Characterisation of inflammatory mediators in ischaemic heart disease (2022)
Thesis
Borun, A. Characterisation of inflammatory mediators in ischaemic heart disease. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the most common causes of death in general population. In the UK it accounts for 64000 deaths annually and there are currently 2.3 million people living with CAD. Persistent inflammation of myocardium is believ...

DeepClean: a robust deep learning approach for autonomous vehicle camera data privacy (2022)
Thesis
Adeboye, O. DeepClean: a robust deep learning approach for autonomous vehicle camera data privacy. (Thesis). University of Salford

Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) generate several forms of tracking data, such as geolocation, distance, and camera data. The utility of these data, especially camera data for computer vision projects, has contributed to the advancement of high-performance...

Coordination of development and operations activities in agile software development (2022)
Thesis
Macarthy, R. Coordination of development and operations activities in agile software development. (Thesis). University of Salford

DevOps is described as a software engineering culture and philosophy that utilises cross-functional teams, to build test and release software faster and more reliably through automation. As an emerging concept, its definitions and best practices are... Read More about Coordination of development and operations activities in agile software development.

The effect of active prophage carriage on the virulence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (2022)
Thesis
Plahe, G. The effect of active prophage carriage on the virulence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. (Dissertation). University of Salford

The Liverpool epidemic strain (LES) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a key opportunistic pathogen and major cause of death in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. The bacterium establishes biofilm communities, contributing to immune evasion and adaptation to t...
