Long-term trends in helminth infections of wood mice (Apodemus sylvaticus) from the vicinity of Malham Tarn in North Yorkshire, England (2020)
Journal Article

Helminth infections in wood mice (n=483), trapped over a period of 26 years in the woods
surrounding Malham Tarn in N. Yorkshire, were analysed. Although ten species of helminths
were identified, the overall mean species richness was 1.01 species/m... Read More about Long-term trends in helminth infections of wood mice (Apodemus sylvaticus) from the vicinity of Malham Tarn in North Yorkshire, England.

A wetland vulnerability assessment : consequences for the avian communities of saltmarshes (2020)
Thesis
Alexander, D. A wetland vulnerability assessment : consequences for the avian communities of saltmarshes. (Thesis). University of Salford

Understanding better the consequences of anthropogenic pressure and environmental change is a substantial area of research for modern conservation ecology. This aim of this research is to investigate these consequences for the avian communities of sa...

Nonlinear model predictive growth control of a class of plant-inspired soft growing robots (2020)
Journal Article
Hussien, H., Hameed, I., & Ryu, J. (2020). Nonlinear model predictive growth control of a class of plant-inspired soft growing robots. IEEE Access, 8, 214495-214503. https://doi.org/10.1109/ACCESS.2020.3041616

Recently, researchers have shown an increased interest in considering plants as a model of inspiration for designing new robot locomotions. Growing robots, that imitate the biological growth presented by plants, have proved irresistible in unpredicta...

A supervisory-based collaborative Obstacle-Guided Path Refinement algorithm for path planning in wide terrains (2020)
Journal Article
Atia, M., Hussien, H., & Salah, O. (2020). A supervisory-based collaborative Obstacle-Guided Path Refinement algorithm for path planning in wide terrains. IEEE Access, 8, 214672-214684. https://doi.org/10.1109/ACCESS.2020.3041802

Robotic exploration of wide terrains, such as agricultural fields, could be challenging while considering the limited robot’s capabilities in terms of sensing and power. Thus, in this article, we proposed OGPR*, an Obstacle Guided Path Refinement alg...

Immune biomarkers predicting clinical outcomes for major trauma patients (2020)
Thesis
Saleem, A. Immune biomarkers predicting clinical outcomes for major trauma patients. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Major trauma continues to be the most common cause of death in the population under the age of 40 in England. Despite advances in trauma care in the UK, sepsis and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) continue to be severe complications of trau...

Numerical investigation of the effect of tread pattern on rotating wheel aerodynamics (2020)
Journal Article
Soliman, M., El-Baz, A., Abdel-Aziz, M., Abdel-Aziz, N., & Sugar-Gabor, O. (2020). Numerical investigation of the effect of tread pattern on rotating wheel aerodynamics. International journal of automotive and mechanical engineering (Kuantan), 17(4), 8234-8245. https://doi.org/10.15282/IJAME.17.4.2020.01.0621

The present work investigates the dynamic effect of wheel rotation on the aerodynamic characteristics of slick type (ST) wheel of Formula One racing cars using a computational approach. The ST wheel model was compared to experimental results as a val... Read More about Numerical investigation of the effect of tread pattern on rotating wheel aerodynamics.

Settlement, land-use and communication at Cuerden, Central Lancashire : an archaeological case study (2020)
Journal Article
Cook, O., & Miller, I. (2020). Settlement, land-use and communication at Cuerden, Central Lancashire : an archaeological case study

An archaeological investigation undertaken by Salford Archaeology in 2016-18 ahead of a large development at Cuerden in Central Lancashire yielded significant evidence for land use in the area from the prehistoric period through to the present day. I... Read More about Settlement, land-use and communication at Cuerden, Central Lancashire : an archaeological case study.

The effects of dry and wet rock surfaces on shear behavior of the interface between rock and cemented paste backfill (2020)
Journal Article

Cemented Paste Backfill (CPB) technology has been effective in using the tailings to refill the underground cavities. The wet or dry rock surface can significantly affect the stability of the CPB-Rock interface, and the shear load-bearing capacity of...

Parapatric pied and red-handed tamarin responses to congeneric and conspecific calls (2020)
Journal Article
Sobroza, T., Gordo, M., Barnett, A., Boubli, J., & Spironello, W. (2021). Parapatric pied and red-handed tamarin responses to congeneric and conspecific calls. Acta oecologica, 110, 103688. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actao.2020.103688

Aggressive behaviors are widespread among territorial species and asymmetrical aggressiveness may imply differential access to resources. At a larger scale, such asymmetry may also drive shifts in geographic distributions. The pied tamarin (Saguinus...
