Development of a Caenorhabditis elegans model for the assessment of toxicity and its application in testing novel anthelmintics. (2017)
Thesis
Oluwadare, E. Development of a Caenorhabditis elegans model for the assessment of toxicity and its application in testing novel anthelmintics. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/1036075

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is an alternative model used in biomedical research for the investigation of descriptive and mechanistic toxicity assessment of chemicals. There are considerable differences in published data, especially in terms o...

Disastrous performance of NanoCote/Aqua Based antimicrobial paint in a hospital setting (2016)
Journal Article
Ramsden, J., Reid, M., Whatley, V., & Dancer, S. (2016). Disastrous performance of NanoCote/Aqua Based antimicrobial paint in a hospital setting. Journal of Biological Physics and Chemistry, 16(3), 131-136. https://doi.org/10.4024/16ra16a.jbpc.16.03

Attempts are being made to incorporate copper into clear varnish in order to coat environmental surfaces in hospitals with the long-term goal of reducing healthcare-acquired infections (HAI). The performance of a nanocopper-containing polyacrylic emu... Read More about Disastrous performance of NanoCote/Aqua Based antimicrobial paint in a hospital setting.

network at low concentrations that can be identified... Read More about Aqueous solutions of HEC and hmHEC: effects of molecular mass versus hydrophobic associations on hydrodynamic and thermodynamic parameters..

Thermochromic dyes and sunlight activating systems - An alternative means to induce colour change. (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ledendal, M., Christie, R. M., & Vettese-Forster, S. (2013, July). Thermochromic dyes and sunlight activating systems - An alternative means to induce colour change. Presented at AIC Colour 2013 ’Bringing Colour to Life’ Congress,

The general purpose of this work is to investigate the potential of a mobile phone to capture soil colour images and process them, returning the corresponding Munsell colour coordi- nates from the digital RGB captured images, and also estimate the tr...

Composite four-component Ni–W–P–ZrO2 coatings were electrolessly deposited from a bath with different concentrations of aminoacetic acid (glycine—the complexing agent), sodium tungstate(VI) and zirconium(IV) oxide at different pH values. Concentratio... Read More about The effect of suspension bath composition on the composition, topography and structure of electrolessly deposited composite four-component Ni–W–P–ZrO2 coatings.

The use of ozone in the remediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon contaminated soil. (2005)
Journal Article

The potential of using ozone for the removal of phenanthrene from several different soils, both alone and in combination with biodegradation using a microbial inoculant (Pseudomonas alcaligenes PA-10), was examined. The greater the water content of t... Read More about The use of ozone in the remediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon contaminated soil..

Generation of “Neoheparin” from E. coli K5 Capsular Polysaccharide (2004)
Journal Article
Lindahl, U., Li, J.-P., Kusche-Gullberg, M., Salmivirta, M., Alaranta, S., Veromaa, T., Emeis, J., Roberts, I., Taylor, C., Oreste, P., Zoppetti, G., Naggi, A., Torri, G., & Casu, B. (2005). Generation of “Neoheparin” from E. coli K5 Capsular Polysaccharide. Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 48(2), 349-352. https://doi.org/10.1021/jm049812m

Heparin remains a major drug in prevention of thromboembolic disease. Concerns related to its animal source have prompted search for heparin analogues. The anticoagulant activity of heparin depends on a specific pentasaccharide sequence that binds a... Read More about Generation of “Neoheparin” from E. coli K5 Capsular Polysaccharide.

Multi-dimension modelling techniques for reciprocal space of NMR imaging (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Soufian, M., & Soufian, M. (1998, September). Multi-dimension modelling techniques for reciprocal space of NMR imaging. Presented at UKACC International Conference on Control 98

In this paper the application of multidimensional modelling techniques to a reciprocal space components of a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging system is considered. These include a 2-dimensional input/output autoregressive moving average (ARMA... Read More about Multi-dimension modelling techniques for reciprocal space of NMR imaging.
