Cebus Phylogenetic relationships: A preliminary reassessment of the diversity of the untufted capuchin monkeys (2012)
Journal Article
Boubli, J., Rylands, A., Farias, I., Alfaro, M., & Alfaro, J. (2012). Cebus Phylogenetic relationships: A preliminary reassessment of the diversity of the untufted capuchin monkeys. American Journal of Primatology, 74(4), 381-393. https://doi.org/10.1002/ajp.21998

The untufted, or gracile, capuchin monkeys are currently classiﬁed in four species, Cebus albifrons, C.
capucinus, C. olivaceus, and C. kaapori, with all but C. kaaporihaving numerous described subspecies.
The taxonomy is controversial and their ge... Read More about Cebus Phylogenetic relationships: A preliminary reassessment of the diversity of the untufted capuchin monkeys.

Intraspecific variability in the parasitoid wasp Trichogramma chilonis : can we predict the outcome of hybridization? (2012)
Journal Article

In the framework of biological control, the selection of effective natural enemies
determines the ﬁnal pest control. Thus, the genetic improvement of biocontrol
agents could enhance the efﬁciency of biocontrol programs. Although promising,
this ap... Read More about Intraspecific variability in the parasitoid wasp Trichogramma chilonis : can we predict the outcome of hybridization?.

PPARγ as a molecular target of EPA anti-inflammatory activity during TNF-α-impaired skeletal muscle cell differentiation (2012)
Journal Article
Magee, P., Pearson, S., Whittingham-Dowd, J., & Allen, J. (2012). PPARγ as a molecular target of EPA anti-inflammatory activity during TNF-α-impaired skeletal muscle cell differentiation. Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry, 23(11), 1440-1448. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jnutbio.2011.09.005

Activated skeletal muscle satellite cells facilitate muscle repair or growth through proliferation, differentiation and fusion into new or existing myotubes. Elevated levels of the proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) impair this...

This paper tests the application of airborne hyperspectral image data for estimating live vegetation fuel moisture content (FMC) in a Calluna vulgaris-dominated semi-natural upland area in the United Kingdom. Airborne hyperspectral imagery was collec... Read More about Mapping fuel moisture content in upland vegetation using airborne hyperspectral imagery.

Post-disaster construction & demolition debris management : a Sri Lanka case study (2012)
Journal Article

The increasing nature of impacts from disasters has made post disaster management a key area of concern. The management of disaster waste is revealed as an area of least concern yet it presents momentous challenges for those with inadequate capacitie...

Impact of integrating disaster risk reduction philosophies into infrastructure reconstruction projects in Sri Lanka (2012)
Journal Article
Palliyaguru, R., Amaratunga, R., & Haigh, R. (2012). Impact of integrating disaster risk reduction philosophies into infrastructure reconstruction projects in Sri Lanka. Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 18(5), 685-700. https://doi.org/10.3846/13923730.2012.723322

Major impacts on infrastructures due to natural and man-made hazards could result in secondary and additional impacts, compounding the problem for those communities already affected by the hazard. Integration of disaster risk reduction (DRR) philosop... Read More about Impact of integrating disaster risk reduction philosophies into infrastructure reconstruction projects in Sri Lanka.
