THE EXPLORATION OF THE VALIDITY OF QUANTITATIVE 2-DEOXY-2-[FLUORINE-18] FLUORO-D-GLUCOSE (18F-FDG) POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY/COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (PET/CT) TO ASSESS LUNG INFLAMMATION
… of the tracer; linear and non-linear modelling techniques allow estimation of the metabolic rate of 18F-FDG in the lung. Previous studies have used a linear method called Patlak graphical analysis, whilst non-linear compartmental models have been used more recently to estimate …

Statistical aspects of bioavailability
… of resampling the data can also be applied to compartmental modelling of bioavailability data. One result of this is a nonparametric estimate of the underlying distribution of the bioavailability parameters (Chapter 6). The bootstrap is, on its own, a fascinating concept. A review of the …

An empirical and theoretical investigation of kleptoparasitic foraging behaviour in mixed-species aggregations of gulls (Laridae)
… to develop a model of kleptoparasitism using a compartmental modelling approach from evolutionary game theory and to test this using real foraging data. Fieldwork was undertaken at two study sites: a coastal site (Brancaster beach, Norfolk, UK) and an urban site (Billingsgate Market, London, …

Epidemiological model of the transmission and spread of Hepatitis B pandemic in Ghana
… this study employed a SEIR deterministic compartmental model, which incorporates latent period and vertical transmission, to examine the transmission and spread of hepatitis B in the context of the Sub-Saharan Africa with incidence data obtained from Ghana. The SEIR deterministic …

Predicting Soot Emissions with Advanced Turbulent Reacting Flow Modelling
… In the first part of the thesis, a comprehensive modelling strategy is proposed using a detailed physicochemical sectional soot model coupled with the Conditional Moment Closure (CMC) turbulent combustion model and Large Eddy Simulation (LES). This modelling approach allows for an elaborate …

Improved quantification in small animal PET/MR
In translational medicine, complementary functional and morphological imaging techniques are used extensively to observe physiological processes in vivo and to assess structural changes as a result of disease progression. The combination of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission …
