Finite difference computation of free magneto-convective Powell-Eyring nanofluid flow over a permeable cylinder with variable thermal conductivity (2020)
Journal Article
Kumaran, G., Sivaraj, R., Prasad, V., Beg, O., & Sharma, R. (2021). Finite difference computation of free magneto-convective Powell-Eyring nanofluid flow over a permeable cylinder with variable thermal conductivity. Physica Scripta, 96(2), 025222. https://doi.org/10.1088/1402-4896/abd121

It is essential to account the variability in thermophysical properties such as thermal conductivity to obtain the characteristics of transport properties in industrial thermal systems more accurately. This phenomenon is especially significant in co...

Circular and linear : a tale of aptamer selection for the activation of SIRT1 to induce death in cancer cells (2020)
Journal Article
Al-Sudani, B., Ragazzon-Smith, A., Aziz, A., Alansari, R., Ferry, N., Krstic- Demonacos, M., & Ragazzon, P. (2020). Circular and linear : a tale of aptamer selection for the activation of SIRT1 to induce death in cancer cells. RSC Advances, 10(73), 45008-45018. https://doi.org/10.1039/D0RA07857C

It is a challenge to select the right target to treat conditions without affecting non-diseased cells. Cancer belongs to the top 10 causes of death in the world and it remains difficult to treat. Amongst cancer emerging targets, silent information re... Read More about Circular and linear : a tale of aptamer selection for the activation of SIRT1 to induce death in cancer cells.

Computation of non-similar flow of a magnetic pseudoplastic nanofluid over a circular cylinder with variable thermophysical properties and radiative flux (2020)
Journal Article
Beg, O., Basha, H., Sivaraj, R., & Prasad, V. (2021). Computation of non-similar flow of a magnetic pseudoplastic nanofluid over a circular cylinder with variable thermophysical properties and radiative flux. International Journal of Numerical Methods for Heat and Fluid Flow, 31(5), 1475-1519. https://doi.org/10.1108/HFF-04-2020-0236

Generally, in computational thermofluid dynamics, the thermophysical properties of flu- ids (e.g. viscosity and thermal conductivity) are considered as constant. However, in many applications, the variability Of these properties plays a significa...

Journal Article
Hoffmann, S., Beck, R., Wible, J., Rougier, G., & Krause, D. (2020). Phylogenetic placement of Adalatherium hui (Mammalia, Gondwanatheria) from the Late Cretaceous of Madagascar : implications for allotherian relationships. Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, 40(Sup 1), 213-234. https://doi.org/10.1080/02724634.2020.1801706

The phylogenetic position of Gondwanatheria within Mammaliaformes has historically been controversial. The well-preserved skeleton of Adalatherium hui from the Late Cretaceous of Madagascar offers a unique opportunity to address this issue, based on...

Modelmaking in architectural space production : studio interactions in the material and the digital realm (2020)
Journal Article
Moustaka, A. (2020). Modelmaking in architectural space production : studio interactions in the material and the digital realm. AMPS proceedings series, 18(1), 176-181

This paper will question and reposition what traditional model making practices in architectural education have enabled and how the transition to digital model making ultimately also means a paradigm shift in the ways we produce, manufacture, design,...

Thesis
Kerr, G. Four shades of science festival : a qualitative study exploring the business and management dimensions of science festivals in the United Kingdom. (Thesis). University of Salford

Science festivals are a global cultural phenomenon with at least 60 such festivals taking place across the UK every year. Science festivals fulfil a unique function within civil society: providing a platform for science communication, education, and...
