Vesicle computers: Approximating a Voronoi diagram using Voronoi automata (2011)
Journal Article

Irregular arrangements of vesicles filled with excitable and precipitating chemical systems are imitated by Voronoi automata - finite-state machines defined on a planar Voronoi diagram. Every Voronoi cell takes four states: resting, excited, refracto... Read More about Vesicle computers: Approximating a Voronoi diagram using Voronoi automata.

Guidelines for monitoring the success of peatland restoration (2011)
Report

The aim of this guidance is to provide information to enable peatland restoration projects to develop appropriate monitoring programmes. Degraded peatlands are restored for a wide range of reasons. Restoration objectives can include protecting and en... Read More about Guidelines for monitoring the success of peatland restoration.

Double-diffusive penetrative convection simulated via internal heating in an anisotropic porous layer with throughflow (2011)
Journal Article

A model for double-diffusive convection in an anisotropic porous layer with a constant throughflow is explored, with penetrative convection being simulated via an internal heat source. Both linear instability and nonlinear stability analyses are perf...

Penetrative convection in anisotropic porous media with variable permeability (2011)
Journal Article

The onset of penetrative convection in an anisotropic porous medium, for fluids with quadratic density law, is studied. In particular, the effects of anisotropic permeability and thermal diffusivity have been taken into account. © 2010 Springer-Verla...

Effects of four commercially available factor Xa proteins on the fluorogenic anti-factor Xa assay when monitoring unfractionated heparin (2012)
Journal Article

Four commercially available factor Xa (FXa) reagents were evaluated in a fluorogenic anti-FXa assay. The four reagents - of which three were of human origin and the fourth was bovine - were compared in terms of the resulting assay dynamic ranges, lag...

Evaluation of activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) reagents for application in biomedical diagnostic device development (2011)
Journal Article

Introduction: The most commonly used test for monitoring heparin therapy is the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT). The response of available aPTT reagents to heparin varies significantly. The aim of this study was to highlight the differen...

Fluorescence-based blood coagulation assay device for measuring activated partial thromboplastin time (2011)
Journal Article

The measurement of blood clotting time is important in a range of clinical applications such as assessing coagulation disorders and controlling the effect of various anticoagulant drug therapies. Clotting time tests essentially measure the onset of c... Read More about Fluorescence-based blood coagulation assay device for measuring activated partial thromboplastin time.

Development of an amperometric, screen-printed, single-enzyme phosphate ion biosensor and its application to the analysis of biomedical and environmental samples (2011)
Journal Article

An amperometric phosphate biosensor, based on a cobalt phthalocyanine screen-printed carbon electrode (CoPC-SPCE) is described. The immobilisation of the enzyme pyruvate oxidase (PyOd) was investigated using pre-formed cellulose acetate/cellulose nit...

Enhanced electrochemical reduction of hydrogen peroxide at surfactant/salt modified electrodes (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is widely used in many biological systems and industrial processes in the textile, food, pharmaceutical and clinical sectors. The importance of hydrogen peroxide is related to its unique oxidising properties as well as decomp...

Microbial fuel cells: Scalability and their use in robotics (2011)
Book Chapter

This is probably the first written and relatively accurate description of microorganisms, made by the Roman scholar Marcus Terentius Varro (116-27 B.C.). It was then Anthony van Leeuwenhoek (ca. 1677) who, for the first time, observed little animals... Read More about Microbial fuel cells: Scalability and their use in robotics.

Comparison of a fluorogenic anti-FXa assay with a central laboratory chromogenic anti-FXa assay for measuring LMWH activity in patient plasmas (2011)
Journal Article

Introduction: Low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs) are used worldwide for the treatment and prophylaxis of thromboembolic disorders. Routine laboratory tests are not required due to the predictable pharmacokinetics of LMWHs, with the exception of pr...
