The impact of ionized outflows on the surrounding interstellar medium in disc galaxies (2018)
Thesis
Al-Sadooni, A. A. H. (2018). The impact of ionized outflows on the surrounding interstellar medium in disc galaxies. (Thesis). Keele University. Retrieved from https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/412028

The aim of this thesis was to study the evolution of spiral galaxies by quantifying the impact of the ionized outflows in spiral galaxies on the surrounding interstellar medium. This project was based on optical Fabry-P´erot and long-slit observation... Read More about The impact of ionized outflows on the surrounding interstellar medium in disc galaxies.

Benchmarking students’ ability after any transition between levels of study allows tailored teaching, but requires careful question design. Katherine Haxton shares her tips for where to begin

Enhanced methane reforming activity of a hydrothermally synthesised co-doped perovskite catalyst (2018)
Journal Article
Khazaal, M. H., Staniforth, J. Z., Alfatlawi, Z. A., Ormerod, R. M., & Darton, R. (2018). Enhanced methane reforming activity of a hydrothermally synthesised co-doped perovskite catalyst. Energy and Fuels, 32(12), 12826–12832. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.energyfuels.8b02848

A catalyst for the direct reforming of methane and simulated biogas has been prepared using a green and low temperature hydrothermal method. The nickel and iron co-doped SrZrO3 perovskite shows catalytic activity comparable to 10% Ni/Al2O3, but with...

Non-standard s-process in massive rotating stars (2018)
Journal Article
Hirschi, R. (2018). Non-standard s-process in massive rotating stars. Astronomy and Astrophysics, https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201833283

Context
Recent studies show that rotation significantly affects the s-process in massive stars.

Aims
We provide tables of yields for non-rotating and rotating massive stars between 10 and 150 M? at Z = 10-3 ([Fe/H] = -1.8). Tables for different... Read More about Non-standard s-process in massive rotating stars.

The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey. XXIX. Massive star formation in the local 30 Doradus starburst (2018)
Journal Article
Van Loon. (2018). The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey. XXIX. Massive star formation in the local 30 Doradus starburst. Astronomy & Astrophysics, https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201833433

The 30 Doradus (30 Dor) nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is the brightest HII region in the Local Group and a prototype starburst similar to those found in high redshift galaxies. It is thus a stepping stone to understand the complex format... Read More about The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey. XXIX. Massive star formation in the local 30 Doradus starburst.

Stereoselective organocatalyzed glycosylations – thiouracil, thioureas and monothiophthalimide act as Brønsted acid catalysts at low loadings (2018)
Journal Article
Bradshaw, G. A., Colgan, A. C., Allen, N. P., Pongener, I., Boland, M. B., Ortin, Y., & McGarrigle, E. M. (in press). Stereoselective organocatalyzed glycosylations – thiouracil, thioureas and monothiophthalimide act as Brønsted acid catalysts at low loadings. Chemical Science, 10(2), 508-514. https://doi.org/10.1039/c8sc02788a

Thiouracil catalyzes stereoselective glycosylations with galactals in loadings as low as 0.1 mol%. It is proposed that in these glycosylations thiouracil, monothiophthalimide, and the previously reported catalyst, Schreiner's thiourea, do not operate...

Relationship Between Hydrocarbon Composition on the Cuticle of Melipona quadrifasciata (Hymenoptera: Apidae) Workers and the Secretion of the Cephalic Salivary Glands (2018)
Journal Article
Poiani, S. B., Morgan, E., Drijfhout, F. P., & Cruz-Landim, C. (2018). Relationship Between Hydrocarbon Composition on the Cuticle of Melipona quadrifasciata (Hymenoptera: Apidae) Workers and the Secretion of the Cephalic Salivary Glands. Sociobiology, 671 - 678. https://doi.org/10.13102/sociobiology.v65i4.3384

Since chemical communication is pivotal for social insect success, the present paper aimed to quantify and qualify the chemical compounds that might have pheromonal role in both cephalic salivary gland and epicuticle of workers of Melipona quadrifasc...

WASP-147b, 160Bb, 164b, and 165b: two hot Saturns and two Jupiters, including two planets with metal-rich hosts (2018)
Journal Article
Lendl, M., Anderson, D. R., Bonfanti, A., Bouchy, F., Burdanov, A., Collier Cameron, A., …West, R. G. (2019). WASP-147b, 160Bb, 164b, and 165b: two hot Saturns and two Jupiters, including two planets with metal-rich hosts. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 482(1), 301 -312. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/sty2667

We report the discovery of four transiting hot Jupiters, WASP-147, WASP-160B, WASP-164, and WASP-165 from the WASP survey. WASP-147b is a near Saturn-mass (MP = 0.28MJ) object with a radius of 1.11RJ orbiting a G4 star with a period of 4.6 d. WASP-16...
