A pulse radiolysis study of free radicals formed by one electron oxidation of the antimalarial drug pyronaridine (2009)
Journal Article
Ismail, F., Drew, M., Navaratnam, S., & Bisby, R. (2009). A pulse radiolysis study of free radicals formed by one electron oxidation of the antimalarial drug pyronaridine. Research on Chemical Intermediates, 35(4), 363-377. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11164-009-0051-7

Free radicals from one-electron oxidation of the antimalarial drug pyronaridine have been studied by pulse radiolysis. The results show that pyronaridine is readily oxidised to an intermediate semiiminoquine radical by inorganic and organic free radi...

The sizes of elephant groups in zoos: implications for animal welfare (2009)
Journal Article
Rees, P. (2009). The sizes of elephant groups in zoos: implications for animal welfare. Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science, 12(1), 44-60. https://doi.org/10.1080/10888700802536699

This study examined the distribution of 495 Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) and 336 African elephants (Loxodonta africana) in 194 zoos, most of which were located in Europe (49.1%) and North America (32.6%). Cows outnumbered bulls 4 to 1 (Loxodonta... Read More about The sizes of elephant groups in zoos: implications for animal welfare.

Activity budgets and the relationship between feeding and stereotypic behaviours in Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) in a zoo (2009)
Journal Article
Rees, P. (2009). Activity budgets and the relationship between feeding and stereotypic behaviours in Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) in a zoo. Zoo Biology, 28(2), 79-97. https://doi.org/10.1002/Zoo.20200

Activity budgets were studied in eight Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) at Chester Zoo (UK) for 35 days, between January and November 1999. Recordings were made between 10:00 and 16:00 hr (with most behavior frequencies calculated between 10:00 and...

Development of a species-specific coproantigen ELISA for human taenia solium taeniasis (2009)
Journal Article
Guezala, M., Rodriguez, S., Zamora, H., Garcia, H., Gonzalez, A., Tembo, A., …Craig, P. (2009). Development of a species-specific coproantigen ELISA for human taenia solium taeniasis. American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 81(3), 433-437

Taenia solium causes human neurocysticercosis and is endemic in underdeveloped countries where backyard pig keeping is common. Microscopic fecal diagnostic methods for human T. solium taeniasis are not very sensitive, and Taenia saginata and Taenia s...

Development and validation of a novel protein extraction methodology for quantitation of protein expression in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues using western blotting (2009)
Journal Article
Nirmalan, N., Harnden, P., Selby, P., & Banks, R. (2009). Development and validation of a novel protein extraction methodology for quantitation of protein expression in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues using western blotting. The Journal of pathology, 217(4), 497-506. https://doi.org/10.1002/path.2504

The development of efficient formaldehyde cross-link reversal strategies will make the vast diagnostic tissue archives of pathology departments amenable to prospective and retrospective translational research, particularly in biomarker-driven prote...

A peat profile record of recent environmental events in the South Pennines (UK) (2009)
Journal Article
Hutchinson, S., & Armitage, R. (2009). A peat profile record of recent environmental events in the South Pennines (UK). Water, Air, and Soil Pollution, 199(1-4), 247-259. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11270-008-9875-9

This study investigates the impact of accidental fires and the record of recent environmental change held within a long peat core taken on Burbage Moor in the south Pennines (UK). The core has been subjected to mineral magnetic, heavy metal (via... Read More about A peat profile record of recent environmental events in the South Pennines (UK).

Observation and modelling of variability in flow over complex terrain (2009)
Thesis
Barkwith, A. Observation and modelling of variability in flow over complex terrain. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

This thesis examines the way in which remote sensing instrumentation can be used to advance our understanding of the interactions between complex terrain and the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). When mean flow speed is of moderate strength and th... Read More about Observation and modelling of variability in flow over complex terrain.
