We need lateral flow testing. Here’s how to make it work

open access: yes, 2021
Lateral flow tests have proved controversial in the scientific community. But they are cheap, fast and readily available, say Bob Nichol and Dean Machin (University of Portsmouth), and campus exercises show that with properly-trained testers, devolved ...

Axial mixing with spiral-shaped channel micromixer

open access: yesJournal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2015
Axial fluctuations in carrier concentrations cause detection noise during chemical analysis using flowing carrier streams. Here, we report a method of axial mixing using serially cascaded microchannel units with branches and junctions.

Is the well‐known phrase ‘small is beautiful’ true of small transnational education institutions?

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The purpose of this research is to consider the potential attractiveness of operating a small international branch campus (IBC). Drawing upon resource‐based and legitimacy theories, we examine the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats associated with the business model that is based on having a small institution size.

University strategy in transnational higher education: The strategic approaches of newly established and ‘small’ international branch campuses

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Newly established international branch campuses (IBCs) commence operations without a student body, and even after several years, many institutions fail to grow beyond 500 students. Despite having unique strategic needs, small IBCs are largely overlooked in the higher education literature.
