Current status of cystic echinococcosis control in the Falkland Islands: has elimination been achieved? (2023)
Journal Article
West, D., Pointing, S., Randhawa, H., Mastin, A., & Rogan, M. (2023). Current status of cystic echinococcosis control in the Falkland Islands: has elimination been achieved?. Parasitology, 150(5),

Attempts to control cystic echinococcosis (CE) caused by Echinococcus granulosus in the Falkland Islands have been ongoing for over 50 years. No human cases have been recorded since the 1980s but there is a need to establish if the parasite has been...

Noise interfere on feeding behaviour but not on food preference of saffron finches (Sicalis flaveola) (2023)
Journal Article
Duarte, R. H. L., de Oliveira Passos, M. F., Beirão, M. V., Midamegbe, A., Young, R. J., & de Azevedo, C. S. (2023). Noise interfere on feeding behaviour but not on food preference of saffron finches (Sicalis flaveola). Behavioural Processes, 206, 104844. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.beproc.2023.104844

Noise pollution exerts negative well-being effects on animals, especially for captive individuals. A decrease in feeding, reproduction, attention, and an increase in stress are examples of negative effects of noise pollution on animals. Noise polluti...

Baseline distribution of petroleum hydrocarbon contamination in the marine environment around the coastline of Qatar (2023)
Journal Article
Al-Shamary, N., Hasan, H., Leitão, A., Hutchinson, S., Mondal, D., & Bayen, S. (2023). Baseline distribution of petroleum hydrocarbon contamination in the marine environment around the coastline of Qatar. Marine Pollution Bulletin, 188, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpolbul.2023.114655

Levels of organic contaminants (TPHs, PAHs) were simultaneously determined in both abiotic (sediments, seawater) and biotic (Pinctada radiata oysters) samples at four sites along the coastline of Qatar (Arabian Gulf) in 2017-2018. TPHs and PAHs were... Read More about Baseline distribution of petroleum hydrocarbon contamination in the marine environment around the coastline of Qatar.

A survey of environmental performance enhancement strategies and building data capturing techniques in the Nigerian context (2023)
Journal Article
Nigerian context. Buildings, 13(2), 452. https://doi.org/10.3390/buildings13020452

Abstract: The need to improve the performance of Nigeria’s office buildings is due to, energy challenges, increasing population, changing user needs, and climate change. With the expansion of several Nigerian cities, existing buildings constitute a...

Aspects of microbial communities in peatland carbon cycling under changing climate and land use pressures (2023)
Journal Article
Robinson, C., Ritson, J., Alderson, D., Malik, A., Heinemeyer, A., Gallago-Sala, A., …Evans, M. (2023). Aspects of microbial communities in peatland carbon cycling under changing climate and land use pressures

Globally, major efforts are being made to restore peatlands to maximise their resilience to anthropogenic climate change, which puts continuous pressure on peatland ecosystems and modifies the geography of the environmental envelope that underpins pe...

Can acoustic design accommodate aural diversity? (2023)
Journal Article
Davies, W. (2023). Can acoustic design accommodate aural diversity?. NOISE-CON proceedings, 8, 5064-5071. https://doi.org/10.3397/IN_2022_0732

Up to now, the acoustic design of almost everything has assumed a typical listener with "normal" hearing. This includes the physical environment (homes, workplaces, public space), products that make sound (transport, appliances, loudspeakers), and sy...

A comparison between the high-frequency Boundary Element Method and Surface-Based Geometrical Acoustics (2023)
Journal Article
Hargreaves, J. (2023). A comparison between the high-frequency Boundary Element Method and Surface-Based Geometrical Acoustics. https://doi.org/10.3397/in_2022_1005

The audible frequency range covers many octaves in which the wavelength changes from being large with respect to dominant features of a space to being comparatively much smaller. This makes numerical prediction of a space's acoustic response, e.g. fo... Read More about A comparison between the high-frequency Boundary Element Method and Surface-Based Geometrical Acoustics.
