Deletion of Prophages in Clostridioides difficile
(2022-04-14)Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) formally known as Clostridium difficile, is a Gram-positive spore forming anaerobe responsible for almost all cases of pseudomembranous colitis and is implicated in 25-33% of antibiotic ... -
Design and Optimisation of a Modular Industrial Air Scrubber Utilising Surfactant Absorption Technology
(2024-01-19)A novel air scrubbing technology using a misting application and water additives has successfully demonstrated the capability of scrubbing H2S at a water treatment plant. The air scrubber design utilises a solution of ... -
Design and Synthesis of Novel pH-Sensitive Anticancer Drug and Efflux Pump Inhibitor Conjugates
(2020-10-27)Resistance to anti-cancer therapies has proven a challenge for effective treatments. Efflux pumps when overexpressed in cancer cells, eject drugs from the cell, rendering them ineffective. The pH of cancer cells is generally ... -
Detection of Driver Drowsiness and Distraction Using Computer Vision and Machine Learning Approaches
(2019-05-27)Drowsiness and distracted driving are leading factor in most car crashes and near-crashes. This research study explores and investigates the applications of both conventional computer vision and deep learning approaches ... -
Developing Particulate Layers for a Light Scattering Model as Potential Means of Interpreting Remote Sensing Data of Planetary Surfaces
(University of Hertfordshire, 2014-01-29)The study of terrestrial surfaces (regolith) of celestial bodies on a large scale is only realistic if conducted remotely. One method of achieving this is through investigating the directional properties of light scattered ... -
The Development and Validation of the HPLC Method for Determination of Artesunate and Amodiaquine in Novel Antimalarial Formulations
(2024-07-03)ASAQ combination drug used in treating malaria is bitter in taste, resulting in poor adherence and difficulty in swallowing by children. To mitigate this issue, taste masking is achieved by coating the drug with polymers ... -
Development of an Off the Shelf Methanol Maser Telescope
(2018-06-14)Methanol masers are some of the brightest radio sources in the sky with flux densities exceeding several hundred or a thousand of Janskys. This implies that they are very accessible to small (meter class) and low-cost radio ... -
Dietary Habits and Participant-Led Adaptations to Diet for Pain Management in Fibromyalgia Sufferers: a Cross-Sectional Study
(2021-05-27)Abstract Fibromyalgia is a disorder characterised by chronic widespread pain that has been present for more than 3 months and can be elicited by palpitation of specific touch points. It is associated with a wide range ... -
Education and Social Mobility 1870 - 1914: a Study of Four Schools in the Registration District of Hitchin in Hertfordshire
(2015-08-26)Social mobility and how it should be measured is an important topic for sociologists and historians. However, there have been very few studies on the link between social mobility and the introduction of a state education ... -
Effect of Aspirin and Salicylic Acid on LPA Induced Differentiation of P19 Stem Cells into Cardiomyocytes
(2019-05-17)The use of stem cell-based therapy in conjunction with existing medical interventions, to target complications caused by coronary artery disease (CAD) is not fully examined. In parallel, the role of lysophosphatidic acid ... -
The effect of gender and load type on lower extremity biomechanics during jump landings
(2017-05-09)Introduction: Both gender and additional load have been shown to affect landing mechanics. Females are at an increased risk of sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament injury and patellofemoral pain syndrome, whereas males ... -
The effect of magnesium supplementation on high and low dietary magnesium intake on resting, during and recovering from exercise on blood pressure, performance and serum levels of magnesium (Mg2+).
(University of Hertfordshire, 2014-12-12)Objective: The objectives of this study were to determine if there is a significant effect on blood pressure, serum levels of magnesium and sports performance including 1RM and 10 kilometre running time trial following ... -
The Effects and Differences of Sprint Interval Training, Endurance Training and the Training Types Combined on Physiological Parameters and Exercise Performance
(University of Hertfordshire, 2014-03-24)Sprint Interval Training (SIT) is a time efficient way in order to elicit similar changes as Endurance Training (ET) on aerobic capacity, with the purpose of the exercise training to alter physiological systems and exceed ... -
Effects of Chronic Ingestion of L-arginine alpha ketoglutarate Combined With Creatine monohydrate on Anaerobic Performance in Strength-Trained Athletes
(University of Hertfordshire, 2014-09-26)There has been a vast growth in the use of ‘pre’ workout nutritional aids for sports performance over the past decade, particularly those containing single use amino acids such as L-arginine. There are many purported ... -
