Conference Proceeding
Ahmad, N., Colak, B., Gibbs, M. J., Zhang, D., Becer, C. R., Watkinson, M., …Krause, S. Collagenase Biosensor Based on the Degradation of Peptide Cross-Linked Poly(Ethylene Glycol) Hydrogel Films. . https://doi.org/10.3390/proceedings2130961

Peptide cross-linked poly(ethylene glycol) hydrogel is a promising biomaterial that has been used widely for drug delivery and tissue engineering. However, the use of this material as a biosensor material for the detection of collagenase has not been...

A search for radius inflation among active M-dwarfs in Praesepe (2018)
Journal Article
Jackson, R. J., Jeffries, R. D., Deliyannis, C. P., Sun, Q., & Douglas, S. T. (2019). A search for radius inflation among active M-dwarfs in Praesepe. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 483(1), 1125-1138. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/sty3184

Rotation periods from Kepler K2 are combined with projected rotation velocities from the WIYN 3.5-m telescope, to determine projected radii for fast-rotating, low-mass ($0.15 \leq M/M_{\odot} \leq 0.6$) members of the Praesepe cluster. A maximum like... Read More about A search for radius inflation among active M-dwarfs in Praesepe.

Structural basis for activation of plasma-membrane Ca2+-ATPase by calmodulin. (2018)
Journal Article
(2018). Structural basis for activation of plasma-membrane Ca2+-ATPase by calmodulin. Communications Biology, 206 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-018-0203-7

Plasma-membrane Ca2+-ATPases expel Ca2+ from the cytoplasm and are key regulators of Ca2+ homeostasis in eukaryotes. They are autoinhibited under low Ca2+ concentrations. Calmodulin (CaM)-binding to a unique regulatory domain releases the autoinhibit... Read More about Structural basis for activation of plasma-membrane Ca2+-ATPase by calmodulin..

Early formation of carbon monoxide in the Centaurus A supernova SN 2016adj (2018)
Journal Article
(2018). Early formation of carbon monoxide in the Centaurus A supernova SN 2016adj. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 806-808. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/sty2255

We present near-infrared spectroscopy of the NGC 5128 supernova SN 2016adj in the first 2 months following discovery. We report the detection of first overtone carbon monoxide emission at ~58.2 d after discovery, one of the earliest detections of CO...

Geophysical assessment of illegally buried toxic waste for a legal enquiry: A case study in Northern Ireland (UK) (2018)
Journal Article
Ruffell, A., Pringle, J. K., Graham, C., Langton, M., & Jones, G. M. (2018). Geophysical assessment of illegally buried toxic waste for a legal enquiry: A case study in Northern Ireland (UK). Environmental Forensics, 19(4), 239-252. https://doi.org/10.1080/15275922.2018.1519740

Buried illegal waste and uncontrolled legal waste dumps are a major problem throughout the world, both in developing and more economically developed countries. Criminal investigations can effectively use geoscience investigations to assist them to be...

Discovery of WASP-174b: Doppler tomography of a near-grazing transit (2018)
Journal Article
Maxted, Hellier, & Smalley. (2018). Discovery of WASP-174b: Doppler tomography of a near-grazing transit. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 5307-5313. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/sty2197

We report the discovery and tomographic detection of WASP-174b, a planet with a near-grazing transit on a 4.23-d orbit around a V = 11.9, F6V star with [Fe/H] = 0.09 ± 0.09. The planet is in a moderately misaligned orbit with a sky-projected spin–orb... Read More about Discovery of WASP-174b: Doppler tomography of a near-grazing transit.

X-ray powder diffraction study of the stability of clathrate hydrates in the presence of salts with relevance to the Martian cryosphere (2018)
Journal Article
Safi, E., Thompson, S. P., Evans, A., Day, S. J., Murray, C. A., Baker, A. R., …Van Loon, J. T. (2019). X-ray powder diffraction study of the stability of clathrate hydrates in the presence of salts with relevance to the Martian cryosphere. Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 245, 304-315. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gca.2018.10.034

Water on the present day Martian surface is thought to exist in two thermally distinct sub-surface reservoirs: as ice in the cryosphere and as groundwater located deeper in the crust. These sub-surface environments are thought to contain saline, rath...
