Journal Article

Stability of double-diffusive convection induced by selective absorption of radiation in a fluid layer (2012)
Journal Article

Linear and nonlinear stability analyses were performed on a fluid layer with a concentration-based internal heat source. Clear bimodal behaviour in the neutral curve (with stationary and oscillatory modes) is observed in the region of the onset of os...

Electrochemically activated solutions: Evidence for antimicrobial efficacy and applications in healthcare environments (2012)
Journal Article

Due to the limitations associated with the use of existing biocidal agents, there is a need to explore new methods of disinfection to help maintain effective bioburden control, especially within the healthcare environment. The transformation of low m... Read More about Electrochemically activated solutions: Evidence for antimicrobial efficacy and applications in healthcare environments.

Out of sequence communications can affect causal judgement (2012)
Journal Article

In some practical uncertain situations decision makers are presented with described events that are out of sequence when having to make a causal attribution. A theoretical perspective concerning the causal coherence of the explanation is developed to... Read More about Out of sequence communications can affect causal judgement.

Pain intensity and quality of life perception in children with hypermobility syndrome (2012)
Journal Article

Hypermobility syndrome (HMS) is a major source of morbidity in children. Impaired quality of life (QoL) has been observed recently in adults with HMS; however, this issue is yet to be investigated in children with this condition. This study compared...

Suppression of Microdochium nivale by potassium phosphite in cool-season turfgrasses (2012)
Journal Article

Microdochium nivale (Fr.) Samuels and Hallett (teleomorph Monographella nivalis (Schafnitt) is one of the most damaging pathogens of cool-season amenity turfgrasses. The search for new or improved means to reduce susceptibility to M. nivale is an ong... Read More about Suppression of Microdochium nivale by potassium phosphite in cool-season turfgrasses.

Expression of the hepatic skatole- and androstenone-metabolising enzymes in entire male pigs of two live weights (2012)
Journal Article

The aim of the present study was to investigate an in vivo relationship between increased levels of testicular steroids and protein expression of the key enzymes involved in hepatic metabolism of skatole (cytochrome P4502E1 and CYP2E1 and CYP2A) and...

Branch cutting algorithm for unwrapping photoelastic phase map with isotropic point (2012)
Journal Article

A branch cutting algorithm is proposed to solve the wrapped isoclinic causing isochromatic discontinuity and thus to decouple the isoclinicisochromatic interaction of photoelastic phase maps. Rather than pixel by pixel, the branch-cutting isoclinic w... Read More about Branch cutting algorithm for unwrapping photoelastic phase map with isotropic point.

'Dear Prudence’: An overview of tax increment financing (2012)
Journal Article

This paper looks at the use of Tax Increment Financing (TIF) as a tool for levering regeneration and renewal within a wider policy framework. The paper introduces
TIF in an era of low economic growth, while finance is both straitened and increasingl... Read More about 'Dear Prudence’: An overview of tax increment financing.

Lysophosphatidic acid-functionalised titanium as a superior surface for supporting human osteoblast (MG63) maturation (2012)
Journal Article

Covalent modifications of titanium with small molecules
known to promote human osteoblast maturation are
especially attractive in developing superior biomaterials.
An important step in securing competent bone formation
at implant sites is promoti... Read More about Lysophosphatidic acid-functionalised titanium as a superior surface for supporting human osteoblast (MG63) maturation.

Double diffusive convection in a viscoelastic fluid-saturated porous layer using a thermal non-equilibrium model (2012)
Journal Article

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...
