Realizing a fusion system by a single finite group
(2010)We show that every saturated fusion system can be realized as a full subcategory of the fusion system of a finite group. The result suggests the definition of an 'exoticity index' and raises some other questions which we discuss. -
Recent advances in artificial photosynthetic systems at Newcastle University
(Elsevier, 2016-04-08)This review covers the most significant research done by the group of scientists working at Newcastle University during the last five years in the area of artificial photosynthesis. In particular, it tackles the aspects ... -
A recent change in the optical and gamma ray polarization of the Crab nebula and pulsar
(Oxford journals, 2015-12-31)We report on observations of the polarization of optical and γ-ray photons from the Crab nebula and pulsar system using the Galway Astronomical Stokes Polarimeter (GASP), the Hubble Space Telescope, Advanced Camera for ... -
Recent Results from the VERITAS Collaboration
(2002)A decade after the discovery of TeV gamma-rays from the blazar Mrk 421 (Punch et al. 1992), the list of TeV blazars has increased to five BL Lac objects: Mrk 421 (Punch et al. 1992; Petry et al. 1996; Piron et al. 2001), ... -
Refinement and validation of an exposure model for the pharmaceutical industry
(2011)Objectives: Assessment of worker's exposure is becoming increasingly critical in the pharmaceutical industry as drugs of higher potency are being manufactured. The batch nature of operations often makes it difficult to ... -
A refinement of a conjecture of Quillen
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2015-09)We present some new results on the cohomology of a large scope of SL2 groups in degrees above the virtual cohomological dimension, yielding some partial positive results for the Quillen conjecture in rank one. We combine ... -
Regiospecific anomerisation of acylated glycosyl azides and benzoylated disaccharides by using TiCl4.
(Wiley, 2013-10-25)Chelation induced anomerisation is promoted when Lewis acids, such as TiCl4 or SnCl4 , coordinate to the pyranose ring oxygen atom and another site, giving rise to endocyclic cleavage and isomerisation to the more stable ... -
Relaxed but highly compact diansa metallacyclophanes
(American Chemical Society, 2011-09-09)A series of monoansa [μ-1,1′-PR-3,3′-Co(1,2-C2B9H10)2]− and diansa [8,8′-μ-(1″,2″-benzene)-μ-1,1′-PR-3,3′-Co(1,2-C2B9H9)2]− (R = Ph, tBu) cobaltabisdicarbollidephanes have been synthesized, characterized and studied by ... -
Report No: 343: Elucidating levels and pathways of human exposure in Ireland to brominated flame retardants and perfluoroalkyl substances
(Environmental Protection Agency, 2020-09-25)Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have found extensive use in consumer applications such as electrical and electronic goods, soft furnishings, and building insulation foam to impart ... -

(Environmental Protection Agency, 2020-09-25)Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have been used extensively in applications such as electrical goods, soft furnishings and building insulation foam. The ELEVATE project generated ... -
Reproducible, high-yielding, biological caproate production from food waste using a single-phase anaerobic reactor system
(BMC (part of Springer Nature), 2018-03-11)Background: Nowadays, the vast majority of chemicals are either synthesised from fossil fuels or are extracted from agricultural commodities. However, these production approaches are not environmentally and economically ... -
Response of farmland biodiversity to the introduction of bioenergy crops: effects of local factors and surrounding landscape context
(Wiley Open Access, 2013-07-19)The recent growth in bioenergy crop cultivation, stimulated by the need to implement measures to reduce net CO2 emissions, is driving major land-use changes with consequences for biodiversity and ecosystem service provision. ... -
Restriction of human polyomavirus BK virus DNA replication in murine cells and extracts
(2009)BK virus (BKV) causes persistent and asymptomatic infections in most humans and is the etiologic agent of polyomavirus-associated nephropathy (PVAN) and other pathologies. Unfortunately, there are no animal models with ... -
Revealing biomedically relevant cell and lectin type-dependent structure–activity profiles for glycoclusters by using tissue sections as an assay platform
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018-08-14)The increasing realization of the involvement of lectin-glycan recognition in (patho)physiological processes inspires envisioning therapeutic intervention by high-avidity/specificity blocking reagents. Synthetic glycoclusters ... -
