Helping decisions and kin recognition in long-tailed tits: is call similarity used to direct help towards kin? (2020)
Journal Article
Leedale, A., Lachlan, R., Robinson, E., & Hatchwell, B. (2020). Helping decisions and kin recognition in long-tailed tits: is call similarity used to direct help towards kin?. Philosophical Transactions B: Biological Sciences, 375(1802), https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2019.0565

Most cooperative breeders live in discrete family groups, but in a minority, breeding populations comprise extended social networks of conspecifics that vary in relatedness. Selection for effective kin recognition may be expected for more related ind...

Benzophenyl urea insecticides – useful and eco-friendly options for insect pest control (2020)
Journal Article
Ganguly, P., Mandal, J., Mandal, N., Rakshit, R., & Patra, S. (2020). Benzophenyl urea insecticides – useful and eco-friendly options for insect pest control. Journal of environmental biology, 41(3), 527-538. https://doi.org/10.22438/jeb/41/3/mrn-1284

Insecticides play a very important role in increasing production by protecting crops from destructive insect pests. But indiscriminate use of conventional and broad spectrum insecticides, leads to development of resistance, resurgence and environmen...

A framework for the propagation of uncertainty in Transfer Path Analysis (2020)
Journal Article
Meggitt, J., Moorhouse, A., Weinen, K., & Sturm, M. (2020). A framework for the propagation of uncertainty in Transfer Path Analysis. Journal of Sound and Vibration, 483, 115425. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsv.2020.115425

Transfer Path Analysis (TPA) is a test-based methodology used to analyse the propagation of noise and vibration in complex systems. In this paper we present a covariance based framework for the propagation of experimental uncertainty in classical,...

A review on recent advancements in the hemodynamics of nano-drug delivery systems (2020)
Journal Article
Beg, O., Tripathi, J., Vasu, B., Gorla, R., Murthy, P., & Saikrishnan, P. (2020). A review on recent advancements in the hemodynamics of nano-drug delivery systems. Nanoscience and Technology: An International Journal, 11(1), 73-98. https://doi.org/10.1615/NanoSciTechnolIntJ.2020033448

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in developed countries. CVD is produced by atherosclerotic lesions that reduce arterial lumen size through plaque formation and arterial thickening. This decreases blood flo...
