While industrial activities have shaped our modern world and lifestyles, one of their many important environmental effects is the significant increase in methane emissions and the resultant atmospheric methane concentrations. A common byproduct of many industries, methane is often burned off as...

Collisions of motorized transport with wildlife impact a wide range of species and can cause injuries and economic losses to people. On roads, vehicle collisions with animals have been studied extensively, resulting in mitigation measures that reduce collisions by segregating animals and...

Cryopreserving cells for human health therapeutics is a multidisciplinary process with great complexity. Cryopreservation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) has facilitated vascular biology research since they were first isolated in 1973 [59]; however identifying key variables to...

Wetness perceptions in socks are an aspect of comfort. A bench scale measurement technique -- Algorithmic Image Analysis (AIA) -- to assess the liquid moisture distribution in sock fabrics, and relate them to wetness perceptions, is developed in this thesis. In AIA, the measurement of spread...

Mathematical models of cryopreservation processes are an important tool in the development of cryopreservation protocols that successfully avoid cryoinjury. Theoretical models of solution thermodynamic behaviour, known as solution theories, lie at the core of many cryopreservation models,...

Thin film diagnostics have been proposed as a solution to the growing need for point-of-care diagnostic tests. Diagnostics based on anodized aluminum-tantalum thin films use interference colours to detect the adsorption of protein layers on a surface. The purpose of this work was to develop a...
