The influence of sluice gate operation on the migratory behaviour of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar (L.) smolts (2016)
Journal Article
Gardner, C., Rees-Jones, J., Morris, G., Bryant, P., & Lucas, M. (2016). The influence of sluice gate operation on the migratory behaviour of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar (L.) smolts. Journal of Ecohydraulics, 1(1-2), 90-101. https://doi.org/10.1080/24705357.2016.1252251

Numerous studies have examined the effects of high-head dams on salmonid smolt migration, but few have examined smolt behaviour at sluices managed to regulate water levels. We quantified passage success and time to passage of wild and hatchery origin...

Daily rhythmic changes are found in cellular events in cell cycle, DNA repair, apoptosis and angiogenesis in both normal and tumour tissue, as well as in enzymatic activity and drug metabolism. In this paper, we hypothesize that circadian rhythms nee... Read More about The impact of circadian rhythms on medical imaging and radiotherapy regimes for the paediatric patient.

Background Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying of insecticide (IRS) are the primary vector control interventions used to prevent malaria in Africa. Although both interventions are effective in some settings, high-quali...

Redox dynamics in the active layer of an Arctic headwater catchment; examining the potential for transfer of dissolved methane from soils to stream water (2016)
Journal Article
Street, L., Dean, J., Billet, M., Baxter, R., Dinsmore, K., Lessels, J., …Wookey, P. (2016). Redox dynamics in the active layer of an Arctic headwater catchment; examining the potential for transfer of dissolved methane from soils to stream water. Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, 121(11), 2776-2792. https://doi.org/10.1002/2016jg003387

The linkages between methane production, transport, and release from terrestrial and aquatic systems are not well understood, complicating the task of predicting methane emissions. We present novel data examining the potential for the saturated zone...

Evaluating an anaerobic digestion (AD) feedstock derived from a novel non-source segregated municipal solid waste (MSW) product (2016)
Journal Article
Blake, L., Halim, F., Gray, C., Mair, R., Manning, D., Sallis, P., …Gray, N. (2017). Evaluating an anaerobic digestion (AD) feedstock derived from a novel non-source segregated municipal solid waste (MSW) product. Waste Management, 59, 149-159. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.wasman.2016.10.031

In many nations industrial scale AD of non-agricultural waste materials (such as MSW) has not yet reached its full potential, often constrained by the lack of secure, inexpensive, high quality AD feedstocks, and markets for the resulting digestate ma...

An Efficient Method for the Synthesis of Peptoids with Mixed Lysine-type/Arginine-type Monomers and Evaluation of Their Anti-leishmanial Activity (2016)
Journal Article
Bolt, H., Denny, P., & Cobb, S. (2016). An Efficient Method for the Synthesis of Peptoids with Mixed Lysine-type/Arginine-type Monomers and Evaluation of Their Anti-leishmanial Activity. Journal of Visualized Experiments, 117, Article e54750. https://doi.org/10.3791/54750

This protocol describes the manual solid-phase synthesis of linear peptoids that contain two differently functionalized cationic monomers. In this procedure amino functionalized 'lysine' and guanido functionalized 'arginine' peptoid monomers can be i...

Current observed as well as projected changes in biodiversity are the result of multiple interacting factors, with land use and climate change often marked as most important drivers. We aimed to disentangle the separate impacts of these two for sets... Read More about Differentiating the effects of climate and land use change on European biodiversity: A scenario analysis.

Plants capable of selfing are more likely to become naturalized (2016)

Many plant species have established self-sustaining populations outside their natural range because of human activities. Plants with selfing ability should be more likely to establish outside their historical range because they can reproduce from a s...
