A generic risk-based surveying method for invading plant pathogens (2014)
Journal Article
Parnell, S., Gottwald, T., Riley, T., & van den Bosch, F. (2014). A generic risk-based surveying method for invading plant pathogens. Ecological Applications, 24(4), 779-790. https://doi.org/10.1890/13-0704.1

Invasive plant pathogens are increasing with international trade and travel, with damaging environmental and economic consequences. Recent examples include tree diseases such as sudden oak death in the Western United States and ash dieback in Europe....

Lipid metabolism and hormonal interactions: impact on cardiovascular disease and healthy aging (2014)
Journal Article

Populations in developed nations are aging gradually; it is predicted that by 2050 almost a quarter of the world’s population will be over 60 years old, more than twice the figure at the turn of the 20th century. Although we are living longer, this d... Read More about Lipid metabolism and hormonal interactions: impact on cardiovascular disease and healthy aging.

Evaluation of genetic association of the INK4 locus with primary open angle glaucoma in East Indian population (2014)
Journal Article
angle glaucoma in East Indian population. Scientific reports, 4, 5115. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep05115

INK4 locus at chromosome 9p21 has been reported to be associated with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and its subtypes along with the associated optic disc parameters across the populations of European, Japanese and African ancestries. The locus e... Read More about Evaluation of genetic association of the INK4 locus with primary open angle glaucoma in East Indian population.

Interactions of gold nanoparticles with a phospholipid monolayer membrane on mercury (2014)
Journal Article
Gordillo, G., Krpetic, Z., & Brust, M. (2014). Interactions of gold nanoparticles with a phospholipid monolayer membrane on mercury. ACS nano, 8(6), 6074-6080. https://doi.org/10.1021/nn501395e

It is demonstrated that a compact monolayer of 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine adsorbed to a hanging mercury drop electrode can serve as a simple electrochemical model system to study biomembrane penetration by gold nanoparticles. The hydrog... Read More about Interactions of gold nanoparticles with a phospholipid monolayer membrane on mercury.

Tagging frogs with passive integrated transponders causes disruption of the cutaneous bacterial community and proliferation of opportunistic fungi (2014)
Journal Article
Antwis, R., Garcia, G., Fidgett, A., & Preziosi, R. (2014). Tagging frogs with passive integrated transponders causes disruption of the cutaneous bacterial community and proliferation of opportunistic fungi. Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 80(15), 4779-4784. https://doi.org/10.1128/AEM.01175-14

Symbiotic bacterial communities play a key role in protecting amphibians from infectious diseases including chytridiomycosis,caused by the pathogenic fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis. Events that lead to the disruption of the bacterial community...

Mechanisms of skeletal muscle ageing; avenues for therapeutic intervention (2014)
Journal Article

Age-related loss of muscle mass and function, termed sarcopenia, is a catastrophic process, which impacts severely on quality of life of older people. The mechanisms underlying sarcopenia are unclear and the development of optimal therapeutic interve... Read More about Mechanisms of skeletal muscle ageing; avenues for therapeutic intervention.

Long-term effects of stock transfers : synergistic introgression of allochthonous genomes in salmonids (2014)
Journal Article
Horreo, J., Machado-Schiaffino, G., Griffiths, A., Bright, D., Stevens, J., & Garcia-Vazquez, E. (2014). Long-term effects of stock transfers : synergistic introgression of allochthonous genomes in salmonids. Journal of Fish Biology, 85(2), 292-306. https://doi.org/10.1111/jfb.12424

The genus Salmo was employed as a model to study introgression of genes between species due to secondary contacts. Seven microsatellite loci, the LDH-C1* locus and the 5S ribosomal DNA were studied. Results showed the mutually enhanced introgression... Read More about Long-term effects of stock transfers : synergistic introgression of allochthonous genomes in salmonids.

Knowledge intensive regeneration versus sustainable communities (2014)
Journal Article
Arayici, Y., & ozturk, Z. (2014). Knowledge intensive regeneration versus sustainable communities. International journal of 3-D information modeling (Online), 3(1), 1-15. https://doi.org/10.4018/ij3dim.2014010101

Regeneration is deemed as the enabler for societies and nations to transform them from industrial age to knowledge. In this regard, knowledge intensive regeneration is one of the latest models, called as New Century Cities (NCC) to make progress and...

Automatic detection of microphone handling noise (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Kendrick, P., Cox, T., Li, F., Fazenda, B., & Jackson, I. (2014, May). Automatic detection of microphone handling noise. Presented at 4th International Workshop on Cognitive Information Processing, Copenhagen, Denmark

Microphone handling noise is a common problem with user generated content. It can occur when the operator
inadvertently knocks or brushes a recording device.
Handling noise may be impulsive, where a microphone is
knocked, or a more sustained rubbi... Read More about Automatic detection of microphone handling noise.

Key factors of the land tenure security in Iraqi cities: using Al-Nassiriya city as a case study (2014)
Presentation / Conference
using Al-Nassiriya city as a case study. Poster presented at a poster at Salford Postgraduate Annual Research Conference (SPARC), CST Dean’s Showcase, Media City, 26-28 May 2014, Salford,Media City

Land Tenure Security (LTS) is a significant way in which the land user's rights are protected. It
can be safeguarded under different forms that are included in various concepts, practices and
influences which can be registered and protected officia... Read More about Key factors of the land tenure security in Iraqi cities: using Al-Nassiriya city as a case study.
