Journal Article
Cragoe, M., & McDonagh, B. (2013). Parliamentary enclosure, vermin and the cultural life of English parishes, 1750-1850. Continuity and Change, 28(1), 27-50. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0268416013000118

This article explores the impact of parliamentary enclosure on the cultural life of English villages after 1750. It focuses on parish-sponsored vermin control, arguing that the popular 'hunting' sanctioned by parish vestries under Tudor legislation,...

Analysis of a novel gravity driven organic Rankine cycle for small-scale cogeneration applications (2013)
Journal Article
Li, J., Pei, G., Li, Y., & Ji, J. (2013). Analysis of a novel gravity driven organic Rankine cycle for small-scale cogeneration applications. Applied energy, 108, 34-44. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2013.03.014

A naturally-controlled organic Rankine cycle (ORC) without negative work is proposed. Compared with conventional ORCs, the novel system uses gravity instead of a pump to pressurize the working fluid, and hence the problems associated with the pump ca...

Methane Dynamics in Peat: Importance of Shallow Peats and a Novel Reduced-Complexity Approach for Modeling Ebullition (2013)
Book Chapter
Ramirez, J., Coulthard, T. J., Baird, A. J., & Waddington, J. M. (2013). Methane Dynamics in Peat: Importance of Shallow Peats and a Novel Reduced-Complexity Approach for Modeling Ebullition. In Carbon Cycling in Northern Peatlands; Geophysical Monograph Series (173-185). American Geophysical Union. https://doi.org/10.1029/2008gm000811

Northern peatlands are one of the largest natural sources of atmospheric methane (CH4), and it is important to understand the mechanisms of CH4 loss from these peatlands so that future rates of CH4 emission can be predicted. CH4 is lost to the atmosp... Read More about Methane Dynamics in Peat: Importance of Shallow Peats and a Novel Reduced-Complexity Approach for Modeling Ebullition.

Investigating sustainable solutions for roadside gully pot management (2012)
Thesis
Scott, K. M. Investigating sustainable solutions for roadside gully pot management. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4214573

Roadside gully pots are an important component of urban drainage, with over 17 million examples in service throughout England and Wales. Their main purpose is to retain sediments from road runoff, leaves and organic litter in order to avoid blockage...

Turning the tide: experimental creation of tidal channel networks and ebb deltas (2012)
Journal Article
Terwisscha Van Scheltinga, R., Kleinhans, M. G., Van Der Vegt, M., van Scheltinga, R. T., Baar, A. W., & Markies, H. (2012). Turning the tide: experimental creation of tidal channel networks and ebb deltas. Netherlands Journal of Geosciences, 91(3), 311-323. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0016774600000469

Tidal channel networks, estuaries and ebb deltas are usually formed over a period longer than observations cover. Much is known about their characteristics and formation from linear stability analyses, numerical modelling and field observations. Howe...

Assessment of the technical potential for multifunction building zero-carbon renovation with EnergyPlus (2012)
Journal Article
Zhu, Z. (2014). Assessment of the technical potential for multifunction building zero-carbon renovation with EnergyPlus. International journal of low carbon technologies, 9(3), 178-188. https://doi.org/10.1093/ijlct/cts066

Energy consumed in the building field accounts for 30-40% of social energy consumption in the entire world. The energy used in office-educational buildings, especially in developed countries, takes up a large proportion, because of the high occupant...

Earth surface processes and landforms : the journal of the British Geomorphological Research Group, 38(7), 696-716. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.3324

There is a paucity of data and insight in the mechanisms of, and controls on flow separation and recirculation at natural sharply-curved river bends. Herein we report on successful laboratory experiments that elucidate flow structure in one constant-...
