Journal Article
Moors, E., Biemans, H., Siderius, C., & Collins, D. (2011). Adaptation to changing water resources in the Ganges basin, northern India. Environmental Science and Policy, 14(7), 758-769. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envsci.2011.03.005

An ensemble of regional climate model (RCM) runs from the EU HighNoon project are used to project future air temperatures and precipitation on a 25 km grid for the Ganges basin in northern India, with a view to assessing impact of climate change on w...

The best practice for preparation of samples from FTA®cards for diagnosis of blood borne infections using African trypanosomes as a model system (2011)
Journal Article
Ahmed, H., MacLeod, E., Hide, G., Welburn, S., & Picozzi, K. (2011). The best practice for preparation of samples from FTA®cards for diagnosis of blood borne infections using African trypanosomes as a model system. Parasites and Vectors, 4, 68. https://doi.org/10.1186/1756-3305-4-68

Background: Diagnosis of blood borne infectious diseases relies primarily on the detection of the causative agent
in the blood sample. Molecular techniques offer sensitive and specific tools for this although considerable
difficulties exist when us... Read More about The best practice for preparation of samples from FTA®cards for diagnosis of blood borne infections using African trypanosomes as a model system.

Photocatalytic disinfection using titanium dioxide : spectrum and mechanism of antimicrobial activity (2011)
Journal Article
Foster, H., Ditta, I., Varghese, S., & Steele, A. (2011). Photocatalytic disinfection using titanium dioxide : spectrum and mechanism of antimicrobial activity. Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 90(6), 1847-1868. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00253-011-3213-7

The photocatalytic properties of titanium dioxide
are well known and have many applications
including the removal of organic contaminants and
production of self-cleaning glass. There is an increasing
interest in the application of the photocataly... Read More about Photocatalytic disinfection using titanium dioxide : spectrum and mechanism of antimicrobial activity.

Post-treatment follow-up study of abdominal cystic echinococcosis in Tibetan communities of northwest Sichuan Province, China (2011)
Journal Article

Background: Human cystic echinococcosis (CE), caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus, with the liver as the
most frequently affected organ, is known to be highly endemic in Tibetan communities of northwest Sichuan Province.
Antiparas... Read More about Post-treatment follow-up study of abdominal cystic echinococcosis in Tibetan communities of northwest Sichuan Province, China.

Initial development and validation of a novel extraction method for quantitative mining of the formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue proteome for biomarker investigations (2011)
Journal Article

Annotated formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded
(FFPE) tissue archives constitute a valuable resource for
retrospective biomarker discovery. However, proteomic
exploration of archival tissue is impeded by extensive
formalin-induced covalent cross-lin... Read More about Initial development and validation of a novel extraction method for quantitative mining of the formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue proteome for biomarker investigations.

Optical remote sensing for estimating fuel moisture content in upland vegetation (2011)
Thesis
Almoustafa, T. Optical remote sensing for estimating fuel moisture content in upland vegetation. (Thesis). University of Salford

In the United Kingdom (UK) uncontrolled fires in upland moorlands have a negative effect on biodiversity, soil stability and nutrient dynamics. The control of these fires may be problematic because of the inaccessibility of the terrain. This research...

Multi-Locus sequence analysis reveals profound enetic diversity among isolates of the human athogen bartonella bacilliformis (2011)
Journal Article
Picardeau, M., Chaloner, G., Palmira Ventosilla, & Birtles, R. (2011). Multi-Locus sequence analysis reveals profound enetic diversity among isolates of the human athogen bartonella bacilliformis. PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 5(7), e1248. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pntd.0001248

Bartonella bacilliformis is the aetiological agent of human bartonellosis, a potentially life threatening infection of significant
public health concern in the Andean region of South America. Human bartonellosis has long been recognised in the regio... Read More about Multi-Locus sequence analysis reveals profound enetic diversity among isolates of the human athogen bartonella bacilliformis.

Emergence time and foraging activity in Pallas' Mastiff Bat, Molossus molossus(Chiroptera: Molossidae) in relation to sunset/sunrise and phase of the moon (2011)
Journal Article
Holland, R., Meyer, C. F., Kalko, E., Kays, R., & Wikelski, M. (2011). Emergence time and foraging activity in Pallas' Mastiff Bat, Molossus molossus(Chiroptera: Molossidae) in relation to sunset/sunrise and phase of the moon. Acta Chiropterologica, 13(2), 399-404. https://doi.org/10.3161/150811011X624875

The decision on when to emerge from the safety of a roost and forage for prey is thought to be a result of the trade off between peak insect abundance and predation pressure for bats. In this study we show that the velvety free-tailed bat Molossus mo...
