Wave motions have been detected throughout the solar atmosphere for many decades, and their ability to transport energy through the atmosphere has sparked wide investigation into the role of waves in the heating of the upper solar atmosphere. Strong predominantly vertical magnetic fields within sunspots provide ideal c...

Poorly soluble drugs pose a major challenge in the field of drug delivery, as they are considered difficult to deliver. Many techniques can be possibly used to aid in improving the solubility profiles of those compound and improve their delivery. Those techniques has shown to be effectively used in the preparation of o...

Since the discovery in 1977 that certain conditions enhance scattering per molecule, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has grown rapidly. SERS greatly increases the likelihood of inelastic light scattering, addressing the low sensitivity and fluorescence interference of conventional Raman spectroscopy. Metal n...

Thermosetting epoxy resins are extensively utilised as matrices for advanced carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites. Their relatively high stiffness, strength, glass transition temperature (Tg), and strong bonding to the reinforcing fibres, together with their ease of processing, are attractive attributes. T...

The development of electrochemical energy storage systems (ESSs) is essential if we are to transition away from fossil fuels and alleviate global warming. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), one of the ESSs, are now widely used in electrical devices. However, with the rapidly developing market of Electric vehicles (EV) and H...

This PhD thesis addresses the challenges posed by complex biological systems on molecular detection and analysis using biofilms as a model system. Biofilms, with their sticky and heterogeneous extracellular matrix of polysaccharides, proteins and nucleic acids, exhibit strong matrix interference. The presence of multip...

Abstract. We study the application of a quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) method to a class of semilinear parabolic reaction-diffusion partial differential equations used to model tumor growth. Mathematical models of tumor growth are largely phenomenological in nature, capturing infiltration of the tumor into surrounding healthy...

Current therapy of tuberculosis (TB) has several limitations, such as risk of liver injury and intestinal dysbiosis due to frequent oral administration of antibiotics. Transdermal administration could be used to improve antibiotic delivery for treatment of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. Therefore, this thesis de...

Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations and Quasi Elastic Neutron Scattering (QENS) experiments are used to investigate the dynamics of industrially relevant catalysis reactions. Despite the widespread industrial applications of mesoporous materials there is often little understanding of the dynamical processes within the...

It is nearly thirty years since the first report of hydrogen-bonding in room-temperature ionic liquids, which was met by an immediate chorus of derision. Today, it is universally accepted, but still has not received the degree of attention that it deserves. The focus of this thesis was the study of hydrogen-bonding in...

The main aim of this research was to manufacture and characterise the physiochemical, rheological and drug release properties of drug loaded insoluble matrices prepared by HME technology, to provide a deeper understanding of the mechanisms which affect drug release from hot melt extruded solid dosage forms. Polymethacr...

Solar forcing and geomagnetic disturbances reshape radiation-belt electron populations through a chain of coupled processes that cannot be represented adequately by a single activity index. This study introduces an activity-conditioned resonance kernel (ACRK) that links solar-wind driving, magnetic compression, cold-pl...
