Journal Article
Ammasai Sengodan, G., Maheshwari, M., Joshi, S., Chen, Z., Asundi, A., & Tjin, S. (2016). In-situ measurement and numerical simulation of resin pressure during Glass/Epoxy prepreg composite manufacturing. Measurement, 94, 505-514. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.measurement.2016.08.028

Resin pressure distribution of a curing Glass/Epoxy prepreg lay-up is the key parameter that controls the strength, stiffness and void nucleation of the cured composite part. It is vital to monitor and control the resin movement of curing laminate to...

Urban regeneration and civic economics : a community-led approach in Boston and Naples (2016)
Journal Article
Esposito De Vita, G., Trillo, C., & Oppido, S. (2016). Urban regeneration and civic economics : a community-led approach in Boston and Naples

Although the seeds of a communitarian oriented thinking date back to the 19th century, it was in the 1980s that a group of political philosophers started to challenge systematically the individualist liberalism prevailing at that time. The initia... Read More about Urban regeneration and civic economics : a community-led approach in Boston and Naples.

The soil microbiome at the Gi-FACE experiment responds to a moisture gradient but not to CO2 enrichment (2016)
Journal Article
De Menezes, A., Müller, C., Clipson, N., & Doyle, E. (2016). The soil microbiome at the Gi-FACE experiment responds to a moisture gradient but not to CO2 enrichment. Microbiology, 162, 1572-1582. https://doi.org/10.1099/mic.0.000341

The soil bacterial community at the Giessen free-air CO2 enrichment (Gi-FACE) experiment was analysed by tag-sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene. No substantial effects of CO2 levels on bacterial community composition were detected. However, the soil moi...

Changing expression of vertebrate immunity genes in an anthropogenic environment: a controlled experiment (2016)
Journal Article
experiment. BMC Evolutionary Biology, 16(175), https://doi.org/10.1186/s12862-016-0751-8

Background: The effect of anthropogenic environments on the function of the vertebrate immune system is a problem of general importance. For example, it relates to the increasing rates of immunologically-based disease in modern human populations and...

The differential hormonal milieu of morning versus evening, may have an impact on muscle hypertrophic potential (2016)
Journal Article
Burley, S., Whittingham-Dowd, J., Allen, J., Grosset, J., & Onambele-Pearson, G. (2016). The differential hormonal milieu of morning versus evening, may have an impact on muscle hypertrophic potential. PLoS ONE, 11(9), e0161500. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0161500

Substantial gains in muscle strength and hypertrophy are clearly associated with the routine performance of resistance training. What is less evident is the optimal timing of the resistance training stimulus to elicit these significant functional and...
