Parametric sizing study for the design of a lightweight composite railway axle (2021)
Journal Article
Mistry, P. J., Johnson, M. S., Li, S., Bruni, S., & Bernasconi, A. (2021). Parametric sizing study for the design of a lightweight composite railway axle. Composite Structures, 267, Article 113851. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compstruct.2021.113851

The potential for lightweighting of railway axles was investigated to primarily reduce the unsprung mass of a rail vehicle. The reduction of unsprung mass equates to an overall lighter train which will help to reduce track damage, energy consumption...

Characterising Brazilian Housing through an Investigation of Policies, Architecture and Statistics (2021)
Journal Article
Tubelo, R., Rodrigues, L., & Gillott, M. (2021). Characterising Brazilian Housing through an Investigation of Policies, Architecture and Statistics. Journal of Architecture, 26(2), 191-211. https://doi.org/10.1080/13602365.2021.1895279

Defining common housing characteristics such as typology, floor areas and occupancy rates can be challenging in many countries because of the prevalence of self-built and/or self-promoted accommodation. Yet, for researchers, designers and policy make... Read More about Characterising Brazilian Housing through an Investigation of Policies, Architecture and Statistics.

Thermo-mechanical Dynamics of Nanoimprinting Anti-Reflective Structures onto Small-core Mid- IR Chalcogenide Fibers (2021)
Journal Article
Petersen, C. R., Lotz, M. B., Markos, C., Woyessa, G., Furniss, D., Seddon, A. B., …Bang, O. (2021). Thermo-mechanical Dynamics of Nanoimprinting Anti-Reflective Structures onto Small-core Mid- IR Chalcogenide Fibers. Chinese Optics Letters, 19(3), Article 030603

Thermal nanoimprinting is a fast and versatile method for transferring the anti-reflective properties of subwavelength nanostructures onto the surface of highly reflective substrates, such as chalcogenide glass optical fiber end-facets. In this paper... Read More about Thermo-mechanical Dynamics of Nanoimprinting Anti-Reflective Structures onto Small-core Mid- IR Chalcogenide Fibers.

Cavity expansion-contraction based method for tunnel-soil-pile interaction in a unified clay and sand model: drained analysis (2021)
Journal Article
Mo, P.-Q., Marshall, A. M., & Fang, Y. (2021). Cavity expansion-contraction based method for tunnel-soil-pile interaction in a unified clay and sand model: drained analysis. International Journal of Geomechanics, 21(5), https://doi.org/10.1061/%28ASCE%29GM.1943-5622.0002016

This paper proposes an analytical method based on drained solutions of cavity expansion and contraction in a unified clay and sand model to investigate tunnel-soil-pile interactions. Cavity expansion analyses are used to evaluate the effects of pile...

A Model to Investigate the Impact of Farm Practice on Antimicrobial Resistance in UK Dairy Farms (2021)
Journal Article
Lanyon, C. W., King, J. R., Stekel, D. J., & Gomes, R. L. (2021). A Model to Investigate the Impact of Farm Practice on Antimicrobial Resistance in UK Dairy Farms. Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 83(4), Article 36. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11538-021-00865-9

© 2021, The Author(s). The ecological and human health impact of antibiotic use and the related antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in animal husbandry is poorly understood. In many countries, there has been considerable pressure to reduce overall antibio... Read More about A Model to Investigate the Impact of Farm Practice on Antimicrobial Resistance in UK Dairy Farms.

Evaluating the cytotoxicity of Ge–Sb–Se chalcogenide glass optical fibres on 3T3 mouse fibroblasts (2021)
Journal Article
Mabwa, D., Kubiena, T., Parnell, H., Su, R., Furniss, D., Tang, Z., …Seddon, A. B. (2021). Evaluating the cytotoxicity of Ge–Sb–Se chalcogenide glass optical fibres on 3T3 mouse fibroblasts. RSC Advances, 11(15), 8682-8693. https://doi.org/10.1039/d0ra00353k

In vivo cancer detection based on the mid-infrared molecular fingerprint of tissue is promising for the fast diagnosis and treatment of suspected cancer patients. Few materials are mid-infrared transmissive, even fewer, which can be converted into fu...
