Understanding Visual Concepts Across Models Open

Brandon Trabucco, Max Gurinas, Kyle G. Doherty, Ruslan Salakhutdinov · 2024

Large multimodal models such as Stable Diffusion can generate, detect, and classify new visual concepts after fine-tuning just a single word embedding. Do models learn similar words for the same concepts (i.e. = orange + cat)? We conduct a…

Leafy Spurge Dataset: Real-world Weed Classification Within Aerial Drone Imagery Open

Kyle G. Doherty, Max Gurinas, Erik Samsoe, Charles Casper, Beau Larkin , et al. · 2024

Invasive plant species are detrimental to the ecology of both agricultural and wildland areas. Euphorbia esula, or leafy spurge, is one such plant that has spread through much of North America from Eastern Europe. When paired with contempo…

Antimicrobial Effect of Nitric Oxide Releasing Hydrogels on Staphylococcus Aureus Derived Proteases (Adv. Mater. Interfaces 15/2023) Open

Robert C. Deller, Man Li, Kyle G. Doherty, Jenny Aveyard, Rachel Williams , et al. · 2023

Wound Healing Skin disorders or injuries can weaken its barrier function, making a wound vulnerable to bacterial infection. Bacteria secrete proteases that disrupt the barrier integrity, delaying wound healing. In article 2202472, Robert D…

Antimicrobial Effect of Nitric Oxide Releasing Hydrogels on Staphylococcus Aureus Derived Proteases Open

Robert C. Deller, Man Li, Kyle G. Doherty, Jenny Aveyard, Rachel Williams , et al. · 2023

The skin serves as a crucial barrier against environmental insults and invading pathogens. However, traumatic injury or skin disorder can compromise this barrier function, leasing to bacterial colonization and infection of the wound with m…

Effective Data Augmentation With Diffusion Models Open

Brandon Trabucco, Kyle G. Doherty, Max Gurinas, Ruslan Salakhutdinov · 2023

Data augmentation is one of the most prevalent tools in deep learning, underpinning many recent advances, including those from classification, generative models, and representation learning. The standard approach to data augmentation combi…

Antimicrobial Nitric Oxide-Releasing Electrospun Dressings for Wound Healing Applications Open

Man Li, Jenny Aveyard, Kyle G. Doherty, Robert C. Deller, Rachel Williams , et al. · 2022

Nonhealing and chronic wounds represent a major problem for the quality of life of patients and have cost implications for healthcare systems. The pathophysiological mechanisms that prevent wound healing are usually multifactorial and rela…

Characterization of Tunable Poly‐ε‐Lysine‐Based Hydrogels for Corneal Tissue Engineering Open

Rebecca Lace, Georgia L. Duffy, Andrew Gallagher, Kyle G. Doherty, Osama Maklad , et al. · 2021

A family of poly‐ ε ‐lysine hydrogels can be synthesized by crosslinking with bis‐carboxylic acids using carbodiimide chemistry. In addition to creating hydrogels using a simple cast method, a fragmented method is used to introduce increas…

Multivalent Presentations of Glycomimetic Inhibitor of the Adhesion of Fungal Pathogen Candida albicans to Human Buccal Epithelial Cells Open

Harlei Martin, David Goyard, Anatte Margalit, Kyle G. Doherty, Olivier Renaudet , et al. · 2021

Candida albicans causes some of the most prevalent hospital-acquired fungal infections, particularly threatening for immunocompromised patients. C. albicans strongly adheres to the surface of epithelial cells so that subseque…

Material Characterisation and Stratification of Conjunctival Epithelial Cells on Electrospun Poly(ε-Caprolactone) Fibres Loaded with Decellularised Tissue Matrices Open

Lucy A. Bosworth, Kyle G. Doherty, James Hsuan, Samuel P. Cray, Raechelle A. D’Sa , et al. · 2021

The conjunctiva, an under-researched yet incredibly important tissue, plays key roles in providing protection to the eye and maintaining homeostasis of its ocular surface. Multiple diseases can impair conjunctival function leading to sever…

Poly‐ε‐Lysine or Mel4 Antimicrobial Surface Modification on a Novel Peptide Hydrogel Bandage Contact Lens Open

Rebecca Lace, Kyle G. Doherty, Debarun Dutta, Mark Willcox, Rachel Williams · 2020

Microbial keratitis (MK) is a serious issue in many countries and is often caused by contact lens wear. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a potentially useful tool for creating antimicrobial surfaces in light of increasing antibiotic resis…

Addition of poly-ε-lysine or Mel4 peptides to contact lenses provides antimicrobial activity Open

Rebecca Lace, Kyle G. Doherty, Debarun Dutta, Mark Willcox, Rachel Williams · 2019

Identifying Surfaces for ex vivo expansion of conjunctiva Open

Kyle G. Doherty, Simon Dixon, Rachel Williams · 2019

Cover Picture: Plasma Process. Polym. 4/2019 Open

Kyle G. Doherty, Jun‐Seok Oh, P. Unsworth, Carl Sheridan, P. Weightman , et al. · 2019

Front Cover: To quickly and cheaply create spatially-defined chemical patterns on surfaces will be beneficial in many fields, including biomaterials, and may be achieved with plasma polymerization using atmospheric-pressure plasma jets (AP…

Plasma polymerization using helium atmospheric‐pressure plasma jet with heptylamine monomer Open

Kyle G. Doherty, Jun‐Seok Oh, P. Unsworth, Carl Sheridan, P. Weightman , et al. · 2019

Atmospheric‐pressure plasma jets can be used to modify surfaces in a spatially‐defined manner. Operating these jets in air is an efficient surface modification tool, however the resulting surface chemistries are limited by the plasma gases…

Biomaterials for Regenerative Medicine Approaches for the Anterior Segment of the Eye Open

Rachel Williams, Rebecca Lace, Stephnie M. Kennedy, Kyle G. Doherty, Hannah J. Levis · 2018

The role of biomaterials in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine strategies to treat vision loss associated with damage to tissues in the anterior segment of the eye has been studied for several years. This has mostly involved repl…
