(2021)Fungal plant-pathogens are a major contributor to crop yield loss. In this thesis we developed state of the art computational methods to predict molecular determinants of pathogen virulence. We have also performed the ...
-
(2021)This study investigated the accumulation of toxic heavy metals in native vegetation when grown on mine tailings and determined potential exposure pathways to animals and humans. Analytical chemistry techniques were employed ...
-
(2021)Melanoma cell adhesion molecule (MCAM) is a marker of melanoma metastasis and contributes to melanoma progression but how MCAM is sorted and recycled through the cell is unknown. Two putative endocytosis motifs have been ...
-
(2021)An investigation to optimise the use of poultry by-product meal as a protein replacement in crustacean diets by manipulating drying temperature and feed shape to maximise water stability and protein retention. A standardised ...
-
(2021)In recent years, studies have investigated the clinical importance of VitD levels in human fertility, but little is known about how VitD impacts women undergoing IVF or reproductive cells at the molecular level. This study ...
-
(2021)During his PhD work, Abouzar has developed a more computationally efficient approach using dynamic pore network model to improve the design and operation of liquid coalescing filters. The modeling technique was used to ...
-
(2021)This research investigates the performance of concrete incorporating marine sand, seawater, silicomanganese slag, fly ash and silica fume for application in marine environment. The effect of sulphate attack coupled with ...
-
(2021)Extreme work environments represent complex and challenging settings in which optimal performance is required rather than optional. This thesis advances knowledge of how demands and constraints within extreme work ...
-
(2021)The study explores how brands can differentiate from brand puffery through the use of brand genuinuity appeals to improve consumer perceptions and purchase intention. A scale measuring consumers’ attitudes towards the ...
-
(2021)Thermoelectric generation (TEG) has become a promising alternative energy whose source comes from abundant thermal. The conversion method is environmentally friendly, since it is based on a physical process allowing direct ...
