Analysis of variance in soil research: let the analysis fit the design (2018)
Journal Article

Sound design for experiments on soil is based on two fundamental principles: replication and randomization. Replication enables investigators to detect and measure contrasts between treatments against the backdrop of natural variation. Random allocat...

Effect of dicationic ionic liquids on lyotropic liquid crystals formed by a binary system composed of Triton-X 100 and water (2018)
Journal Article

In this work, binary mixtures of a non-ionic surfactant (Triton X-100) and water were studied with concentrations of 30%wt H2O, showing, lamellar mesophase at temperatures below 10oC. Different dicationic ionic liquids were used for doping these meso...

Visual complexity and affect: ratings reflect more than meets the eye (2018)
Journal Article

Pictorial stimuli can vary on many dimensions, several aspects of which are captured by the term ‘visual complexity.’ Visual complexity can be described as, “a picture of a few objects, colors, or structures would be less complex than a very colorful...

Programming agent deliberation using procedural reflection (2018)
Journal Article

A key advantage of BDI-based approaches to agent programming, is that agents can deliberate about which course of action to adopt to achieve a goal or respond to an event. However, while state-of-the-art BDI-based agent programming languages allow th... Read More about Programming agent deliberation using procedural reflection.

Nutrient limitation or home field advantage: does microbial community adaptation overcome nutrient limitation of litter decomposition in a tropical peatland? (2018)
Journal Article

Litter decomposition is an important control on carbon accumulation in tropical peatlands. Stoichiometric theory suggests that decomposition is regulated by elemental ratios in litter while the home field advantage (HFA) hypothesis predicts that deco...

Sources of uncertainty in hydrological climate impact assessment: a cross-scale study (2018)
Journal Article

Climate change impacts on water availability and hydrological extremes are major concerns as regards the Sustainable Development Goals. Impacts on hydrology are normally investigated as part of a modelling chain, in which climate projections from mul...

Owners and veterinary surgeons in the United Kingdom disagree about what should happen during a small animal vaccination consultation (2018)
Journal Article

Dog and cat vaccination consultations are a common part of small animal practice in the United Kingdom. Few data are available describing what happens during those consultations or what participants think about their content. The aim of this novel st...

Toward Investigation of External Oil Flow From a Journal Bearing in an Epicyclic Gearbox (2018)
Journal Article

High loads and bearing life requirements make journal bearings the preferred choice for use in high power, planetary gearboxes in jet engines. With the planet gears rotating about their own axis and orbiting around the sun gear, centrifugal forces ge...

Motivic equivalence of affine quadrics (2018)
Journal Article

In this article we show that the motive of an affine quadric {q=1} determines the respective quadratic form.

Discovery of a highly active anticancer analogue of cardamonin that acts as an inducer of caspase-dependent apoptosis and modulator of the mTOR pathway (2018)
Journal Article

Nineteen analogues of cardamonin were semi-synthesized and tested against A549 and HK1 cell lines. The analogues were fully characterized via IR and NMR analyses, while compound 19 (a Cu (II) complex of cardamonin) was further characterized via HRMS,...

Rate after-effects fail to transfer cross-modally: evidence for distributed sensory timing mechanisms (2018)
Journal Article

Accurate time perception is critical for a number of human behaviours, such as understanding speech and the appreciation of music. However, it remains unresolved whether sensory time perception is mediated by a central timing component regulating all...
