Probiotics and their Interaction with Bacteria associated with Neonatal Necrotising Enterocolitis in an In-vitro Model
Neonatal necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) is one of the most devastating diseases affecting new born premature infants [5]. Globally it affects 1-5% of all neonatal intensive care admissions and is a leading cause of neonatal ...
Relationship of Individual Pilot Factors to Simulated Flight Performance
Introduction: Requirements for greater cognitive skills have increased with expanding complexity of aircraft and the flying environment. The aim of this research was to investigate the relationship of age, cognition, ...
Settlement Patterns and Indigenous Agency in Te Tau Ihu, 1770-1860
Dynamic post-contact Maori settlement patterns in Te Tau Ihu o te Waka a Maui (the northern South Island) are used to investigate agency and the role of emergent nineteenth century European population on Maori landscape ...
The relationships between body composition phenotypes, postural instability and strength in people with idiopathic Parkinson’s disease
Background and Aim
Postural instability has been identified as one of the main causes for injurious falls in people with idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (IPD). Muscle weakness in older adults is one of the identified factors ...
FootFAST screening tool for overuse injury risk: Psychometric properties of its three visual assessments of function.
Lower limb overuse injuries are common in the military, and their causes are multifactorial. Both internal factors such as anthropometrics and body mass index, and external factors such as equipment use and weapons carriage, ...
Pre-disaster Recovery Planning: Lessons From Japan
People worldwide are exposed to a variety of hazards. Usually, when natural hazards such as earthquakes occur in uninhabited areas the human impact is negligible. However, hazards can be so extreme that they adversely ...
Enhancement and source imaging of electrical activity in the brain associated with behavioural microsleeps
Lapses in responsiveness (‘lapses’), especially behavioural microsleeps (‘microsleeps’) and attention lapses, involve complete disruption of performance from 0.5 to 15 s and can result in injury or death, especially in the ...
A Digital Frequency Source for Movement of Ultracold Atoms by Acousto-Optic Deflection
This thesis documents the development of a frequency source based on a field programmable gate array (FPGA) and a direct digital synthesiser (DDS). The source was used to drive the two inputs of a dual-axis acousto-optic ...
The impact of commensals predominant in the infant gut on signal cascades in epithelial cells
The human colon contains about 20 trillion commensal bacteria belonging to about 160 species per human. The mechanisms by which individual species of these bacteria evade host inflammatory immune responses and instead ...
Bioinformatic Approaches to Analysing RRBS Data in the Context of Pre-eclampsia
The placenta is a crucial element of human life. It sustains and enables the development from a small group of cells to a whole organism. The placenta is a unique organ that fulfils multiple roles, from delivery of oxygen ...
