The burden of severe asthma in childhood and adolescence: Results from the paediatric U-BIOPRED cohorts (2015)
Journal Article
Fleming, L., Murray, C., Bansal, A. T., Hashimoto, S., Bisgaard, H., Bush, A., …Roberts, G. (2015). The burden of severe asthma in childhood and adolescence: Results from the paediatric U-BIOPRED cohorts. European Respiratory Journal, 46(5), https://doi.org/10.1183/13993003.00780-2015

U-BIOPRED aims to characterise paediatric and adult severe asthma using conventional and innovative systems biology approaches. A total of 99 school-age children with severe asthma and 81 preschoolers with severe wheeze were compared with 49 schoo...

A new equation of state for CCS pipeline transport: Calibration of mixing rules for binary mixtures of CO2 with N-2, O-2 and H-2 (2015)
Journal Article
Demetriades, T. A., & Graham, R. (2016). A new equation of state for CCS pipeline transport: Calibration of mixing rules for binary mixtures of CO2 with N-2, O-2 and H-2. Journal of Chemical Thermodynamics, 93, 294-304. doi:10.1016/j.jct.2015.07.045

One of the aspects currently holding back commercial scale deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS) is an accurate understanding of the thermodynamic behaviour of carbon dioxide and relevant impurities during the pipeline transport stage. In th... Read More about A new equation of state for CCS pipeline transport: Calibration of mixing rules for binary mixtures of CO2 with N-2, O-2 and H-2.

Palladium nanoparticles in catalytic carbon nanoreactors: the effect of confinement on Suzuki-Miyaura reactions (2015)
Journal Article
Cornelio, B., Saunders, A., Solomonsz, W., Laronze-Cochard, M., Fontana, A., Sapi, J., …Rance, G. A. (in press). Palladium nanoparticles in catalytic carbon nanoreactors: the effect of confinement on Suzuki-Miyaura reactions. Journal of Materials Chemistry, 3, https://doi.org/10.1039/C4TA06953F

We explore the construction and performance of a range of catalytic nanoreactors based on palladium nanoparticles encapsulated in hollow graphitised nanofibres. The optimum catalytic material, with small palladium nanoparticles located almost exclusi...

A novel nethod of extraction of blend component structure from SANS measurements of homopolymer bimodal blends (2014)
Journal Article
Smerdova, O., Graham, R. S., Gasser, U., Hutchings, L. R., & De Focatiis, D. S. (2014). A novel nethod of extraction of blend component structure from SANS measurements of homopolymer bimodal blends. Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics, 215(9), https://doi.org/10.1002/macp.201300787

A new method is presented for the extraction of single chain form factors and inter-chain interference functions from a range of small angle neutron scattering (SANS) experiments on bimodal homopolymer blends. The method requires a minimum of three b... Read More about A novel nethod of extraction of blend component structure from SANS measurements of homopolymer bimodal blends.
