Organisational forms of science communication: The UK and Spanish European higher education systems as paradigms (2021)
Journal Article

As key elements in research and development systems, higher education institutions have been taking a leading role when it comes to communicating science and technology, but their performance has been inconsistent so far. In this critical and compara... Read More about Organisational forms of science communication: The UK and Spanish European higher education systems as paradigms.

Identifying resistance in wild and ornamental cherry towards bacterial canker caused by Pseudomonas syringae (2021)
Journal Article

Bacterial canker is a major disease of stone fruits and is a critical limiting factor to sweet cherry (Prunus avium) production worldwide. One important strategy for disease control is the development of resistant varieties. Partial varietal resistan...

Passive impedance sensing using a SAW resonator-coupled biosensor for zero-power wearable applications (2021)
Journal Article

A bio-sensing scheme, which acquires impedance information of a capacitive biosensor by using the reflected RF signal from a surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonator connected to the biosensor, is proposed. This technique requires no power to be supplie... Read More about Passive impedance sensing using a SAW resonator-coupled biosensor for zero-power wearable applications.

Influence of metals in the column or instrument on performance in hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (2021)
Journal Article

A method is proposed for measuring the relative contribution of extracolumn and column effects to the detrimental interactions which occur between metal-sensitive solutes and the complete HPLC system. The method involves the substitution of a length... Read More about Influence of metals in the column or instrument on performance in hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography.
