Gaps in terrestrial soundscape research : it’s time to focus on tropical wildlife (2019)
Journal Article
Scarpelli, M., Ribeiro, M., Teixeira, F., Young, R., & Teixeira, C. (2020). Gaps in terrestrial soundscape research : it’s time to focus on tropical wildlife. Science of the Total Environment, 707, 135403. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2019.135403

There has been a body of research examining the sounds produced in landscapes. These sounds are commonly defined as soundscapes, however, the term is often used in different contexts. To understand the various meanings attributed to soundscapes, we i... Read More about Gaps in terrestrial soundscape research : it’s time to focus on tropical wildlife.

The effects of rosiglitazone on the neonatal rat cardiomyocyte transcriptome: a temporal analysis (2019)
Journal Article
Abraham da Silveira, W., Vazquez-Hidalgo, E., Bartolotta, E., Renaud, L., Paolini, P., & Hardiman, G. (2019). The effects of rosiglitazone on the neonatal rat cardiomyocyte transcriptome: a temporal analysis. Pharmacogenomics, 20(16), 1125-1141. https://doi.org/10.2217/pgs-2019-0077

Aim: The objective was to determine via high-throughput RNA sequencing the temporal effects of rosiglitazone (Avandia®) on the neonatal rat ventricular myocyte transcriptome.

Materials & methods: Neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NRVMs) were exp... Read More about The effects of rosiglitazone on the neonatal rat cardiomyocyte transcriptome: a temporal analysis.

Syntactic parsing is a time-consuming task innatural language processing particularlywherea largenumber of text files are beingprocessed. Parsingalgorithms are conventionally designed to operate on a single machine in a sequenti... Read More about A cloud-hosted MapReduce architecture for syntactic parsing.

Life cycle carbon emissions and comparative evaluation of selected open source UK embodied carbon counting tools (2019)
Journal Article
Ekundayo, D., Babatunde, S., Ekundayo, A., Perera, S., & Udeaja, C. (2019). Life cycle carbon emissions and comparative evaluation of selected open source UK embodied carbon counting tools. Construction Economics and Building, 19(2), 220-242. https://doi.org/10.5130/AJCEB.v19i2.6692

Life cycle carbon emissions (LCO2), made up of operational and embodied carbon, have become a major metric of building environmental performance and energy efficiency. Whilst there are now standard methods for operational carbon assessment due to its...

Mixed-cropping between field pea varieties alters root bacterial and fungal communities (2019)
Journal Article
Horner, A., Browett, S., & Antwis, R. (2019). Mixed-cropping between field pea varieties alters root bacterial and fungal communities. Scientific reports, 9(16953), https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-53342-8

Modern agricultural practices have vastly increased crop production but negatively affected soil health. As such, there is a call to develop sustainable, ecologically-viable approaches to food production. Mixed-cropping of plant varieties can increas...
