Journal Article
Čičić, S., & Tomić, S. (2017). Automated design of multi junction solar cells by genetic approach : reaching the >50% efficiency target. Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, 181, 30-37. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.solmat.2017.12.002

The proper design of the multi-junction solar cell (MJSC) requires the optimisation search through the vast parameter space, with parameters for the proper operation quite often being constrained, like the current matching throughout the cell. Due... Read More about Automated design of multi junction solar cells by genetic approach : reaching the >50% efficiency target.

Journal Article
Martin, P., Couve, S., Zutterling, C., Albelazi, M., Groisman, R., Matkarimov, B., …Saparbaev, M. (2017). The human DNA glycosylases NEIL1 and NEIL3 excise psoralen-induced DNA-DNA cross-links in a four-stranded DNA structure. Scientific reports, 7(17438), https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-017-17693-4

Interstrand cross-links (ICLs) are highly cytotoxic DNA lesions that block DNA replication and transcription by preventing strand separation. Previously, we demonstrated that the bacterial and human DNA glycosylases Nei and NEIL1 excise unhooked pso...

Selecting passive dosimetry technologies for measuring the external dose of terrestrial wildlife (2017)
Journal Article
Aramrun, P., Beresford, N., & Wood, M. (2018). Selecting passive dosimetry technologies for measuring the external dose of terrestrial wildlife. Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 182, 128-137. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvrad.2017.12.001

Dosimeters attached to wild animals can be used to validate regulatory assessment approaches and models for estimating radiation exposure of wild animals. Such measurements are also necessary to ensure that robust dose-effect relationships can be dev...

Transaction-based energy (TE) management and control has become an increasingly relevant topic, attracting considerable attention from industry and the research community alike. As a result, new techniques are emerging for its development and actuali... Read More about State-of-the-art and prospects for peer-to-peer transaction-based energy system.

A study on the relationship between the intelligibility and quality of algorithmically-modified speech for normal hearing listeners (2017)
Journal Article
Tang, Y., Arnold, C., & Cox, T. (2017). A study on the relationship between the intelligibility and quality of algorithmically-modified speech for normal hearing listeners. Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, Hearing and Balance Medicine, 1(1), https://doi.org/10.3390/ohbm1010005

This study investigates the relationship between the intelligibility and quality of modified speech in noise and in quiet. Speech signals were processed by seven algorithms designed to increase speech intelligibility in noise without altering speech...

Probiotic consortia are not uniformly effective against different amphibian chytrid pathogen isolates (2017)
Journal Article
Antwis, R., & Harrison, X. (2018). Probiotic consortia are not uniformly effective against different amphibian chytrid pathogen isolates. Molecular Ecology, 27(2), 577-589. https://doi.org/10.1111/mec.14456

Symbiotic bacterial communities can protect their hosts from infection by pathogens. Treatment of wild individuals with protective bacteria (probiotics) isolated from hosts can combat the spread of emerging infectious diseases. However, it is unclear...

Effect of halite (NaCl) on sandstone permeability and well injectivity during CO2 storage in saline aquifers (2017)
Thesis
Beinashor, R. Effect of halite (NaCl) on sandstone permeability and well injectivity during CO2 storage in saline aquifers. (Thesis). University of Salford

Carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) is one of the widely discussed options for decreasing CO2 emissions. This method requires the techniques for capturing purification of anthropogenic CO2 from fossil-fuel power plants, subsequent compression an...
