Penetrative convection in anisotropic porous media with variable permeability (2011)
Journal Article
Capone, F., Gentile, M., & Hill, A. A. (2011). Penetrative convection in anisotropic porous media with variable permeability. Acta Mechanica, 216(1-4), 49-58. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00707-010-0353-2

The onset of penetrative convection in an anisotropic porous medium, for fluids with quadratic density law, is studied. In particular, the effects of anisotropic permeability and thermal diffusivity have been taken into account. © 2010 Springer-Verla...

Fluorescence-based blood coagulation assay device for measuring activated partial thromboplastin time (2011)
Journal Article
Lindahl, T. L., Gustafsson, K. M., Dudek, M. M., Kent, N., Tomas, L., & Killard, A. (2011). Fluorescence-based blood coagulation assay device for measuring activated partial thromboplastin time. Analytical Chemistry, 83(1), 319-328. https://doi.org/10.1021/ac102436v

The measurement of blood clotting time is important in a range of clinical applications such as assessing coagulation disorders and controlling the effect of various anticoagulant drug therapies. Clotting time tests essentially measure the onset of c... Read More about Fluorescence-based blood coagulation assay device for measuring activated partial thromboplastin time.

Nitric oxide and ABA in the control of plant function (2011)
Journal Article
Hancock, J. T., Neill, S., & Wilson, I. D. (2011). Nitric oxide and ABA in the control of plant function. Plant Science, 181(5), 555-559. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.plantsci.2011.03.017

Abscisic acid (ABA) and nitric oxide (NO) are both extremely important signalling molecules employed by plants to control many aspects of physiology. ABA has been extensively studied in the mechanisms which control stomatal movement as well as in see... Read More about Nitric oxide and ABA in the control of plant function.

Bacterial pathogen evolution: Breaking news (2011)
Journal Article
Jackson, R. W., Johnson, L. J., Clarke, S. R., & Arnold, D. L. (2011). Bacterial pathogen evolution: Breaking news. Trends in Genetics, 27(1), 32-40. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tig.2010.10.001

The immense social and economic impact of bacterial pathogens, from drug-resistant infections in hospitals to the devastation of agricultural resources, has resulted in major investment to understand the causes and consequences of pathogen evolution....
