Minimising infection risk of implantable titanium (2023)
Thesis
Britton, S. Minimising infection risk of implantable titanium. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/10791885

The use of antibacterial coatings on bone biomaterial has attracted interest from various fields such as orthopaedics, dentistry and veterinary medicine. However, the process of attaching suitable compounds to biomaterial surfaces in a stable manner... Read More about Minimising infection risk of implantable titanium.

Promoting access to haemostasis testing in resource-scarce and emergency settings using paper-based lateral flow diagnostic screening assays for coagulation disorders (2023)
Thesis
Saidykhan, J. Promoting access to haemostasis testing in resource-scarce and emergency settings using paper-based lateral flow diagnostic screening assays for coagulation disorders. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/10774108

Haemostatic disorders cause excessive bleeding and clotting and result in high morbidity and mortality worldwide, but especially in low-income areas which often lack suitable facilities and expertise for affordable diagnosis and treatment. Simple and... Read More about Promoting access to haemostasis testing in resource-scarce and emergency settings using paper-based lateral flow diagnostic screening assays for coagulation disorders.

Computer simulations of peptide nucleic acid under external force (2023)
Thesis
Goodman, J. Computer simulations of peptide nucleic acid under external force. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/10829665

The research question, “Can molecular dynamics be used to assess and screen the single-molecular binding properties of a candidate bioadhesive?" is answered in this thesis using molecular dynamics simulations. A ‘nearest-neighbour’ model was produced... Read More about Computer simulations of peptide nucleic acid under external force.

Exploring the interaction between online practices and offline domestic food practices in family homes: Implications for food waste reduction campaigns (2023)
Thesis
Ridgway, A. Exploring the interaction between online practices and offline domestic food practices in family homes: Implications for food waste reduction campaigns. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/10307861

Food waste is a significant problem in the food system, contributing to the environmental impact of food production and distribution as well as food inequality. In the UK and other high-income countries, a high proportion of the food waste in the foo...

The development of environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques for the detection and monitoring of the critically endangered European eel, Anguilla anguilla (2023)
Thesis
Weldon, L. The development of environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques for the detection and monitoring of the critically endangered European eel, Anguilla anguilla. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/9259727

The European eel Anguilla anguilla, is currently classified as critically endangered (IUCN Red List). In the UK the eel population is estimated at less than 5% of numbers observed in the 1980s and this trend is reflected throughout its European fresh...

Profiling the DNA damage response dynamics at sub-lethal and lethal temozolomide doses (2023)
Thesis
Visser, H. Profiling the DNA damage response dynamics at sub-lethal and lethal temozolomide doses. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/10014381

Confronted with DNA damage, cells can undergo cell cycle arrest and DNA repair, or cell death. However, communal DNA damage response (DDR) proteins involved in each of these cell fates, has confounded attempts to unravel the molecular nuances that dr...
