The role of floodplains in attenuating contaminated sediment fluxes in formerly mined drainage basins (2008)
Journal Article
Dennis, I. A., Coulthard, T. J., Brewer, P., & Macklin, M. G. (2009). The role of floodplains in attenuating contaminated sediment fluxes in formerly mined drainage basins. Earth surface processes and landforms : the journal of the British Geomorphological Research Group, 34(3), 453-466. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.1762

Many upland river catchments in the UK have been historically mined for metals such as lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn), and as part of the mining process large quantities of metal contaminated sediment were released into the river system. The levels of sedim... Read More about The role of floodplains in attenuating contaminated sediment fluxes in formerly mined drainage basins.

Impact of adsorbent finishing and absorbent filming on energy exchange efficiency of an air-to-air cellulose fibre heat & mass exchanger (2008)
Journal Article
Liu, S., Riffat, S., Zhao, X., & Yuan, Y. (2009). Impact of adsorbent finishing and absorbent filming on energy exchange efficiency of an air-to-air cellulose fibre heat & mass exchanger. Building and Environment, 44(9), 1803-1809. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2008.12.004

This paper aimed to investigate the impact of two coating methods, namely solid adsorbent (CaCl 2 ) finishing and liquid absorbent (LiCl) filming, on energy (enthalpy) exchange efficiency of a cellulose fibre air-to-air heat & mass exchanger, throu...

The cost of conflict: agonistic encounters influence responses to chemical signals in the European shore crab (2008)
Journal Article
Fletcher, N., & Hardege, J. D. (2009). The cost of conflict: agonistic encounters influence responses to chemical signals in the European shore crab. Animal behaviour, 77(2), 357-361. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2008.10.007

The determination of an individual's behaviour often relies upon complex signals that convey messages about the environment it inhabits. In aquatic environments such signals take varied and conflicting forms including chemical cues indicating food or...

Change, Continuity and Contradictions in May Day Celebrations in Northamptonshire (2008)
Journal Article
Smith, K. (2008). Change, Continuity and Contradictions in May Day Celebrations in Northamptonshire. Folklore, 119(2), 142-159. https://doi.org/10.1080/00155870802056944

Most teachers and students of folklore and folkloristics will have encountered the widespread and persistent belief that “folklore,” including traditional beliefs and behaviours, customs and rituals, is dying. Indeed, this is a position that has char... Read More about Change, Continuity and Contradictions in May Day Celebrations in Northamptonshire.

Causes of rapid mixing at a junction of two large rivers: Río Paraná and Río Paraguay, Argentina (2008)
Journal Article
Lane, S. N., Parsons, D. R., Best, J. L., Orfeo, O., Kostaschuk, R. A., & Hardy, R. J. (2008). Causes of rapid mixing at a junction of two large rivers: Río Paraná and Río Paraguay, Argentina. Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 113(F2), 0 - 0. https://doi.org/10.1029/2006jf000745

Airborne and satellite observations show that when large rivers join they can take hundreds of kilometers to mix completely but, on occasion, may mix very rapidly. Application of established semitheoretical analyses shows that long mixing lengths sho...
