Characterisation of dissolved organic matter fluorescence properties by PARAFAC analysis and thermal quenching (2014)
Journal Article
Carstea, E. M., Baker, A., Bieroza, M., Reynolds, D. M., & Bridgeman, J. (2014). Characterisation of dissolved organic matter fluorescence properties by PARAFAC analysis and thermal quenching. Water Research, 61, 152-161. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.watres.2014.05.013

The fluorescence intensity of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in aqueous samples is known to be highly influenced by temperature. Although several studies have demonstrated the effect of thermal quenching on the fluorescence of DOM, no research has be...

Simulation of three dimensional double-diffusive throughflow in internally heated anisotropic porous media (2014)
Journal Article

A model for double-diffusive convection in an anisotropic porous layer with a constant throughflow is explored, with penetrative convection being simulated via an internal heat source. The validity of both the linear instability and global nonlinear... Read More about Simulation of three dimensional double-diffusive throughflow in internally heated anisotropic porous media.

Effect of pressure on the selectivity of polymeric C18 and C30 stationary phases in reversed-phase liquid chromatography. Increased separation of isomeric fatty acid methyl esters, triacylglycerols, and tocopherols at high pressure (2014)
Journal Article

A high-density, polymeric C18 stationary phase (Inertsil ODS-P) or a polymeric C30 phase (Inertsil C30) provided improved resolution of the isomeric fatty acids (FAs), FA methyl esters (FAMEs), triacylglycerols (TAGs), and tocopherols with an increas...

Testing the effectiveness of surveying techniques in determining bat community composition within woodland (2014)
Journal Article

Context Determining the biodiversity of an area is essential for making targeted conservation decisions. Undertaking surveys to confirm species presence or to estimate population sizes can be difficult, particularly for elusive species. Bats are able...
