The greenhouse metaphor and the footprint metaphor: climate change risk assessment and risk management seen through the lens of two prominent metaphors (2014)
Journal Article
Nerlich, B., & Hellsten, I. (2014). The greenhouse metaphor and the footprint metaphor: climate change risk assessment and risk management seen through the lens of two prominent metaphors. TATuP, 23(2),

This article charts the emergence and framing of anthropogenic climate change as risk through the lens of two metaphors: greenhouse effect and carbon footprint. We argue that the greenhouse effect metaphor provided the scientific basis for framing cl...

Purpose: In this article, we contribute to the debate on medication compliance by exploring the conversational "technologies" entailed in the process of promoting clients’ adherence to psychopharmacological prescriptions. Using a case study approach,... Read More about Conversational pursuit of medication compliance in a Therapeutic Community for persons diagnosed with mental disorders.

Public policy and the ‘sustainability’ of adult education (2014)
Journal Article
Milana, M., Rasmussen, P., & Holford, J. (2014). Public policy and the ‘sustainability’ of adult education. Encyclopaideia, 18(40), https://doi.org/10.6092/issn.1825-8670/4658

Sustainable growth and development are intrinsically linked with the ways societal problems are thought of and addressed in public and private policy. However, at times when social and economic crises have shown the fragility of existing institutions... Read More about Public policy and the ‘sustainability’ of adult education.

Cross-border insolvency of enterprise groups: the choice of law challenge (2014)
Journal Article
Mevorach, I. (2014). Cross-border insolvency of enterprise groups: the choice of law challenge

It is not surprising that the problems of choice of law and international group insolvency have not been sufficiently addressed during the initial development of cross-border insolvency frameworks. The choice of law problem raises difficult questions... Read More about Cross-border insolvency of enterprise groups: the choice of law challenge.

Journal of Quaternary Science, 29(3), https://doi.org/10.1002/jqs.2702

Diatom, geochemical and isotopic data provide a record of environmental change in Laguna La Gaiba, lowland Bolivia, over the last ca. 25 000 years. High-resolution diatom analysis around the last glacial–interglacial transition provides new insights...

Global norms, organisational change: framing the rights-based approach at ActionAid (2014)
Journal Article
Magrath, B. (2014). Global norms, organisational change: framing the rights-based approach at ActionAid. Third World Quarterly, 35(7), https://doi.org/10.1080/01436597.2014.926117

This article examines the adoption of the rights-based approach (RBA) to development at ActionAid International, focusing in particular on its Education Theme. Although there has been a considerable volume of work that examines the rise of RBA, inclu... Read More about Global norms, organisational change: framing the rights-based approach at ActionAid.

A Petri net approach to fault verification in phased mission systems using the standard deviation technique (2014)
Journal Article
Lloyd, M. D., Andrews, J., Remenyte-Prescott, R., Pearson, J. T., & Hubbard, P. (2014). A Petri net approach to fault verification in phased mission systems using the standard deviation technique. Quality and Reliability Engineering International, 30(1), https://doi.org/10.1002/qre.1478

Health management systems are now standard aspects of complex systems. They monitor the behaviour of components and sub-systems and in the event of unexpected system behaviour diagnose faults that have occurred. Although this process should reduce...

A conserved set of maternal genes? Insights from a molluscan transcriptome (2014)
Journal Article
Liu, M. M., Davey, J. W., Jackson, D. J., Blaxter, M. L., & Davison, A. (2014). A conserved set of maternal genes? Insights from a molluscan transcriptome. International Journal of Developmental Biology, 58, https://doi.org/10.1387/ijdb.140121ad

The early animal embryo is entirely reliant on maternal gene products for a ‘jump-start’ that transforms a transcriptionally inactive embryo into a fully functioning zygote. Despite extensive work on model species, it has not been possible to perform... Read More about A conserved set of maternal genes? Insights from a molluscan transcriptome.

Discrete element modelling of a rock cone crusher (2014)

Effect of prior laser microstructural refinement on the formation of amorphous layer in an Al86Co7.6Ce6.4 alloy (2014)
Journal Article

Laser surface melting (LSM) pre-treatment was conducted before large area electron beam (LAEB) treatment in an attempt to eliminate the cracking of the amorphous layer. In our previous work, LAEB treatment successfully generated an amorphous layer on...

Khoris oikountes and the obligations of freedmen in late classical and early hellenistic Athens (2014)
Journal Article
Lewis, D., & Canevaro, M. (2014). Khoris oikountes and the obligations of freedmen in late classical and early hellenistic Athens

This article addresses the riddle of the identity of the khoris oikountes or 'dwellers apart' mentioned by Demosthenes (4.36-7) as a group subject to the navy draft. Many scholars view the term as a designation for slaves who lived separately from th...
