For the potential applications in ferroelectric switching and piezoelectric nano-generator device, the promising ferroelectric properties of two dimensional (2D) layered In2Se3 attracted much attention. In the present study, 2D In2Se3 flakes down to monolayers are grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique on mica substrate with the structural, optical and ferroelectric properties being studied. The effect of growth parameter (time of growth and Ar flow rate) on the shape and size of the deposited flakes...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the seventh most common malignancy in the world, can cause deaths of approximately 780,000 patients each year. Although a large number of studies have been conducted for a long time, the current treatment level of HCC is very limited, and many treatments are only effective for early HCC. However, most HCC are diagnosed in the advanced stage. Usually, patients with advanced stage have extrahepatic metastasis. This metastasis is not a random process....

Diabetic Nephropathy (DN), one of the most common microvascular complication of diabetes, is a serious public health concern all over the world. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are more than 200 nucleotides in length and play roles in various biological pathways, such as inflammation, cell senesce and apoptosis. On this basis, my research direction is about to explore the role of lncRNA Nuclear Enriched Abundant Transcript 1 (NEAT1) in diabetic nephropathy and to find new therapeutic...

The human H3N2 influenza viruses was introduced into the human population in 1968 as a novel pandemic virus that emerged through genetic reassortment between human H2N2 and avian influenza virus of H3 subtype. A switch in receptor binding specificity is a critical step for influenza interspecies transmission, as avian influenza viruses typically recognize alpha 2, 3-linked sialiosides while human influenza viruses recognize alpha 2,6-linked sialosides. Further, the receptor binding domain (RBD) that mediates binding to...

Breastfeeding provides optimal nutrients for infants and is one of the most important public health issues. Globally, breastfeeding initiation rates are high with around 95% of all infants receiving some breastmilk. Over the past two decades, the mode of breastfeeding has been evolving and an increasing number of mothers are now choosing to feed their infant by expressed breast milk rather than directly at the breast. However, only few recent studies have described the rates...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the deadliest cancers across the globe. Patients are usually diagnosed at advanced stage. Presence of microvascular metastasis, oversized tumor burden and insufficient liver remnant reduce the feasibility to surgical and local ablative treatment modalities. Besides, high propensity of tumor recurrence and metastasis increase the level of challenge in eliminating HCC. As a matter of fact, targeted therapy confers survival benefits to HCC patients in late phase. In this regard,...

Following spinal cord injury, the majority of macrophages are polarised to the pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype, contributing to secondary injury. This study aims to find ways to manipulate macrophage polarisation to the M2 phenotype to facilitate recovery from spinal cord injury. Dataset includes Western blot analysis, RT-PCR, IHC and ICC experiments from animal and cell culture models.

In the recent years, different forms of new technologies, such as robots and artificial intelligence, have entered into our lives. Although behavioral scientists have started to investigate this phenomena, scholarly research in this field is still at an early stage. This thesis aims to advance our understanding on human interaction with technologies in business contexts. Prior work has suggested the benefits of equipping robots with humanlike features in non-competitive contexts. Extending this, essay 1 examines...

The dataset recorded the air pressure of the robotic glove during training of each participates.

The dataset contains a Data Management Plan, a readme file and 5 ipynb files. The ipynb files are python scripts that can be opened using IPython 3.0 or Jupyter Notebook, which performs numerical simulations to generate data for Chapter 4 in the thesis. The readme file provides details of the software and how the scripts can be read.

The dataset was constructed from the results of mouse experiments. The files with prefix ‘chapter 2’ were the data of embryo development, blastocyst attachment assay and implantation site number after blastocyst transfer. The files with prefix ‘chapter 3’ were the data record of mouse body weight, litter size, pregnancy outcomes, estrus cycle and steroid hormone level of female mice after chronical low-dose bisphenol exposure. This dataset also includes the results files of ovary follicle counting,...

Sport injury is one of the leading causes of injury among youth. The medical and economic burdens for sport injury are always being overlooked. Injury may not only lead to temporary impairment of sport performance and absence from sport, but it can also result in early retirement from competitive sport, lower future commitment to physical activity and prolonged recovery when following a rehabilitation programme. Sport injury prevention strategies and rehabilitation programmes have been developed to...
