Toxoplasma gondii : prevalence in species and genotypes of British bats (Pipistrellus pipistrellus and P. pygmaeus) (2014)
Journal Article

Few studies have investigated Toxoplasma gondii infections in bat populations and none have reported its
presence in protected British bat species. Using a collection of dead/euthanased bats collected from Lancashire,
UK, two species of bats (Pipis... Read More about Toxoplasma gondii : prevalence in species and genotypes of British bats (Pipistrellus pipistrellus and P. pygmaeus).

Firewater storage, treatment, recycling and management : new perspectives based on experiences from the United Kingdom (2014)
Journal Article
Scholz, M. (2014). Firewater storage, treatment, recycling and management : new perspectives based on experiences from the United Kingdom. Water, 6(2), 367-380. https://doi.org/10.3390/w6020367

Smart firewater management and recycling helps reduce water use and protect the environment from pollution. However, contamination of recycled water may pose a health risk to fire fighters. This review assesses international literature to identify be...

Label-free capacitive diagnostics : exploiting local redox probe state occupancy (2014)
Journal Article
Lehr, J., Fernandes, F., Bueno, P., & Davis, J. (2014). Label-free capacitive diagnostics : exploiting local redox probe state occupancy. Analytical Chemistry, 86(5), 2559-2564. https://doi.org/10.1021/ac403727h

An electrode surface confined redox group contributes to a substantial potential-dependent interfacial charging that can be sensitively probed and frequency-resolved by impedance-derived capacitance spectroscopy. In utilizing the sensitivity of this... Read More about Label-free capacitive diagnostics : exploiting local redox probe state occupancy.

In-plane coupling effect on absorption coefficients of InAs/GaAs quantum dots arrays for intermediate band solar cell (2014)
Journal Article
Tomic, S., Sogabe, T., & Okada, Y. (2015). In-plane coupling effect on absorption coefficients of InAs/GaAs quantum dots arrays for intermediate band solar cell. Progress in Photovoltaics, 23(5), 546-558. https://doi.org/10.1002/pip.2455

Coupled semiconductor quantum dot (QD) arrays emerged recently as promising structures for the next generation of
high efficiency intermediate band solar cell (IBSC), because of their ability to facilitate the formation of minibands. The
quantum co... Read More about In-plane coupling effect on absorption coefficients of InAs/GaAs quantum dots arrays for intermediate band solar cell.

Commercial awareness in real estate courses (2014)
Journal Article
Poon, J. (2014). Commercial awareness in real estate courses. Property Management, 32(1), 48-66. https://doi.org/10.1108/PM-01-2013-0007

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to evaluate how and to what extent commercial awareness is embedded within the curriculum of the UK Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS)-accredited real estate courses. It also discusses the developmen... Read More about Commercial awareness in real estate courses.

A review of traditional project procurement towards integrated practice (2014)
Journal Article
Nifa, F., Mohd Nasrun Mohd, N., & Ahmed, V. (2014). A review of traditional project procurement towards integrated practice. American-Eurasian journal of sustainable agriculture, 8(2), 65-70

As a new integrated procurement approach, Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) has been introduced as an alternative towards improving sustainability and integrated construction performance. Currently, however, most of the project procurement or method... Read More about A review of traditional project procurement towards integrated practice.

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.
