The rise in emerging pathogens and strains has led to increased calls for more effective surveillance in plant health. We show how epidemiological insights about the dynamics of disease spread can improve the targeting of when and where to sample. We...

The low-Reynolds number environment of high-altitude flight places severe demands on the aerodynamic design and stability and control of a high altitude, long endurance unmanned air vehicle (HALE UAV). The aerodynamic efficiency of a flying-wing conf... Read More about Design of a high altitude long endurance flying-wing solar-powered unmanned air vehicle.

A review of camera trapping for conservation behaviour research (2017)
Journal Article
Caravaggi, A., Banks, P., Burton, A., Finlay, C., Haswell, P., Hayward, M., …Sollmann, R. (2017). A review of camera trapping for conservation behaviour research. Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 3(3), 109-122. https://doi.org/10.1002/rse2.48

An understanding of animal behaviour is important if conservation initiatives are to be effective. However, quantifying the behaviour of wild animals presents significant challenges. Remote-sensing camera traps are becoming increasingly popular surve... Read More about A review of camera trapping for conservation behaviour research.

Design of a variable stiffness soft dexterous gripper (2017)
Journal Article

The use of live animal gamma radioisotope tracer techniques in the field of ecotoxicology allows laboratory studies to accurately monitor contaminant biokinetics in real time for an individual organism. However, methods used in published studies for... Read More about Aquatic live animal radiotracing studies for ecotoxicological applications : addressing fundamental methodological deficiencies.

Systolic [Ca2+ ]i regulates diastolic levels in rat ventricular myocytes (2017)
Journal Article
Sankaranarayanan, R., Kistamas, K., Greensmith, D., Venetucci, L., & Eisner, D. (2017). Systolic [Ca2+ ]i regulates diastolic levels in rat ventricular myocytes. Journal of Physiology, 595(16), 5545-5555. https://doi.org/10.1113/JP274366

[Ca2+]i must be low enough in diastole so that the ventricle is relaxed and can refill with blood. Interference with this will impair relaxation. The factors responsible for regulation of diastolic [Ca2+]i, in particular the relative roles of the sar... Read More about Systolic [Ca2+ ]i regulates diastolic levels in rat ventricular myocytes.
