Exposure to Plasticiser DEHP Affects Eggs Spawned by Blue Mussels: A Possible Risk to Fertilisation? (2024)
Journal Article
Mincarelli, L. F., Turner, A., Anderson, G., & Wollenberg Valero, K. (2024). Exposure to Plasticiser DEHP Affects Eggs Spawned by Blue Mussels: A Possible Risk to Fertilisation?. Toxics, 12(3), Article 172. https://doi.org/10.3390/toxics12030172

The endocrine disruptive chemical DEHP is a plasticiser often found in marine waters. Here, we assessed the effect of this additive on the number and size of eggs spawned by female mussels during a synchronised spawning event. After achieving the rip...

The Classification of Movement in Infants for the Autonomous Monitoring of Neurological Development (2023)
Journal Article
Turner, A., Hayes, S., & Sharkey, D. (2023). The Classification of Movement in Infants for the Autonomous Monitoring of Neurological Development. Sensors, 23(10), Article 4800. https://doi.org/10.3390/s23104800

Neurodevelopmental delay following extremely preterm birth or birth asphyxia is common but diagnosis is often delayed as early milder signs are not recognised by parents or clinicians. Early interventions have been shown to improve outcomes. Automati... Read More about The Classification of Movement in Infants for the Autonomous Monitoring of Neurological Development.

The Design and Engineering of a Fall and Near-Fall Detection Electronic Textile (2023)
Journal Article
Rahemtulla, Z., Turner, A., Oliveira, C., Kaner, J., Dias, T., & Hughes-Riley, T. (2023). The Design and Engineering of a Fall and Near-Fall Detection Electronic Textile. Materials, 16(5), Article 1920. https://doi.org/10.3390/ma16051920

Falls can be detrimental to the quality of life of older people, and therefore the ability to detect falls is beneficial, especially if the person is living alone and has injured themselves. In addition, detecting near falls (when a person is imbalan... Read More about The Design and Engineering of a Fall and Near-Fall Detection Electronic Textile.

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 170, Article 112624. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpolbul.2021.112624

Little is known about the combined effect of environmental factors and contaminants on commercially important marine species, and whether this effect differs by sex. In this study, blue mussels were exposed for seven days to both single and combined...
