Journal Article
Dancer, S. J. (2020). Covid-19 exposes the gaps in infection prevention and control. Infection, Disease & Health, 25(4), 223-226. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.idh.2020.08.005

• Covid-19 has highlighted how little we really know about controlling infection.
• The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has ignited a tsunami of interest in basic hygiene.
• Despite a shaky evidence base, hygienic activities have propelled infection control on... Read More about Covid-19 exposes the gaps in infection prevention and control.

Analysis of the product streams obtained on butanosolv pretreatment of draff (2020)
Journal Article
Foltanyi, F., Hawkins, J. E., Panovic, I., Bird, E. J., Gloster, T. M., Lancefield, C. S., & Westwood, N. J. (2020). Analysis of the product streams obtained on butanosolv pretreatment of draff. Biomass and Bioenergy, 141, Article 105680. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biombioe.2020.105680

The efficient use of biomass-derived waste streams from the food and drink industry is very important for achieving a circular economy. In this work, a pretreatment based on 1-butanol (butanosolv) was used to fractionate draff, a by-product from the...

Hydrolytic Profile of the Culturable Gut Bacterial Community Associated With Hermetia illucens (2020)
Journal Article
Callegari, M., Jucker, C., Fusi, M., Leonardi, M. G., Daffonchio, D., Borin, S., Savoldelli, S., & Crotti, E. (2020). Hydrolytic Profile of the Culturable Gut Bacterial Community Associated With Hermetia illucens. Frontiers in Microbiology, 11, https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2020.01965

Larvae of the black soldier fly (BSF) Hermetia illucens (L.) convert organic waste into high valuable insect biomass that can be used as alternative protein source for animal nutrition or as feedstock for biodiesel production. Since insect biology an... Read More about Hydrolytic Profile of the Culturable Gut Bacterial Community Associated With Hermetia illucens.

Modification of imidazothiazole derivatives gives promising activity in B-Raf kinase enzyme inhibition; synthesis, in vitro studies and molecular docking (2020)
Journal Article
Ammar, U. M., Abdel-Maksoud, M. S., Mersal, K. I., Ali, E. M., Yoo, K. H., Choi, H. S., Lee, J. K., Cha, S. Y., & Oh, C.-H. (2020). Modification of imidazothiazole derivatives gives promising activity in B-Raf kinase enzyme inhibition; synthesis, in vitro studies and molecular docking. Bioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 30(20), Article 127478. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bmcl.2020.127478

B-Raf mutation was identified as a key target in cancer treatment. Based on structural features of dabrafenib (potent FDA approved B-Raf inhibitor), the design of new NH2-based imidazothiazole derivatives was carried out affording new highly potent d...

Bilingualism: The foreign language effect does not extend to rational decision making (2020)
Journal Article
Curley, L., Carruthers, L., & Piotrowska, B. (2020). Bilingualism: The foreign language effect does not extend to rational decision making. Journal of Articles in Support of the Null Hypothesis, 17(1),

This research investigated if the foreign language effect extended to rationality. Four groups (English speaking monolingual group; Polish speaking monolingual group; Bilingual Polish group who were presented with decision task in English; Bilingual...

‘Forced’ family separation and inter-generational dynamics: multi-generational new Chinese immigrant families in New Zealand (2020)
Journal Article
Ran, G. J., & Liu, L. S. (2021). ‘Forced’ family separation and inter-generational dynamics: multi-generational new Chinese immigrant families in New Zealand. Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online, 16(1), 148-167. https://doi.org/10.1080/1177083x.2020.1801772

In New Zealand (NZ), due to the immigration policy change against family reunifications, many ‘forced’ transnational immigrant families emerged between NZ and other immigration sending countries. Closely tied family members across generations now hav...

Combined effects of temperature and hypoxia shape female brooding behaviors and the early ontogeny of the Chilean kelp crab Taliepus dentatus (2020)
Journal Article
Baldanzi, S., Storch, D., Fusi, M., Weidberg, N., Tissot, A., Navarrete, S., & Fernández, M. (2020). Combined effects of temperature and hypoxia shape female brooding behaviors and the early ontogeny of the Chilean kelp crab Taliepus dentatus. Marine Ecology Progress Series, 646, 93-107. https://doi.org/10.3354/meps13381

The ecophysiology of marine ectotherms is regulated by the interaction of temperature with environmental drivers, such as dissolved oxygen (DO). The combination of low levels of DO and temperature in the ocean affects physiological and behavioral res...
