Investigating the persistence of tick-borne pathogens via the R0 model (2011)
Journal Article
Harrison, A., Montgomery, W., & Bown, K. (2011). Investigating the persistence of tick-borne pathogens via the R0 model. Parasitology, 138(07), 896-905. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0031182011000400

In the epidemiology of infectious diseases, the basic reproduction number,R0, has a number of important applications, most
notably it can be used to predict whether a pathogen is likely to become established, or persist, in a given area. We used the... Read More about Investigating the persistence of tick-borne pathogens via the R0 model.

Selecting critical patterns based on local geometrical and statistical information (2011)
Journal Article
Li, Y., & Maguire, L. (2011). Selecting critical patterns based on local geometrical and statistical information. IEEE transactions on pattern analysis and machine intelligence, 33(6), 1189-1201. https://doi.org/10.1109/TPAMI.2010.188

Pattern selection methods have been traditionally developed with a dependency on a specific classifier. In contrast this paper presents a method that selects critical patterns deemed to carry essential information applicable to train those types of c...

Modelling mechanical behaviour of rubber concrete using evolutionary polynomial regression (2011)
Journal Article
Ahangar‐Asr, A., Faramarzi, A., Javadi, A. A., & Giustolisi, O. (2011). Modelling mechanical behaviour of rubber concrete using evolutionary polynomial regression. Engineering Computations, 28(4), 492-507. https://doi.org/10.1108/02644401111131902

Using discarded tyre rubber as concrete aggregate is an effective solution to the environmental problems associated with disposal of this waste material. However, adding rubber as aggregate in concrete mixture changes, the mechanical properties of co...

Characterisation of chemically lithiated heat-treated electrolytic manganese dioxide (2011)
Journal Article
Dose, W., Lehr, J., & Donne, S. (2012). Characterisation of chemically lithiated heat-treated electrolytic manganese dioxide. Materials Research Bulletin, 47(7), 1827-1834. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.materresbull.2011.05.027

Heat treated manganese dioxide is partially lithiated using butyl-lithium to determine the changes in crystal structure, chemical composition and morphology upon reduction, as a means of simulating its discharge behaviour in a non-aqueous battery cat...

Negotiation of intracellular membrane barriers by TAT-Modified gold nanoparticles (2011)
Journal Article
Krpeticc, Z., Saleemi, S., Prior, I., Sée, V., Qureshi, R., & Brust, M. (2011). Negotiation of intracellular membrane barriers by TAT-Modified gold nanoparticles. ACS nano, 5(6), 5195-5201. https://doi.org/10.1021/nn201369k

This paper contributes to the debate on how nanosized objects negotiate membrane barriers inside biological cells. The uptake of peptide-modified gold nanoparticles by HeLa cells has been quantified using atomic emission spectroscopy. The TAT peptide...

Composição e abundância de peixes da interface entre as águas abertas e bancos de macrófitas e sua dinâmica nos períodos de crepúsculos matutino e vespertino, no lago Catalão, Amazonas, Brasil (Composition and abundance of fishes in the interface between open water and macrophyte banks, and the dynamics of this interface during morning and evening twilight, in lake Catalao, Amazonas, Brazil) (2011)
Journal Article
the dynamics of this interface during morning and evening twilight, in lake Catalao, Amazonas, Brazil). Biotemas, 24(2), https://doi.org/10.5007/2175-7925.2011v24n2p97

This work studied the composition and abundance of the fishes that move between macrophyte
banks and open water during the morning twilight (CM) and afternoon twilight (CV). The collections
were made using gillnets, along banks of Paspalum repens...

Extreme weather events and construction SMEs : vulnerability, impacts and responses (2011)
Journal Article
Wedawatta, G., Ingirige, B., Jones, K., & Proverbs, D. (2011). Extreme weather events and construction SMEs : vulnerability, impacts and responses. Structural survey, 29(2), 106-119. https://doi.org/10.1108/02630801111132795

Purpose: the UK experienced a number of Extreme Weather Events (EWEs) during recent years and a significant number of businesses were affected as a result. With the intensity and frequency of weather extremes predicted in the future, enhancing the re... Read More about Extreme weather events and construction SMEs : vulnerability, impacts and responses.
