We report a high-pressure study of monoclinic monazite-type SrCrO4 up to 26 GPa. Therein we combined x-ray diffraction, Raman, and optical-absorption measurements with ab initio calculations, to find a pressure-induced structural phase transition of...

Transactions of The Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 110(9), 551-557. https://doi.org/10.1093/trstmh/trw064

Background: Toxoplasma gondii is a parasite that causes significant disease in humans. Toxoplasmosis is normally asymptomatic, unless associated with congenital transmission, or in immunocompromised people. Congenital transmission generally occurs...

Does hydatid cyst fluid from Echinococcus granulosus cysts have any effect on cells involved in fibrosis in cystic echinococcosis? (2016)
Journal Article
Mohammed, A., Allen, J., & Rogan, M. (2016). Does hydatid cyst fluid from Echinococcus granulosus cysts have any effect on cells involved in fibrosis in cystic echinococcosis?. Journal of Parasitology and Bacteriology, 7(5), https://doi.org/10.4172/2155-9597.C1.023

Cystic echinococcosis is characterized by the presence of slow growing hydatid cysts, usually in the liver or lungs. Survival of the parasite is based on an interaction of the host immune system and a range of parasite immune-evasive strategies. Fibr...

Bio-inspired artemether loaded human serum albumin nanoparticles for effective control of malaria-infected erythrocytes (2016)
Journal Article

Background: The intra-erythrocytic development of the malarial parasite is dependent on active uptake of nutrients, including human serum albumin(HSA), into parasitized erythrocytes(pRBCs). We have designed HSA-based nanoparticles as a potential drug...

The rapid adoption of cloud computing by organizations has resulted in the transformation of the roles and responsibilities of staff in managing the information technology (IT) resources (via IT governance controls) that have migrated to the cloud. H... Read More about IT controls in the public cloud : success factors for allocation of roles and responsibilities.

Natural hazard risks on railway turnout systems (2016)
Journal Article

As an essential feature to enable rail operational flexibility, railway turnouts are special track systems used to divert a train from a particular direction or a particular track onto other directions or other tracks. Railway turnout is constructed... Read More about Natural hazard risks on railway turnout systems.

Quantitative considerations in medium energy ion scattering depth profiling analysis of nanolayers (2016)
Journal Article

Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section B: Beam Interactions with Materials and Atoms, 387, 77-85. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nimb.2016.10.004

The high depth resolution capability of medium energy ion scattering (MEIS) is becoming increasingly relevant to the characterisation of nanolayers in e.g. microelectronics. In this paper we examine the attainable quantitative accuracy of MEIS depth... Read More about Quantitative considerations in medium energy ion scattering depth profiling analysis of nanolayers.

Human brain harbors single nucleotide somatic variations in functionally relevant genes possibly mediated by oxidative stress (2016)
Journal Article
Sharma, A., Ansan, A., Kumari, R., Pandey, R., Rehman, R., Mehani, B., …Mukhopadhyay, A. (2017). Human brain harbors single nucleotide somatic variations in functionally relevant genes possibly mediated by oxidative stress. F1000Research, 5, 2520. https://doi.org/10.12688/f1000research.9495.3

Somatic variation in DNA can cause cells to deviate from the preordained genomic path in both disease and healthy conditions. Here, using exome sequencing of paired tissue samples, we show that the normal human brain harbors somatic single base va...
