Disobedient Objects: material readings of enclosure protest in sixteenth-century (2019)
Journal Article
McDonagh, B. (in press). Disobedient Objects: material readings of enclosure protest in sixteenth-century. Journal of Medieval History,

Responding to calls for scholars to address ‘material worlds’ in our analyses of protests past, the paper examines the more-than-human historical geographies of enclosure and enclosure protest in sixteenth-century England. It argues that negotiating... Read More about Disobedient Objects: material readings of enclosure protest in sixteenth-century.

Book Chapter
Mockute, A., Borri, C., Marino, E., & Lugni, C. (2019). Wind–Wave Loading and Response of OWT Monopiles in Rough Seas. In F. Ricciardelli, & A. M. Avossa (Eds.), Proceedings of the XV Conference of the Italian Association for Wind Engineering. IN VENTO 2018 (507-518). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-12815-9_39

© 2019, Springer Nature Switzerland AG. Monopile-supported OWTs are prone to ringing – a dangerous nonlinear resonant phenomenon which is still not fully understood. Both wind and waves have a major influence on it, wind with its aerodynamic damping... Read More about Wind–Wave Loading and Response of OWT Monopiles in Rough Seas.

Climate change impact on the frequency of hydrometeorological extremes in the island of Crete (2019)

Modelling the morphodynamics of sandy coastal systems under a changing climate (2019)
Thesis
Morris, C. S. Modelling the morphodynamics of sandy coastal systems under a changing climate. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4222460

Coasts are vulnerable to changing environmental conditions and are likely to be affected by predicted sea level rise and wave climate variations over the next century. Predicting the likely response of coastal systems to these changes, including alte... Read More about Modelling the morphodynamics of sandy coastal systems under a changing climate.

Caregiving children in Malawi : children's work within families affected by illness and disability (2019)
Thesis
Kaparounaki, K. Caregiving children in Malawi : children's work within families affected by illness and disability. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4221903

Chronic illness and disability can result in children caring for sick parents, younger siblings or grandparents. This PhD thesis examines children’s caring responsibilities in rural and urban areas in Malawi. It analyses the emotional aspects of care...

Copyright © Cambridge University Press 2019Â. This article uses a quantitative and qualitative methodology to examine the role that women played as property owners in three mid-nineteenth-century English towns. Using data from the previously under-ut... Read More about More than bricks and mortar: Female property ownership as economic strategy in mid-nineteenth-century urban England.

Performance evaluation and analyses of novel parabolic trough evacuated collector tubes with spectrum-selective glass envelope (2019)
Journal Article
Wang, Q., Hu, M., Yang, H., Cao, J., Li, J., Su, Y., & Pei, G. (2019). Performance evaluation and analyses of novel parabolic trough evacuated collector tubes with spectrum-selective glass envelope. Renewable energy, 138, 793-804. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.renene.2019.02.025

Evacuated collector tubes (ECTs), the key components of the parabolic trough collector, suffer considerable heat loss at high operating temperature. Based on the characteristic of uneven distribution of solar irradiance around the absorber tube, nove...
