(MDPI, 2021-04-02)Amoebic Gill Disease (AGD), caused by the ectoparasite Paramoeba perurans is characterised by hyperplasia of the gill epithelium and lamellar fusion. In this study, the initial host response of naïve Atlantic salmon (Salmo ... -
How does the dietary intake of female field-based team sport athletes compare to dietary recommendations for health and performance? A systematic literature review
(MDPI, 2021-04-09)Field-based team sports present large energetic demands given their intermittent high-intensity nature. Current evidence suggests that the dietary intake of female athletes may be insufficient to meet such demands, resulting ... -
β-Glucan
(MDPI, 2021)β-glucans are a key active ingredient in mushrooms and are also found in oats, barley, yeast, bacteria and algae. In microbial sources, they are a structural component and in grain sources, they are found in the endospermic ... -
Hop-by-hop congrestion measurement and practical active queue management in NDN
(IEEE, 2020-12)Content replication and name-based routing in Named Data Network (NDN) naturally lead to connectionless multi-source and multipath transmissions. Traditional congestion control designed for end-to-end connections cannot ... -
The "proof" of the pudding is not just in the eating. Savouring the richness of the research process experience
(Everthing is Connected Press, 2021)There is much written on research methodologies and the merits of each within academic texts. Researchers provide written accounts of their methodologies, their results locating these in literature previously reviewed. New ... -
An extensible parsing pipeline for unstructured data processing
(IEEE, 2021-03-10)Network monitoring and diagnostics systems depict the running system's state and generate enormous amounts of unstructured data through log files, print statements, and other reports. It is not feasible to manually analyze ... -
