Ancient fishing rights and modern uses of the sea: Are the two compatible? (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Appleby, T. (2013, July). Ancient fishing rights and modern uses of the sea: Are the two compatible?. Paper presented at Management of Land and Sea Resources – What's New?, Glasgow University

The Court of Appeal case of Isle of Anglesey CC v Welsh Ministers [2009] EWCA Civ 94 contains a hidden bombshell for those seeking to carry out marine development. Developers have traditionally needed a lease of the seabed and any relevant consents.... Read More about Ancient fishing rights and modern uses of the sea: Are the two compatible?.

Institutional work for new modes of evaluation: Emerging culture of assessment in evaluating sustainability in architecture (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Oliveira, S. (2013, July). Institutional work for new modes of evaluation: Emerging culture of assessment in evaluating sustainability in architecture. Paper presented at European Group of Organization Studies, Montreal, Canada

This paper deals with the question of how understandings on criteria for evaluating sustainability develop in award winning architecture in 1990-2012 in the UK. Based on the concept of institutional work the paper examines the activities and actors t...

Legal challenge and its implications (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Appleby, T. (2013, July). Legal challenge and its implications. Paper presented at Evidence Trends issues and Solutions : Communications and Management for Sustainability, SOAS

Law and science view the decision making process very differently. Scientists seek to test data to see if this leads to a trend which can inform the decision maker. Scientific certainty therefore has certain drawbacks. It is incredibly data hung... Read More about Legal challenge and its implications.

The challenges and implications of linking wetland science to policy in agricultural landscapes - experience from the UK National Ecosystem Assessment (2013)
Journal Article
Everard, M., Maltby, E., Acreman, M., Blackwell, M. S., Everard, M., & Morris, J. (2013). The challenges and implications of linking wetland science to policy in agricultural landscapes - experience from the UK National Ecosystem Assessment. Ecological Engineering, 56, 121-133. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoleng.2012.12.086

Wetlands have been the focus of conflicts in societal priorities throughout human history, with competing demands for water and land use delivering a range of ecosystem services but contributing to severe degradation and loss. Conservation of wetland... Read More about The challenges and implications of linking wetland science to policy in agricultural landscapes - experience from the UK National Ecosystem Assessment.

Oxygenic phototrophic biofilms for improved cathode performance in microbial fuel cells (2013)
Journal Article
Ieropoulos, I. A., Walter, X. A., Walter, X. A., Greenman, J., & Ieropoulos, I. (2013). Oxygenic phototrophic biofilms for improved cathode performance in microbial fuel cells. Algal Research, 2(3), 183-187. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.algal.2013.02.002

The rate of oxygen reduction reaction in the cathodic chambers of microbial fuel cells (MFCs) is a typical limiting aspect of its performance. Recently, research on biocathodes has gained more interest as it allows circumventing the utilisation of ex...

Assessing future travel demand: A need to account for non-transport technologies? (2013)
Journal Article
Hubers, C., & Lyons, G. (2013). Assessing future travel demand: A need to account for non-transport technologies?. Foresight, 15(3), 211-227. https://doi.org/10.1108/fs-10-2011-0043

Purpose: Travel is usually not valued in and of itself, but for the activities it allows people to partake in. Therefore, if change occurs in either the activities people perform, or in the means they use to perform them, the demand for travel is lik...

Motivations for energy efficiency refurbishment in owner-occupied housing (2013)
Journal Article
Organ, S., Proverbs, D., & Squires, G. (2013). Motivations for energy efficiency refurbishment in owner-occupied housing. Structural Survey, 31(2), 101-120. https://doi.org/10.1108/02630801311317527

Purpose: The existing housing stock needs substantial adaptation to meet national and international carbon reduction targets. The largest proportion of housing is owner-occupied, and will require improvement works which go beyond those measures provi...

Current generation in membraneless single chamber microbial fuel cells (MFCs) treating urine (2013)
Journal Article
Santoro, C., Ieropoulos, I., Greenman, J., Cristiani, P., Vadas, T., Mackay, A., & Li, B. (2013). Current generation in membraneless single chamber microbial fuel cells (MFCs) treating urine. Journal of Power Sources, 238, 190-196. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jpowsour.2013.03.095

This study investigated a novel treatment process for human urine in membraneless single-chamber microbial fuel cells (SCMFCs). The performances of SCMFCs with Pt-based or Pt-free cathode were tested for over 1000 hours of operation. The pH of the an...
