Gaze following in an asocial reptile (Eublepharis macularius) (2018)
Journal Article

Gaze following is the ability to utilise information from another's gaze. It is most often seen in a social context or as a reflexive response to interesting external stimuli. Social species can potentially reveal utilisable knowledge about another's... Read More about Gaze following in an asocial reptile (Eublepharis macularius).

Measuring and modelling retrofit fabric performance in solid wall conjoined dwellings (2018)
Journal Article
Farmer, D., Parker, J., Johnston, D., Fletcher, M., Thomas, F., Gorse, C., & Stenlund, S. (2019). Measuring and modelling retrofit fabric performance in solid wall conjoined dwellings. Energy and Buildings, 185, 49-65. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2018.12.010

There remains a significant number of occupied and uninsulated solid wall dwellings in the UK. Deep retrofit is often required for these buildings to become energy efficient but it is difficult to determine how these buildings will respond to retrofi...

Journal Article
Fiorillo, M., Sanchez-Alvarez, R., Sotgia, F., & Lisanti, M. (2018). The ER-alpha mutation Y537S confers Tamoxifen-resistance via enhanced mitochondrial metabolism, glycolysis and Rho-GDI/PTEN signaling : implicating TIGAR in somatic resistance to endocrine therapy. Aging, 10(12), 4000-4023. https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.101690

Naturally-occurring somatic mutations in the estrogen receptor gene (ESR1) have been previously implicated in the clinical development of resistance to hormonal therapies, such as Tamoxifen. For example, the somatic mutation Y537S has been specifical...

Effect of confinement on the bearing capacity and settlement of spread foundations (2018)
Journal Article
settlement of spread foundations. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.2021831

Allowable-bearing capacity is the competency of soil to safely carries the pressure from the superstructure without experiencing a shear failure with accompanying excessive settlements. Ensuring a safe bearing pressure with respect to failure does no... Read More about Effect of confinement on the bearing capacity and settlement of spread foundations.

Predicted distribution and habitat loss for the endangered black-faced black spider monkey Ateles chamek in the Amazon (2018)
Journal Article
Rabelo, R., Gonçalves, J., Silva, F., Rocha, D., Canale, G., Bernardo, C., & Boubli, J. (2020). Predicted distribution and habitat loss for the endangered black-faced black spider monkey Ateles chamek in the Amazon. Oryx, 54(5), 699-705. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0030605318000522

The rate of deforestation in the Amazon is increasing. Predictive models estimate that as a result of agricultural expansion 40% of these forests will be lost by 2050. As a consequence the habitat of forest-dwelling species such as the Endangered bla...
