Journal Article
Pryde, D. C., Jones, L. H., Gervais, D. P., Stead, D. R., Blakemore, D. C., Selby, M. D., …McCluskie, M. J. (2013). Selection of a novel anti-nicotine vaccine: influence of antigen design on antibody function in mice. PloS one, 8(10), Article e76557. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0076557

Anti-nicotine vaccines may aid smoking cessation via the induction of anti-nicotine antibodies (Ab) which reduce nicotine entering the brain, and hence the associated reward. Ab function depends on both the quantity (titer) and the quality (affinity)... Read More about Selection of a novel anti-nicotine vaccine: influence of antigen design on antibody function in mice.

The solar-type eclipsing binary system LL Aquarii (2013)
Journal Article
Southworth, J. (2013). The solar-type eclipsing binary system LL Aquarii. Astronomy & Astrophysics, 557, Article A119. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201322195

The eclipsing binary LL Aqr consists of two late-type stars in an eccentric orbit with a period of 20.17 d. We use an extensive light curve from the SuperWASP survey augmented by published radial velocities and UBV light curves to measure the physica...

The competition between halogen bonds (Br⋯O) and C–H⋯O hydrogen bonds: the structure of the acetone–bromine complex revisited (2013)
Journal Article

A combination of single-crystal X-ray (at 110 and 200 K) and high-resolution neutron powder diffraction (110 K only) using perdeuterated samples has been used to re-determine the crystal structure of the well-known acetone–Br2 complex. The results in... Read More about The competition between halogen bonds (Br⋯O) and C–H⋯O hydrogen bonds: the structure of the acetone–bromine complex revisited.

A major problem in the development of low-pollution combustion systems are thermo-acoustic instabilities, i.e. large-amplitude oscillations generated by a feedback between the unsteady heat release and acoustic waves. In order to develop robust contr... Read More about Analysis and Control of an Unstable Mode in a Combustor with Tuneable End Condition.

Stellar variability induced by starspots can hamper the detection of exoplanets and bias planet property estimations. These features can also be used to study star-planet interactions as well as inferring properties from the underlying stellar dynamo...
