Building BORIS – an outreach project on drug design and molecular modelling (2017)
Journal Article
Rossington, S. (2017). Building BORIS – an outreach project on drug design and molecular modelling. ˜The œbiochemist (London. Online), 39(2), 50-51. https://doi.org/10.1042/bio03902050

Within university chemistry departments, organic chemists are formulating reaction pathways which will yield a desired chemical product. In most cases, it is often found that the targeted product exerts some beneficial biological effect towards cellu...

A survey on the security of stateful SDN data planes (2017)
Journal Article
Dargahi, T., Caponi, A., Ambrosin, M., Bianchi, G., & Conti, M. (2017). A survey on the security of stateful SDN data planes. Communications Surveys and Tutorials, IEEE Communications Society, 19(3), 1701-1725. https://doi.org/10.1109/COMST.2017.2689819

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) emerged as an attempt to introduce network innovations faster, and to radically simplify and automate the management of large networks. SDN traditionally leverages OpenFlow as device-level abstraction. Since OpenFlo... Read More about A survey on the security of stateful SDN data planes.

Maturity Matrix Assessment: evaluation of energy efficiency strategies in Brussels historic residential stock (2017)
Journal Article
Gonzalez, A., Zotano, M., Swan, W., Bouillard, P., & Elkadi, H. (2017). Maturity Matrix Assessment: evaluation of energy efficiency strategies in Brussels historic residential stock. Energy Procedia, 1(111), 407-416. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egypro.2017.03.202

Energy retrofitting of historic or existing buildings is a challenge that it has not yet been properly fully addressed. Multiple projects and methodologies are published every day but neither of them with the holistic approach that will assure comple...

Risk-based management of invading plant disease (2017)
Journal Article
Hyatt-Twynam, S., Parnell, S., Stutt, R., Gottwald, T., Gilligan, C., & Cunniffe, N. (2017). Risk-based management of invading plant disease. New Phytologist, 214(3), 1317-1329. https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.14488

Effective control of plant disease remains a key challenge. Eradication attempts often involve removal of host plants within a certain radius of detection, targeting asymptomatic infection. Here we develop and test potentially more effective, epidemi... Read More about Risk-based management of invading plant disease.

Toll-like receptor variation in the bottlenecked population of the Seychelles warbler : computer simulations see the ‘ghost of selection past’ and quantify the ‘drift debt’ (2017)
Journal Article
Gilroy, D., Phillips, K., Richardson, D., & van Oosterhout, C. (2017). Toll-like receptor variation in the bottlenecked population of the Seychelles warbler : computer simulations see the ‘ghost of selection past’ and quantify the ‘drift debt’. Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 30(7), 1276-1287. https://doi.org/10.1111/jeb.13077

Balancing selection can maintain immunogenetic variation within host populations, but detecting its signal in a postbottlenecked population is challenging due to the potentially overriding effects of drift. Toll-like receptor genes (TLRs) play a fund...
