Role of sympathetic nerves and adipocyte catecholamine uptake in the vasorelaxant function of perivascular adipose tissue. (2018)
Journal Article
Saxton, S., Ryding, K., Aldous, R., Withers, S., Ohanian, J., & Heagerty, A. (2018). Role of sympathetic nerves and adipocyte catecholamine uptake in the vasorelaxant function of perivascular adipose tissue. Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 38(4), 880-891. https://doi.org/10.1161/ATVBAHA.118.310777

Objective: Healthy perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) exerts an anticontractile effect on resistance arteries which is vital in regulating arterial tone. Activation of β3 -adrenoceptors by sympathetic nerve-derived NA (noradrenaline) may be implicate...

Urban agriculture : evaluating informal and formal practices (2018)
Journal Article
Hardman, M., St. Clair, R., Adams, D., Armitage, R., Barry, V., Larkham, P., & Sherriff, G. (2018). Urban agriculture : evaluating informal and formal practices. North West geography (Online), 18(1), 1-10

Urban agriculture (UA) is a fast-increasing element in many settlements in the Global North. This paper reviews the diversity of UA activity, ranging from legal to illegal, formal to informal. Focusing particularly on current research on UA projects... Read More about Urban agriculture : evaluating informal and formal practices.

Hide and seek : a multidisciplinary study on the ecological success of an estuarine dweller (2018)
Thesis
Siegenthaler, A. (in press). Hide and seek : a multidisciplinary study on the ecological success of an estuarine dweller. (Thesis). University of Salford

Estuaries are dynamic systems in which biotic and abiotic conditions vary remarkably. Survival in these habitats requires flexibility in dealing with these variations, which include changes in food availability and shelter opportunities. A thorough u...

Numerical study of the circular cylinder in supersonic ground effect conditions (2018)
Journal Article
Sugar-Gabor, O. (2018). Numerical study of the circular cylinder in supersonic ground effect conditions. International review of aerospace engineering (CD-ROM), 11(1), https://doi.org/10.15866/irease.v11i1.13696

A numerical study of the aerodynamics of a circular cylinder section in proximity to the ground surface was performed, for Mach numbers of 1.5 and 2.9 and ground clearances between 2 and 0.125, non-dimensional with respect to the cylinder diameter. T... Read More about Numerical study of the circular cylinder in supersonic ground effect conditions.

Module-based structure design of wheeled mobile robot (2018)
Journal Article
Luo, Z., Shang, J., Wei, G., & Ren, L. (2018). Module-based structure design of wheeled mobile robot. Mechanical Sciences, 9(1), 103-121. https://doi.org/10.5194/ms-9-103-2018

This paper proposes an innovative and systematic approach for synthesizing mechanical structures of wheeled mobile robots. The principle and terminologies used for the proposed synthesis method are presented by adopting the concept of modular design,...

Consolidate the identity management systems to identify the effective actor based on the actors relationship for the Internet of Things (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Majeed, A., & Al-Yasiri, A. (2018, February). Consolidate the identity management systems to identify the effective actor based on the actors relationship for the Internet of Things. Presented at Third International Congress on Information and Communication Technology, London, UK

Service providers in the Internet of Things need to truly establish the identity of the user(s) as the effective actor(s) (EA) identity rather than the communicating objects to offer the right services. Objects are seamlessly interconnected by anyone...

Performance and precision of double digestion RAD (ddRAD) genotyping in large multiplexed datasets of marine fish species (2018)
Journal Article

The development of Genotyping-By-Sequencing (GBS) technologies enables cost-effective analysis of large numbers of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs), especially in “non-model” species. Nevertheless, as such technologies enter a mature phase, bia...
