Journal Article
Smalley, B. Stellar Fluxes as Probes of Convection in Stellar Atmospheres. https://doi.org/10.1017/S1743921307000300. Manuscript submitted for publication

Convection and turbulence in stellar atmospheres have a significant effect on the emergent flux from late-type stars. The theoretical advancements in convection modelling over recent years have proved challenging for the observers to obtain measureme...

During infection with Schistosoma mansoni the egg stage of this parasite modulates the initial T helper (Th1) response into a Th2 response. This suggests that schistosome eggs contain factors responsible for that effect. We have recently described a...
