Investigation of novel screen-printed electrochemical sensors for measuring 17-βeta-Estradiol in an aqueous environment (2024)
Thesis

The hormone 17β-estradiol (E2) is increasingly prevalent in environmental waters globally, posing a significant threat to human and animal health due to its adverse effects on endocrine functions. Traditional methods of analysing E2 are complex and t... Read More about Investigation of novel screen-printed electrochemical sensors for measuring 17-βeta-Estradiol in an aqueous environment.

Studies on the pathogenesis of cacao swollen shoot virus to enhance the theobroma cacao l. Quarantine procedures with appendicies (2024)
Thesis

Theobroma cacao (cocoa) is an economically important crop and the source of one of the world’s most consumed products, chocolate; an industry valued at USD 103 billion per annum. Pests and diseases pose a major threat to cocoa production, affecting y... Read More about Studies on the pathogenesis of cacao swollen shoot virus to enhance the theobroma cacao l.

Investigating the in-situ production and processing of aquatic fluorescent organic matter by freshwater bacteria (2024)
Thesis

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is one of the largest reservoirs of carbon on the planet, and is ubiquitous throughout aquatic systems. It plays an essential role in global biogeochemical cycles and the transport and storage of carbon through the hydr...

Oral microbial diversity in health: An ethnic comparative study (2024)
Thesis

This work involved two key phases: an in-vitro study and a clinical trial (in-vivo) study. The in-vitro study compared the antimicrobial properties of an oral formulation containing 5% potassium nitrate and 0.24% sodium fluoride to 1% chlorohexidine...

The development of small-scale, low-cost biofilm treatment systems for the control of pathogens in fresh water (2023)
Thesis

Water that is contaminated with pathogenic microorganisms, can cause disease. Despite advances in the provision of safe drinking water, an estimated 580 million people lack consistent access to safe water whilst the consumption of biologically contam...

The taxonomic and genomic investigation of soil microorganisms associated with Acute Oak Decline (2023)
Thesis

Cases of the current episode of Acute Oak Decline (AOD) were first described in the UK in 2008 on native British oaks, but currently this disease is seen to affect most species of oak on a global scale. The disease has become a focus of forest resear... Read More about The taxonomic and genomic investigation of soil microorganisms associated with Acute Oak Decline.
