Thesis
Groves-Phillips, S. In-migration and economic activity in rural areas of Wales. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/933200

Rural areas are changing – a population turnaround was first identified in the 1970’s (Beale 1975). Since that time more and more research has uncovered the numbers and types of people moving into rural areas (Boyle 1995, Boyle and Halfacree 1998, Bo...

Randomized algorithms and upper bounds for multiple domination in graphs and networks (2013)
Journal Article

We consider four different types of multiple domination and provide new improved upper bounds for the k- and k-tuple domination numbers. They generalize two classical bounds for the domination number and are better than a number of known upper bounds...

The provision of information about transport-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to the traveler can be seen as an instrument to increase the likelihood of more sustainable choices being made by individuals. However, as transport-related CO2 emiss... Read More about Applying valence framing to enhance the effect of information on transport-related carbon dioxide emissions.

The bondage number of graphs on topological surfaces and Teschner's conjecture (2013)
Journal Article

The bondage number of a graph is the smallest number of its edges whose removal results in a graph having a larger domination number. We provide constant upper bounds for the bondage number of graphs on topological surfaces, and improve upper bounds...
