(2020)The necrotrophic fungal pathogen Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Ptr) causes the economically damaging tan spot disease of wheat. The project investigates the specialised metabolites (SMs) utilised by the pathogen for ...
-
(2020)This study aims to investigate the roles of process parameters especially pressure and the major components in the high-pressure reactive distillation of bio-oil. The bio-oil distillation fraction yields and properties ...
-
(2020)This project assessed how biofilm formation can aid the spoilage pseudomonads to withstand harsh environmental conditions of chilled storage. The cellular arrangements, the matrix composition and the gene expression profile ...
-
(2021)In this study the synthesis, photophysical properties, and potential biological applications of a range of platinum(II) complexes were investigated. A family of platinum(II) complexes bearing cyclometallated NHC ligands ...
-
(2020)The goal of this research project was to study the effects of environmental and genetic factors on biofilm formation of Campylobacter jejuni with the use of mathematical modelling, experimental and bioinformatics techniques. ...
-
(2019)Nature aggregates granular materials such as sand, silt and clay into form beach rocks, and other forms of microbialites. A common bio-geo-chemical cementation occurs due to the mineralization of calcium through bacterial ...
-
(2021)Current geopolymer formulation prescribes mixture proportions through bulk methods, considering both the inert and reactive composition of the mixture constituents. This is believe to be attributed to inconstancies in ...
-
(2020)This thesis introduces a state-of-the-art review of existing wireless power transfer (WPT) technologies with a detailed comparison and presents the limitations of the inductive power transfer system through simulation and ...
-
(2021)This project looked at 16 additives on the crystallisation of calcium oxalate in a synthetic urinary medium. The additives were assessed for their impact on size, shape and number of crystals formed. It was found that the ...
