Journal Article
Fong, L. S., Leng, M. J., & Taylor, D. (2019). A century of anthropogenic environmental change in tropical Asia: Multi-proxy palaeolimnological evidence from Singapore’s Central Catchment. Holocene, https://doi.org/10.1177/0959683619875808

The environmental ramifications of rapid development on the functioning of warm tropical freshwater ecosystems are poorly understood. Here, a multi-proxy palaeolimnological approach is used to examine the nature and degree of anthropogenic environmen...

The influence of charge on the multiple thermal transitions observed in xanthan (2019)
Journal Article
Abbaszadeh, A., Lad, M., Morris, G., MacNaughtan, W., Sworn, G., & Foster, T. (2019). The influence of charge on the multiple thermal transitions observed in xanthan. Food Hydrocolloids, 97, Article 105184. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodhyd.2019.105184

Helix-coil transitions in xanthans occur at lower temperatures when the pyruvate group is charged, destabilising the polymer chains. Increasing salt content increases the transition temperature by reducing the effective charge on the pyruvate. A simp...
