(2017-07-13)From its inception, Genetic Modification has generated intense debate. Supporters insist that the benefits significantly outweigh any alleged costs: increased productivity, particularly in areas where crops are difficult ... -
Integrating the old and new: smart thermoresponsive surfaces and 3D fabrication technologies for tissue engineering
(2017-05-08)One promising direction of regenerative medicine is the development of cell sheet-based tissue-like constructs. The cell sheets preserve ECM and cell−cell junctions. This may greatly support cell adherence to damaged organ ... -
Taking back the stage: interventions in the performing arts library of the 21st century

Evaluating long-term performance of low-cost adsorbents using small-scale adsorption column experiments
(Elsevier, 2016-05-31)This study investigated a novel method of predicting the long-term phosphorus removal performance of large-scale adsorption filters, using data derived from short-term, small-scale column experiments. The filter media ... -
A methodological framework to determine optimum durations for the construction of soil water characteristic curves using centrifugation
(De Gruyter Open, 2016-12-30)During laboratory assessment of the soil water characteristic curve (SWCC), determining equilibrium at various pressures, is challenging. This study establishes a methodological framework to identify appropriate experimental ... -
Use of amendments in a peat soil to reduce phosphorus losses from forestry operations
(Elsevier, 2015-10-18)Forestry harvesting on peats is known to result in significant losses of soil phosphorus (P) to adjacent waters, and the issue is becoming an increasingly serious concern as peatland forest stocks mature and reach harvestable ... -
