Examining the state of public schools in the gas flaring areas of Nigeria (2017)
Journal Article
Ogbonda, U., & BICHARD, E. (2017). Examining the state of public schools in the gas flaring areas of Nigeria. Asian journal of science and technology, 08, 4574-4579

The Niger Delta region produces over 82.8% of the natural gas that is associated with oil production in Nigeria. Due to economic and political reasons, this gas is not retained for energy use. Instead, it is burned off in the air. The pollution cau... Read More about Examining the state of public schools in the gas flaring areas of Nigeria.

Personalized object-based audio for hearing impaired TV viewers (2017)
Journal Article
Shirley, B., Meadows, M., Malak, F., Woodcock, J., & Tidball, A. (2017). Personalized object-based audio for hearing impaired TV viewers. Journal of the Audio Engineering Society, 65(4), 293-303. https://doi.org/10.17743/jaes.2017.0005

Age demographics have led to an increase in the proportion of the population suffering from some form of hearing loss. The introduction of object-based audio to television broadcast has the potential to improve the viewing experience for millions o...

Do fungi need to be included within environmental radiation protection assessment models? (2017)
Journal Article
Guillén, J., Baeza, A., Beresford, N., & Wood, M. (2017). Do fungi need to be included within environmental radiation protection assessment models?. Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 175-6, 70-77. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvrad.2017.04.014

Fungi are used as biomonitors of forest ecosystems, having comparatively high uptakes of anthropogenic and naturally occurring radionuclides. However, whilst they are known to accumulate radionuclides they are not typically considered in radiological...
