Low frequency sound propagation in activated carbon (2012)
Journal Article

Activated carbon can adsorb and desorb gas molecules onto and off its surface. Research has examined
whether this sorption affects low frequency sound waves, with pressures typical of audible
sound, interacting with granular activated carbon. Imped... Read More about Low frequency sound propagation in activated carbon.

Differences in iNOS and arginase expression and activity in the macrophages of rats are responsible for the resistance against T. gondii infection (2012)
Journal Article

Toxoplasma gondii infects humans and warm blooded animals causing devastating disease worldwide. It has long been a
mystery as to why the peritoneal macrophages of rats are naturally resistant to T. gondii infection while those of mice are
not. Her... Read More about Differences in iNOS and arginase expression and activity in the macrophages of rats are responsible for the resistance against T. gondii infection.

Detection of Trypanosoma lewisi from wild rats in Southern China and its genetic diversity based on the ITS1 and ITS2 sequences (2012)
Journal Article

Trypanosoma lewisi has widely been considered as a non-pathogenic rat trypanosome. However, more
and more cases of humans infected with T. lewisi have been reported around the world, indicating that
it can infect humans in some undetermined circums... Read More about Detection of Trypanosoma lewisi from wild rats in Southern China and its genetic diversity based on the ITS1 and ITS2 sequences.

Multifaceted facade textures for 3D city models (2012)
Thesis
Bogdahn, J. Multifaceted facade textures for 3D city models. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

Three-dimensional digital representations of cities are widely used today, from urban
planning to navigation systems, emergency response and to energy and flood simu-
lations. Many of these scenarios can be served by one multipurpose 3D city mode... Read More about Multifaceted facade textures for 3D city models.
