Speciation and Lability of Ag-, AgCl-, and Ag2S-Nanoparticles in Soil Determined by X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy and Diffusive Gradients in Thin Films
(Environmental Science & Technology, 2015)Long-term speciation and lability of silver (Ag-), silver chloride (AgCl-), and silver sulfide nanoparticles (Ag2S-NPs) in soil were studied by X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), and newly developed “nano” Diffusive ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
In Situ Chemical Transformations of Silver Nanoparticles along the Water-sediment Continuum
(Environmental Science & Technology, 2015)In order to accurately assess the potential environmental risk posed by silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs), their transformation and fate must be investigated in natural systems. This has proven to be very challenging due to ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Changing resource landscapes and spillover of henipaviruses
(Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2018)Old World fruit bats (Chiroptera: Pteropodidae) provide critical pollination and seed dispersal services to forest ecosystems across Africa, Asia, and Australia. In each of these regions, pteropodids have been identified ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Bio-sensing with butterfly wings: naturally occurring nano-structures for SERS-based malaria parasite detection
(Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 2015)Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a powerful tool with great potential to provide improved bio-sensing capabilities. The current ‘gold-standard’ method for diagnosis of malaria involves visual inspection of blood ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Phosphorus availability of sewage sludge‐based fertilizers determined by the diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) technique
(Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, 2017)The plant‐availability of phosphorus (P) in fertilizers and soil can strongly influence the yield of agricultural crops. However, there are no methods to efficiently and satisfactorily analyze the plant‐availability of P ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Bacterial Community Structure Shift Driven by Salinity: Analysis of DGGE Band Patterns from Freshwater to Seawater of Hyeongsan River, Korea
(Journal Of Life Science, 2013)The influence of a gradual increase in salinity on the diversity of aquatic bacterial in rivers was demonstrated. The denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) was used to analyze the bacterial community shift ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
해파리 분말의 상토 첨가물로서의 효과 및상토의 미생물 군집 변화에 대한 연구
(Han'guk Toyang Biryo Hakhoe Chi, 2012)Recently, the population of toxic and/or unusable jellyfish is increasing during summer along the east coast of Korea, causing massive economical and ecological damage to fisheries, nuclear power plant and marine environment. ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
The use of Australian bioregions as spatial units of analysis to explore relationships between climate and songbird diversity
(Pacific Conservation Biology, 2011)Biogeographers often investigate patterns of biodiversity at continental and global scales, using existing data geo-referenced to a lattice of cells of latitude and longitude. Problems can arise with this approach when the ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
The Human Student: The Essentiality of the Teacher-Student Connection in Higher Education
(International Journal of Adult Vocational Education and Technology, 2018)Higher education institutions are investing significant effort into the improvement of student success, retention and satisfaction. Some effort is being expended in research seeking to understand influencing factors, but ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Taste, Appreciation and the ‘Extramural Effect’ on the Study of Literature
(Australasian Journal of Victorian Studies, 2009)The argument advanced in this article is that certain significant shifts occurred in the uses and meanings of two related concepts, “taste” and “appreciation”, in the course of the nineteenth and early twentieth century, ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Graphene-Oxide-Loaded Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles for Ultrasensitive Electrocatalytic Detection of MicroRNA
(ChemElectroChem, 2018)We report the electrocatalytic activity of a new class of superparamagnetic nanoparticles, graphene-oxide-loaded iron oxide (GO/IO hybrid material), towards the reduction of ruthenium hexaammine(III) chloride (Ru(NH3)6]3+, ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Examining the physical environment of Ghanaian inclusive schools: how accessible, suitable and appropriate is such environment for inclusive education?
(International Journal of Inclusive Education, 2018)The extent to which inclusive schools can physically and pedagogically include children with disability and special educational needs or otherwise is also identified to depend largely on the physical environment. This ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
On cosmopolitan humility and the arrogance of states
(Critical Review of International Social and Political Philosophy, 2018)One of the potentially most significant objections to a cosmopolitan moral approach charges an essential arrogance: cosmopolitanism disdains particularist moral insights even while – in what is said to be its most coherent ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Informal care management after traumatic brain injury: perspectives on informal carer workload and capacity
(Disability and Rehabilitation, 2018)Purpose: Much of the support required to live in the community post-traumatic brain injury (TBI) is provided by informal carers. Understanding the nature of caregiving work is important to better support informal carers. ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -

Žižek and the Ontological Emergence of Technology
(Cosmos and History: the Journal of Natural and Social Philosophy, 2009)This discussion utilises the thought of Slavoj Žižek as a departure point to consider the ontological emergence of technology as techne in the conceptual encounter of the Abyss in Being. Following Heidegger, Žižek’s critique ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Green open space in high-dense Asian cities: Site configurations, microclimates and users' perceptions.
