Book Chapter
Zheng, L., Liao, J., Wen, Y., Hide, G., Qu, L., & Lun, Z. (2016). Different types of small RNAs in protozoa. In A. Leitao, & F. Enguita (Eds.), Non-coding RNAs and inter-kingdom communication (177-196). Springer International Publishing. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-39496-1_11

The origin and evolution of small RNA molecules is a long-standing mystery. The protozoa represent the earliest eukaryotes and encompass rich diverse genetic resources. However, there are many contradictions and disputes prevalent in studies on proto... Read More about Different types of small RNAs in protozoa.

Expanding the scope of the Babler-Daubin oxidation : 1,3-oxidative transposition of secondary allylic alcohols (2016)
Journal Article
Killoran, P., Rossington, S., Wilkinson, J., & Hadfield, J. (2016). Expanding the scope of the Babler-Daubin oxidation : 1,3-oxidative transposition of secondary allylic alcohols. Tetrahedron Letters, 57(35), 3954-3957. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tetlet.2016.07.076

We report the catalytic chromium-mediated oxidation of secondary allylic alcohols to give α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with exclusive (E)-stereoselectivity. This facile procedure employs catalytic PCC (5 mol%) and periodic acid (H5IO6) as a co-oxidant....

PAbAC : a privacy preserving attribute based framework for fine grained access control in clouds (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Belguith, S., Kaaniche, N., Jemai, A., Laurent, M., & Attia, R. (2016, July). PAbAC : a privacy preserving attribute based framework for fine grained access control in clouds. Presented at 13th International Conference on Security and Cryptography - SECRPYT 2016, Lisbon, Portugal

Several existing access control solutions mainly focus on preserving confidentiality of stored data from unauthorized access and the storage provider. Moreover, to keep sensitive user data confidential against untrusted
servers, existing solutions u... Read More about PAbAC : a privacy preserving attribute based framework for fine grained access control in clouds.

Consequences of a large-scale fragmentation experiment for Neotropical bats : disentangling the relative importance of local and landscape-scale effects (2016)
Journal Article

Context
Habitat loss, fragmentation and degradation are widespread drivers of biodiversity decline. Understanding how habitat quality interacts with landscape context, and how they jointly affect species in human-modified landscapes, is of great im...

Progressive collapse resisting mechanisms of reinforced concrete structures (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Reinforced concrete (RC) buildings may be vulnerable to progressive collapse due to lack of
sufficient continuous reinforcement. Progressive collapse is a situation when local failure is
followed by collapse of adjoining members, which in turn caus... Read More about Progressive collapse resisting mechanisms of reinforced concrete structures.

Mechanical performance of reinforced concrete with different proportions and lengths of Basalt Fibres (2016)
Journal Article
proportions and lengths of Basalt Fibres. Journal of Material Sciences & Engineering, 5(5), https://doi.org/10.4172/2169-0022.1000271

This paper discusses the effect of the fraction (0.2-0.3% by volume) and length (22 mm and 24 mm) of basalt
fibre on the mechanical properties of concrete. The paper aims to evaluate the effect of different combinations of
basalt fibres on the me... Read More about Mechanical performance of reinforced concrete with different proportions and lengths of Basalt Fibres.

Unsteady two-layered blood flow through a w-shape stenosed artery using the generalized oldroyd-b fluid model (2016)
Journal Article
Ali, N., Zaman, A., Beg, O., & Sajid, M. (2016). Unsteady two-layered blood flow through a w-shape stenosed artery using the generalized oldroyd-b fluid model. ANZIAM Journal, 58(1), 96-118. https://doi.org/10.1017/S1446181116000134

A theoretical study of unsteady two-layered blood flow through a stenosed artery is presented in this article. The geometry of rigid stenosed artery is assumed to be w-shaped. The flow regime is assumed to be laminar, unsteady and uni-directional. Th...

Benefits of visual management in the transportation sector (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Tezel, B., Aziz, Z., Koskela, L., & Tzortzopoulos Fazenda, P. (2016, July). Benefits of visual management in the transportation sector. Presented at 24th Annual Conference of the International Group for Lean Construction., Boston, USA

This paper explores the benefits of Visual Management (VM), a fundamental sensory information management strategy in the lean production system, in the transportation sector in England. Lean construction and VM have recently gained momentum in Englan... Read More about Benefits of visual management in the transportation sector.

Visual management condition in highways construction projects in England (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Tezel, B., Aziz, Z., Koskela, L., & Tzortzopoulos Fazenda, P. (2016, July). Visual management condition in highways construction projects in England. Presented at 24th Annual Conference of the International Group for Lean Construction, Boston, USA

Lean construction has recently gained momentum in England’s highways construction supply chain. The literature indicates that the current view to Visual Management (VM) within those lean implementations is limited to some VM tools. This paper explore...
