Novel approaches in macroinvertebrate biomonitoring
… Benthic Index of Biotic Integrity (B-IBI) and a novel technique we call a Least Desired Index (LDI). LDI works in a reciprocal fashion to B-IBI in that the lowest scoring criteria of the metrics are set by anti-reference stream conditions, or conditions that represent an undesirable quality. …

Novel approaches in voltage-follower design
… research programme was to design and develop novel voltagefollowerslbuffers, suitable for radio frequency (RF) applications. The emphases throughout has been on improving key characteristics, in particular distortion, operating bandwidth, input and output impedances, offset-voltage and power …

Novel Approaches to Thalassaemia Gene Therapy
… the basis of a long-term programme to develop novel approaches to thalassaemia gene therapy, namely via an in utero delivery route that in principle could be readily applicable worldwide and thus have a positive global impact in the treatment of the haemoglobinopathies. We started with a …

Novel approaches to engineer glucose biosensors
… decades. In this work we attempt to develop a novel microspike based minimally invasive biosensor for this purpose. Also, as a part of an ongoing study, we attempt to improve the current design of coil-type implantable biosensors. Microspikes, which are able to painlessly penetrate the skin …

Novel approaches to MRI of glioma
… for Cytometry in Tumours (VERDICT) is a novel diffusion model that infers tissue microstructure compartment from conventional DWI measurements. This model derives metrics for the intracellular, intravascular and extracellular– extravascular spaces providing a more detailed interpretation …

Novel Approaches to Overloaded Array Processing
… excess-bandwidth. This thesis proposes three approaches to signal extraction in overloaded environments, each providing a different tradeoff in performance and complexity. The first receiver architecture extracts signals from an overloaded environment through the use of MMSE interference …

Novel Approaches for Anthelmintic and Nematicide Discovery
… chemical controls for parasitic nematodes with novel targets and modes-of-action. The free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has been an important model for identifying new lead chemical scaffolds with activity in parasitic nematodes and deciphering anthelmintic and nematicide …

Novel approaches to plant pest risk assessment
… for risk assessment and to explore different approaches that could lead to the development of new methods for practical PRA in line with the requirement of "scientific justification" by World Trade Organisation and Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations. Current international …

Novel approaches towards pharmacological enhancement of motivation
This work explores novel approaches towards pharmacological enhancement of motivated behaviour. A loss of motivation remains a severe unmet clinical need in a number of neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. The work described in this thesis, can be divided into two sections. Initially, …

Novel approaches in current-feedback operational amplifier design
… research programme was to design and develop a novel bipolar junction transistor Current Feedback Operational Amplifier (CFOA) with a good Common-Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR), suitable for radio frequency (RF) applications. This research focused on investigation of the established CFOA with the …

Novel approaches for reliable and efficient circuit design
"In this research work, a suite of approaches are presented to improve reliability of 3D heterogeneous processors (3DHP) and to reduce the area overhead of asynchronous designs. This work is primarily divided into two parts. In the first part, we present an approach for improving reliability in …

Novel approaches to the control of infectious diseases
As part of our ongoing efforts to find new drug leads against infectious diseases, several terrestrial and marine macro- and microorganisms were investigated. Several bioactive molecules, presented below, were isolated from these natural products. The mass-screening of dozens of marine …

Novel approaches and pharmacological considerations in melanoma treatment
Melanoma is the most aggressive skin cancer, traditionally known to be extremely resistant to common chemotherapeutics, and difficult to treat once metastasised. The prognosis of malignant melanoma is strongly dependent on early detection and disease stage. Recently a number of promising …

Novel Approaches to the Emergency Management of Hyperkalaemia
… to provide contemporary evidence for the use of novel potassium-binding medications in the emergency setting to try and reduce the risk of treatment failure with insulin dextrose and to limit the associated morbidity of hypoglycaemia and prolonged length of hospital stay reported in chapter 4. …

Novel approaches for the characterisation of spinodal alloys
… There is therefore a need to explore novel approaches for characterising these alloys. The work presented in this thesis explores the utility of two techniques, resonant ultrasound spectroscopy and high‑resolution synchrotron X‑ray diffraction, for investigating the phase …

Novel approaches to toxicity testing in Daphnia magna
… In this thesis, metabolomics is explored as a novel method for toxicity testing using Daphnia magna. Initially I evaluated the potential application of Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) based metabolomics for use in regulatory toxicity testing. …

NOVEL APPROACHES FOR STATISTICAL PROCESS CONTROL CHARTS PATTERN RECOGNITION
… correct the problems. This research proposes new approaches, neural networks and neural-fuzzy systems, to the (SPCCP) recognition. This dissertation also investigates the use of features extracted from statistical analysis for simple patterns, and wavelet analysis for concurrent patterns as the …

Pharmacology of novel approaches designed to target picornaviral infections
… was used to assess antivirus activity. Both approaches gave promising agents. Fluoxetine and dibucaine caused a complete CAV9 inhibition at low concentrations. All drug resistant mutants (DRM) against these compounds had a protein 2C I227V mutation, suggesting this protein is targeted, in …
