Global honey bee viral landscape altered by a parasitic mite (2012)
Journal Article
Martin, S., Highfield, A., Brettell, L., Nikado, S., Villalobos, E., & Schoder, D. (2012). Global honey bee viral landscape altered by a parasitic mite. Science, 336(6086), 1304-1306. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.1220941

Emerging diseases are among the greatest threats to honey bees. Unfortunately, where and when
an emerging disease will appear are almost impossible to predict. The arrival of the parasitic
Varroa mite into the Hawaiian honey bee population allowed... Read More about Global honey bee viral landscape altered by a parasitic mite.

Coordination and management of information for construction design projects : a framework for Portugal (2012)
Thesis

In the construction industry in Portugal, the coordination and management of
information for construction design projects has been neglected. The use of
classification systems and protocols for the communication of information amongst
the differen... Read More about Coordination and management of information for construction design projects : a framework for Portugal.

A strategic approach to the implementation of information technologies in small and medium-sized architecture, engineering and construction enterprises (2012)
Thesis

It is widely recognised that collaboration in the Architecture, Engineering and
Construction (AEC) sector increases productivity, improves quality, competitiveness
and profitability. This poses the problem of what are the most appropriate collabora... Read More about A strategic approach to the implementation of information technologies in small and medium-sized architecture, engineering and construction enterprises.

Use of artificial sputum medium to test antibiotic efficacy against pseudomonas aeruginosa in conditions more relevant to the cystic fibrosis lung (2012)
Journal Article
Kirchner, S., Fothergill, J., Wright, E., James, C., Mowat, E., & Winstanley, C. (2012). Use of artificial sputum medium to test antibiotic efficacy against pseudomonas aeruginosa in conditions more relevant to the cystic fibrosis lung. Journal of Visualized Experiments, 64, 1-8. https://doi.org/10.3791/3857

There is growing concern about the relevance of in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility tests when applied to isolates of P. aeruginosa from cystic
fibrosis (CF) patients. Existing methods rely on single or a few isolates grown aerobically and plankto... Read More about Use of artificial sputum medium to test antibiotic efficacy against pseudomonas aeruginosa in conditions more relevant to the cystic fibrosis lung.

Landmarks in tourist wayfinding : a review (2012)
Journal Article
