Journal Article
Mondal, D., Periche, R., Tineo, B., Bermejo, L., Rahman, M., Siddique, A., …Cruz, G. (2020). Arsenic in Peruvian rice cultivated in the major rice growing region of Tumbes river basin. Chemosphere, 241, 125070. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemosphere.2019.125070

Arsenic (As) exposure from surface and groundwater in Peru is being recognised as a 16 potential threat but there are limited studies on As in the food-chain and none on As in 17 Peruvian rice. In this study, we have determined the As content in rice... Read More about Arsenic in Peruvian rice cultivated in the major rice growing region of Tumbes river basin.

MAT Seroprevalence infers low rates of Toxoplasma gondii in domestic pigs from Yucatan, Mexico (2019)
Journal Article
Cubas-Atienzar, A., Hide, G., & Smith, J. (2019). MAT Seroprevalence infers low rates of Toxoplasma gondii in domestic pigs from Yucatan, Mexico. Journal of Parasitology, 105(5), 738-747. https://doi.org/10.1645/18-188

Toxoplasma gondii is a zoonotic parasite of worldwide distribution. The consumption of infected pork meat has been suggested to be an important source for human infection in the tropical area of Yucatan, Mexico. We performed a cross-sectional study o...

Perturbation and numerical study of double-diffusive dissipative reactive convective flow in an open vertical duct containing a non-darcy porous medium with robin boundary conditions (2019)
Journal Article
Umavathi, J., & Beg, O. (2019). Perturbation and numerical study of double-diffusive dissipative reactive convective flow in an open vertical duct containing a non-darcy porous medium with robin boundary conditions. Journal of Engineering Mathematics, 119, 135-147. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10665-019-10022-w

A mathematical model for thermosolutal convection flow in an open two-dimensional vertical channel containing a porous medium saturated with reactive Newtonian fluid is developed and studied. Robin boundary conditions are prescribed, and a first-orde...

Not going with the flow : locomotor activity does not constrain immunity in a wild fish (2019)
Journal Article
Masud, N., Synnott, R., Hablützel, P., Friberg, I., Cable, J., & Jackson, J. (2019). Not going with the flow : locomotor activity does not constrain immunity in a wild fish. Ecology and Evolution, 9(21), 12089-12098. https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.5658

Immunity is a central component of fitness in wild animals, but its determinants are poorly understood. In particular, the importance of locomotory activity as a constraint on immunity is unresolved. Using a piscine model (Gasterosteus aculeatus) we... Read More about Not going with the flow : locomotor activity does not constrain immunity in a wild fish.
