Bioprospecting the thermal waters of the Roman baths: Isolation of oleaginous species and analysis of the FAME profile for biodiesel production (2013)
Journal Article

The extensive diversity of microalgae provides an opportunity to undertake bioprospecting for species possessing features suited to commercial scale cultivation. The outdoor cultivation of microalgae is subject to extreme temperature fluctuations; te...

Coagulation monitoring devices: Past, present, and future at the point of care (2013)
Journal Article

Automated technologies have revolutionised the monitoring of coagulation disorders in the central hospital laboratory setting, allowing for high throughput testing, improved accuracy and precision, accompanied by a marked reduction in human error. Ho... Read More about Coagulation monitoring devices: Past, present, and future at the point of care.

Multiple myeloma: The bone marrow microenvironment and its relation to treatment (2013)
Journal Article

Multiple myeloma is the most common haematological malignancy yet currently it remains incurable. For decades the mainstay in therapy has been non-targeted approaches including genotoxic agents and immunosuppressants. With myeloma predominantly affec...

Bi-directional electrical characterisation of microbial fuel cell (2013)
Journal Article

The electrical performance of microbial fuel cells in steady-state is usually investigated by standard characterisation methods that reveal many important parameters e.g. maximum power. This paper introduces a novel " bi-directional" method to study... Read More about Bi-directional electrical characterisation of microbial fuel cell.

Fatty acid composition and lipogenic enzyme protein expression in subcutaneous adipose tissue of male pigs vaccinated against boar taint, barrows, and entire boars (2013)
Journal Article

Objectives of this study were to compare fatty acid composition of subcutaneous adipose tissue of entire boars, barrows, and male pigs vaccinated against boar taint with a vaccine containing a GnRH analogue-protein conjugate (Improvac, Pfizer Animal...

The effect of long-term storage on the physiochemical and bactericidal properties of electrochemically activated solutions (2013)
Journal Article

Electrochemically activated solutions (ECAS) are generated by electrolysis of NaCl solutions, and demonstrate broad spectrum antimicrobial activity and high environmental compatibility. The biocidal efficacy of ECAS at the point of production is wide...

MFC-cascade stacks maximise COD reduction and avoid voltage reversal under adverse conditions (2013)
Journal Article

Six continuous-flow Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) configured as a vertical cascade and tested under different electrical connections are presented. When in parallel, stable operation and higher power and current densities than individual MFCs were obse...

Conjugated linoleate reduces prostate cancer viability whereas the effects of oleate and stearate are cell line-dependent (2013)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: In this study, responses to fatty acid treatments in commonly used prostate cancer cell culture models and variability of gene expression between them were determined. MATERIALS AND METHODS: PC3, DU145, LNCaP, VCaP and PNT2 cells...
