A Novel Instrument for Studying the Flow Behaviour of Erythrocytes through Microchannels Simulating Human
(1997)A novel instrument has been developed to study the microrheology of erythrocytes as they flow through channels of dimensions similar to human blood capillaries. The channels are produced in silicon substrates using ... -
Novel instrumentation and biomedical applications of very near-infrared fluorescence
(1993-04)A high wavelength fluorescent probe, Nile Red, was added to four proteins, viz., bovine albumin, alpha1-acid glycoprotein, beta-lactoglobulin and ovomucoid. Nile Red showed an enhancement in fluorescence and a shift in ... -
Novel integrated agricultural land management approach provides sustainable biomass feedstocks for bioplastics and supports the UK’s “net-zero” target
(2020-12-28)We investigate the potential in producing biodegradable bio-plastics to support the emergent 'net-zero' greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions targets in the UK. A 'cradle to grave' life cycle assessment was developed to evaluate ... -
Novel markers reveal subpopulations of subplate neurons in the murine cerebral cortex
(2009-08-01)The subplate lays the foundation of the developing cerebral cortex, and abnormalities have been suggested to contribute to various brain developmental disorders. The causal relationship between cellular pathologies and ... -
A novel method for computing natural path for robot assisted movements in synthetic worlds
(IOS Press, 2001)Several methods and theories have been used to create a smooth trajectory for machine assisted physiotherapy [1]. We have introduced a novel theory to create such a smooth trajectory. The mathematical model introduced in ... -
A novel method of non-clinical dispatch is associated with a higher rate of critical Helicopter Emergency Medical Service intervention
(2018-09-25)Background - Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) are a scarce resource that can provide advanced emergency medical care to unwell or injured patients. Accurate tasking of HEMS is required to incidents where advanced ... -
