Collaborating through sounds: audio-only interaction with diagrams
(2010)
The widening spectrum of interaction contexts and users’ needs continues to expose the limitations
of the Graphical User Interface. But despite the benefits of sound in everyday activities and
considerable progress in ...
Fabrication of porous carbon structures for biological fuel cells
(2010)
Biofuel cells demand three-dimensional, “high” surface area electrodes with “high”
electrical conductivity and structural integrity. The aim of this project is to design and
fabricate porous carbon structures as ...
DNA methylation in follicular lymphoma
(2010)
Follicular Lymphoma (FL) is a common B cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma with a median survival of 8-10 years. Patients frequently undergo transformation to a more aggressive lymphoma and this is associated with drastically reduced ...
Loss functions, utility functions and Bayesian sample size determination.
(2011)
This thesis consists of two parts. The purpose of the first part of the research is
to obtain Bayesian sample size determination (SSD) using loss or utility function
with a linear cost function. A number of researchers ...
Pharmacokinetic studies of drug absorption into human skin
(2010)
Optimum therapeutic outcomes require not only proper drug selection but also effective
drug delivery and monitoring. The aim of this thesis was to A) study drug delivery
through the skin with a liquid formulated to ...
Kissing bonds in adhesive joints: a holistic approach for surface chemistry and joint mechanics
(2011)
Kissing bonds (KBs) refer to the situation where two surfaces are only partially
bonded or are debonded but touching or in very close proximity. This may be the
consequence of poor adhesion, environmental degradation or ...
Interactive real-time musical systems
(2009)
This thesis focuses on the development of automatic accompaniment systems.
We investigate previous systems and look at a range of approaches
that have been attempted for the problem of beat tracking. Most beat
trackers ...
Development of a non-invasive method to detect pericellular spatial oxygen gradients using FLIM
(2011)
Extracellular oxygen concentrations affect cellular metabolism and influence tissue
function. Detection methods for these extracellular oxygen concentrations currently have
poor spatial resolution and are frequently ...
The correlation of keratin expression with in-vitro epithelial cell line differentiation
(2009)
The mechanism of transcriptional regulation which allows oral mucosal-specific
expression of the human keratin 13 (K13) gene remains unknown. The pattern of
expression of keratin genes in the oral mucosa shows sequential ...
