Patient Centric Supply Networks enabled by Advanced Production and Digital Technologies
Recent Supply Network (SN) disruptions have forced firms to rethink, innovate and transition to new business and operational models to survive ('Beyond the pandemic', J....
Characterisation of Knock in Direct Injection Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engines
The internal combustion engine (ICE) has been the 'silver bullet' in powering machinery for the transportation, mining and construction industries. However, with existing...
Interrogating the cellular and molecular mechanisms of tissue fibrosis
Background: Scar formation is a vital mechanism of tissue repair following injury. However, healthy tissue repair can develop into pathological fibrosis, which ultimately leads to...
A Marxist-feminist approach to improving sex worker vulnerability
The project will explore the subjective experiences of vulnerability of UK sex workers with a view to understanding how these experiences are shaped by capitalist relations, and to...
Genetic characterisation and mathematical modelling of speed-breeding plasticity in barley.
With changes in population demographics, urbanisation and the declared climate emergency in Scotland there is a need to use resources more sustainably. The importance of breeding c...
Identification and quantification of complex plant pathogens within heterogenous samples harnessing single molecule sequencing
This project aims to generate proof of principle data that will allow the development of rapid in-field assays for the identification of specific plant pathogens through the combin...
Advanced image analysis to track daily biological changes in radiotherapy.
Background: Radiotherapy in the treatment of cancer using high-energy x-rays. For patients with prostate cancer, radiotherapy is one of the main treatment options, used in combinat...
Heterogeneous case-carburised bearing steel microstructures
The aim of the project is the assess the local mechanics of case-carburised steel grades and microstructures for roller bearing applications, and to link in-service mechanical perf...
How do molluscs build their shells? Deciphering calcium transport mechanisms in shellfish biomineralisation using genome-editing
Marine invertebrates have answered the most fundamental questions in biology. Jellyfish provided the first fluorescent protein, the giant axons of squid taught us nerve signalling...
Enabling long term sustainability strategies through leadership identity
Pressure is increasing on societies to establish organised social mechanisms to reduce the environmental impacts of production processes with an emphasis on sustainability. Busines...
Surgical data science for intelligent guidance and control in image-guided and robotic interventions
Research in surgical data science aims at improving the quality of interventional healthcare by leveraging information from heterogeneous data sources (e.g., medical imaging, senso...
REU Site: Inclusive Student Training in Rapidly Urbanizing Climate-sensitive Terrains (InSTRUCT)
As projected by the Fourth National Climate Assessment in 2018 for the Texas region, “As major metropolitan areas … continue their rapid population growth, overall exposure to extr...
ShEEP Request for a Cytek Aurora Spectral Analyzer
We request funds for the purchase of a Cytek Aurora Spectral Analyzer flow cytometer to replace our Becton Dickinson (BD) LSRII cell analyzer currently housed in the flow cytometry...
Defining translational mechanisms to promote regenerative healing of chronic wounds
Defining translational mechanisms to promote regenerative healing of chronic wounds Abstract: Chronic wounds are common among our veterans, often impacting negatively on their abil...
