Yáñez-González, Á., Ruiz-Trejo, E., van Wachem, B., Skinner, S., Beyrau, F., & Heyes, A. (2016). Development of an optical thermal history coating sensor based on the oxidation of a divalent rare earth ion phosphor. Measurement Science and Technology, 27(11), Article 115103. https://doi.org/10.1088/0957-0233/27/11/115103

The measurement of temperatures in gas turbines, boilers, heat exchangers and other components exposed to hot gases is essential to design energy efficient systems and improve maintenance procedures. When on-line measurements, such as those performed... Read More about Development of an optical thermal history coating sensor based on the oxidation of a divalent rare earth ion phosphor.

Duramycin-porphyrin conjugates for targeting of tumour cells using photodynamic therapy (2016)
Journal Article
Broughton, L. J., Giuntini, F., Savoie, H., Bryden, F., Boyle, R. W., Maraveyas, A., & Madden, L. A. (2016). Duramycin-porphyrin conjugates for targeting of tumour cells using photodynamic therapy. Journal of photochemistry and photobiology. B, Biology, 163, 374-384. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jphotobiol.2016.09.001

Duramycin, through binding with phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), has been shown to be a selective molecular probe for the targeting and imaging of cancer cells. Photodynamic therapy aims to bring about specific cytotoxic damage to tumours through deliv...
