A new approach, named the Exponential Function Method (EFM) is used to obtain
solutions to nonlinear ordinary differential equations with constant coefficients in a
semi-infinite domain. The form of the solutions of these problems is considered to... Read More about The exponential function method for solving nonlinear ordinary differential equations with constant coefficients on a semi-infinite domain.

Geographic variation in life-history traits : growth season affects age structure, egg size and clutch size in Andrew’s toad (Bufo andrewsi) (2016)
Journal Article
(Bufo andrewsi). Frontiers in Zoology, 13(6), https://doi.org/10.1186/s12983-016-0138-0

Background: Environmental variation associated with season length is likely to promote differentiation in lifehistory
traits, but has been little studied in natural populations of ectotherms. We investigated patterns of variation
in egg size, clutc... Read More about Geographic variation in life-history traits : growth season affects age structure, egg size and clutch size in Andrew’s toad (Bufo andrewsi).

Silicon-Modified rare-earth transitions - a new route to Near- and Mid-IR Photonics (2016)
Journal Article

Silicon underpins microelectronics but lacks the photonic capability needed for next-generation systems and currently relies on a highly undesirable hybridization of separate discrete devices using direct band gap semiconductors. Rare-earth (RE) impl... Read More about Silicon-Modified rare-earth transitions - a new route to Near- and Mid-IR Photonics.

A look into cross-modal associations between taste, color and music (2016)
Journal Article

This paper explores how color and sound can alter taste perception and in particular whether there are any cross-modal associations between these three stimuli. It questions how information from stimuli outside the realms of gastronomy is combined in... Read More about A look into cross-modal associations between taste, color and music.

Targeting hypoxic response for cancer therapy (2016)
Journal Article
Paolicchi, E., Gemignani, F., Krstic-Demonacos, M., Dedhar, S., Mutti, L., & Landi, S. (2016). Targeting hypoxic response for cancer therapy. Oncotarget, 7(12), https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.7229

Hypoxic tumor microenvironment (HTM) is considered to promote metabolic
changes, oncogene activation, and epithelial mesenchymal transition, and resistance
to chemo- and radio-therapy, all of which are hallmarks of aggressive tumor behavior.
Cance... Read More about Targeting hypoxic response for cancer therapy.

Perception of audio quality in productions of popular music (2016)
Journal Article

The quality of recorded music is often highly disputed. To gain insight into the dimensions
of quality perception, subjective and objective evaluation of musical programme material,
extracted from commercial CDs, was undertaken. It was observed tha... Read More about Perception of audio quality in productions of popular music.

Deformed wing virus is a recent global epidemic in honeybees driven by Varroa mites (2016)
Journal Article
Wilfert, L., Long, G., Leggett, H., Schmid-hemple, P., Butlin, R., Martin, S., & Boots, M. (2016). Deformed wing virus is a recent global epidemic in honeybees driven by Varroa mites. Science, 351(6273), 594-597. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.aac9976

Deformed wing virus (DWV) and its vector, the mite Varroa destructor, are a major threat to the world’s honeybees. Although the impact of Varroa on colony-level DWV epidemiology is evident, we have little understanding of wider DWV epidemiology and t...
