Journal Article
Li, S., Zhang, X., Lukeš, J., Li, B., Wang, J., Qu, L., …Lun, Z. (2020). Novel organization of mitochondrial minicircles and guide RNAs in the zoonotic pathogen Trypanosoma lewisi. Nucleic Acids Research, 48(17), 9747-9761. https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkaa700

Abstract Kinetoplastid flagellates are known for several unusual features, one of which is their complex mitochondrial genome, known as kinetoplast (k) DNA, composed of mutually catenated maxi- and minicircles. Trypanosoma lewisi is a member of the S... Read More about Novel organization of mitochondrial minicircles and guide RNAs in the zoonotic pathogen Trypanosoma lewisi.

Thesis
Alshahrani, A. Interpretive investigation into the implementation of Sustainable Business Models within Saudi housing construction industry. (Thesis). University of Salford

Sustainable Practices (SPs) in the Housing Construction Industry (HCI) have been the subject of significant innovation, resolving housing problems and reducing the negative impacts of the built environment. These enhancements have targeted the value... Read More about Interpretive investigation into the implementation of Sustainable Business Models within Saudi housing construction industry.

A best practice framework for Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in road projects : the case of Ghana (2020)
Thesis
Boadi, R. A best practice framework for Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in road projects : the case of Ghana. (Thesis). University of Salford

Financing of public infrastructure projects in Ghana is predominantly from government-generated inflows. These funds are, however, inadequate to provide the infrastructure needed for the economic transformation and development of the country. The gov...

Raman spectroscopy of ethane (C 2 H 6 ) to 120 GPa at 300 K (2020)
Journal Article
Read, L., Spender, J., & Proctor, J. (2020). Raman spectroscopy of ethane (C 2 H 6 ) to 120 GPa at 300 K. Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, 51(11), 2311-2317. https://doi.org/10.1002/jrs.5971

We have conducted a Raman study of solid ethane (C2H6) at pressures up to 120 GPa at 300 K. We observe changes within the ν3 and ν11 Raman‐active vibrational modes providing evidence for several previously unobserved phase transitions at room tempera...

Using scale modelling to assess the prehistoric acoustics of stonehenge (2020)
Journal Article
Cox, T., Fazenda, B., & Greaney, S. (2020). Using scale modelling to assess the prehistoric acoustics of stonehenge. Journal of Archaeological Science, 122, 105218. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jas.2020.105218

With social rituals usually involving sound, an archaeological understanding of a site requires the acoustics to be assessed. This paper demonstrates how this can be done with acoustic scale models. Scale modelling is an established method in archite... Read More about Using scale modelling to assess the prehistoric acoustics of stonehenge.

The influence of environmental variation on the genetic structure of a poison frog distributed across continuous Amazonian rainforest (2020)
Journal Article
Ferreira, A., Lima, A., Jehle, R., Ferrao, M., & Stow, A. (2020). The influence of environmental variation on the genetic structure of a poison frog distributed across continuous Amazonian rainforest. Journal of Heredity, 111(5), 457-470. https://doi.org/10.1093/jhered/esaa034

Biogeographic barriers such as rivers have been shown to shape spatial patterns of biodiversity in the Amazon basin, yet relatively little is known about the distribution of genetic variation across continuous rainforest. Here, we characterize the ge... Read More about The influence of environmental variation on the genetic structure of a poison frog distributed across continuous Amazonian rainforest.
