Mixed-cropping between field pea varieties alters root bacterial and fungal communities (2019)
Journal Article
Horner, A., Browett, S., & Antwis, R. (2019). Mixed-cropping between field pea varieties alters root bacterial and fungal communities. Scientific reports, 9(16953), https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-53342-8

Modern agricultural practices have vastly increased crop production but negatively affected soil health. As such, there is a call to develop sustainable, ecologically-viable approaches to food production. Mixed-cropping of plant varieties can increas...

Journal Article
Belguith, S., Kaaniche, N., Hammoudeh, M., & Dargahi, T. (2020). PROUD : verifiable privacy-preserving outsourced attribute based signcryption supporting access policy update for cloud assisted IoT applications. Future Generation Computer Systems, 111, 899-918. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.future.2019.11.012

The ever-growing number of Internet connected devices poses several cybersecurity risks. Most of the exchanged data between the
Internet of Things (IoT) devices are not adequately secured due to resource constraints on IoT devices. Attribute Based... Read More about PROUD : verifiable privacy-preserving outsourced attribute based signcryption supporting access policy update for cloud assisted IoT applications.

An affordable methodology for quantifying waterborne microplastics - an emerging contaminant in inland-waters (2019)
Journal Article
Dunn, C., Owens, J., Fears, L., Nunnerley, L., Kirby, J., Armstrong, O., …Freeman, C. (2020). An affordable methodology for quantifying waterborne microplastics - an emerging contaminant in inland-waters. Journal of Limnology, 79(1), https://doi.org/10.4081/jlimnol.2019.1943

The occurrence of microplastics in marine habitats is well documented and of growing concern. The presence of these small (<5 mm) pieces of plastic is less well recorded in inland water systems. In this paper, we determine a cost-efficient and straig...

Biochemical performance modelling of non-vegetated and vegetated vertical subsurface-flow constructed wetlands treating municipal wastewater in hot and dry climate (2019)
Journal Article
Rahi, M., Faisal, A., Naji, L., Almuktar, S., Abed, S., & Scholz, M. (2020). Biochemical performance modelling of non-vegetated and vegetated vertical subsurface-flow constructed wetlands treating municipal wastewater in hot and dry climate. Journal of Water Process Engineering, 33, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jwpe.2019.101003

Wastewater treatment and subsequent effluent recycling for non-drinking purposes such as irrigation contributes to the mitigation of the pressure on freshwater resources. In this study, two vertical sub-surface flow constructed wetland (VSSF-CW) pilo...

Extremes in Benthic ecosystem services; blue carbon natural capital shallower than 1000 m in isolated, small, and young Ascension Island’s EEZ (2019)
Journal Article
Barnes, D., Sands, C., Richardson, A., & Smith, N. (2019). Extremes in Benthic ecosystem services; blue carbon natural capital shallower than 1000 m in isolated, small, and young Ascension Island’s EEZ. Frontiers in Marine Science, 6, https://doi.org/10.3389/fmars.2019.00663

Biodiversity tends to decrease with increasing isolation and reduced habitat size, and increase with habitat age. Ascension Island and its seamounts are small, isolated and relatively young, yet harbor patchily dense life. Large areas of these waters...

Isotropic silicon etch characteristics in a purely inductively coupled SF6 plasma (2019)
Journal Article
Panduranga, P., Abdou, A., Ren, Z., H. Pedersen, R., & P. Nezhad, M. (2019). Isotropic silicon etch characteristics in a purely inductively coupled SF6 plasma. Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology B, 37(6), https://doi.org/10.1116/1.5116021

The characteristics of isotropic etching of silicon in a purely inductively coupled SF plasma are quantitatively studied. Since the etch results are strongly dependent on mask features, the authors investigated both large area and narrow trench etch...
