The morpholino derivative 10 provided interesting results in terms of affinity and specificity toward... Read More about Tetraplex DNA specific ligands based on the fluorenone-carboxamide scaffold.

Modified chalcogenide glasses for optical device applications (2007)
Thesis
Hughes, M. (in press). Modified chalcogenide glasses for optical device applications. (Thesis). University of Southampton

This thesis focuses on two different, but complementary, aspects of the modification of gallium lanthanum sulphide (GLS) glasses. Firstly the addition of transition metal ions as dopants is examined and their potential for use as active optical mat...

The effect of visual stimuli on the horribleness of awful sounds. (2007)
Journal Article
Cox, T. (2007). The effect of visual stimuli on the horribleness of awful sounds. Applied Acoustics, 69(8), 691-703. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apacoust.2007.02.010

A mass web-based experiment has been carried out to explore people’s perception of horrible sounds. The advantage of a web-based methodology is that it enables hundreds of thousands of judgements to be obtained over a diverse population. As part of t...

The emerging role of large cities in transitions to low carbon futures : 'by-passing' the national through political and corporate 'partnerships' (2007)
Presentation / Conference
Hodson, M., & Marvin, S. (2007, April). The emerging role of large cities in transitions to low carbon futures : 'by-passing' the national through political and corporate 'partnerships'. Presented at American Association of Geographers Annual Conference, San Francisco, USA

This paper addresses an issue of increasing contemporary salience: the role of large cities in addressing climate change. Cities perform a central role in the production of greenhouse gas emissions, are highly vulnerable to the consequences of climat...
