The simultaneous flow of three phases in porous media is ubiquitous in natural and engineered processes such as carbon dioxide storage, oil recovery, contaminant removal, food and drug manufacturing, and chemical reactors. However, only few studies have been found in the literature on the subject. The recent advent of non-invasive three-dimensional imaging provided by X-ray microtomography has yielded a breakthrough in the study of multiphase flow in porous media. We use these techniques and advanced...

Accurate, timely, and sensitive diagnosis is the first step in appropriately treating disease. The development of diagnostics that can be used in non-hospital and point-of-care (PoC) settings is key for democratizing access to disease diagnosis and treatment when it is most effective. The application of PoC diagnostics in early disease detection is often limited due to insufficient sensitivity for the short time frames and limited resources available in these settings. To overcome these challenges, this...

The primary theme of this thesis is the study of recursion formulae in enumerative geometry. In Chapter 2 we define moduli spaces of relative stable quasimaps in genus zero, and derive a recursion formula which allows us to compute the resulting relative quasimap invariants. We apply this formula to obtain a quantum Lefschetz theorem for quasimap invariants (this is joint work with Luca Battistella). In Chapter 3 we present work in progress towards a recursion...

Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) were initially developed primarily to serve as a means of bridging heart failure patients to transplantation. However, reports show that significant myocardial functional recovery occurs in some LVAD patients to the extent that device explantation can be achieved without the need for transplantation. This phenomenon, described as reverse remodelling only occurs in about 4-10% of patients treated with LVADs and the basis for this is unknown. Myocardial fibrosis worsens with...

Hospital based reports suggest a decline in blood culture-confirmed typhoid in India over the past three decades with considerable heterogeneity across risk settings. Extensive use of antibiotics early in febrile illness could decrease the identification of typhoid through blood culture and may therefore be responsible in part for this apparent decline, I measured typhoid incidence through active surveillance of a paediatric cohort in a setting where hospital laboratory reporting declined from 510 cases in 1992...

Biodiesel is a promising renewable and sustainable fuel that can replace fossil fuels. Among the different techniques used to produce biodiesel, the transesterification process is currently the preferred method. The conventional transesterification process is based on acid-base catalysis, but this technique has many drawbacks including a requirement for high-purity feedstocks, and costly pre-treatment and downstream processes. A recent alternative process, using a supercritical alcohol (preferably methanol) without a catalyst, may offer some advantages. This process...

Lipid droplets (LDs) are intracellular organelles, which have long been ignored as passive aggregates of lipids. However, recent research firmly established LDs as dynamic structures, actively regulating energy storage and generating signalling molecules. Concomitant with unfolding the regulatory mechanisms of LDs, including the identification of LD-associated proteins, their functional importance is increasingly being recognised in various pathologies such as metabolic diseases and cancer. Early embryogenesis is a tightly orchestrated process, often investigated through in vitro...

Computers have revolutionised modern medicine over the last two decades, with the advent of electronic health records and digital imaging. However, it has been difficult to develop computer programs which can assist doctors in interpreting these data. The traditional approach of programming a computer with an algorithm works well for simple decision making on low-dimensional data such as a series of blood tests. However, for highly complex data such as X-rays, echocardiography and magnetic resonance...

OSA in children is now recognised as a common health problem with an estimated prevalence of up to 5.7% and an associated with delayed growth and development, cardiovascular consequences and metabolic disorders. The role that CD4+ T-cells play in the pathology has been demonstrated with higher peripheral Th17 and lower Treg cell counts in adults and children with confirmed OSA suggesting a T-cell driven inflammatory basis to the underlying pathology. Links have therefore been proposed...

Besides being lightweight, flexible and cheap, one of the major attractions of plastic electronics is that they can be chemically modified to cater a broad range of applications. By changing the chemical structures of the molecule, the physical properties and in turn the device performance of the materials can be tuned accordingly. Though there are limited systematic ways to precisely determine the behaviour of an organic semiconductor based on its structure, chemists have learned to...
