A simple parametrisation of the pion form factor (2025)
Journal Article
Kirk, M., Kubis, B., Reboud, M., & van Dyk, D. (2025). A simple parametrisation of the pion form factor. Physics Letters B, 861, Article 139266. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2025.139266

We discuss a novel and simple parametrisation of the pion vector form factor that transparently connects spacelike and timelike regions of the momentum transfer q2. Our parametrisation employs the framework of conformal mapping and respects the known... Read More about A simple parametrisation of the pion form factor.

Seas of change: An evolving imaginary of offshore energy capture on the United Kingdom's Continental Shelf (2025)
Journal Article
Kraushaar-Friesen, N., Bridge, G., & Kuchler, M. (2025). Seas of change: An evolving imaginary of offshore energy capture on the United Kingdom's Continental Shelf. Energy Research and Social Science, 120, Article 103889. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.erss.2024.103889

The offshore waters surrounding the United Kingdom have been an important national space for energy capture for over six decades. Hosting oil and gas production, large-scale renewable electricity generation and potential sites for carbon storage, the...

Sustainable agriculture: Assessing the feasibility of biogas derived energy generation on a UK mixed-model farm (2025)
Journal Article
Shorrocks, W., Wang, Y., & Huang, Y. (2025). Sustainable agriculture: Assessing the feasibility of biogas derived energy generation on a UK mixed-model farm. Energy Reports, 13, 1537-1547. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egyr.2025.01.018

This paper investigates the technical, economic and environmental feasibility of implementing a combined energy generation system powered by anaerobic digestion on a UK mixed-model farm. Initially a case study farm was selected, followed by a researc... Read More about Sustainable agriculture: Assessing the feasibility of biogas derived energy generation on a UK mixed-model farm.

Novel metal sites revealed by spectroscopic and structural characterization of the ferric uptake regulator from Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans (2025)
Journal Article
Argandoña, Y., Olivos, A., Obando, P., Imas, F., Pohl, E., Quatrini, R., & Arenas-Salinas, M. (2025). Novel metal sites revealed by spectroscopic and structural characterization of the ferric uptake regulator from Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 27, 765-777. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.csbj.2025.02.017

Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans (Af.) is a microorganism of significant biotechnological interest that thrives in acidic environments with very high concentrations of soluble iron. Understanding the molecular mechanisms that enable its survival in the...

Examining the impact of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) on life and relationship quality: An online cross-sectional survey study. (2025)
Journal Article
Hodgetts, S., & Kinghorn, A. (in press). Examining the impact of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) on life and relationship quality: An online cross-sectional survey study. PLoS ONE,

Little is known regarding the impact of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) on specific aspects of life quality within the home, such as spousal/partner relationships. Moreover, the impact of PMDD on the partners of those with the condition has no...
