Azithromycin and Roxithromycin define a new family of “senolytic” drugs that target senescent human fibroblasts (2018)
Journal Article
Ozsvari, B., Nuttall, J., Sotgia, F., & Lisanti, M. (2018). Azithromycin and Roxithromycin define a new family of “senolytic” drugs that target senescent human fibroblasts. Aging, 10(11), 3294-3307. https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.101633

Here, we employed a “senolytic” assay system as a screening tool, with the goal of identifying and repurposing FDA-approved antibiotics, for the targeting of the senescent cell population. Briefly, we used two established human fibroblast cell lines... Read More about Azithromycin and Roxithromycin define a new family of “senolytic” drugs that target senescent human fibroblasts.

Individual consumption of supplemental food as a predictor of reproductive performance and viral infection intensity (2018)
Journal Article


Supplemental food is often provided to threatened species in order to maintain or enhance reproductive fitness and thus population growth. However, its impact on individual reproductive fitness is rarely evaluated, despite being associated with bot...

Application of differential transform method to unsteady free convective heat transfer of a couple stress fluid over a stretching sheet (2018)
Journal Article
Kumar, M., Reddy, G., Kumar, N., & Beg, O. (2018). Application of differential transform method to unsteady free convective heat transfer of a couple stress fluid over a stretching sheet. Heat Transfer - Asian Research, 48(2), 582-600. https://doi.org/10.1002/htj.21396

In the present article, the transient rheological boundary layer flow over a stretching sheet
with heat transfer is investigated, a topic of relevance to non-Newtonian thermal materials
processing. Stokes couple stress model is deployed to simulate... Read More about Application of differential transform method to unsteady free convective heat transfer of a couple stress fluid over a stretching sheet.

An evolutionary modelling approach to predicting stress-strain behaviour of saturated granular soils (2018)
Journal Article

The impact of atmospheric pressure on the performance of 60GHz point to point links within 5G networks (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Linge, N., Odum, R., Hill, S., von Hünerbein, S., Linnebank, P., Sutton, A., & Townend, D. (2018, November). The impact of atmospheric pressure on the performance of 60GHz point to point links within 5G networks. Presented at Loughborough Antennas & Propagation Conference 2018 (LAPC2018), Loughborough, UK

There is growing interest in the use of millimetre-wave spectrum as a potential candidate for the provision of high capacity, short range, back-haul solutions within future 5G ultra-dense network infrastructures. However, it is recognised that these... Read More about The impact of atmospheric pressure on the performance of 60GHz point to point links within 5G networks.

Enhanced gas recovery by CO2 injection and sequestration : effects of temperature, vertical and horizontal orientations on dispersion coefficient (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Abba, M., Abbas, A., Nasr, G., & Al-Otaibi, A. (2018, November). Enhanced gas recovery by CO2 injection and sequestration : effects of temperature, vertical and horizontal orientations on dispersion coefficient. Presented at The Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition & Conference (ADIPEC), Abu Dhabi

Enhanced gas recovery (EGR) by CO2 injection and sequestration is receiving increased attention within the research community. This is as a result of its potential to be an avenue for the simultaneous additional recovery of natural gas from the reser...
