Metamaterial biosensor for cancer detection (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
La Spada, L., Bilotti, F., & Vegni, L. (2011, October). Metamaterial biosensor for cancer detection. Presented at 2011 IEEE Sensors, Limerick, Ireland

In this study a low-cost, compact, and high-performing metamaterial-based biosensor operating in the GHz regime is presented. The sensor is designed to detect the presence of a tumor by means of permittivity and absorption measurements. A shift in th... Read More about Metamaterial biosensor for cancer detection.

Ray-Trace Modelling of a Combined Up-Convertor: Luminescent Solar Concentrator (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerrouche, A., Hardy, D., Ivaturi, A., MacDougall, S., Roaf, S., & Richards, B. (2012, September). Ray-Trace Modelling of a Combined Up-Convertor: Luminescent Solar Concentrator. Presented at 27th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition, Frankfurt, Germany

An advanced up-converter (UC) luminescent concentrator model is investigated in this research. The model combines photon management with nanotechnology-based, luminescent materials, to increase the efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) solar cells. The con...

An exploration of palliative care provision in Scottish care homes (2012)
Journal Article
Reid, L., Snowden, A., & Kydd, A. (2012). An exploration of palliative care provision in Scottish care homes. British Journal of Nursing, 21(1), 8-15. https://doi.org/10.12968/bjon.2012.21.1.8

This paper suggests that there is an imbalance between the ideal and the actual palliative care provision for some older people living and dying in care homes in Scotland. Successive studies demonstrate that care home residents are increasingly frail... Read More about An exploration of palliative care provision in Scottish care homes.

Thematic elements underlying the delivery of services in high-contact public service encounters (2012)

Earlier research alludes to the fact that enhanced information and systems (IS/IT) functionalities coupled with a lower degree of interaction with customers, the so-called zero- touch, real- time, self-service enhance services engagement. In this art... Read More about Thematic elements underlying the delivery of services in high-contact public service encounters.

Enhancement of life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology to include the effect of surface albedo on climate change: Comparing black and white roofs (2012)
Journal Article

Traditionally, life cycle assessment (LCA) does not estimate a key property: surface albedo. Here an enhancement of the LCA methodology has been proposed through the development and employment of a time-dependent climatological model for including th...
