Bacterial colonies are spatially complex structures whose physiology is profoundly dependent on interactions between cells and with the underlying semi-solid substratum. Here, we use bacterial colonies as a model of a microbial community to evaluate...

Electroreductions on silver-based electrocatalysts : the use of Ag Nanoparticles for CHCl3to CH4Conversion (2009)
Journal Article
Rondinini, S., Aricci, G., Krpetic, Z., Locatelli, C., Minguzzi, A., Porta, F., & Vertova, A. (2009). Electroreductions on silver-based electrocatalysts : the use of Ag Nanoparticles for CHCl3to CH4Conversion. Fuel Cells, 9(3), 253-263. https://doi.org/10.1002/fuce.200800083

A preliminary investigation on a new class on electrocatalytic materials for the electroreduction of organic halides is presented and discussed. The electrocatalysts are based on silver nanoparticles (Ag_NP), ad hoc synthesised by chemical reduct...

Design strategy for low-energy ventilation and cooling of hospitals (2009)
Journal Article
Short, C., & Al-Maiyah, S. (2009). Design strategy for low-energy ventilation and cooling of hospitals. Building Research and Information, 37(3), 264-292. https://doi.org/10.1080/09613210902885156

What is the potential for incorporating low-energy ventilation and cooling strategies into the design of new hospitals? How would such strategies cope with a changing climate? Natural ventilation is promoted by the UK National Health Service (NHS) in... Read More about Design strategy for low-energy ventilation and cooling of hospitals.

Evolutionary algorithm for solving the inverse problem of finding the incident field on a high-aperture lens for generating a desired focused field (2009)
Journal Article
Massoumian, F., Alali, S., & Mansouri, T. (2009). Evolutionary algorithm for solving the inverse problem of finding the incident field on a high-aperture lens for generating a desired focused field. Optics Letters, 34(1), 67-69. https://doi.org/10.1364/OL.34.000067

Using a proposed evolutionary algorithm, we have solved the inverse problem of finding the incident field on a high-aperture lens for generating a desired focused field, for the first time (to our knowledge). Further, we have achieved the global solu...
