Insulin-like peptide 3 (INSL3) is a major regulator of female reproductive physiology (2018)
Journal Article
Ivell, R., & Anand-Ivell, R. (2018). Insulin-like peptide 3 (INSL3) is a major regulator of female reproductive physiology. Human Reproduction Update, 24(6), 639-651. https://doi.org/10.1093/humupd/dmy029

BACKGROUND
Insulin-like peptide 3 (INSL3) is a member of the relaxin family of neohormones which has evolved to address specifically mammalian aspects of reproduction related to viviparity and internal fertilization. It was originally identified as... Read More about Insulin-like peptide 3 (INSL3) is a major regulator of female reproductive physiology.

Towards low-cost image-based plant phenotyping using reduced-parameter CNN (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Atanbori, J., Chen, F., French, A. P., & Pridmore, T. (2018, September). Towards low-cost image-based plant phenotyping using reduced-parameter CNN. Presented at CVPPP 2018: Workshop on Computer Vision Problems in Plant Phenotyping

Segmentation is the core of most plant phenotyping applications. Current state-of-the-art plant phenotyping applications rely on deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). However, these networks have many layers and parameters, increasing training a... Read More about Towards low-cost image-based plant phenotyping using reduced-parameter CNN.

Analytical ultracentrifugation in saliva research: Impact of green tea astringency and its significance on the in-vivo aroma release (2018)
Journal Article
Dinu, V., Liu, C., Ali, J., Ayed, C., Gershkovich, P., Adams, G. G., Harding, S. E., & Fisk, I. (2018). Analytical ultracentrifugation in saliva research: Impact of green tea astringency and its significance on the in-vivo aroma release. Scientific Reports, 8, 1-9. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-31625-w

Current saliva testing methods rely on cutting edge yet expensive techniques for the detection and analysis of genetic material, proteins and biomarkers for clinical use. However, these techniques are limited in scope and often cannot be used with co...

Metallome of cerebrovascular endothelial cells infected with Toxoplasma gondii using μ-XRF imaging and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (2018)
Journal Article
Al-sandaqchi, A. T., Brignell, C., Collingwood, J. F., Geraki, K., Mirkes, E. M., Kong, K., Castellanos, M., May, S. T., Stevenson, C. W., & Elsheikha, H. M. (2018). Metallome of cerebrovascular endothelial cells infected with Toxoplasma gondii using μ-XRF imaging and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Metallomics, 1401-1414. https://doi.org/10.1039/C8MT00136G

In this study, we measured the levels of elements in human brain microvascular endothelial cells (ECs) infected with T. gondii. ECs were infected with tachyzoites of the RH strain, and at 6, 24, and 48 hours post infection (hpi), the intracellular co...

Characterization of Southeast Asia mangoes (Mangifera indica L) according to their physicochemical attributes (2018)
Journal Article
Lawson, T., Lycett, G. W., Ali, A., & Chin, C. F. (2019). Characterization of Southeast Asia mangoes (Mangifera indica L) according to their physicochemical attributes. Scientia Horticulturae, 243, 189-196. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scienta.2018.08.014

Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is an economically important fruit crop grown in the tropics. One of the important traits of mango for successful commercial production is the storage quality of the fruit. This study was conducted to evaluate the postharv...

Sensitivity of simulated crop yield and nitrate leaching of the wheat-maize cropping system in the North China Plain to model parameters (2018)
Journal Article
Jabloun, M., Li, X., Zhang, X., Tao, F., Hu, C., & Olesen, J. E. (2018). Sensitivity of simulated crop yield and nitrate leaching of the wheat-maize cropping system in the North China Plain to model parameters. Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 263, 25-40. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.agrformet.2018.08.002

Process-based crop simulation models are often over-parameterised and are therefore difficult to calibrate properly. Following this rationale, the Morris screening sensitivity method was carried out on the DAISY model to identify the most influential...
