This paper investigates sound propagation in multiscale rigid-frame porous materials that support mass transfer processes, such as sorption and different types of diffusion, in addition to the usual visco-thermo-inertial interactions. The two-scale a... Read More about Acoustics of multiscale sorptive porous materials.

On the relationship between continuous measures of canopy greenness derived using near-surface remote sensing and satellite-derived vegetation products (2017)
Journal Article

Ecological and evolutionary consequences of alternative sex-change pathways in fish (2017)
Journal Article
Benvenuto, C., Coscia, I., Chopelet, J., Sala-Bozano, M., & Mariani, S. (2017). Ecological and evolutionary consequences of alternative sex-change pathways in fish. Scientific reports, 7(9804), https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-017-09298-8

Sequentially hermaphroditic fish change sex from male to female (protandry) or vice versa (protogyny), increasing their fitness by becoming highly fecund females or large dominant males, respectively. These life-history strategies present different s... Read More about Ecological and evolutionary consequences of alternative sex-change pathways in fish.

Differential effects of low-molecular-weight organic acids on the mobilization of soil-borne arsenic and trace metals (2017)
Journal Article
arsenic and trace metals. Toxics, 5(3), https://doi.org/10.3390/toxics5030018

A batch experiment was conducted to examine the effects of six low-molecular-weight organic acids on the mobilization of arsenic and trace metals from a range of contaminated soils. The results showed that the organic acids behaved differently when r...

Purpose Adequate reliable property market data are critical to the production of professional and ethical valuations as well as better real estate transaction decision-making. However, the availability of reliable property market information repres... Read More about Sources and reliability of property market information for property valuation practice in Ghana.

Finite element computation of multi-physical micropolar transport phenomena from an inclined moving plate in porous media (2017)
Journal Article
Shamshuddin, M., Beg, O., Ram, M., & Kadir, A. (2017). Finite element computation of multi-physical micropolar transport phenomena from an inclined moving plate in porous media. Indian Journal of Physics, 92(2), 215-230. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12648-017-1095-y

Non-Newtonian flows arise in numerous industrial transport processes including materials fabrication systems. Micropolar theory offers an excellent mechanism for exploring the fluid dynamics of new non-Newtonian materials which possess internal micr...

From the animal house to the field : are there consistent individual differences in immunological profile in wild populations of field voles (Microtus agrestis)? (2017)
Journal Article
Arriero, E., Wanelik, K., Birtles, R., Bradley, J., Jackson, J., Paterson, S., & Begon, M. (2017). From the animal house to the field : are there consistent individual differences in immunological profile in wild populations of field voles (Microtus agrestis)?. PLoS ONE, 12(8), e0183450. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0183450

Inbred mouse strains, living in simple laboratory environments far removed from nature, have been shown to vary consistently in their immune response. However, wildlife populations are typically outbreeding and face a multiplicity of challenges, para...

Some monumental sites have unique soundscapes that deserve to be managed not only by their tourist and cultural value, but also for enhancing the visitors’ overall impression. These sites can include a multitude of sound sources within a variety of... Read More about Soundscape assessment of a monumental place : a methodology based on the perception of dominant sounds.

Gut microbiota of a long-distance migrant demonstrates resistance against environmental microbe incursions (2017)
Journal Article
