Shape Transformations of Lipid Bilayers Following Rapid Cholesterol Uptake (2016)
Journal Article
Rahimi, M., Regan, D., Arroyo, M., Subramaniam, A., Stone, H., & Staykova, M. (2016). Shape Transformations of Lipid Bilayers Following Rapid Cholesterol Uptake. Biophysical Journal, 111(12), 2651-2657. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bpj.2016.11.016

High cholesterol levels in the blood increase the risk of atherosclerosis. A common explanation is that the cholesterol increase in the plasma membrane perturbs the shape and functions of cells by disrupting the cell signaling pathways and the format...

Sub-nanometer resolution imaging with amplitude-modulation atomic force microscopy in liquid (2016)
Journal Article
Miller, E., Trewby, W., Farokh Payam, A., Piantanida, L., Cafolla, C., & Voïtchovsky, K. (2016). Sub-nanometer resolution imaging with amplitude-modulation atomic force microscopy in liquid. Journal of Visualized Experiments, Article e54924. https://doi.org/10.3791/54924

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has become a well-established technique for nanoscale imaging of samples in air and in liquid. Recent studies have shown that when operated in amplitude-modulation (tapping) mode, atomic or molecular-level resolution ima...

Understanding surface interactions in aqueous miscible organic solvent treated layered double hydroxides (2016)
Journal Article
Erastova, V., Degiacomi, M. T., O'Hare, D., & Greenwell, H. C. (2017). Understanding surface interactions in aqueous miscible organic solvent treated layered double hydroxides. RSC Advances, 7(9), 5076-5083. https://doi.org/10.1039/c6ra26834j

Layered materials are of interest for use in a wealth of technological applications, many of which require a high surface area for optimal properties and performance. Recently, an industrially scalable method to create high surface area layered doubl...

Lee, & G. Blank (Eds.), The Sage handbook of online research methods (596-610). (2nd ed.). SAGE Publications

This chapter explores how, what Thrift (2005) has termed knowing capitalism, is increasingly invested in developing new techniques, methodological frameworks, and cultural discourses that exploit the potential of social cartography to realize new for...

Diverse and just? The role of quota-based selection policies on organizational outcomes (2016)
Journal Article
Shaughnessy, B., Braun, S., Hentschel, T., & Peus, C. (2016). Diverse and just? The role of quota-based selection policies on organizational outcomes. European Journal of Social Psychology, 46(7), 880-890. https://doi.org/10.1002/ejsp.2208

Quota-based selection systems are viewed as a way to overcome biases; however, they may produce negative effects on the individuals as well as on the organizations that enact said procedures. To date, the processes underlying these negative effects h... Read More about Diverse and just? The role of quota-based selection policies on organizational outcomes.

Osmium uptake, distribution, and 187Os/188Os and 187Re/188Os compositions in Phaeophyceae macroalgae, Fucus vesiculosus: Implications for determining the 187Os/188Os composition of seawater (2016)
Journal Article
Racionero-Gómez, B., Sproson, A., Selby, D., Gannoun, A., Gröcke, D., Greenwell, H., & Burton, K. (2016). Osmium uptake, distribution, and 187Os/188Os and 187Re/188Os compositions in Phaeophyceae macroalgae, Fucus vesiculosus: Implications for determining the 187Os/188Os composition of seawater. Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 199, 48-57. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gca.2016.11.033

The osmium isotopic composition (187Os/188Os) of seawater reflects the balance of input from mantle-, continental- and anthropogenic-derived sources. This study utilizes the Phaeophyceae, Fucus vesiculosus, to analyse its Os abundance and uptake, as...

Within cognitive science and narrative theory, the ‘transparency of the mind’ is a shared optical image to describe the accessibility of cognitive processes and phenomenological experiences. This seeming terminological convergence, however, conceals... Read More about The Opacity of Fictional Minds: Transparency, Interpretive Cognition and the Exceptionality Thesis.
