Using data to characterise the relationship between nanobody sequence, structure and function
(2019-10-20)Nanobodies (Nbs) are a class of single-domain antibody derived from the immune systems of camelid species. They achieve binding affinities and specificities to target antigens comparable to those of classical antibodies ... -
UNDERSTANDING CONDITIONAL MODES OF ACTIONS IN CHEMICAL-INDUCED TOXICITY USING RULE MODELS
(2019-10-26)It is estimated that 115 million animals are used in experimental testing each year. Hence, shifting efforts toward alternative methods for toxicity assessment is essential. However, slow regulatory acceptance of new ... -
Density Functional Theory Study of Aromatic Adsorption on Iron Surfaces
(2019-10-26)This thesis studies the adsorption behaviour of aromatic molecules on iron surfaces using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The adsorbates studied are benzene ($C_{6}H_{6}$), naphthalene ($C_{8}H_{10}$) and ... -
Investigating the Generation and Reaction of Organoaluminiums in Marine Container Refrigeration Systems
(2019-07-20)The unexpected presence of chloromethane in marine container refrigeration systems has led to multiple explosions reported around the world. This is thought to occur due to the generation of methylaluminium chlorides, from ...
