The effect of gas flare on the health of schoolchildren in the Niger delta area of Nigeria (2017)
Journal Article
Ogbonda, U., & Ji, Y. (2017). The effect of gas flare on the health of schoolchildren in the Niger delta area of Nigeria. International journal of humanities and social science research (Delhi), 3, 10-15

The proximity of schools to gas flaring sites and the use of simple ventilation systems in school buildings with currently no regulation or laid down blueprint during design and construction in an environment prone to adverse environmental hazards ca...

CloudMe forensics : a case of big-data investigation (2017)
Journal Article
Teing, Y., Dehghantanha, A., & Raymond Choo, K. (2017). CloudMe forensics : a case of big-data investigation. Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience, 30(5), https://doi.org/10.1002/cpe.4277

The significant increase in the volume, variety and velocity of data complicates cloud forensic efforts, as such big data will, at some point, become computationally expensive to be fully extracted and analyzed in a timely manner. Thus, it is importa... Read More about CloudMe forensics : a case of big-data investigation.

Mitochondrial markers predict survival and progression in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients : use as companion diagnostics (2017)
Journal Article
Sotgia, F., & Lisanti, M. (2017). Mitochondrial markers predict survival and progression in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients : use as companion diagnostics. Oncotarget, 8(40), 68095-68107. https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.19677

Here, we used an informatics-based approach to identify novel biomarkers of overall survival and tumor progression in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. We determined whether nuclear-encoded genes associated with mitochondrial biogenesis an...

Half the story : thermal effects on within-host infectious disease progression in a warming climate (2017)
Journal Article
Stewart, A., Hablutzel, P., Brown, M., Watson, H., Parker-Norman, S., Tober, A., …Jackson, J. (2018). Half the story : thermal effects on within-host infectious disease progression in a warming climate. Global Change Biology, 24(1), 371-386. https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.13842

Immune defence is temperature-dependent in cold-blooded vertebrates (CBVs) and thus directly impacted by global warming. We asked whether immunity and within-host infectious disease progression are altered in CBVs under realistic climate warming in a...

Development of a high-speed current injection and voltage measurement system for electrical impedance tomography-based stretchable sensors (2017)
Journal Article
Russo, S., Nefti-Meziani, S., Carbonaro, N., & Tognetti, A. (2017). Development of a high-speed current injection and voltage measurement system for electrical impedance tomography-based stretchable sensors. Technologies, 5(3), 48. https://doi.org/10.3390/technologies5030048

In common EIT systems, the voltage data are serially measured by means of multiplexers, and are hence collected at slightly different times, which affects the real-time performance of the system. They also tend to have complicated hardware, which inc...
