Single-molecule imaging studies of protein dynamics
Single-molecule fluorescence imaging is a powerful method for studying biological events. The work of this thesis primarily focuses on single molecule studies of the dynamics of Green Fluorescent Protein: GFP) and other fluorescent-labeled proteins by utilizing Total Internal Reflection …

Tire-Road Friction Coefficient Estimation Using a Multi-scale, Physics-based Model
The interaction between a tire and road surface is of critical importance as the motion of a car in both transient and steady-state maneuvers is predicated on the friction forces generated at the tire-road interface. A general method for predicting friction coefficients for an arbitrary asphalt …

A personal thermophoretic sampler for airborne nanoparticles
… routes (e.g., respiration, dermal penetrations, and ingestion). Nanoparticles that enter the body can also translocate from one organ to another by virtue of their small size. A cost-effective personal sampler is necessary to evaluate levels of worker exposure to these materials to determine the …

Polarimetry Of Random Fields
On temporal, spatial and spectral scales which are small enough, all fields are fully polarized. In the optical regime, however, instantaneous fields can rarely be examined, and, instead, only average quantities are accessible. The study of polarimetry is concerned with both the description of …

Detection and tracking of cells and focal adhesions in microscopy images
… field (including cancer research, immunology and drug discovery) has been fuelled by an improved understanding of cell function and structure. Modern microscopy and imaging techniques have enabled cell biologists to observe and record cell processes in detail, thus generating high volumes of …

SIGNALLING TISSUE RENEWAL AND CRYPT SURVIVAL IN THE HUMAN COLONIC EPITHELIUM AND BARRETT’S OESOPHAGUS
… the intestinal epithelium is a tightly regulated and controlled process. The colonic epithelium is organised into millions of invaginations called crypts, each of which represents the self-renewing unit of the tissue. In the mouse, renewal of the intestinal epithelium is regulated by signalling …

Physical and geochemical characterisation of canal sediments in the Black Country, West Midlands.
… including pedology, chemistry, pollution science and medicine. Within the scientific community, emphasis has usually been placed on the toxic elements, such as cadmium, chromium, lead and arsenic, but rarely has there been consideration of interactions between PHEs, the sediment matrix and …

Obesity and Aggressive Prostate Cancer: Bias and Biology
… with altered circulating levels of metabolic and sex steroid hormones involved in prostate development as well as oncogenesis. However, the current observational evidence linking obesity to aggressive PC is inconsistent or conflicting, and there is growing concern that much of the …
