Demonstrating the potential of indoor positioning for monitoring building occupancy through ecologically valid trials (2021)
Journal Article
Mashuk, M., Pinchin, J., Siebers, P., & Moore, T. (2021). Demonstrating the potential of indoor positioning for monitoring building occupancy through ecologically valid trials. Journal of Location Based Services, 15(4), 305-327. https://doi.org/10.1080/17489725.2021.1893394

Assessing building performance related to energy consumption in post-design-occupancy stage requires knowledge of building occupancy pattern. These occupancy data can potentially be collected from trials and used to improve the prediction capability...

Greigite as an Indicator for Salinity and Sedimentation Rate Change: Evidence From the Yangtze River Delta, China (2021)
Journal Article

Ferrimagnetic greigite (Fe3S4) is widespread in the sedimentary environment. Despite abundant reports of greigite occurrence in marine and lacustrine deposits, its formation mechanisms in deltaic deposits remain poorly studied. Here we investigate gr...

Establishing a protocol to measure tetrodotoxin (TTX) levels in small bodied newts (genus Lissotriton) in western Europe (2021)
Thesis
Wagstaff, R. Establishing a protocol to measure tetrodotoxin (TTX) levels in small bodied newts (genus Lissotriton) in western Europe. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a defence toxin most commonly found in marine organisms, and amphibians are the only land vertebrates (tetrapods) which are known to produce TTX. However, the origin of TTX in amphibians remains largely unknown, and our knowledg...

Blood Flow Mediated Hybrid Nanoparticles in Human Arterial System: Recent Research, Development and Applications (2021)
Journal Article

Blood flow dynamics contributes an elemental part in the formation and expansion of cardiovascular diseases in human body. Computational simulation of blood flow in the human arterial system has been widely used in recent decades for better understan...

An investigation into Toxoplasma gondii infection and the expression of Arginase-1 and iNOS in human lung tissue (2021)
Thesis

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between Toxoplasma gondii infection and the expression of the immune modulating proteins Arginase-1 and iNOS in human lung biopsy samples. Previously, a 100% toxoplasmosis infection rate was found in 7... Read More about An investigation into Toxoplasma gondii infection and the expression of Arginase-1 and iNOS in human lung tissue.

Proinflammatory cytokines as mediators of phenotypic change in bacteria implicated in ventilator-associated pneumonia (2021)
Thesis
Tompsett, A. Proinflammatory cytokines as mediators of phenotypic change in bacteria implicated in ventilator-associated pneumonia. (Thesis). University of Salford

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a common hospital-acquired infection in intensive care. VAP is associated with increased hospital stay, healthcare costs, and high mortality. VAP is difficult to diagnose and manage appropriately, leading to w...
