Persistence of environmental DNA in marine systems (2018)
Journal Article
Collins, R., Wangensteen Fuentes, O., O'Gorman, E., Mariani, S., Sims, D., & Genner, M. (2018). Persistence of environmental DNA in marine systems. Communications Biology, 1, 185. https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-018-0192-6

As environmental DNA (eDNA) becomes an increasingly valuable resource for marine eco-system monitoring, understanding variation in its persistence across contrasting environments is critical. Here, we quantify the breakdown of macrobial eDNA over a s... Read More about Persistence of environmental DNA in marine systems.

Assessment of perceptual distortion boundary through applying reversible watermarking to brain MR images (2018)
Journal Article
Qasim, A., Aspin, R., Meziane, F., & Hogg, P. (2019). Assessment of perceptual distortion boundary through applying reversible watermarking to brain MR images. Signal Processing: Image Communication, 70, 246-258. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.image.2018.10.007

The digital medical workflow faces many circumstances in which the images can be manipulated during viewing, extracting and exchanging. Reversible and imperceptible watermarking approaches have the potential to enhance trust within the medical imagin...

Influential factors of aligning Spotify squads in mission-critical and offshore projects – a longitudinal embedded case study (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Changing the development process of an organization is one of the toughest and riskiest decisions. This is particularly true if the known experiences and practices of the new considered ways of working are relative and subject to contextual assumptio...

Excavating the Wear Flint Glass Works, Lisburn Terrace, Sunderland (2018)
Journal Article
Gregory, R., Dungworth, D., Wild, C., & Miller, I. (2018). Excavating the Wear Flint Glass Works, Lisburn Terrace, Sunderland. Archaeologia Aeliana, 47, 271-305

In 2011, an open-area excavation was undertaken on the site of the Wear Flint Glass Works, Sunderland. This glassworks operated throughout the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and was initially engaged in the production of pressed-glass vesse...

Manchester at work (2018)
Book

'Manchester at Work' explores the life of the city and its people, from pre-industrial beginnings through to the early 21st century. It charts the rise and fall of the textile industry, the town's role as a major inland port, post-war industrial decl... Read More about Manchester at work.

Within- and between-session prefrontal cortex response to virtual reality exposure therapy for acrophobia (2018)
Journal Article
Landowska, A., Roberts, D., Eachus, P., & Barrett, A. (2018). Within- and between-session prefrontal cortex response to virtual reality exposure therapy for acrophobia. Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 12(362), https://doi.org/10.3389/fnhum.2018.00362

Exposure Therapy (ET) has demonstrated its efficacy in the treatment of phobias, anxiety and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), however, it suffers a high drop-out rate because of too low or too high patient engagement in treatment. Virtual Reali... Read More about Within- and between-session prefrontal cortex response to virtual reality exposure therapy for acrophobia.

Biodiversity-rich European grasslands : ancient, forgotten ecosystems (2018)
Journal Article
Feurdean, A., Ruprecht, E., Molnár, Z., Hutchinson, S., & Hickler, T. (2018). Biodiversity-rich European grasslands : ancient, forgotten ecosystems. Biological Conservation, 228, 224-232. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biocon.2018.09.022

Worldwide reforestation has been recommended as a landscape restoration strategy to mitigate climate change in areas where the climate can sustain forest. This approach may threaten grassland ecosystems of unique biodiversity as such policies are bas... Read More about Biodiversity-rich European grasslands : ancient, forgotten ecosystems.

Electro-osmosis modulated viscoelastic embryo transport in uterine hydrodynamics : mathematical modelling (2018)
Journal Article
transport in uterine hydrodynamics : mathematical modelling. Journal of Biomechanical Engineering, 141(2), 021003. https://doi.org/10.1115/1.4041904

Embryological transport features a very interesting and complex application of peristaltic fluid dynamics. Electro-osmotic phenomena are also known to arise in embryo transfer location. The fluid dynamic environment in embryological systems is also k... Read More about Electro-osmosis modulated viscoelastic embryo transport in uterine hydrodynamics : mathematical modelling.

Comparing the bacterial communities of wild and captive golden mantella frogs: Implications for amphibian conservation (2018)
Journal Article
Passos, L. F., Garcia, G., & Young, R. J. (2018). Comparing the bacterial communities of wild and captive golden mantella frogs: Implications for amphibian conservation. PloS one, 13(10), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0205652

Bacterial communities are frequently found in symbiotic associations with most animal species. The characteristically moist amphibian skin provides a good environment for the growth of some species of bacteria; among these a few can act as a first li...
