© 2014 The Authors. The colonization of the human environment by plants, and the consequent evolution of domesticated forms is increasingly being viewed as a co-evolutionary plant-human process that occurred over a long time period, with evidence for...

Calcium leaching from waste steelmaking slag: Significance of leachate chemistry and effects on slag grain mineralogy (2014)
Journal Article
HALL, C., LARGE, D., ADDERLEY, B., & WEST, H. (2014). Calcium leaching from waste steelmaking slag: Significance of leachate chemistry and effects on slag grain mineralogy. Minerals Engineering, 65, 156-162. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mineng.2014.06.002

Accelerated carbonation of alkaline wastes such as steelmaking slag offers the potential to combine waste valorisation with climate change mitigation by utilising carbon dioxide (CO2). One method of achieving this is through an indirect carbonation p...

Heterologous expression and kinetic characterisation of Neurospora crassa ?-xylosidase in Pichia pastoris (2014)
Journal Article
Kirikyali, N., & Connerton, I. (2014). Heterologous expression and kinetic characterisation of Neurospora crassa ?-xylosidase in Pichia pastoris. Enzyme and Microbial Technology, 57, 63-68. doi:10.1016/j.enzmictec.2014.02.002

To degrade plant hemicelluloses fungi employ β-xylosidases to hydrolyse xylooligosaccharides, released by endo-xylanases, into xylose. We have expressed the β-xylosidase from Neurospora crassa in Pichia pastoris under the control of alcohol oxidase 1...

In light of increasing global protein prices and with the need to reduce environmental impact of contemporary systems of milk production, the current review seeks to assess the feasibility of reducing levels of dietary CP in dairy cow diets. At CP le... Read More about Reducing dietary protein in dairy cow diets: implications for nitrogen utilization, milk production, welfare and fertility.

Encountering competitors reduces clutch size and increases offspring size in a parasitoid with female–female fighting (2007)
Journal Article

Understanding the size of clutches produced by only one parent may require a game-theoretic approach: clutch size may affect offspring fitness in terms of future competitive ability. If larger clutches generate smaller offspring and larger adults are...
