The skull of Epidolops ameghinoi from the early Eocene Itaboraí fauna, southeastern Brazil, and the affinities of the extinct marsupialiform order Polydolopimorphia (2016)
Journal Article

The skull of the polydolopimorphian marsupialiform Epidolops ameghinoi is described
in detail for the first time, based on a single well-preserved cranium and associated left
and right dentaries plus additional craniodental fragments, all from the... Read More about The skull of Epidolops ameghinoi from the early Eocene Itaboraí fauna, southeastern Brazil, and the affinities of the extinct marsupialiform order Polydolopimorphia.

Environmental and anthropogenic drivers of connectivity patterns : a basis for prioritizing conservation efforts for threatened populations (2016)
Journal Article

Ecosystem fragmentation and habitat loss have been the focus of landscape management due to restrictions on contemporary connectivity and dispersal of populations. Here, we used an individual approach to determine the drivers of genetic differentiati...

Disulfide-activated protein kinase G Iα regulates cardiac diastolic relaxation and fine-tunes the Frank–Starling response (2016)
Journal Article

The Frank–Starling mechanism allows the amount of blood entering the heart from the veins to be precisely matched with the amount pumped out to the arterial circulation. As the heart fills with blood during diastole, the myocardium is stretched and o...

Wind turbine AM review: Phase 2 report (2016)
Report
Perkins, R., & Lotinga, M. (2016). Wind turbine AM review: Phase 2 report. London: Department of Energy & Climate Change

BACKGROUND
Current planning policy for the assessment and rating of wind turbine noise in England, Scotland,
Wales and Northern Ireland refers to the ETSU-R-971 document. Wind turbines are known for
their distinctive acoustic character often descr... Read More about Wind turbine AM review: Phase 2 report.

Irreversibility analysis for reactive third-grade fluid flow and heat transfer with convective wall cooling (2016)
Journal Article

Inherent irreversibility in the flow of a reactive third grade fluid though a channel with convective heating is examined. It is well known that heat dissipated from the exothermic chemical reaction passes through fluid in an irreversible manner and...

Carbon mapping for residential low carbon retrofitting (2016)
Book Chapter
Dabaieh, M., Kenawy, I., Salah, W., & Adel, M. (2016). Carbon mapping for residential low carbon retrofitting. In Y. Bahei-El-Din, & M. Hassan (Eds.), Advanced Technologies for Sustainable Systems (79-92). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-48725-0

Worldwide measures towards reducing energy use and CO₂ emissions has become of a prime concern to mitigate the current and to adapt with the future climate change symptoms. Fifty percent of carbon emissions in Egypt result from the residential sector... Read More about Carbon mapping for residential low carbon retrofitting.

Dispersal and group formation dynamics in a rare and endangered temperate forest bat (Nyctalus lasiopterus, Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) (2016)
Journal Article
Santos, J., Meyer, C., Ibáñez, C., Popa-Lisseanu, A., & Juste, J. (2016). Dispersal and group formation dynamics in a rare and endangered temperate forest bat (Nyctalus lasiopterus, Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae). Ecology and Evolution, 6(22), 8193-8204. https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.2330

For elusive mammals like bats, colonization of new areas and colony formation are poorly understood, as is their relationship with the genetic structure of populations. Understanding dispersal and group formation behaviors is critical not only for a...

Significant changes have occurred within the higher education sector in England with further changes are anticipated as a result of the changes to the on-going policy development related to higher education in England. Government policy development f... Read More about A framework for the delivery of built environment student satisfaction in England.

Floodplains : the forgotten and abused component of the fluvial system (2016)
Journal Article
Heritage, G., Entwistle, N., & Bentley, S. (2016). Floodplains : the forgotten and abused component of the fluvial system. https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/20160713007

River restoration is strongly focussed on in-channel initiatives driven by fisheries interests and a continued
desire for river stability. This contrasts greatly with the inherently mobile nature of watercourses. What is often
overlooked is the fac... Read More about Floodplains : the forgotten and abused component of the fluvial system.
