The effect of temperature on the fluorescence of DOM (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

It is understood that all fluorescence analyses essentially observes the fluorescence of a given sample in a 'quenched state'. Even so, detailed literature concerning the effects of lower temperatures (below 4 degrees Celsius) is surprisingly sparse.... Read More about The effect of temperature on the fluorescence of DOM.

Volatile organic compounds as diagnostic biomarkers in gastrointestinal and liver diseases (2009)
Journal Article

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...

Evaluation of paramagnetic particles for use in a resonant coil magnetometer based magneto-immunoassay (2009)
Journal Article

This paper describes work that formed a part of an investigation to increase the detection sensitivity of a magneto-immunoassay. The study involved the characterisation of paramagnetic particles (PMPs) from a range of manufacturers in order to determ...

Spot test: new technologies bring point-of-care testing into the 21st century (2009)
Journal Article

Every new technology offers the potential to effect changes in practise; many developments driven by the world-wide demand for instant results. This is never as true as in the arena of diagnostic testing. Once the sole preserve of the hospital labo...

A pilot study of faecal volatile organic compounds in faeces from cholera patients in Bangladesh to determine their utility in disease diagnosis (2009)
Journal Article

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...

Changes in freshwater organic matter fluorescence intensity with freezing/thawing and dehydration/rehydration (2009)
Journal Article

The effects of photodegradation and biodegradation upon aquatic organic matter lability have been extensively researched in all aquatic systems because of the impact of these. processes upon carbon cycling, with most studies undertaken on the dissolv...

Hilbert huang transform impedance measurement data for cellular toxicity monitoring (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper investigates the Hilbert-Huang transformation (HHT), which is adaptive analysis of nonlinear and non-stationary signals. The aim of this study is to apply HHT to impedance measurement data analysis in order to discriminate different types...
