A comparison of the economic value for enteric methane emissions with other biological traits associated with dairy cows
Journal Article

This is the first study to derive the economic value of enteric methane produced by a ruminant animal. There is considerable interest globally in selecting for low methane-emitting ruminant livestock, as methane is a potent greenhouse gas. However, b...

Laser ultrasound measurement of diaphragm thickness, Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio in a MEMS device
Journal Article

Laser-generated Lamb waves, coupled with a large bandwidth Michelson interferometer, have been demonstrated to accurately measure the thickness of a MEMS pressure sensor diaphragm in the [110] direction of a silicon wafer. Using the reassigned Gabor... Read More about Laser ultrasound measurement of diaphragm thickness, Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio in a MEMS device.

CO2 reduction through low cost electrification of the diesel powertrain at 48V
Journal Article

In order to achieve fleet average CO2 targets, mass market adoption of low CO2 technologies is required. Application of low cost technologies across a large number of vehicles is more cost-effective in reducing fleet CO2 than deploying high-impact, c... Read More about CO2 reduction through low cost electrification of the diesel powertrain at 48V.

Low-frequency wide band-gap elastic/acoustic metamaterials using the K-damping concept
Journal Article

The terms “acoustic/elastic meta-materials” describe a class of periodic structures with unit cells exhibiting local resonance. This localized resonant structure has been shown to result in negative effective stiffness and/or mass at frequency ranges...

Wagner's Siegfried act III scene 1: a study in 'renunciation of the will' and the 'sublime'
Journal Article

In Wagner’s composition of Der Ring des Nibelungen, Siegfried Act III Scene 1 marks a significant milestone both in terms of its drama and its music. Wagner’s first significant work on the Ring was his sketch of 4 October 18482 but with the purpose o...

Contractual networks in European private international law
Journal Article

This article examines private international law issues raised by transnational contractual networks. The focus is on choice-of-law questions that arise in the context of 1) relations between network members who are contractually bound to one another,...

Troubleshooting methods for the generation of novel pseudotyped viruses
Journal Article

A pseudotyped virus (PV) is a virus particle with an envelope protein originating from a different virus. The ability to dictate which envelope proteins are expressed on the surface has made pseudotyping an important tool for basic virological studie...

Servitude and slave narratives: tracing ‘new slaveries’ in Mende Nazer’s Slave and Zadie Smith’s ‘The Embassy of Cambodia’
Journal Article

‘Ceremonious ape!’: creaturely poetics and anthropomorphic acts
Journal Article

Creaturely life partly refers to the nostalgia for a former human status hinged on normative, established forms of signification. In response, creaturely poetics is concerned with ways of composing the accentuated material and categorical vulnerabili...

Placing fashion: art, space, display and the building of luxury fashion markets through retail design
Journal Article

This paper explores the performative and affective affordances enshrined in contemporary fashion space. Fashion markets need to be placed in a much more serious conceptual way. Whilst much critical attention has been focused on the geographies of fas... Read More about Placing fashion: art, space, display and the building of luxury fashion markets through retail design.

The impact of a cognitive acceleration program in science on students in an academically selective high school
Journal Article

This paper describes the impact of a thinking skills program in science on the cognition of students in an academically selective high school. The research followed a sequential explanatory design with the collection and analysis of quantitative data...

Research data sharing: developing a stakeholder-driven model for journal policies
Journal Article

The conclusions of research articles generally depend on bodies of data that cannot be included in the articles themselves. The sharing of this data is important for reasons of both transparency and possible reuse. Science, Technology and Medicine jo...

Geometrical issues in the continuum mechanics of solid crystals
Journal Article

We shall outline geometrical and algebraic ideas which appear to lie at the foundation of the theory of defective crystals that was introduced by Davini [5] in 1986. The focus of the paper will be on the connection between continuous and discrete mod... Read More about Geometrical issues in the continuum mechanics of solid crystals.

Effects of SKF-83566 and haloperidol on performance on progressive ratio schedules maintained by sucrose and corn oil reinforcement: quantitative analysis using a new model derived from the Mathematical Principles of Reinforcement (MPR)
Journal Article

Rationale Mathematical models can assist the interpretation of the effects of interventions on schedule-controlled behaviour and help to differentiate between processes that may be confounded in traditional performance measures such as response rate...

An indefensible frontier: the Claustra Alpium Iuliarum
Journal Article

It has been long maintained that the system of barrier walls and fortlets in the Julian Alps dates to the early 4th century and that it was a fortification line used to defend Italy during times of civil war. Reviewing the historical, archaeological... Read More about An indefensible frontier: the Claustra Alpium Iuliarum.

Re-anchorage of a ruptured tendon in bonded post-tensioned concrete beams: model validation
Journal Article

Many post-tensioned concrete bridges have been reported to have ruptured tendons due to corrosion [1] and the assessment of their residual structural capacity has to account for the possibility of re-anchorage of failed tendons. This paper presents a... Read More about Re-anchorage of a ruptured tendon in bonded post-tensioned concrete beams: model validation.

Use of transgenic GFP reporter strains of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans to investigate the patterns of stress responses induced by pesticides and by organic extracts from agricultural soils
Journal Article

As a free-living nematode, C. elegans is exposed to various pesticides used in agriculture, as well as to persistent organic residues which may contaminate the soil for long periods. Following on from our previous study of metal effects on 24 GFP-re...
