Purpose
– Government policies in many countries are trying to accelerate conservation of energy as part of wider carbon management or energy security strategies. This paper aims to describe a trial that tested a behaviour change strategy that combin... Read More about Behaviour change strategies for energy efficiency in owner‐occupied housing.

Urban sprawl management, smart growth : challenges from the implementation phase (2013)
Journal Article
Trillo, C. (2013). Urban sprawl management, smart growth : challenges from the implementation phase. International Journal of Society Systems Science, 5(3), 261. https://doi.org/10.1504/IJSSS.2013.055889

In the mid-90s in the USA, the smart growth movement emerged, promoting a blended approach to urban sprawl management. This paper aims to explore the potential of smart growth to contribute in the achievement of effective urban sprawl management. To...

A comparison of habitat use by phyllostomid bats (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) in natural forest fragments and Eucalyptus plantations in the Brazilian Cerrado (2013)
Journal Article
Pina, S., Meyer, C. F., & Zórtea, M. (2013). A comparison of habitat use by phyllostomid bats (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) in natural forest fragments and Eucalyptus plantations in the Brazilian Cerrado. Chiroptera Neotropical (Impresso), 19(3), 14-30

We compared bat assemblages in semideciduous forest fragments in Brazilian Cerrado with those of eucalyptus plantations (Eucalyptus spp.). Specifically, we assessed differences in species richness, diversity, abundance, and species composition betwee...

Microbial oxidation of Fe21 and pyrite exposed to flux of micromolar H2O2 in acidic media (2013)
Journal Article
Ma, Y., & Lin, C. (2013). Microbial oxidation of Fe21 and pyrite exposed to flux of micromolar H2O2 in acidic media. Scientific reports, 3(1979), 1-10. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep01979

At an initial pH of 2, while abiotic oxidation of aqueous Fe21 was enhanced by a flux of H2O2 at micromolar
concentrations, bio-oxidation of aqueous Fe21 could be impeded due to oxidative stress/damage in
Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans caused by Fe... Read More about Microbial oxidation of Fe21 and pyrite exposed to flux of micromolar H2O2 in acidic media.

A new role for P2X4 receptors as modulators of lung surfactant secretion (2013)
Journal Article
Miklavc, P., Thompson, K., & Frick, M. (2013). A new role for P2X4 receptors as modulators of lung surfactant secretion. Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 7, https://doi.org/10.3389/fncel.2013.00171

In recent years, P2X receptors have attracted increasing attention as regulators of exocytosis and cellular secretion. In various cell types, P2X receptors have been found to stimulate vesicle exocytosis directly via Ca2+ influx and elevation of the...
