"Who Milks the Cows at Maesgwyn?" The Animality of UK Rural Landscapes in Affective Registers (2013)
Journal Article

Landscapes are complex outplays of intersecting flows of agency in which humans and non-humans combine in a series of registers, and in cycles of comings and goings to make meshworks of life in place. The presence of animals in some landscapes can be... Read More about "Who Milks the Cows at Maesgwyn?" The Animality of UK Rural Landscapes in Affective Registers.

Decision comprehensiveness and team performance: The moderating role of perceived similarity (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Decision comprehensiveness is the extent to which members of a team systematically gather quantities of information and consider these in the process of making decisions (Frederickson & Mitchell, 1984). Empirical research indicates that under certain... Read More about Decision comprehensiveness and team performance: The moderating role of perceived similarity.

‘An object of indecipherable bastardy – a real monster: Homosociality, homoeroticism and generic hybridity in dead man’s shoes’ (2013)
Book Chapter

This chapter explores Shane Meadows's approaches to genre, arguing that hybrid forms of film type are employed in order to underscore the elements of myth which are evident in his work. In particular, it looks at how evocations of the monster weave t...

Ecology of reproduction in Sanje mangabeys (Cercocebus sanjei): Dietary strategies and energetic condition during a high fruit period (2013)
Journal Article

The ability to increase energy storage when food is abundant for later use during late gestation and early lactation is often considered the primary benefit of the capital breeding strategy (clustering conceptions during high food periods, HFP) that...

Automated generation of structural solutions based on spatial designs (2013)
Journal Article

To aid in the understanding of design processes and to support the involved actors, a Research Engine (RE) is under development. The RE is a set of automated computational processes that simulate a spatial-structural design process. The first develop...

Underpotential deposition of lead at silver electrodes manufactured from compact discs and its determination in environmental water samples (2013)
Journal Article

The present paper describes the facile manufacture of silver electrodes from compact discs for the anodic stripping voltammetric determination of lead. The voltammetric behaviour of Pb in 0.1 M HCl was examined by cyclic voltammetry. Using a starting...

Safeguarding the provision of ecosystem services in catchment systems (2013)
Journal Article

A narrow technocentric focus on a few favored ecosystem services (generally provisioning services) has led to ecosystem degradation globally, including catchment systems and their capacities to support human well-being. Increasing recognition of the... Read More about Safeguarding the provision of ecosystem services in catchment systems.

Gaussian lower bounds on the Dirichlet heat kernel and non-existence of local solutions for semilinear heat equations of Osgood type (2013)
Journal Article

We give a simple proof of a lower bound for the Dirichlet heat kernel in terms of the Gaussian heat kernel. Using this we establish a non-existence result for semilinear heat equations with zero Dirichlet boundary conditions
and initial data in $L^q... Read More about Gaussian lower bounds on the Dirichlet heat kernel and non-existence of local solutions for semilinear heat equations of Osgood type.
