Journal Article
Zholobenko, V., Mordvinova, N., Lebedev, O., Vicente, A., Haslam, J., Al-Ani, A., & fernandez, C. (2019). Synthesis of Nanostructured Catalysts by Surfactant-Templating of Large-Pore Zeolites. RSC advances, 2029-2039. https://doi.org/10.1039/C9NA00004F

Zeolites and related crystalline molecular sieves are utilised in a wide range of reactions and processes due to their regular microporous structure, strong acidity, shape selectivity and ion-exchange properties. However, their practical applications... Read More about Synthesis of Nanostructured Catalysts by Surfactant-Templating of Large-Pore Zeolites.

Aims. We estimate physical parameters for the late-type massive stars observed as part of the VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey (VFTS) in the 30 Doradus region of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Methods. The observational sample comprises 20 candidate re... Read More about The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey - XXX. Red stragglers in the clusters Hodge 301 and SL 639.

The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey - XXXI. Radial velocities and multiplicity constraints of red supergiant stars in 30 Doradus (2019)

Aims. The incidence of multiplicity in cool, luminous massive stars is relatively unknown compared to their hotter counterparts. In this work we present radial velocity (RV) measurements and investigate the multiplicity properties of red supergiants... Read More about The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey - XXXI.

Intracellular Aluminium in Inflammatory and Glial Cells in Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy: A Case Report (2019)
Journal Article
(2019). Intracellular Aluminium in Inflammatory and Glial Cells in Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy: A Case Report. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph16081459

(1) Introduction: In 2006, we reported on very high levels of aluminium in brain tissue in an unusual case of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). The individual concerned had been exposed to extremely high levels of aluminium in their potable water du...

Peptide Cross-Linked Poly (Ethylene Glycol) Hydrogel Films as Biosensor Coatings for the Detection of Collagenase (2019)
Journal Article
Watkinson. (2019). Peptide Cross-Linked Poly (Ethylene Glycol) Hydrogel Films as Biosensor Coatings for the Detection of Collagenase. Sensors, https://doi.org/10.3390/s19071677

Peptide cross-linked poly(ethylene glycol) hydrogel has been widely used for drug delivery and tissue engineering. However, the use of this material as a biosensor for the detection of collagenase has not been explored. Proteases play a key role in t...

Neutron powder diffraction has been used to observe the changes in hydrogen bonding that occur as a function of temperature in ND4IO3 and, thus, determine the structural features that occur during the low-temperature (103 K) phase transition. It is s... Read More about Investigation of the changes in hydrogen bonding accompanying the structural reorganization at 103 K in ammonium iodate.

Signs of accretion in the white dwarf + brown dwarf binary NLTT5306 (2019)
Journal Article

We present new XSHOOTER spectra of NLTT5306, a 0.44 ± 0.04 M? white dwarf in a short period (101 min) binary system with a brown dwarf companion that is likely to have previously undergone common envelope evolution. We have confirmed the presence of... Read More about Signs of accretion in the white dwarf + brown dwarf binary NLTT5306.

Disentangling the spatial substructure of Cygnus OB2 from Gaia DR2 (2019)

For the first time, we have explored the spatial substructure of the Cygnus OB2 association using parallaxes from the recent second Gaia data release. We find significant line-of-sight substructure within the association, which we quantify using a pa... Read More about Disentangling the spatial substructure of Cygnus OB2 from Gaia DR2.
