Journal Article
Bolland, J., COWX, I. G., & LUCAS, M. C. (2008). Movements and habitat use of wild and stocked juvenile chub, Leuciscus cephalus (L.), in a small lowland river. Fisheries Management and Ecology, 15(5-6), 401-407. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2400.2008.00631.x

Stocking is a widespread management activity in inland fisheries, but the efficacy of such fishery enhancement measures is poorly understood. Radio-telemetry was used to compare the movements and habitat selection of stocked, juvenile chub, Leuciscus...

Microcracking damage and the fracture process in relation to strain rate in human cortical bone tensile failure (2008)
Journal Article
Zioupos, P., Hansen, U., & Currey, J. D. (2008). Microcracking damage and the fracture process in relation to strain rate in human cortical bone tensile failure. Journal of biomechanics, 41(14), 2932-2939. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2008.07.025

It is difficult to define the 'physiological' mechanical properties of bone. Traumatic failures in-vivo are more likely to be orders of magnitude faster than the quasistatic tests usually employed in-vitro. We have reported recently [Hansen, U., Ziou...

The Declaration of London (1909) has proven problematic for historians. The standard historiography has it that the first sea lord, Admiral Sir John Fisher, allowed the Declaration to be negotiated only because he intended to tear it up, along with a...
