Journal Article
MINAS, K., KARUNAKARAN, E., BOND, T., GANDY, C., HONSBEIN, A., MADSEN, M., AMEZAGA, J., AMTMANN, A., TEMPLETON, M.R., BIGGS, C.A. and LAWTON, L. 2015. Biodesalination: an emerging technology for targeted removal of Na+ and Cl− from seawater by cyanobacteria. Desalination and water treatment [online], 55(10): selected papers presented at 2015 Desalination for the environment conference: clean water and energy, 11-15 May 2014, Limassol, Cyprus, pages 2647-2668. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1080/19443994.2014.940647

Although desalination by membrane processes is a possible solution to the problem of freshwater supply, related cost and energy demands prohibit its use on a global scale. Hence, there is an emerging necessity for alternative, energy and cost-efficie...

Sudden flamingo deaths in Kenyan rift valley lakes. (2014)
Journal Article
STRAUBINGER-GANSBERGER, N., GRUBER, M., KAGGWA, M.N., LAWTON, L., ODUOR, S.O. and SCHAGERI, M. 2014. Sudden flamingo deaths in Kenyan rift valley lakes. Wildlife biology [online], 20(3), pages 185-189. Available from: https://doi.org/10.2981/wlb.00018

The East African Rift Valley Lakes Bogoria and Nakuru sometimes host around 75% of the world population of lesser flamingos Phoeniconaias minor. In this area, mysterious flamingo die-offs have occupied researchers for four decades. Recently, cyanobac... Read More about Sudden flamingo deaths in Kenyan rift valley lakes..

Mathematical modelling of quantum yield enhancements of methyl orange photooxidation in aqueous TiO2 suspensions under controlled periodic UV LED illumination. (2014)
Journal Article
TOKODE, O., PRABHU, R., LAWTON, L.A. and ROBERTSON, P.K.J. 2014. Mathematical modelling of quantum yield enhancements of methyl orange photooxidation in aqueous TiO2 suspensions under controlled periodic UV LED illumination. Applied catalysis B: environmental [online], 156-157, pages 398-403. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apcatb.2014.03.046

Quantum yields of the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange under controlled periodic illumination (CPI) have been modelled using existing models. A modified Langmuir-Hinshelwood (L-H) rate equation was used to predict the degradation reaction...
