Assessment of physicochemical parameters in groundwater quality of desert area (Tharparkar) of Pakistan
(Elsevier, 2022-07-08)In Tharparkar desert, the main source of water supply is groundwater. Water for domestic use is normally collected from open dug wells. For this study, twenty-five groundwater samples were collected from the open dug well ... -
Assessment of the nano-mechanical properties of healthy and atherosclerotic coronary arteries by atomic force microscopy.
(Royal Society, 2024-02)Nano-indentation techniques might be better equipped to assess the heterogeneous material properties of plaques than macroscopic methods but there are no bespoke protocols for this kind of material testing for coronary ... -
Atherosclerotic Plaque Stability Is Affected by the Chemokine CXCL10 in Both Mice and Humans.
(Hindawi, 2011)Background. The chemokine CXCL10 is specifically upregulated during experimental development of plaque with an unstable phenotype. In this study we evaluated the functional consequences of these findings in mice and humans. ... -
Atrial CARdiac Magnetic resonance imaging in patients with embolic stroke of unknown source without documented Atrial Fibrillation (CARM-AF): Study design and clinical protocol.
(2022-04)BACKGROUND: Initiation of anticoagulation therapy in ischemic stroke patients is contingent on a clinical diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AF). Results from previous studies suggest thromboembolic risk may predate clinical ... -
Atrial conduction velocity mapping: clinical tools, algorithms and approaches for understanding the arrhythmogenic substrate
(Springer Nature, 2022)Characterizing patient-specific atrial conduction properties is important for understanding arrhythmia drivers, for predicting potential arrhythmia pathways, and for personalising treatment approaches. One metric that ... -
Atrial tissue characterisation using electroanatomic voltage mapping and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging

Augmented Leaching Pretreatments for Forest Wood Waste and Their Effect on Ash Composition and the Lignocellulosic Network
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2020-03)By augmenting conventional leaching technologies for the removal of ash constituents from lignocellulosic waste residues, a cleaner and energy efficient solution can be provided for critical industrial problems such as ... -
An autonomous biodegradable hygroscopic seed-inspired soft robot for visual humidity sensing
(Elsevier, 2023-10-18)Visual sensors for relative humidity (RH) are of interest for distributed and autonomous environmental monitoring. Most of the visual humidity sensors are based on colorimetric sensing through the employment of hygroscopic ...
