Journal Article
Dennis, M., & James, P. (2017). Evaluating the relative influence on population health of domestic gardens and green space along a rural-urban gradient. Landscape and Urban Planning, 157, 343-351. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.landurbplan.2016.08.009

Studies have repeatedly affirmed the positive links between human and environmental health but few have sufficiently addressed the complexity brought about by the range of urbanity, population and both green space and domestic gardens cover associate...

Changing expression of vertebrate immunity genes in an anthropogenic environment: a controlled experiment (2016)
Journal Article

Background: The effect of anthropogenic environments on the function of the vertebrate immune system is a problem of general importance. For example, it relates to the increasing rates of immunologically-based disease in modern human populations and...

The differential hormonal milieu of morning versus evening, may have an impact on muscle hypertrophic potential (2016)
Journal Article
Burley, S., Whittingham-Dowd, J., Allen, J., Grosset, J., & Onambele-Pearson, G. (2016). The differential hormonal milieu of morning versus evening, may have an impact on muscle hypertrophic potential. PLoS ONE, 11(9), e0161500. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0161500

Substantial gains in muscle strength and hypertrophy are clearly associated with the routine performance of resistance training. What is less evident is the optimal timing of the resistance training stimulus to elicit these significant functional and...

Pd supported on carbon nitride boosts the direct hydrogen peroxide synthesis (2016)
Journal Article

Herein, the development of an improved Pd on
carbon nitride catalyst for direct H2O2 synthesis from the
elements is reported. Microcalorimetric CO chemisorption is used to characterize the chemical speciation of the Pd-selective and -unselective si... Read More about Pd supported on carbon nitride boosts the direct hydrogen peroxide synthesis.

On the CO2 and noise emissions forecast in future aviation scenarios in the UK (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Aircraft operations have a significant impact on local air quality, climate change, fuel consumption and noise around airports. In order to reach emission targets set by aviation agencies (e.g. ACARE), to reduce environmental impact and to ensure a s...
