Khellinoflavanone, a Semisynthetic Derivative of Khellin, Overcomes Benzo[ a]pyrene Toxicity in Human Normal and Cancer Cells That Express CYP1A1 (2018)
Journal Article

Copyright © 2018 American Chemical Society. Cytochrome P450 family 1 (CYP1) enzymes catalyze the metabolic activation of environmental procarcinogens such as benzo[a]pyrene, B[a]P, into carcinogens, which initiates the process of carcinogenesis. Thus... Read More about Khellinoflavanone, a Semisynthetic Derivative of Khellin, Overcomes Benzo[ a]pyrene Toxicity in Human Normal and Cancer Cells That Express CYP1A1.

Nonantioxidant Tetramethoxystilbene Abrogates α-Synuclein-Induced Yeast Cell Death but Not That Triggered by the Bax or βa4 Peptide (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 American Chemical Society. The overexpression of α-synuclein (α-syn) and its aggregation is the hallmark of Parkinson's disease. The α-syn aggregation results in the formation of Lewy bodies that causes neuronal cell death. Therefore, the smal...

Industrial or traditional bamboo construction? Comparative life cycle assessment (LCA) of bamboo-based buildings (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 by the authors. The past five decades have witnessed an unprecedented growth in population. This has led to an ever-growing housing demand. It has been proposed that the use of bio-based materials, and specifically bamboo, can help alleviate t... Read More about Industrial or traditional bamboo construction? Comparative life cycle assessment (LCA) of bamboo-based buildings.

Operations flow effectiveness: a systems approach to measuring flow performance (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018, Emerald Publishing Limited. Purpose: Effective operations management systems (OMS) measurement remains a critical issue for theorists and practising managers (Neely, 2005; Bititci et al., 2012). Traditional labor efficiency measures sufficed... Read More about Operations flow effectiveness: a systems approach to measuring flow performance.

Biotransformation, Using Recombinant CYP450-Expressing Baker's Yeast Cells, Identifies a Novel CYP2D6.10A122V Variant Which Is a Superior Metabolizer of Codeine to Morphine Than the Wild-Type Enzyme (2018)
Journal Article

© Copyright 2018 American Chemical Society. CYP2D6, a cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme, metabolizes codeine to morphine. Within the human body, 0-15% of codeine undergoes O-demethylation by CYP2D6 to form morphine, a far stronger analgesic than codeine....

Bamboo reinforced concrete: a critical review (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018, The Author(s). The use of small diameter whole-culm (bars) and/or split bamboo (a.k.a. splints or round strips) has often been proposed as an alternative to relatively expensive reinforcing steel in reinforced concrete. The motivation for suc... Read More about Bamboo reinforced concrete: a critical review.

Is transport planning fit for purpose? (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Transport planning to those outside the profession may be invisible or misconstrued, yet for those on the inside we see its significance to each and every person in society. Transport planning is about developing the transport system and its use in a... Read More about Is transport planning fit for purpose?.

10‐year review of  the competencies expected of  transport planning professionals (2018)
Report

2018 marks 10 years since the Transport Planning Professional (TPP) qualification was launched. Since then over 200 transport planners have secured TPP status with many more on their journey towards being qualified. A lot has changed in those 10 year...

The many assumptions about self‐driving cars – Where are we heading and who is in the driving seat? (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Will our future be filled with self-driving cars? If so, when are they due to hit our streets, will they have steering wheels, and will people own them or hail them? There is, we suggest, an ‘emotive enthusiasm’ amongst policymakers and industry play...

Finding the power for the electric revolution (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Electrical storage and power technologies have made a breakthrough in capability to create a new industry of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, and the usage envelope has expanded such that personal-transport systems are being proposed. However, the very tech... Read More about Finding the power for the electric revolution.
