The conservation of the snow leopard (panthera uncia) and an action plan for the Indian Himalaya population
Thesis
Schofield, A. The conservation of the snow leopard (panthera uncia) and an action plan for the Indian Himalaya population. (Dissertation). University of Salford

The snow leopard (Panthera uncia) inhabits the high-altitude mountains of Central Asia, with 2,710 to 3,386 individuals remaining in the wild. Snow leopards were previously listed as an endangered species on the IUCN Red List, but 2017 saw the specie...

Effect of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on inflammatory biomarkers in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Thesis
Al-Haidose, A. Effect of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on inflammatory biomarkers in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. (Thesis). University of Salford

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic progressive inflammatory disease characterised by airflow limitation. Several pro-inflammatory markers are thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of COPD. Cigarette smoking is a major risk...

The drivers of variation in susceptibility to the amphibian-killing fungus, batrachochytrium dendrobatidis
Thesis
Smith, D. The drivers of variation in susceptibility to the amphibian-killing fungus, batrachochytrium dendrobatidis. (Thesis). University of Salford

The fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is regarded as a primary driver of the dramatic global declines experienced by amphibian populations in recent decades. The threat posed by Bd extends into pristine regions, decimating populatio...

Lead optimisation of dehydroemetine as an antimalarial option through drug repositioning and molecular modelling
Thesis
Panwar, P. Lead optimisation of dehydroemetine as an antimalarial option through drug repositioning and molecular modelling. (Thesis). University of Salford

Malaria is a life-threatening infectious disease caused by a parasitic protozoan belonging to the genus Plasmodium. Resistance has started to emerge for the currently recommended artemisinin combination therapies used to treat malaria. There is a gre...

An automated classification system to determine malignant grades of brain tumour (glioma) in magnetic resonance images based on meta-trainable multiple classifier schemes
Thesis
Al-Zurfi, A. An automated classification system to determine malignant grades of brain tumour (glioma) in magnetic resonance images based on meta-trainable multiple classifier schemes. (Thesis). University of Salford

The accurate classification of malignant grades of brain tumours is crucial for therapeutic planning as it impacts on the tumour’s prognosis, where the higher the malignancy levels of the brain tumour are, the higher the mortality rate is. It is also...

On-demand offloading collaboration framework based on LTE network virtualisation
Thesis
Albinali, S. On-demand offloading collaboration framework based on LTE network virtualisation. (Thesis). Unversity of Salford

Recently, there has been a significant increase in data traffic on mobile networks, due to the growth in the numbers of users and the average data volume per user. In a context of traffic surge and reduced revenues, operators face the challenge of fi... Read More about On-demand offloading collaboration framework based on LTE network virtualisation.

The effects of Tumour necrosis factor-alpha and Interleukin-1-beta on intracellular calcium handling and contractility in sheep ventricular myocytes
Thesis
Hadgraft, N. The effects of Tumour necrosis factor-alpha and Interleukin-1-beta on intracellular calcium handling and contractility in sheep ventricular myocytes. (Thesis). University of Salford

Proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-1β are implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory disease states such as sepsis. In sepsis, myocardial depression is a leading cause of death. To design novel therapeutic targets, it is essential tha...

Ageing in dogs (canis familiaris) and its relationship to their environment
Thesis
Mascarenhas Ladeia Dutra, L. Ageing in dogs (canis familiaris) and its relationship to their environment. (Thesis). University of Salford

Animal welfare is assumed to be influenced by the cumulative effects of positive and nega-tive events experienced by an individual. The present study investigated the levels of cor-tisol, relative telomere length and the association of these variable...
