Life cycle inventory uncertainty in resource-based industries : a focus on coal-based power generation by Notten, Philippa Josephine

“…LeA is an inherently uncertain procedure in that it combines data sources of varying accuracy and representativeness, and employs subjective judgement in applying this data to future operating systems. Subjective judgements are also present in the definition of the systems, and in the modelling choices determining the accuracy and complexity of the inventory and impact models used. …”

Differential proteomic profiling towards elucidation of TB-IRIS pathogenesis by Peyper, Janique Michelle

“…Reactivation of Mtb lymphocyte memory responses likely only produces clinically-apparent inflammation (TB-IRIS) when multiple simultaneous but incompatible immune programmes (e.g. overzealous myeloid activity, Th1, Th2, Th17, and Treg) coexist. Based on this model, existing compounds with the potential for rational, safe, effective TB-IRIS prophylaxis/therapy are identified (e.g. glutathione, vitamins B-complex and A/D/E, rapamycin, and metformin) which may assist in restoring system homeostasis.…”

Characterising the potential health risks associated with coal dust by Kamanzi, Kankindi Conchita, von Holdt, Johanna, Jacobs, Muazzam

“…As an outcome of such results, this study provides a robust analysis strategy for elucidating particle cell relations which can further advance the understanding of coal dust induced disease pathology. Additionally, the protocol has demonstrated the usefulness of disseminating the complex data structures to more easily interpretable data formats such that a generalisable analysis of risk factors related to coal dust-based cellular damage can be utilised by stakeholders in data-based decision making. …”
