An innovative asphalt patch repair pre–heating method using dynamic heating (2018)
Journal Article
Byzyka, J., Rahman, M., & Chamberlain, D. A. (2018). An innovative asphalt patch repair pre–heating method using dynamic heating. Construction and Building Materials, 188, 178-197. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2018.08.086

In hot mix asphalt patch repair, inadequate temperature at the interfaces is one of the influencing factors for inferior compaction and poor interface bonding. To enhance repair performance, a precisely controlled infrared pre-heating method for patc... Read More about An innovative asphalt patch repair pre–heating method using dynamic heating.

In-situ sub-structure decoupling of resiliently coupled assemblies (2018)
Journal Article
Meggitt, J., & Moorhouse, A. (2019). In-situ sub-structure decoupling of resiliently coupled assemblies. Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing, 117, 723-737. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ymssp.2018.07.045

The context of this paper is the increasing need for vibro-acoustic simulation across many sectors. A procedure
is derived for decoupling the components of resiliently mounted assemblies. An independent characterisation of
the components is obtaine... Read More about In-situ sub-structure decoupling of resiliently coupled assemblies.

Matcha green tea (MGT) inhibits the propagation of cancer stem cells (CSCs), by targeting mitochondrial metabolism, glycolysis and multiple cell signalling pathways (2018)
Journal Article
Bonuccelli, G., Sotgia, F., & Lisanti, M. (2018). Matcha green tea (MGT) inhibits the propagation of cancer stem cells (CSCs), by targeting mitochondrial metabolism, glycolysis and multiple cell signalling pathways. Aging, 10(8), 1867-1883. https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.101483

Matcha green tea (MGT) is a natural product that is currently used as a dietary supplement and may have significant anti-cancer properties. However, the molecular mechanism(s) underpinning its potential health benefits remain largely unknown. Here, w...

Modeling and simulation of nanofluid transport via elastic sheets (2018)
Journal Article
Uddin, M., Sohail, A., Beg, O., & Ismail, A. (2018). Modeling and simulation of nanofluid transport via elastic sheets. Biomedical engineering, 30(5), #185033. https://doi.org/10.4015/S1016237218500333

The field of nanofluidics research has spanned over the past decade with a variety of promising applications. We investigate the ``laminar boundary layer flow’’ of a Newtonian nanofluid past a moving extendable/contractable horizontal plate with surf...

Effects of ramped wall temperature and concentration on viscoelastic Jeffrey’s fluid flows from a vertical permeable cone (2018)
Journal Article
Gaffar, S., Prasad, V., Beg, O., Khan, M., & Venkatadri, K. (2018). Effects of ramped wall temperature and concentration on viscoelastic Jeffrey’s fluid flows from a vertical permeable cone. Journal of the Brazilian Society of Mechanical Sciences and Engineering, 40(9), #441. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40430-018-1354-7

In thermo-fluid dynamics, free convection flows external to different geometries such as cylinders, ellipses, spheres, curved walls, wavy plates, cones etc. play major role in various industrial and process engineering systems. The thermal buoyancy f... Read More about Effects of ramped wall temperature and concentration on viscoelastic Jeffrey’s fluid flows from a vertical permeable cone.

Soil multifunctionality and drought resistance are determined by plant structural traits in restoring grassland (2018)
Journal Article

It is increasingly recognized that belowground responses to vegetation change are closely linked to plant functional traits. However, our understanding is limited concerning the relative importance of different plant traits for soil functions and of...

HiDE : a tool for unrestricted literature based discovery (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Preiss, J., & Stevenson, M. (2018, August). HiDE : a tool for unrestricted literature based discovery. Presented at 27th International Conference on Computational Linguistics (COLING 2018), Santa Fe, New-Mexico, USA

As the quantity of publications increases daily, researchers are forced to narrow their attention to their own specialism and are therefore less likely to make new connections with other areas. Literature based discovery (LBD) supports the identifica... Read More about HiDE : a tool for unrestricted literature based discovery.
