Designing enriched aesthetic interaction for garment comfort Jeon, Eun Jeong This thesis describes a research through design approach to identifying comfort factors within the kinaesthetic experiences of human sensory activities and perceptions. The research explores the experience of women through the way they touch, move and feel when interacting with wool garments. The research provides (1) a body of creative work, (2) a framework of ‘enriched aesthetic interaction’ and (3) the development of design principles for the comfort and related aesthetic qualities of clothing.

Evaluation of Novel Resveratrol Conjugate and Nanoparticle Formulations for Enhanced Anticancer Activity Yee, Yan Jing Resveratrol is known to undergo rapid metabolism and degradation in vivo. The aim of this project is to synthesise polymeric resveratrol conjugates for formulation into nanoparticles for enhanced anticancer treatment by decreasing the metabolism and degradation rate of resveratrol in vivo. Conjugated resveratrol nanoparticles were found to suppress tumour growth in vivo in a melanoma mouse model although in vitro data shows lesser anti-proliferative effect than resveratrol alone.

Investigations into Effect of By-product Binders in Improvement of Cyclic Behaviour of Soil Keramatikerman, Mahdi This thesis investigates the effect of two by-product binders consisted of ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS), and flyash (FA) on liquefaction resistance of soil by performing a comprehensive series of preliminary and core experimental studies. Also, a series of constitutive analysis have been performed based on the experimental studies to approximate the correlations of soil’s particle shape and binder contents with monotonic liquefaction. The results showed that they can improve liquefaction strength of soil.

Biomining of Rare Earth Elements from Phosphate Ores and Minerals Fathollahzadeh, Homayoun Rare earth elements (REEs) are important for establishing a technology based society, however are difficult to process. The use of biomining for the extraction of REEs minerals offers a benign alternative to conventional hydrometallurgical routes with more selective solubilisation of REEs over radionuclides. The use of phosphate solubilising microorganisms in the bioleaching of REEs was investigated to gain a better understanding of the leaching behaviour of individual REEs and the mechanism attributed to their mobilisation.
