A laser induced fluorescence technique for quantifying transient liquid fuel films utilising total internal reflection (2010)
Journal Article

This paper describes the development of a laser induced fluorescence (LIF) technique to quantify the thickness and spatial distribution of transient liquid fuel films formed as a result of spray-wall interaction. The LIF technique relies on the princ... Read More about A laser induced fluorescence technique for quantifying transient liquid fuel films utilising total internal reflection.

Relationship between the expression of key lipogenic enzymes, fatty acid composition, and intramuscular fat content of Limousin and Aberdeen Angus cattle (2010)
Journal Article

The amount and fatty acid composition of intramuscular fat (IMF) are major factors in determining the nutritional value of beef. Understanding the mechanisms regulating IMF formation is important for designing strategies for manipulation of IMF quant...

Food-chain transfer of zinc from contaminated Urtica dioica and Acer pseudoplatanus L. to the aphids Microlophium carnosum and Drepanosiphum platanoidis Schrank (2010)
Journal Article

This study examines the food-chain transfer of Zn from two plant species, Urtica dioica (stinging nettle) and Acer pseudoplatanus (sycamore maple), into their corresponding aphid species, Microlophium carnosum and Drepanosiphum platanoidis. The plant... Read More about Food-chain transfer of zinc from contaminated Urtica dioica and Acer pseudoplatanus L. to the aphids Microlophium carnosum and Drepanosiphum platanoidis Schrank.
