Development of a cumulative irritation model for incontinence-associated dermatitis
(2015-01-01)Incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) is a painful yet preventable form of cumulative skin irritation prevalent amongst those with limited movement. Consequently, it has a significant impact on the quality of life for ... -
Development of a data set of pesticide dissipation rates in/on various plant matrices for the Pesticide Properties Database
(2017-08-29)Data relating to the rate at which pesticide active substances dissipate on or within various plant matrices are important for a range of different risk assessments including those related to occupational exposure and ... -
Development of a decision support system for phoma and light leaf spot in winter oilseed rape (PASSWORD project)
(HGCA, 2004-12-14)Pests and diseases in winter oilseed rape cause serious loss of yield and quality. Losses, predominantly from diseases, are estimated to exceed £80 million/annum in some years. These losses have occurred despite an annual ... -
The development of a digital intervention to increase influenza vaccination amongst pregnant women. Digital Health
(2021-04-21)Objective Pregnant women and unborn babies are at increased risk of complications from influenza, including pneumonia, yet in the UK, uptake of flu vaccination amongst this population remains <50%. Pregnant women hold ... -
Development of a Digital Microfluidic Toolkit: Alternative Fabrication Technologies for Chemical and Biological Assay Platforms
(2020-02-05)This thesis proposes the development of a digital microfluidics (DMF) device using alternative fabrication methods and materials for application in chemical and biological assays. DMF technology which relies on ... -
Development of a digital storytelling resource to support children's nursing students in neonatal care.
(2017-03-06)A digital storytelling resource focusing on the experience of nursing in neonatal care was developed using the narratives of six undergraduate children's nursing students who had undergone a practice placement on a neonatal ... -
Development of a Food-Exchange Model to Replace Saturated Fat with MUFAs and n-6 PUFAs in Adults at Moderate Cardiovascular Risk
(2014-06-01)The recommendation to reduce saturated fatty acid (SFA) consumption to ≤10% of total energy (%TE) is a key public health target aimed at lowering cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Replacement of SFA with unsaturated fats ... -
Development of a framework for automated systematic testing of safety-critical embedded systems
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2006)In this paper we introduce the development of a framework for testing safety-critical embedded systems based on the concepts of model-based testing. In model-based testing the test cases are derived from a model of the ... -
Development of a Gaussian Process – Feature Selection Model to Characterise (poly)dimethylsiloxane (Silastic®) Membrane Permeation
(2020-07)Objectives The current study aims to determine the effect of physicochemical descriptor selection on models of polydimethylsiloxane permeation. Methods 2,942 descriptors were calculated for a dataset of 77 chemicals. Data ... -
Development of a global mentorship infrastructure to support African Emergency Nurses
(2015-04-20)Study/Objective: This presentation will describe the creation of a global mentorship arrangement designed to support emergency nurses in Africa and the potential benefits and limitations of such a project. Background: ... -
Development of a haptic environment for biomedical engineering simulation An educational software to help demonstrate a virtual human torso model
(2009)In the current world, by and large, computer interaction relies on visual and auditory feedback and to make interactions more realistic, tactile response would be essential e.g. for medical training simulations. Haptic ... -
