Physical properties of eclipsing binaries containing intermediate-mass pulsators or low-mass stars (2024)
Thesis

Precise stellar parameter measurements are crucial for improving our theoretical understanding of stellar structure. They help quantify model errors and uncertainties and provide vital constraints for interpreting observed phenomena, such as radius i...

Comprehensive utilisation of hydrogen gas for the efficient use of proton exchange membrane fuel cell powered vehicles (2024)
Thesis

The need for clean energy is not being met and is increasing each day. One immensely underused technology – proton exchange membrane fuel cells, can drastically help to deliver green energy and prevent the worsening of climate change. However, in ord...

Cell therapy to treat knee cartilage defects - transcriptome exploration of autologous mesenchymal stromal cells and chondrocytes (2024)
Thesis

Autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) has repeatedly been shown to be an effective treatment for cartilage defects within the knee and can delay or prevent the need for a total knee replacement. However, the level of clinical benefit experienced...

Greener Asthma Prescribing: A qualitative study exploring primary healthcare professional perspectives on reducing prescribing of metered dose inhalers for asthma (2024)
Thesis

Background: In 2020, the NHS developed its carbon net zero goals and highlighted metered dose inhalers (MDIs) as a focal point for change. MDIs are commonly prescribed for asthma in primary care and contain potent greenhouse gases, accounting for 3%...

Complex, high-risk but Indicated Percutaneous Coronary Interventions (CHiP) types, trends, and clinical outcomes (2024)
Thesis

Coronary artery disease ( CAD) remains the leading cause of death worldwide. Medical therapy and lifestyle modifications are the first line of therapy to minimise symptoms and retard disease progression. An Invasive therapy in the form of percutaneou...

Political attitudes and social change: The role of intergroup contact and social identity complexity (2024)
Thesis

This thesis explores the impact of intergroup contact on political attitudes via social identity complexity (SIC) across WEIRD and non-WEIRD societies, including post-conflict contexts. This research aims to test whether and how dimensions of intergr... Read More about Political attitudes and social change: The role of intergroup contact and social identity complexity.

Understanding the barriers, facilitators and extent of diagnostic delay in axial spondyloarthritis (2024)
Thesis

Background: Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) causes inflammation of the pelvis and spine, resulting in chronic pain, impaired range of movement, fatigue and physical disability. Diagnosis remains challenging and is frequently delayed, resulting in poo... Read More about Understanding the barriers, facilitators and extent of diagnostic delay in axial spondyloarthritis.

Exoplanet radius measurements for short-period exoplanets observed by the CHEOPS mission (2024)
Thesis

Context. Scheduling observing time for the CHEOPS mission leaves short gaps in which the telescope goes unused. If data collected during these gaps provided quality results, they could be utilised to make observing time more efficient. Aims. The ai...

The performance and politics of memory-work in contemporary documentary film: transforming violent pasts (2024)
Thesis

This thesis investigates the dynamics of ‘memory-work’ in contemporary documentary films that deal with painful pasts involving violence. The analysis will focus on four recently produced documentary films. Memory-work in this thesis is understood as... Read More about The performance and politics of memory-work in contemporary documentary film: transforming violent pasts.

Using Nanopore sequencing to identify bacterial infection in joint replacements: A Preliminary study (2024)
Journal Article

This project investigates if third-generation genomic sequencing can be used to identify the species of bacteria causing prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) at the time of revision surgery. Samples of prosthetic fluid were taken during revision surger... Read More about Using Nanopore sequencing to identify bacterial infection in joint replacements: A Preliminary study.

Patterns of Social Media Use across Age Groups during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Study across Four Countries (2024)
Journal Article

The aim of this study was to examine patterns of social media use across age groups in four countries (Norway, USA, UK, and Australia) two years after the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, and whether types of use and time spent using social media was rela...

Exploring the full range of N⋯I⋯X halogen-bonding interactions within a single compound using pressure † (2024)
Journal Article

The response of the trimethylammonium–iodinechloride and diiodide (TMA–ICl/I2) crystal structures have been examined under high pressure using neutron powder diffraction. TMA–ICl exhibits impressive pressure-driven electronic flexibility, where the N...

Is it too early to recommend local treatment in oligometastatic NSCLC: a plea for equipoise (2024)
Journal Article

Oligometastatic Non-Small Cell Lung cancer (OMD NSCLC) has been proposed to bridge the spectrum between non-metastatic to widely metastatic states and is perceived as an opportunity for potential cure if removed. Twelve clinical trials on local treat... Read More about Is it too early to recommend local treatment in oligometastatic NSCLC: a plea for equipoise.

Macroprolactin over time: Is there any point in rechecking it in people with a persistently elevated serum prolactin? (2024)
Journal Article

Objective and Design: Macroprolactinemia may influence the interpretation of serum prolactin levels—a recognised phenomenon since 1981. The degree of macroprolactinaemia over time is less well described. We determined how macroprolactin status (based...

Hazardous explosive eruptions of a recharging multi-cyclic island arc caldera (2024)
Journal Article

Caldera-forming eruptions of silicic volcanic systems are among the most devastating events on Earth. By contrast, post-collapse volcanic activity initiating new caldera cycles is generally considered less hazardous. Formed after Santorini’s latest c...
