Comparative Delivery of 1,8-Cineole and Eucalyptus Oil Using Chitosan Nanoparticles and PVA Nanofibers: A Polymeric Nanotechnology Toolbox for Antibacterial, Wound-Healing, and Ant... by Shetta, Amro AbdelAzeem

“…Overall, the findings deliver a proof-of-concept structure–property–function message: CIN generally provides more reproducible performance than EU under matched processing, the NP-in-NF two-barrier architecture most effectively converts volatile bioactivity into sustained antibacterial and wound-healing outcomes, and CS–CIN NPs provide the strongest anticancer response within the tested panel.…”

An investigation into the use of stereophotogrammetry for the analysis of craniofacial dysmorphology in schizophrenia by Cousins, Michael

“…Studies of craniofacial dysmorphology in schizophrenia, carried out since the 1960s, have reported minor physical anomalies in those with schizophrenia, prominently in the craniofacial region. Indirect methods, most notably 3D laser imaging, have been used previously for investigating craniofacial dysmorphology in schizophrenia. …”

Restoration of cellular immunity in HIV-infected individuals on antiretroviral therapy by Fatime Ramla, Tanko

“…Whilst the widespread implementation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) has led to reduced morbidity and mortality in most HIV-infected individuals having access to treatment, we still do not know whether full restoration of immune function occurs. …”

The effect of alcohol intoxication on haemodynamic physiology of acute cardiac tamponade by Hewitt, Peter MacDonald

“…Alcohol is also thought to have a detrimental effect in shock states. However, most research has concentrated on haemorrhagic shock, whereas in cardiac tamponade, the pathophysiology of shock is very different. …”

Effects of protected areas and climate change on the occupancy dynamics of common bird species in South Africa by Duckworth, Greg

“…Overall, my key findings show bird abundances vary widely as a function of protected areas, but on average, bird abundances are higher in regions with a higher proportion of protected areas, compared to regions with a lower proportion. …”

A numerical modelling study of Port Alfred upwelling along the inshore edge of Agulhas current by Sunnassee, Taukoor Sheveenah

“…Finally, we conducted 2 combined Empirical Orthogonal Function analysis from (1) sea surface temperature and (2) vertical velocity and identified surface divergence as the most dominant upwelling driver in both combined EOFs while Ekman transport, the presence of cyclonic eddies, the Agulhas Current and coastal trapped waves also counted as contributing factors in stronger and weaker upwelling events. …”

Leveraging gene/subnetwork meta-analysis to recover signal and deconvolute the interactions between genes in the risk of genetic disorders by Defo, Joel

“…Enrichment analysis of the network genes revealed pathways with top significance associated with signaling, immune function, and nervous system development. In conclusion, the method presented in this thesis provides new insights into functional and molecular mechanisms issued from a gene/subnetwork-centric approach and exhibits candidate genes for drug targets and drug re-purposing. …”
