Bioanalytical methods for studies of homocysteine and novel cardiovascular disease indicators
… of CVD biomarkers and related biomolecular indicators. Initially, spectroscopic studies were conducted to investigate the chemical reactivity of homocysteine (Hcy), an independent CVD risk factor and serological biomarker. Consequently, we proposed an alternate theory for in vivo Hcy …

The use of infrared thermography and behavioural and physiological responses as early disease indicators in calves
Disease is widely acknowledged to be detrimental to an animal’s welfare and generates significant economic losses. To minimise the impact of disease on animal welfare and consequently reduce economic costs, early disease detection is essential for promoting earlier diagnosis, treatment and …

Mangrove population dynamics in relation to disturbance and recruitment within South African estuaries
… quantitative data was used for disturbances, disease indicators and the population structure and recruitment status of the forests and respective species. Disturbance was quantified by ranking it on a scale from 0 to 4 (four being the highest) for each site. The presence was noted for …

Portable blood plasma separation for point of care diagnostics
… of human blood, plasma, is rich in a variety of disease indicators, many of which have not yet been identified, and thus is an essential part in the diagnostic field. This thesis focuses on the design of a small, around 1 cm long, microfluidic device that separates out blood plasma from undiluted …

Single molecule methods for clinical biomarker quantification
… of sensitive and specific molecular indicators of disease. As our understanding of these biomarkers continues to advance, the ability to quantify low abundance biomarkers from small sample sizes has become increasingly important for characterizing new targets and expanding the range …
