• A novel cold active esterase from a deep sea sponge Stelletta normani metagenomic library 

  Borchert, Erik; Selvin, Joseph; Kiran, Seghal G.; Jackson, Stephen A.; O'Gara, Fergal; Dobson, Alan D. W. (Frontiers Media, 2017)

  Esterases catalyze the hydrolysis of ester bonds in fatty acid esters with short-chain acyl groups. Due to the widespread applications of lipolytic enzymes in various industrial applications, there continues to be an ...
• Synthesis of Nm-PHB (nanomelanin-polyhydroxy butyrate) nanocomposite film and its protective effect against biofilm-forming multi drug resistant Staphylococcus aureus 

  Kiran, George Seghal; Jackson, Stephen A.; Priyadharsini, Sethu; Dobson, Alan D. W.; Selvin, Joseph (Nature Publishing Group, 2017)

  Melanin is a dark brown ubiquitous photosynthetic pigment which have many varied and ever expanding applications in fabrication of radio-protective materials, food packaging, cosmetics and in medicine. In this study, melanin ...
• Sources and mixing state of summertime background aerosol in the north-western Mediterranean basin 

  Arndt, Jovanna; Sciare, Jean; Mallet, Marc; Roberts, Greg C.; Marchand, Nicolas; Sartelet, Karine; Sellegri, Karine; Dulac, Francois; Healy, Robert M.; Wenger, John C. (Copernicus Gesellschaft Mbh, 2017)

  An aerosol time-of-flight mass spectrometer (ATOFMS) was employed to provide real-time single particle mixing state and thereby source information for aerosols impacting the western Mediterranean basin during the ChArMEx-ADRIMED ...
• Comparison of pre-treatments to reduce salinity and enhance biomethane yields of Laminaria digitata harvested in different seasons 

  Tabassum, Muhammad Rizwan; Xia, Ao; Murphy, Jerry D. (Elsevier Ltd., 2017-08-16)

  Pre-treatment can enhance anaerobic digestion of seaweed; however, seasonal variation in the biochemical composition of seaweed has a significant impact on the pre-treatment effect. In this study, various pre-treatments ...
• Comprehensive investigation of Ge-Si bonded interfaces using oxygen radical activation 

  Byun, Ki Yeol; Fleming, Peter; Bennett, Nick; Gity, Farzan; McNally, Patrick; Morris, Michael; Ferain, Isabelle; Colinge, Cindy (AIP Publishing, 2011)

  In this work, we investigate the directly bonded germanium-silicon interfaces to facilitate the development of high quality germanium silicon hetero integration at the wafer scale. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy data is ...
