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).

CAPER, a novel regulator of human breast cancer progression (2014)
Journal Article

CAPE R is an estrogen receptor (ER) co-activator that was recently shown to be involved in human breast cancer pathogenesis.
Indeed, we reported increased expression of CAPE R in human breast cancer specimens. We demonstrated that
CAPE R was undete... Read More about CAPER, a novel regulator of human breast cancer progression.

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
