As a free-living nematode, C. elegans is exposed to various pesticides used in agriculture, as well as to persistent organic residues which may contaminate the soil for long periods. Following on from our previous study of metal effects on 24 GFP-re... Read More about Use of transgenic GFP reporter strains of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans to investigate the patterns of stress responses induced by pesticides and by organic extracts from agricultural soils.

Kernels for products of L-functions
Journal Article
The Rankin-Cohen bracket of two Eisenstein series provides a kernel yielding products of the periods of Hecke eigenforms at critical values. Extending this idea leads to a new type of Eisenstein series built with a double sum. We develop the properti... Read More about Kernels for products of L-functions.
Analysis of the Sam50 translocase of excavate organisms supports evolution of divergent organelles from a common endosymbiotic event
Journal Article
As free-living organisms the ancestors of mitochondria and plastids encoded complete genomes, proteomes and metabolomes. As these symbionts became organelles all these aspects were reduced – genomes have degenerated with the host nucleus now encoding...

Class D amplifier power stage with PWM feedback loop
Journal Article
This paper presents a Second-Order Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) feedback loop to improve Power Supply Rejection (PSR) of any open-loop PWM Class-D amplifiers (CDAs). PSR of the audio amplifier has always been a key parameter in mobile phone applicat... Read More about Class D amplifier power stage with PWM feedback loop.

Phase-amplitude descriptions of neural oscillator models
Journal Article
Phase oscillators are a common starting point for the reduced description of many single neuron models that exhibit a strongly attracting limit cycle. The framework for analysing such models in response to weak perturbations is now particularly well... Read More about Phase-amplitude descriptions of neural oscillator models.
The colour of risk: an exploration of the IPCC's 'burning embers' diagram
Journal Article
This article tracks the historical emergence of a new visual convention in the representation of the risks associated with climate change. The “reasons for concern” or “burning embers” diagram has become a prominent visual element of the climate chan...

Using computational models to relate structural and functional brain connectivity
Journal Article
Modern imaging methods allow a non-invasive assessment of both structural and functional brain connectivity. This has lead to the identification of disease-related alterations affecting functional connectivity. The mechanism of how such alterations...
