Application of bacterial bioluminescence to assess the efficacy of fast-acting biocides (2011)
Journal Article
Robinson, G., Tonks, K. M., Thorn, R., & Reynolds, D. M. (2011). Application of bacterial bioluminescence to assess the efficacy of fast-acting biocides. Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 55(11), 5214-5219. https://doi.org/10.1128/AAC.00489-11

Traditional microbiological techniques are used to provide reliable data on the rate and extent of kill for a range of biocides. However, such techniques provide very limited data regarding the initial rate of kill of fast-acting biocides over very s...

Macrobenthic assemblage structure in a cool-temperate intertidal dwarf eelgrass bed in comparison with those from lower latitudes (2011)
Journal Article
Barnes, R. S. K., & Ellwood, M. D. F. (2011). Macrobenthic assemblage structure in a cool-temperate intertidal dwarf eelgrass bed in comparison with those from lower latitudes. Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 104(3), 527-540. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1095-8312.2011.01738.x

The evolution and ecology of latitudinal patterns in marine macrofaunal biodiversity and assemblage structure are contentious. With the aim of investigating the occurrence of such patterns in intertidal dwarf eelgrass beds (Nanozosteraspp.), those at...

The significance of shore height in intertidal macrobenthic seagrass ecology and conservation (2011)
Journal Article
Barnes, R. S., & Ellwood, M. D. F. (2011). The significance of shore height in intertidal macrobenthic seagrass ecology and conservation. Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, 21(7), 614-624. https://doi.org/10.1002/aqc.1234

Benthic faunal assemblages of an intertidal seagrass bed were sampled at three shore heights (LWN, MLW, LWS) at the mouth, mid-point and head of the Steenbok Channel in South Africa's premier seagrass site, the warm-temperate Knysna estuarine bay, Ga...

Colon tumour cells increase PGE 2 by regulating COX-2 and 15-PGDH to promote survival during the microenvironmental stress of glucose deprivation (2011)
Journal Article
Williams, A. C., Moore, A. E., Smartt, H. J., Roberts, H. R., Greenhough, A., & Paraskeva, C. (2011). Colon tumour cells increase PGE 2 by regulating COX-2 and 15-PGDH to promote survival during the microenvironmental stress of glucose deprivation. Carcinogenesis, 32(11), 1741-1747. https://doi.org/10.1093/carcin/bgr210

Due to poor tumour-associated vasculature, tumour cells are subjected to a fluctuating microenvironment with periods of limited oxygen and glucose availability. Adaptive mechanisms to adverse microenvironments are important for tumour cell survival....

Electrochemical sensing devices: From printed materials to printed integration (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Killard, A. (2011, October). Electrochemical sensing devices: From printed materials to printed integration. Presented at 2nd International Conference on Bio-Sensing Technology, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

In an analogy with silicon-based electronics, novel sensing and biosensing technologies must keep pace with the demands of increased sophistication, greater functionality, improved performance, and greater intelligence while still being low cost and...

Printed polyaniline-modified interdigitated electrodes for detection and quantification of ammonia in breath (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Hibbard, T., Crowley, K., Smyth, M., & Killard, A. (2011, October). Printed polyaniline-modified interdigitated electrodes for detection and quantification of ammonia in breath. Poster presented at 2nd International Conference on Bio-Sensing Technology, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

A range of pathological conditions can lead to elevated blood ammonia and urea nitrogen levels. These include kidney and liver dysfunction and urea cycle defects. These conditions result in severe reduction in quality and quantity of life. Blood nitr...

Contributions to reversed-phase column selectivity. II. Cation exchange (2011)
Journal Article
Marchand, D. H., Carr, P. W., McCalley, D. V., Neue, U. D., Dolan, J. W., & Snyder, L. R. (2011). Contributions to reversed-phase column selectivity. II. Cation exchange. Journal of Chromatography A, 1218(40), 7110-7129. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chroma.2011.07.085

The contribution of cation exchange to solute retention for type-B alkylsilica columns (made from high-purity silica) has been examined in terms of the hydrophobic-subtraction (H-S) model of reversed-phase column selectivity. The relative importance... Read More about Contributions to reversed-phase column selectivity. II. Cation exchange.

Dimensional modelling of the fuel outgassing phenomenon: Improving flammability assessment of aircraft fuel tanks (2011)
Journal Article
Harris, A. P., & Ratcliffe, N. M. (2011). Dimensional modelling of the fuel outgassing phenomenon: Improving flammability assessment of aircraft fuel tanks

Fuel outgassing (oxygen evolution) within aircraft fuel tanks presents a serious flammability hazard. Time constants representing oxygen transfer rate, from the fuel into a tank’s ullage, are used to model the effect of outgassing on tank flammabilit...
