Modeling of liquid internal energy and heat capacity over a wide pressure–temperature range from first principles (2020)
Journal Article
Proctor, J. (2020). Modeling of liquid internal energy and heat capacity over a wide pressure–temperature range from first principles. Physics of Fluids, 32, 107105. https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0025871

Recently, there have been significant theoretical advances in our understanding of liquids and dense supercritical fluids based on their ability to support high frequency transverse (shear) waves. Here, we have constructed a new computer model using... Read More about Modeling of liquid internal energy and heat capacity over a wide pressure–temperature range from first principles.

Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) of plants continue to devastate ecosystems and livelihoods worldwide. Effective management requires surveillance to detect epidemics at an early stage. However, despite the increasing use of risk-based surveillance... Read More about Optimising risk-based surveillance for early detection of invasive plant pathogens.

An experimental study on high-pressure water jets for paraffin scale removal in partially blocked production tubings (2020)
Journal Article

The common practice of using chemicals and solid-entrained liquids to remove soft scales in production tubings is associated with a high risk of contaminating the environment and eroding pipe internal surfaces. Due to the suspended solids, the curren... Read More about An experimental study on high-pressure water jets for paraffin scale removal in partially blocked production tubings.

A New Method for Detecting Altered Text in Document Images (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

As more and more office documents are captured, stored, and shared in digital format, and as image editing software becomes increasingly more powerful, there is a growing concern about document authenticity. For example, texts in property documents c... Read More about A New Method for Detecting Altered Text in Document Images.

A New DCT-FFT Fusion Based Method for Caption and Scene Text Classification in Action Video Images (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Achieving better recognition rate for text in video action images is challenging due to multi-type texts with unpredictable backgrounds. We propose a new method for the classification of captions (which is edited text) and scene texts (which is part...

CO2 injection. Core flooding process was used to simulate the displa... Read More about Enhanced gas recovery by CO2 injection : influence of monovalent and divalent brines and their concentrations on CO2 dispersion in porous media.

Do bacteria implicated in Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia adapt to antibiotic exposure? (2020)
Thesis
Parkes, J. Do bacteria implicated in Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia adapt to antibiotic exposure?. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Antibiotics have been key to the treatment of bacterial infections since their introduction, but the increasing levels of antimicrobial resistance is a concern. Patients with serious respiratory conditions, such as those often encountered within crit... Read More about Do bacteria implicated in Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia adapt to antibiotic exposure?.

Interleukin-33 rescues perivascular adipose tissue anticontractile function in obesity (2020)
Journal Article

Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) depots are metabolically active and play a major vasodilator role in healthy lean individuals. In obesity, they become inflamed and eosinophil-depleted and the anticontractile function is lost with the development o...
