Clinical Applications of Genomic Analyses in Prostate Cancer
… and survival. Additional biomarkers that predict clinical course and refine therapeutic decision-making to avoid over- and under-treatment and improve outcomes in men with aggressive disease are urgently needed. Several promising genomic biomarkers have emerged. This thesis firstly summarises the …

Variability of chromatic sensitivity: fundamental studies and clinical applications
… test in comparison with a number of established clinical colour vision tests, e.g., Nagel anomaloscope and Ishihara pseudoisochromatic plates. The specificity and sensitivity of the CAD test versus the Nagel anomaloscope (223 subjects) was found to be 100% and 97.5%, respectively. The diagnostic …

Stop Making Sense: Exploring Basic Properties and Clinical Applications of Coherence
This study explored the ways in which people make sense of ambiguous tasks and the degree to which people prefer contexts where coherent responding is possible. Relational frame theory contains a foundational assumption that coherence (i.e., making sense) is reinforcing for verbally competent …

Microbial communities as predictors of outcomes in industrial and clinical applications
… diversity represents a wealth of potential for applications in many fields. To harness this potential for engineering applications, the impact of temporal dynamics need to be better understood. Yet most of the data we have are in the form of static surveys of diversity. In this thesis, I use 16S …
