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...

Dragon dance or panda trot? China’s position towards the Iranian Nuclear Programme and its perception of EU unilateral Iran sanctions (2013)
Journal Article

In its foreign policy towards the Iranian nuclear programme, China is unwilling to join the partially harsh anti-Iran rhetoric of the US and the EU3. China has averted the imposition of sanctions and only abstained from its veto power as a permanent... Read More about Dragon dance or panda trot? China’s position towards the Iranian Nuclear Programme and its perception of EU unilateral Iran sanctions.

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.

Newsreel politics : early American non-fiction film and the Irish question (2013)
Journal Article
Blair, P. (2013). Newsreel politics : early American non-fiction film and the Irish question. Post script, 32(3), 59-69

The article examines Irish-themed non-fiction films in early American cinema, tracing the evolution of such work from the silent era to the early sound period. It reveals a trend in the industry to move away from travelogues about Ireland in the 1910... Read More about Newsreel politics : early American non-fiction film and the Irish question.

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...

Quality of life in older adults with aortic stenosis: a narrative review (2013)
Journal Article
Horrocks, J., Closs, J., & Astin, F. (2013). Quality of life in older adults with aortic stenosis: a narrative review. International Journal of Older People Nursing, 9(3), 227-246. https://doi.org/10.1111/opn.12026

Background: Aortic stenosis in older adults can lead to symptoms of breathlessness, dizziness, syncope and angina. While surgical AVR is the optimum treatment, it is not suitable for frail older people who may have other significant comorbidities. TA...

Advocates of the “borderless world” thesis suggest that migrant workers can benefit from employment opportunities available everywhere, with workers simply migrating towards these opportunities. However, as global inequalities widen and potential glo... Read More about The UK migrant cap, migrant mobility and employer implications.

Optimization of an unmanned aerial system' wing using a flexible skin morphing wing (2013)
Journal Article
Sugar-Gabor, O., Koreanschi, A., & Botez, R. (2013). Optimization of an unmanned aerial system' wing using a flexible skin morphing wing. SAE International Journal of Aerospace, 6(1), 115-121. https://doi.org/10.4271/2013-01-2095

In this paper, we describe a practically efficient methodology of improving the aerodynamic characteristics of an UAS's wing using a morphing approach. We have replaced a part of the original wings' upper and lower surfaces with a flexible, composite...
