The political contest in Malta at the end of empire involved not merely the British colonial authorities and emerging nationalists, but also the powerful Catholic Church. Under Archbishop Gonzi’s leadership, the Church took an overtly political stanc... Read More about Priests and politicians: Archbishop Michael Gonzi, Dom Mintoff, and the end of empire in Malta.

Anastomosing reach control on hydraulics and sediment distribution on the Sabie River, South Africa (2014)

Long-term flood controls on semi-arid river form: Evidence from the Sabie and Olifants rivers, eastern South Africa (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Heritage, G., Tooth, S., Entwistle, N., & Milan, D. Long-term flood controls on semi-arid river form: Evidence from the Sabie and Olifants rivers, eastern South Africa

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
Williamson, D. J., Thacker, R. J., Wurster, J., & Gibson, B. K. (2014). Cloud angular momentum and effective viscosity in global SPH simulations with feedback. Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 442(4), 3674-3685. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stu1121

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...

This chapter is concerned with what educational leaders can lear about the ethics of their practice from a study of environmental systems. It examiners three sources for such learning. One source is from an understanding of the epistemology of these... Read More about Leadership, sustainability and ethics.

Exploring the impact of different cost heuristics in the allocation of safety integrity levels (2014)
Journal Article
Azevedo, L. S., Parker, D., Papadopoulos, Y., Walker, M., Sorokos, I., & Araújo, R. E. (2014). Exploring the impact of different cost heuristics in the allocation of safety integrity levels. Lecture notes in computer science, 8822, 70-81. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-12214-4_6

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.
