The taxonomic and genomic investigation of soil microorganisms associated with Acute Oak Decline (2023)
Thesis
Maddock, D. The taxonomic and genomic investigation of soil microorganisms associated with Acute Oak Decline. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/10337378

Cases of the current episode of Acute Oak Decline (AOD) were first described in the UK in 2008 on native British oaks, but currently this disease is seen to affect most species of oak on a global scale. The disease has become a focus of forest resear... Read More about The taxonomic and genomic investigation of soil microorganisms associated with Acute Oak Decline.

Diversity and inclusion: Creating a culture of equity in the biosciences (2023)
Presentation / Conference
Adukwu, E. (2023, September). Diversity and inclusion: Creating a culture of equity in the biosciences. Presented at Bioscience Education Summit 2023, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UK

Abstract: Globally, science remains exclusive and inequalities continue for minoritised communities in the UK, US and across the world. Access to learning resources, quality of learning experiences and graduate outcomes continues to impact minoritise...

Enhancing radiological monitoring of 137Cs in coastal environments using taxonomic signals in brown seaweeds (2023)
Journal Article
Hunt, D., Dewar, A., Dal Molin, F., & Willey, N. (2023). Enhancing radiological monitoring of 137Cs in coastal environments using taxonomic signals in brown seaweeds. Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 268-269, Article 107261. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvrad.2023.107261

With the rapidly expanding global nuclear industry, more efficient and direct radiological monitoring approaches are needed to ensure the associated environmental health impacts and risk remain fully assessed and undertaken as robustly as possible. C... Read More about Enhancing radiological monitoring of 137Cs in coastal environments using taxonomic signals in brown seaweeds.

Genomic analysis of two novel bacteriophages infecting acinetobacter beijerinckii and halotolerans species (2023)
Journal Article
Gomes, M., Domingues, R., Turner, D., & Oliveira, H. (2023). Genomic analysis of two novel bacteriophages infecting acinetobacter beijerinckii and halotolerans species. Viruses, 15(3), 643. https://doi.org/10.3390/v15030643

Bacteriophages are the most diverse genetic entities on Earth. In this study, two novel bacteriophages, nACB1 (Podoviridae morphotype) and nACB2 (Myoviridae morphotype), which infect Acinetobacter beijerinckii and Acinetobacter halotolerans, respecti...

Members of the family Chaseviridae are lytic bacterial viruses infecting representatives of the bacterial class Gammaproteobacteria. Chaseviruses have a global distribution. Virions of members of this family have a myovirus morphology (icosahedral he... Read More about ICTV virus taxonomy profile: Chaseviridae 2022.

The in situ production of aquatic fluorescent organic matter in a simulated freshwater laboratory model (2022)
Journal Article
Perrin, E. M., Thorn, R. M., Sargeant, S. L., Attridge, J. W., & Reynolds, D. M. (2022). The in situ production of aquatic fluorescent organic matter in a simulated freshwater laboratory model. Frontiers in Microbiology, 13, Article 817976. https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2022.817976

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is ubiquitous throughout aquatic systems. Fluorescence techniques can be used to characterize the fluorescing proportion of DOM, aquatic fluorescent organic matter (AFOM). AFOM is conventionally named in association wit...

CFD simulation of fish-like body moving in viscous liquid (2006)
Journal Article
Adkins, D., & Yan, Y. Y. (2006). CFD simulation of fish-like body moving in viscous liquid. Journal of Bionic Engineering, 3(3), 147-153. https://doi.org/10.1016/S1672-6529%2806%2960018-8

The study of fish-like bodies moving in liquid is an interesting and challenging research subject in the fields of biolocomotion and biomimetics. Typically the effect of tail oscillation on fluid flow around such a body is highly unsteady, generating... Read More about CFD simulation of fish-like body moving in viscous liquid.
