The effects of regional weather patterns on the migration of birds and Lepidoptera to a coastal migration “hotspot” in East Kent and possible changes in occurrence in response to global climate change (2022)
Thesis
Lee, G. The effects of regional weather patterns on the migration of birds and Lepidoptera to a coastal migration “hotspot” in East Kent and possible changes in occurrence in response to global climate change. (Dissertation). University of Salford

The phenomenon of long-distance migration is an important strategy for the survival of many species by maximising chances of breeding success in different climates. By analysing past literature covering the effects of weather on migration, a research...

Maize yield estimation in intercropped smallholder fields using satellite data in southern Malawi (2022)
Journal Article
Li, C., Chimimba, E., Kambombe, O., Brown, L., Chibarabada, T., Lu, Y., …Dash, J. (2022). Maize yield estimation in intercropped smallholder fields using satellite data in southern Malawi. Remote Sensing, 14(10), https://doi.org/10.3390/rs14102458

Satellite data provide high potential for estimating crop yield, which is crucial to understanding determinants of yield gaps and therefore improving food production, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) regions. However, accurate assessment of c... Read More about Maize yield estimation in intercropped smallholder fields using satellite data in southern Malawi.

Phylogenetics and an updated taxonomic status of the Tamarins (Callitrichinae, Cebidae) (2022)
Journal Article

Traditionally, Saguinus has been organized into six taxonomic groups: bicolor, inustus, midas, mystax, nigricollis, and oedipus. After recent revisions, taxonomic reclassifications were proposed, including (1) the recognition of Leontocebus as a new...

iNOS is essential to maintain a protective Th1/Th2 response and the production of cytokines/chemokines against Schistosoma japonicum infection in rats (2022)
Journal Article
Shen, J., Yu, S., Peng, M., Lai, D., Hide, G., Wu, Z., & Lun, Z. (2022). iNOS is essential to maintain a protective Th1/Th2 response and the production of cytokines/chemokines against Schistosoma japonicum infection in rats. PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 16(5), e0010403. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pntd.0010403

Humans and a wide range of mammals are generally susceptible to Schistosoma infection, while some rodents such as Rattus rats and Microtus spp are not. We previously demonstrated that inherent high expression levels of nitric oxide (NO), produced by...

Targeting c-met in sonic hedgehog medulloblastomas (2022)
Thesis
Morlando, S. Targeting c-met in sonic hedgehog medulloblastomas. (Thesis). University of Salford

Medulloblastoma (MB), a cerebellar tumour primarily diagnosed in children, is the most common malignant brain tumour consisting of four molecular subgroups: Wingless (WNT), Sonic Hedgehog (SHH), Group 3 and Group 4. Although the 70-75% of MB patients... Read More about Targeting c-met in sonic hedgehog medulloblastomas.

Reactive solute transport in blood flow through a permeable capillary (2022)
Journal Article
Beg, O., Debnath, S., & Roy, A. (in press). Reactive solute transport in blood flow through a permeable capillary. Archives of Mechanics, https://doi.org/10.24423/aom.3955

The present analysis discusses the solute transport process in a steady 2D (axial and radial) laminar flow of blood through a permeable, finite length capillary. Blood is treated as a homogeneous Newtonian fluid and the solute is absorbed at the capi... Read More about Reactive solute transport in blood flow through a permeable capillary.

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 173, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ympev.2022.107509

Bald uakaris, genus Cacajao, are Amazonian primates currently classified as one species and four subspecies based on the patterns of pelage coloration. In this study, we test if their current taxonomy is represented by the phylogenetic relationship o...
