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..

Leptin inhibits proliferation of breast cancer cells at supraphysiological concentrations by inhibiting mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling. (2014)
Journal Article
WEICHHAUS, M., BROOM, J., WAHLE, K. and BERMANO, G. 2014. Leptin inhibits proliferation of breast cancer cells at supraphysiological concentrations by inhibiting mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling. Oncology letters [online], 8(1), pages 374-378. Available from: https://doi.org/10.3892/ol.2014.2085

Leptin is a hormone secreted by white fat tissue and signals the amount of overall body fat to the hypothalamus. The circulating concentration of leptin correlates with the level of obesity. Breast cancer risk is higher in obese postmenopausal women...

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...

The effect of pH on the photonic efficiency of the destruction of methyl orange under controlled periodic illumination with UV-LED sources. Chemical engineering journal [online], 246, pages 337-342. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cej.2014.03.002

The nature of photon interaction and reaction pH can have significant impacts on semiconductor photocatalysis. This paper describes the effect of pH on the photonic efficiency of photocatalytic reactions in the aqueous phase using TiO2 catalysts. The...

Journal Article
RUSHWORTH, G. F., BLOE, C., DIACK, H. L., REILLY, R., MURRAY, C., STEWART, D. and LESLIE, S. J. 2014. Pre-hospital ECG e-transmission for patients with suspected myocardial infarcation in the Highlands of Scotland. International journal of environmental research and public health [online], 11(2), pages 2346-2360. Available from: https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph110202346

Patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) require prompt treatment, best done by primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). However, for patients unable to receive PPCI, immediate pre-hospital thrombolysis (PHT) is the best alt...
