An electrochemical sensor device for measuring blood ammonia at the point of care (2017)
Journal Article

The level of ammonia in blood is relevant in a number of medical conditions. While ammonia is a marker of dysfunction, elevated ammonia is itself a serious medical emergency and can lead to significant and permanent neurological impairment if not add...

Voltammetric behaviour of zinc at a 3-D printed carbon nanofiber–graphite–polystyrene electrode and its anodic stripping voltammetric determination in water (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Previous studies have shown the possibility of 3-D printing carbon electrodes. However, these studies required further fabrication steps. In this present investigation we show for the first time the possibility of utilising fully 3-D printed carbon n...

On the stability and uniqueness of the flow of a fluid through a porous medium (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016, The Author(s). In this short note, we study the stability of flows of a fluid through porous media that satisfies a generalization of Brinkman’s equation to include inertial effects. Such flows could have relevance to enhanced oil recovery an... Read More about On the stability and uniqueness of the flow of a fluid through a porous medium.

Ancient phylogenetic divergence of the enigmatic African rodent Zenkerella and the origin of anomalurid gliding (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016 Heritage et al. The "scaly-tailed squirrels" of the rodent family Anomaluridae have a long evolutionary history in Africa, and are now represented by two gliding genera (Anomalurus and Idiurus) and a rare and obscure genus (Zenkerella) that ha...

Alone NO Longer: Interactions of Nitric Oxide with Reactive Oxygen Species and Hydrogen Sulfide (2016)
Journal Article

Nitric oxide (NO) is a hugely important signaling molecule in both animals and plants. In plants, it has been implicated in the control of a host of cellular and physiological events, from roots to leaves, from germination to senescence. It is known...

Oxidative stress and redox signalling in plants (2016)
Book Chapter

Cell signalling is a critically important aspect of biology, being the mechanism by which organisms, tissues and cells coordinate their activity, and survive environmental change and stress. Numerous bio-molecules are involved but small reactive comp... Read More about Oxidative stress and redox signalling in plants.

Stress testing the ELBA water model (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 © 2015 The Author(s). Published by Taylor & Francis. The ELBA coarse-grained model describes a water molecule as a single-site Lennard-Jones particle embedded with a point dipole. ELBA was previously reported to capture several properties of... Read More about Stress testing the ELBA water model.

Dissolved organic carbon transformations and microbial community response to variations in recharge waters in a shallow carbonate aquifer (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016, The Author(s). In carbonate aquifers, dissolved organic carbon from the surface drives heterotrophic metabolism, generating CO2 in the subsurface. Although this has been a proposed mechanism for enhanced dissolution at the water table, respir...

Fluorescence spectroscopy for wastewater monitoring: A review (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016. Wastewater quality is usually assessed using physical, chemical and microbiological tests, which are not suitable for online monitoring, provide unreliable results, or use hazardous chemicals. Hence, there is an urgent need to find a rapid an... Read More about Fluorescence spectroscopy for wastewater monitoring: A review.
