Anyone who is interested in Hong Kong cinema must be familiar with one name: Chow Yun-fat (b. 1955). He rose to film stardom in the 1980s when Hong Kong cinema started to attract global attention beyond East Asia. During his early screen career, Chow...

Rivers in the Kruger National Park, eastern South Africa, are characterised by bedrock-influenced ‘macrochannels’ containing variable alluvial thicknesses and riparian vegetation assemblages. Evidence from the Sabie and Olifants rivers suggests that... Read More about Long-term flood controls on semi-arid river form: Evidence from the Sabie and Olifants rivers, eastern South Africa.

Thrips domiciles protect larvae from desiccation in an arid environment (2014)
Journal Article
Gilbert, J. D. (2014). Thrips domiciles protect larvae from desiccation in an arid environment. Behavioral ecology, 25(6), 1338-1346. https://doi.org/10.1093/beheco/aru128

Desiccation is a particular risk for small animals in arid environments. In response, many organisms “construct niches,” favorable microenvironments where they spend part or all of their life cycle. Some maintain such environments for their offspring... Read More about Thrips domiciles protect larvae from desiccation in an arid environment.

Cloud angular momentum and effective viscosity in global SPH simulations with feedback (2014)
Journal Article

We examine simulations of isolated galaxies to analyse the effects of localized feedback on the formation and evolution of molecular clouds. Feedback contributes to turbulence and the destruction of clouds, leading to a population of clouds that is y...

Contemporary safety standards prescribe processes in which system safety requirements, captured early and expressed in the form of Safety Integrity Levels (SILs), are iteratively allocated to architectural elements. Different SILs reflect different r... Read More about Exploring the impact of different cost heuristics in the allocation of safety integrity levels.
