Journal Article
Thorn, R., & Greenman, J. (2012). Microbial volatile compounds in health and disease conditions. Journal of Breath Research, 6(2), 024001. https://doi.org/10.1088/1752-7155/6/2/024001

Microbial cultures and/or microbial associated diseases often have a characteristic smell. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are produced by all microorganisms as part of their normal metabolism. The types and classes of VOC produced is wide, includi... Read More about Microbial volatile compounds in health and disease conditions.

Evidence for a population collapse of European eel (Anguilla anguilla) in the Bristol Channel (2012)
Journal Article
Henderson, P. A., Plenty, S. J., Newton, L. C., & Bird, D. J. (2012). Evidence for a population collapse of European eel (Anguilla anguilla) in the Bristol Channel. Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the UK, 92(4), 843-851. https://doi.org/10.1017/S002531541100124X

A 30-year study of the estuarine population of yellow eel, Anguilla anguilla, abundance in Bridgwater Bay, Somerset, UK, shows that the population number has collapsed. Since 1980, the decline has averaged 15% per year. The abundance of eel in 2009 i... Read More about Evidence for a population collapse of European eel (Anguilla anguilla) in the Bristol Channel.

Double diffusive convection in a viscoelastic fluid-saturated porous layer using a thermal non-equilibrium model (2012)
Journal Article
Malashetty, M. S., Hill, A. A., & Swamy, M. (2012). Double diffusive convection in a viscoelastic fluid-saturated porous layer using a thermal non-equilibrium model. Acta Mechanica, 223(5), 967-983. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00707-012-0616-1

The stability of a binary viscoelastic fluid-saturated porous layer which is heated from below is studied, where the fluid and solid phases are not in local thermal equilibrium. The modified Darcy-Oldroyd model is employed as a momentum equation, wit...
