Synthesis of small-molecule HGF-Met inhibitors for use in preventing cell motility (2020)
Thesis
Bunte, A. Synthesis of small-molecule HGF-Met inhibitors for use in preventing cell motility. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Glycosaminoglycans are becoming more and more focused upon as a research topic due to the broad use they have in aiding wound healing and preventing cell motility through competitive inhibition of the HGF-Met pathway. This pathway is extremely import... Read More about Synthesis of small-molecule HGF-Met inhibitors for use in preventing cell motility.

A novel hydraulic energy-storage-and-return prosthetic ankle : design, modelling and simulation (2020)
Thesis
Pace, A. A novel hydraulic energy-storage-and-return prosthetic ankle : design, modelling and simulation. (Thesis). University of Salford

In an intact ankle, tendons crossing the joint store energy during the stance phase of walking prior to push-off and release it during push-off, providing forward propulsion. Most prosthetic feet currently on the market – both conventional and ener... Read More about A novel hydraulic energy-storage-and-return prosthetic ankle : design, modelling and simulation.

A phenomenological study on decision-making under uncertainty in real estate investments in sub-Saharan Africa (2020)
Thesis
Nsibande, C. A phenomenological study on decision-making under uncertainty in real estate investments in sub-Saharan Africa. (Thesis). University of Salford

Over a period of time, the researcher observed that real estate investment decisions were made under uncertainty in sub-Saharan Africa, and that this was due to unreliable and outdated economic and market data. The phenomenological study was an inves... Read More about A phenomenological study on decision-making under uncertainty in real estate investments in sub-Saharan Africa.

The development of a bidding and award process map for road PPP projects in Ghana (2020)
Thesis
Tchorly, J. The development of a bidding and award process map for road PPP projects in Ghana. (Thesis). University of Salford

Road infrastructure plays a direct role in poverty reduction and income generation, as it supports all other sectors of the economy. However, the financial constraints of the emerging economy restrict the construction, maintenance and rehabilitation...

Water resources management & hydroclimatic data analysis in transboundary river basins under the influence of climate variability & water abstraction : Nile river basin (2020)
Thesis
Ahmed, Y. Water resources management & hydroclimatic data analysis in transboundary river basins under the influence of climate variability & water abstraction : Nile river basin. (Thesis). University of Salford

Water is a vital component for developing nations, as it is important for human consumption and domestic use, irrigation, and industry. The freshwater availability for each country should be known or estimated to sustainably manage its available su...

A model towards hurricane preparedness communication in the state of Florida, USA (2020)
Thesis
Jayaswal, S. A model towards hurricane preparedness communication in the state of Florida, USA. (Thesis). University of Salford

Hurricanes are hazards that become disasters when they interact with the human environment. It is critical to elucidate how the minimally investigated hurricane preparedness communication paradigm impacts vulnerable populations. This study was conduc...

Investigation into Toxoplasma gondii infection in relation to expression of neurodegenerative disease markers in natural mice populations (2020)
Thesis
Alshammari, A. (2020). Investigation into Toxoplasma gondii infection in relation to expression of neurodegenerative disease markers in natural mice populations. (Thesis). University of Salford

Toxoplasma gondii is a highly prevalent opportunistic protozoan parasite that has a remarkable capacity to infect humans and a range of warm-blooded animals. This research had two broad aims. Firstly, to investigating whether detection of T. gondii i...

Designing refugees’ camps : temporary emergency solutions, or contemporary paradigms of incomplete urban citizenship? Insights from Al Za’atari (2020)
Journal Article
Aburamadan, R., Trillo, C., & Makore, B. (2020). Designing refugees’ camps : temporary emergency solutions, or contemporary paradigms of incomplete urban citizenship? Insights from Al Za’atari. City, Territory and Architecture, 7, 12. https://doi.org/10.1186/s40410-020-00120-z

Millions of people have been forcibly displaced around the world at an alarming rate. In 2018, approximately 70.8 million people (UNHCR 2018) were living in refugee camps. These camps are the most immediate response to the emergency. However, they ha...

Differential gene expression of tumor-infiltrating CD33 + myeloid cells in advanced- versus early-stage colorectal cancer (2020)
Journal Article
Toor, S., Taha, R., Sasidharan Nair, V., Saleh, R., Murshed, K., Abu Nada, M., & Elkord, E. (2021). Differential gene expression of tumor-infiltrating CD33 + myeloid cells in advanced- versus early-stage colorectal cancer. Cancer Immunology, Immunotherapy, 70(3), 803-815. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00262-020-02727-0

Abstract: Colorectal cancer (CRC) has high mortality rates, especially in patients with advanced disease stages, who often do not respond to therapy. The cellular components of the tumor microenvironment are essentially responsible for dictating dise...
