Journal Article
Probert, C. S., Garner, C. E., Smith, S., Bardhan, P. K., & Ratcliffe, N. M. (2009). A pilot study of faecal volatile organic compounds in faeces from cholera patients in Bangladesh to determine their utility in disease diagnosis. Transactions of The Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 103(11), 1171-1173. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trstmh.2009.02.004

The aim of this pilot study was to analyse the volatile organic compounds in faecal samples collected from cholera patients in Bangladesh to determine biomarkers that could be used for disease diagnosis. Samples were collected from patients at the In...

Volatile organic compounds as diagnostic biomarkers in gastrointestinal and liver diseases (2009)
Journal Article
Probert, C. S. J., Khalid, T., Ahmed, I., Johnson, E., Smith, S., & Ratcliffe, N. M. (2009). Volatile organic compounds as diagnostic biomarkers in gastrointestinal and liver diseases. Journal of Gastrointestinal and Liver Diseases, 18(3), 337-343

The assessment of disease activity in various conditions may be performed using a range of different techniques. These include the use of non-invasive tests, such as acute phase inflammatory markers and simple radiological techniques, to more advance...

Chemical tessellations (2009)
Journal Article
de Lacy Costello, B., Jahan, I., Adamatzky, A., & Ratcliffe, N. M. (2009). Chemical tessellations. International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, 19(2), 619-622. https://doi.org/10.1142/S0218127409023238

We report a simple set of chemical reactions based on the reaction of a range of metal salts with potassium ferricyanide loaded gels that spontaneously produce complex and colorful tessellations of the plane. These reactions provide a great resource... Read More about Chemical tessellations.

Fine control and selection of travelling waves in Inorganic Pattern Forming Reactions (2009)
Journal Article
de Lacy Costello, B., Jahan, I., Ratcliffe, N. M., & Armstrong, J. (2009). Fine control and selection of travelling waves in Inorganic Pattern Forming Reactions. International Journal of Nanotechnology and Molecular Computation, 1(3), 26-36. https://doi.org/10.4018/jnmc.2009070103

Under normal reaction conditions [AlCl3 0.28-0.34M and NaOH 2.5M A.Volford et al.] spontaneous spiral and circular travelling precipitate waves were observed. We constructed a phase diagram for the reaction and identified a large controllable region... Read More about Fine control and selection of travelling waves in Inorganic Pattern Forming Reactions.
