Kuchipudi, S. V., Tellabati, M., Nelli, R. K., White, G. A., Baquero Perez, B., Sebastian, S., …Chang, K. 18S rRNA is a reliable normalisation gene for real time PCR based on influenza virus infected cells. Virology Journal, 9(230), https://doi.org/10.1186/1743-422X-9-230

Background: One requisite of quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) is to normalise the data with an internal reference gene that is invariant regardless of treatment, such as virus infection. Several studies have found variability in the... Read More about 18S rRNA is a reliable normalisation gene for real time PCR based on influenza virus infected cells.

Structural optimization of molecular clusters with density functional theory combined with basin hopping

Treatment effects on the compressive strength of Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC) at 7 days
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Helmi, M., Hall, M. R., & Rigby, S. P. (in press). Treatment effects on the compressive strength of Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC) at 7 days.

Reactive powder concrete (RPC) is produced by controlling three main factors: additives to mix composition, pre-setting application of pressure, and post-setting heating. Densification of the mortar is achieved by the application of pressure (either... Read More about Treatment effects on the compressive strength of Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC) at 7 days.
