Estimating abundance of striped hyenas (Hyaena hyaena) in the Negev Desert of Israel using camera traps and closed capture–recapture models (2016)
Journal Article
Tichon, J., Rotem, G., & Ward, P. (2017). Estimating abundance of striped hyenas (Hyaena hyaena) in the Negev Desert of Israel using camera traps and closed capture–recapture models. European journal of wildlife research, 63(1), https://doi.org/10.1007/s10344-016-1069-y

Estimating key state variables (e.g., abundance/density) of threatened/endangered species is a difficult yet crucial task. These variables are essential for wildlife conservationists/managers to assess the current states and trends of target populati...

Prediction and mechanism elucidation of analyte retention on phospholipid stationary phases (IAM-HPLC) by in silico calculated physico-chemical descriptors (2016)
Journal Article
Russo, G., Grumetto, L., Barbato, F., Vistoli, G., & Pedretti, A. (2017). Prediction and mechanism elucidation of analyte retention on phospholipid stationary phases (IAM-HPLC) by in silico calculated physico-chemical descriptors. European Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 99, 173-184. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejps.2016.11.026

The present study proposes a method for an in silico calculation of phospholipophilicity. Phospholipophilicity is intended as the measure of analyte affinity for phospholipids; it is currently assessed by HPLC measures of analyte retention on phospha...

Nanotechnology, considered an industrial revolution occurring across the twentieth and twenty first centuries, promises to provide numerous advantages to both humans and the environment, across consumer, industrial, and technology sectors. Although a... Read More about An Overview of Nanoparticle Biocompatibility for Their Use in Nanomedicine.

Mangrove Crab Ucides cordatus Removal Does Not Affect Sediment Parameters and Stipule Production in a One Year Experiment in Northern Brazil (2016)
Journal Article
Pülmanns, N., Mehlig, U., Nordhaus, I., Saint-Paul, U., & Diele, K. (2016). Mangrove Crab Ucides cordatus Removal Does Not Affect Sediment Parameters and Stipule Production in a One Year Experiment in Northern Brazil. PLOS ONE, 11(12), Article e0167375. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0167375

Mangrove crabs influence ecosystem processes through bioturbation and/or litter feeding. In Brazilian mangroves, the abundant and commercially important crab Ucides cordatus is the main faunal modifier of microtopography establishing up to 2 m deep b...

Infection control: evidence-based common sense (2016)
Journal Article
Dancer, S. J. (2016). Infection control: evidence-based common sense. Infection, Disease & Health, 21(4), 147-153. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.idh.2016.10.003

When compared against classical sciences, infection control is very much the ‘new kid-on-the-block’. This means that activities directed by infection prevention and control are more likely to reflect ‘common sense’ rather than robust evidence. Indeed...

Developing a reflective and empirically informed undergraduate research methods module, including a worked exemplar. (2016)
Book Chapter
Murray, J. (2016). Developing a reflective and empirically informed undergraduate research methods module, including a worked exemplar. In C. Penman, & M. Foster (Eds.), Innovations in Learning and Teaching. Merchiston Publishing

Teaching research methods is challenging for both staff and students. With increasing expectations to teach a wider breadth of material, the balance and maintenance of sufficient depth becomes challenging. This chapter summarises the literature aroun...
