Chemical deception among ant social parasites (2014)
Journal Article
Gulliem, R., Drijfhout, F., & Martin, S. (2014). Chemical deception among ant social parasites. Current Zoology, 60(1), 62. https://doi.org/10.1093/czoolo/60.1.62

Deception is widespread throughout the animal kingdom and various deceptive strategies are exemplified by social parasites. These are species of ants, bees and wasps that have evolved to invade, survive and reproduce within a host colony of another s... Read More about Chemical deception among ant social parasites.

Retrofit alternatives in five UK cities (2014)
Report
Barlow, C. (2014). Retrofit alternatives in five UK cities

The purpose of this paper is to explore the ways in which locally-based projects that can be identified as ‘alternative retrofit’ make use of city spaces. A review of relevant literature on the use of such spaces frames and conceptualises these alter... Read More about Retrofit alternatives in five UK cities.

Red light running and close following behaviour at urban shuttle-lane roadworks (2014)
Journal Article
Yousif, S., Alterawi, M., & Henson, R. (2014). Red light running and close following behaviour at urban shuttle-lane roadworks. Accident analysis and prevention, 66, 147-157. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aap.2014.01.021

Roadworks (work zones) are a common feature of our urban environment. They have a considerable impact on reducing roadway capacity, causing interruptions and imposing substantial delays to road users, which in turn adds to the cost to society and adv...

Colloidal interactions induced by overlap of mixed protein+polysaccharide interfacial layers (2014)
Journal Article
Ettelaie, R., & Akinshina, A. (2014). Colloidal interactions induced by overlap of mixed protein+polysaccharide interfacial layers. Food Hydrocolloids, 42(Part 1), 106-117. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodhyd.2014.01.020

Colloidal interaction potentials induced by the overlap of mixed protein + polysaccharide interfacial layers, formed solely as a result of electrostatic attraction between these two biopolymers, have been calculated using the Self Consistent Field Th...

Using virtual environments to test the effects of life like architecture on people (2014)
Book Chapter
Adi, M., & Roberts, D. (2014). Using virtual environments to test the effects of life like architecture on people. In A. Brooks, S. Brahnam, & L. Jain (Eds.), Technologies of Inclusive Well-Being: Serious Games, Alternative Realities, and Play Therapy (261-285). Springer Berlin Heidelberg. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-45432-5_13

While traditionally associated with stability, sturdiness and anchoring, architecture is more than a container protecting from the elements. It is a place that influences state of mind and productivity of those within it. On the doorstep of adaptive...

Catabolic cancer-associated fibroblasts transfer energy and biomass to anabolic cancer cells, fueling tumor growth (2014)
Journal Article
Martinez-Outschoorn, U., Lisanti, M., & Sotgia, F. (2014). Catabolic cancer-associated fibroblasts transfer energy and biomass to anabolic cancer cells, fueling tumor growth. Seminars in Cancer Biology, 25, 47-60. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.semcancer.2014.01.005

Fibroblasts are the most abundant “non-cancerous” cells in tumors. However, it remains largely
unknown how these cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) promote tumor growth and metastasis, driving
chemotherapy resistance and poor clinical outcome. Th... Read More about Catabolic cancer-associated fibroblasts transfer energy and biomass to anabolic cancer cells, fueling tumor growth.

Impact of sludge floc size and water composition on dewaterability (2014)
Journal Article
Fitria, D., Scholz, M., Swift, G., & Hutchinson, S. (2014). Impact of sludge floc size and water composition on dewaterability. Chemical Engineering and Technology, 37(3), 471-477. https://doi.org/10.1002/ceat.201300378

In order to observe the impact of different water compositions on sludge dewaterability, assessments of floc sizes using a particle size analyzer and of sludge dewaterability based on the capillary suction time (CST) test were carried out. Synthetic... Read More about Impact of sludge floc size and water composition on dewaterability.

Widely varying giant Goos–Hänchen shifts from airy beams at nonlinear interfaces (2014)
Journal Article
Chamorro-Posada, P., Sánchez-Curto, J., Aceves, A., & McDonald, G. (2014). Widely varying giant Goos–Hänchen shifts from airy beams at nonlinear interfaces. Optics Letters, 39(6), 1378-1381. https://doi.org/10.1364/OL.39.001378

We present a numerical study of the giant Goos–Hänchen shifts (GHSs) obtained from an Airy beam impinging on a nonlinear interface. To avoid any angular restriction associated with the paraxial approximation, the analysis is based on the nonlinear He...

Arsenic(V) removal in wetland filters treating drinking water with different substrates and plants (2014)
Journal Article
Wu, M., Li, Q., Tang, X., Huang, Z., Lin, L., & Scholz, M. (2014). Arsenic(V) removal in wetland filters treating drinking water with different substrates and plants. International Journal of Environmental Analytical Chemistry, 94(6), 618-638. https://doi.org/10.1080/03067319.2013.864647

Constructed wetlands are an attractive choice for removing arsenic (As) within water resources used for drinking water production. The role of substrate and vegetation in As removal processes is still poorly understood. In this study, gravel, zeolite...

Tests of multiple molecular markers for the identification of Great Spotted and Syrian Woodpeckers and their hybrids (2014)
Journal Article

Great Spotted and Syrian Woodpeckers (Dendrocopos major and D. syriacus) are known to hybridize in nature; however, the extent of this phenomenon is not known due to difficulties in hybrid detection based on plumage analyses. Here, we tested five mar... Read More about Tests of multiple molecular markers for the identification of Great Spotted and Syrian Woodpeckers and their hybrids.
