Human annoyance, acceptability and concern as responses to vibration from the construction of light rapid transit lines in residential environments (2016)
Journal Article
rapid transit lines in residential environments. Science of the Total Environment, 568, 1308-1314. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2016.01.121

The aim of this paper is to investigate the use of different self-reported measures for assessing the human response to environmental vibration from the construction of an urban LRT (Light Rapid Transit) system. The human response to environmental st...

Resolving taxonomic uncertainty in vulnerable elasmobranchs : are the Madeira skate (Raja maderensis) and the thornback ray (Raja clavata) distinct species? (2016)
Journal Article

Skates and rays constitute the most speciose group of chondrichthyan fishes, yet are characterised by remarkable levels of morphological and ecological conservatism. They can be challenging to identify, which makes monitoring species compositions for...

The exponential function method for solving nonlinear ordinary differential equations with constant coefficients on a semi-infinite domain (2016)
Journal Article
Chadwick, E., Hatam, A., & Kazem, S. (2016). The exponential function method for solving nonlinear ordinary differential equations with constant coefficients on a semi-infinite domain. Proceedings Mathematical Sciences, 126(1), 79-97. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12044-015-0254-3

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.
