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.

Mass media influence and the regulation of illegal practices in the seafood market (2014)
Journal Article
Mariani, S., Ellis, J., O'Reilly, A., Bréchon, A., Sacchi, C., & Miller, D. (2014). Mass media influence and the regulation of illegal practices in the seafood market. Conservation Letters, 7(5), 478-483. https://doi.org/10.1111/conl.12085

Following media exposure on the issue of seafood mislabeling in Ireland, results of repeated forensic testing of cod product labeling suggest that media attention played an important role in determining significant improvements in the supermarket ret...

Surfactant secretion in LRRK2 knock-out rats : changes in lamellar body morphology and rate of exocytosis (2014)
Journal Article
Miklavc, P., Ehinger, K., Thompson, K., Hobi, N., Shimshek, D., & Frick, M. (2014). Surfactant secretion in LRRK2 knock-out rats : changes in lamellar body morphology and rate of exocytosis. PLoS ONE, 9(1), e84926. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0084926

Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) is known to play a role in the pathogenesis of various diseases including Parkinson disease, morbus Crohn, leprosy and cancer. LRRK2 is suggested to be involved in a number of cell biological processes such as ves...

MSLN gene silencing has an anti-malignant effect on cell lines overexpressing mesothelin deriving from malignant pleural mesothelioma (2014)
Journal Article

Genes involved in the carcinogenetic mechanisms underlying malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) are still poorly characterized. So far, mesothelin (MSLN) has aroused the most interest. It encodes for a membrane glycoprotein, frequently over-expressed...

Genome-wide analysis identifies common CNVs associated with primary open angle glaucoma (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Background
Copy number variation (CNV) is one of the major factors contributing to genomic diversity and diseases. Glaucoma is a major neurodegenerative disease causing irreversible vision loss across the globe. We wanted to analyze the impact of co...

The cybersport nexus (2014)
Book Chapter

Exercise machines increasingly incorporate computer-controlled motion and force feedback and will eventually become reactive robotic sports partners.…Today’s rudimentary, narrowband video games will evolve into physically engaging telesports.

Assessment of Lead contamination in Peatlands using field portable XRF (2014)
Journal Article
Shuttleworth, E., Evans, M., Hutchinson, S., & Rothwell, J. (2014). Assessment of Lead contamination in Peatlands using field portable XRF. Water, Air, and Soil Pollution, 225(2), https://doi.org/10.1007/s11270-013-1844-2

Ombrotrophic peatlands are highly sensitive to atmospheric heavy metal deposition. Previous attempts to quantify peatland lead pollution have been undertaken using the inventory approach. However, there can be significant within-site spatial heteroge... Read More about Assessment of Lead contamination in Peatlands using field portable XRF.

An activity-based cost controlling model for improving the management of construction project overheads (2014)
Thesis

Abstract
The construction industry was considered very important as it contributed a significant part of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the economic development of any country. Construction projects appeared to have high expenditures and compl... Read More about An activity-based cost controlling model for improving the management of construction project overheads.
