How do readers at different career stages approach reading a scientific research paper? A case study in the biological sciences (2022)
Journal Article
Hubbard, K. E., Dunbar, S., Peasland, E. L., Solly, J., & Poon, J. (in press). How do readers at different career stages approach reading a scientific research paper? A case study in the biological sciences. International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, https://doi.org/10.1080/21548455.2022.2078010

Reading primary research literature is an essential skill for scientists. However, the high complexity of research papers may pose a barrier to the development of scientific literacy. In semi-structured interviews, we explore how 33 biologists includ... Read More about How do readers at different career stages approach reading a scientific research paper?

Bayesian Calibration for Office-Building Heating and Cooling Energy Prediction Model (2022)
Journal Article
Cui, Y., Zhu, Z., Zhao, X., Li, Z., & Qin, P. (2022). Bayesian Calibration for Office-Building Heating and Cooling Energy Prediction Model. Buildings, 12(7), Article 1052. https://doi.org/10.3390/buildings12071052

Conventional building energy models (BEM) for heating and cooling energy-consumption prediction without calibration are not accurate, and the commonly used manual calibration method requires the high expertise of modelers. Bayesian calibration (BC) i... Read More about Bayesian Calibration for Office-Building Heating and Cooling Energy Prediction Model.

An innovative concentrated solar power system driven by high-temperature cascade organic Rankine cycle (2022)
Journal Article
Ren, X., Li, J., Gao, G., & Pei, G. (2022). An innovative concentrated solar power system driven by high-temperature cascade organic Rankine cycle. Journal of Energy Storage, 52, Article 104999. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.est.2022.104999

Direct steam generation (DSG) solar power systems eliminate synthetic oils and molten salts in the solar field and enable efficient heat collection. Commercial DSG solar plants usually have a steam generation temperature of 250–285 °C to reduce the t...

On the transport mechanisms, ecological interactions and fate of microplastics in aquatic environments (2022)
Thesis
Mendrik, F. On the transport mechanisms, ecological interactions and fate of microplastics in aquatic environments. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4224632

Microplastics are now persistent throughout aquatic systems globally and can cause a range of ecological damage. The transport of microplastics is influenced by the polymer type, in addition to physical, biological, and chemical gradients plastic par...

Ecological Responses to Climate Change: Using the Common Ragworm (Hediste diversicolor) as an Indicator for Benthic Ecosystems (2022)
Thesis
James, J. Ecological Responses to Climate Change: Using the Common Ragworm (Hediste diversicolor) as an Indicator for Benthic Ecosystems. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4192688

Climate change is projected to have a negative impact on biodiversity over the next century. Similar drivers of change have been observed in the geological past and were also associated with loss of species, particularly in the marine environment. Th...

Agricultural Pea Waste as a Low-Cost Pollutant Biosorbent for Methylene Blue Removal: Adsorption Kinetics, Isotherm And Thermodynamic Studies (2022)
Journal Article
Holliday, M. C., Parsons, D. R., & Zein, S. H. (2022). Agricultural Pea Waste as a Low-Cost Pollutant Biosorbent for Methylene Blue Removal: Adsorption Kinetics, Isotherm And Thermodynamic Studies. Biomass Conversion and Biorefinery, https://doi.org/10.1007/s13399-022-02865-8

Biosorbents are an alternative pollutant adsorbent, usually sourced from waste biomass and requiring little to no treatment. This makes them cheaper than conventional adsorbents. In this paper, green pea (Pisum sativum) haulm was used as a biosorbent...

Immersive storytelling and the power of using 360 to amplify the experiences, agency and action of children and young people facing flood risk (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Parsons, K. J., Lloyd Williams, A., Skinner, C., & Parsons, D. R. (2022, May). Immersive storytelling and the power of using 360 to amplify the experiences, agency and action of children and young people facing flood risk. Paper presented at European Geosciences Union, Vienna, Austria

Flood hazard is projected to at least double by 2050 as a consequence of the impacts of climate change, meaning many more societies and communities will need to be able to mitigate and adapt to the resultant increase in flood risk.

One often overl... Read More about Immersive storytelling and the power of using 360 to amplify the experiences, agency and action of children and young people facing flood risk.
