The early and rapid detection of the Enterobacteriaceae, Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes is desirable to prevent foodborne outbreaks. In this thesis, novel molecular and flow cytometric based methods ...

The last number of years has seen the development of a wide range of nanoscale materials exhibiting new or improved properties with considerable potential for electronic, energy, and sensing applications. One could argue ...

As the importance and complexity of medical device software continues to increase there is growing demand for effective process assessment and improvement in this domain. To address this need the Medi SPICE process assessment ...

A prototype of miniaturized, low power, bi-directional wireless communication system was designed for in vivo pressure monitoring. The capacitive pressure sensors have been developed particularly for the medical field, ...

The rigor versus relevance debate continues to be a matter of lively discussion in the information systems discipline. The main argument of this paper is that dialogical action research provides a methodology to pursue ...

This thesis investigates the different dimensions of the memory concept in Günter Grass‟s autobiographical text Peeling the Onion, published in 2006, building on theories by Jan and Aleida Assmann, Maurice Halbwachs, Astrid ...

This paper describes the design and evaluation of a novel easy to use, tissue viability imaging system (TiVi). The system is based on the methods of diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and polarization spectroscopy. The ...

Higher education literature abounds with dark forebodings regarding the impact of the Digital Library on the traditional academic library. In a vein that will be familiar to most of us, the ‘Academic Library Autopsy Report ...

Coulomb repulsion due to the surface charge on semi-conductor nanorods works against the dipole-dipole attraction that tends to direct the nanorods to self-assemble; the nature of this self10 assembly for CdSe nanorods ...

Feature diagrams are a popular means for documenting variability in software product line engineering. When examining feature diagrams in the literature and from industry, we observed that the same modelling concepts are ...
