How factors of collaboration affect delivery of construction projects with a high degree of reliance on building services; an action research and cross-case study analysis of Edinburgh primary schools (2022)
Thesis
Carrick, D. How factors of collaboration affect delivery of construction projects with a high degree of reliance on building services; an action research and cross-case study analysis of Edinburgh primary schools. (Thesis). University of Salford

The construction industry has often been criticised for lack of collaboration and the effect this has on delivering value to Clients.
This research was undertaken from the viewpoint of a practicing Quantity Surveyor (Professional Doctorate) to inves...

A new ontology-based multimodal classification system for social media images of personality traits (2022)
Journal Article
Biswas, K., Shivakumara, P., Pal, U., & Lu, T. (2023). A new ontology-based multimodal classification system for social media images of personality traits. Signal, Image and Video Processing, 17, 543-551. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11760-022-02259-3

Number of users of social media is increasing exponentially. People are getting addicted to social media, and because of such addiction, it sometimes causes psychological and mental effects on the users. Understanding user interaction with social med...

Two hundred and five newly assembled mitogenomes provide mixed evidence for rivers as drivers of speciation for Amazonian primates (2022)
Journal Article

Mitochondrial DNA remains a cornerstone for molecular ecology, especially for study species from which high-quality tissue samples cannot be easily obtained. Methods using mitochondrial markers are usually reliant on reference databases, but these ar...

Removal of As(III) and Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions by Bixa orellana leaf biosorbent and As(III) removal using bacterial isolates from heavy metal contaminated site (2022)
Journal Article

Arsenic and chromium have affected wider area in the world including Gangetic plains of India due to its toxicity and carcinogenic characteristics. Entry of As(III) into food chain has also escalated problem. A novel approach has been adopted to deve...

Switches, stability and reversals in the evolutionary history of sexual systems in fish (2022)
Journal Article
Pla, S., Benvenuto, C., Capellini, I., & Piferrer, F. (2022). Switches, stability and reversals in the evolutionary history of sexual systems in fish. Nature communications, 13, 3029. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-30419-z

Sexual systems are highly diverse and have profound consequences for population dynamics and resilience. Yet, little is known about how they evolved. Using phylogenetic Bayesian modelling and a sample of 4614 species, we show that gonochorism is the...

How environmental conditions affect sleep? An investigation in domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) (2022)
Journal Article
Schork, I., Manzo, I., Beiral De Oliveira, M., Costa, F., Palme, R., Young, R., & de Azevedo, C. (2022). How environmental conditions affect sleep? An investigation in domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris). Behavioural Processes, 199, 104662. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.beproc.2022.104662

Studies with humans and some other animal species have shown that sleep is compromised when the presence of external factors such as light, sound, and temperature surpass normal levels. This study investigated the effects of these environmental condi... Read More about How environmental conditions affect sleep? An investigation in domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris).

Improving phage genome annotation to understand phage biology: the case of Pseudomonas aeruginosa LES prophages (2022)
Journal Article
Gonzalez Tortuero, E., Krishnamurthi, R., Goodhead, I., Allison, H., & James, C. (2022). Improving phage genome annotation to understand phage biology: the case of Pseudomonas aeruginosa LES prophages. Access Microbiology, 4(5), https://doi.org/10.1099/acmi.ac2021.po0318

Pseudomonas aeruginosais an important opportunistic pathogen, causing nosocomial infections. The Liverpool Epidemic Strain (LES), a major cause of mortality and morbidity in cystic fibrosis patients, harbours five prophages associated with increased...
