Electrothermal transport in biological systems : an analytical approach for electrokinetically-modulated peristaltic flow (2017)
Journal Article
Tripathi, D., Sharma, A., Beg, O., & Tiwari, A. (2017). Electrothermal transport in biological systems : an analytical approach for electrokinetically-modulated peristaltic flow. Journal of Thermal Science and Engineering Applications, 9(4), https://doi.org/10.1115/1.4036803

A mathematical model is developed to investigate the combined viscous electro-osmotic flow and heat transfer in a finite length micro-channel with peristaltic wavy walls. The influence of Joule heating is included. The unsteady two-dimensional conser...

A genetically-informed population viability analysis reveals conservation priorities for an isolated population of Hyla arborea (2017)
Journal Article
Kirchhoff, J., Krug, A., Pröhl, H., & Jehle, R. (2017). A genetically-informed population viability analysis reveals conservation priorities for an isolated population of Hyla arborea. Salamandra (Frankfurt), 53(2), 171-182

Population Viability Analysis (PVA) is a commonly used tool to predict the fate of endangered populations. However, although amphibians are the most endangered group of vertebrates, PVAs have so far been underrepresented in their conservation managem...
