High-sensitivity Stokes spectropolarimetry on cyanobacteria
(2016-02-01)We investigate the spectral signatures arising from the optical properties of chlorophyll in linear and circularly polarised scattered light from cyanobacteria. We include Stokes scattering coefficient measurements on two ... -
Exploring the association of dairy product intake with the fatty acids C15:0 and C17:0 measured from dried blood spots in a multi-population cohort : findings from the Food4Me study
(2016-04)SCOPE: The use of biomarkers in the objective assessment of dietary intake is a high priority in nutrition research. The aim of this study was to examine pentadecanoic acid (C15:0) and heptadecanoic acid (C17:0) as biomarkers ... -
A risk based application of the regional model CMAQ to policy decisions
(2016-01)A risk based approach to assessing compliance with EU limit values is described, using the advanced chemical transport model CMAQ to determine the regional component of NO2 and particulate matter under various conditions ... -
Usability of activity-based and image-based challenge questions in online student authentication
