Evaluating the ecotoxicity of agropesticides and environmental water contaminants using cell-line and zebrafish embryonic assays by Tan, Roy Zi Hao

“…The results showed that the pesticides tested exhibited acute lethality and sublethal effects on the model organisms tested, albeit some to a lesser extent than previously reported findings on single active compounds. Our findings also revealed challenges in using a single broad-spectrum solid-phase extraction method to retain pesticide analytes due to their chemical complexity. …”

Development and characterization of collagen type I and hyaluronic acid (HA) based interlaced scaffolds for tissue engineered heart valves (TEHVS) by Nazir, R

“…While evaluated against the criterion for tissue engineered heart valve (TEHV), S-3 and S-4 among interlaced scaffolds/compositions not only matched mechanically but also showed high degradation resistance which potentially made them as '<b>close-fit</b>' candidates. Findings from this thesis indicated that collagen/HA interlaced scaffolds have the potential to fill in the niche for designing an ideal TEHV. …”
