Ganges River, from the Himalayan foothills to the tidal reach downstream of Kolkata, India (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Twenty rivers have been estimated previously to account for almost 70% of global plastic emissions to the marine environment. Of these, the Ganges River was second only to the Yangtze River. Yet, scale and complexity of the Ganges River network make...

Biofilm management; Investigating the inhibitory effects of chlorine-based disinfectants on biofilms (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Summary of key findings
Direct disinfection of established Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms by electrochemically activated solutions [ECAS] exhibited significantly greater anti-biofilm activity compared to NaOCl and HOCl at free chlorine concentratio...

An in vitro collagen perfusion wound biofilm model; with applications for antimicrobial studies and microbial metabolomics (2019)
Journal Article

Background
The majority of in vitro studies of medically relevant biofilms involve the development of biofilm on an inanimate solid surface. However, infection in vivo consists of biofilm growth on, or suspended within, the semi-solid matrix of the...

Comparison of trihalomethane formation using chlorine-based disinfectants within a model system; Applications within point-of-use drinking water treatment (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 Clayton, Thorn and Reynolds. Point-of-use (POU) drinking water treatment systems provide solutions for communities where centralized facilities are unavailable. Effective POU systems treat and reduce the number of pathogens in POU water suppl...

CPX-351 exhibits hENT-independent uptake and can be potentiated by fludarabine in leukaemic cells lines and primary refractory AML (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 Elsevier Ltd CPX-351, a liposomal formulation co-encapsulating cytarabine and daunorubicin (DNR) in a synergistic 5:1 M ratio, has shown favourable response in newly diagnosed elderly high-risk AML. This study assessed intracellular ara-CTP le... Read More about CPX-351 exhibits hENT-independent uptake and can be potentiated by fludarabine in leukaemic cells lines and primary refractory AML.

Development of a novel off-grid drinking water production system integrating electrochemically activated solutions and ultrafiltration membranes (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 Elsevier Ltd Approximately 800 million people live without clean drinking water. Diarrhoea is responsible for between 1.7 and 2 million deaths each year (primarily children) which are the result of poor drinking water quality and sanitation. T...

In vitro discrimination of wound-associated bacteria by volatile compound profiling using selected ion flow tube-mass spectrometry (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 The Society for Applied Microbiology Aims: To determine if bacterial species responsible for clinically relevant wound infection produce specific volatile profiles that would allow their speciation. Methods and Results: Selected ion flow tube-... Read More about In vitro discrimination of wound-associated bacteria by volatile compound profiling using selected ion flow tube-mass spectrometry.

Dissolved organic carbon transformations and microbial community response to variations in recharge waters in a shallow carbonate aquifer (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016, The Author(s). In carbonate aquifers, dissolved organic carbon from the surface drives heterotrophic metabolism, generating CO2 in the subsurface. Although this has been a proposed mechanism for enhanced dissolution at the water table, respir...
