The UK’s first climate change risk assessment and the implications for the coast (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
In 2008 the Climate Change Act was passed into law in the UK. This provides a legally binding framework for reducing carbon emissions. Much of the focus of the Act is on reducing emissions and hence on mitigation measures, however, the Act also req...

Bacterial isolates from oak trees in Spain and Britain, showing symptoms of bark canker and Acute Oak Decline (AOD), respectively, were examined by a polyphasic approach. Both 16S rRNA gene sequencing and multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA), based on... Read More about Proposal to reclassify Brenneria quercina (Hildebrand and Schroth 1967) Hauben et al. 1999 into a new genus, Lonsdalea gen. nov., as Lonsdalea quercina comb. nov., descriptions of Lonsdalea quercina subsp. quercina comb. nov., Lonsdalea quercina subsp. iberica subsp. nov. and Lonsdalea quercina subsp. britannica subsp. nov. emendation of the description of the genus Brenneria , reclassification of Dickeya dieffenbachiae as Dickeya dadantii subsp. dieffenbachiae comb. nov., and emendation of the description of Dickeya dadantii.
Pantoea rodasii sp. nov., Pantoea rwandensis sp. nov. and Pantoea wallisii sp. nov., isolated from Eucalyptus (2012)
Journal Article
Several Gram-negative-staining, facultatively anaerobic bacterial isolates were obtained from Eucalyptus seedlings showing symptoms of bacterial blight and dieback in Colombia, Rwanda and South Africa. Partial 16S rRNA gene sequencing, together with... Read More about Pantoea rodasii sp. nov., Pantoea rwandensis sp. nov. and Pantoea wallisii sp. nov., isolated from Eucalyptus.

Low carbon construction using Guadua Bamboo in Colombia (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Guadua Angustifolia Kunth (Guadua) is a tropical species of bamboo endemic to South and Central America and widely used as a mainstream material for construction in Colombia. Its rapid rate of biomass production, renewability, high level of CO2 fixat... Read More about Low carbon construction using Guadua Bamboo in Colombia.
The rhetoric and realities of integrating air quality into local transport planning process (2012)
Journal Article
Regardless of its intent and purposes, the first decade of the Local Air Quality Management (LAQM) framework had little or no effect in reducing traffic-related air pollution in the UK. Apart from the impact of increased traffic volumes, the major fa... Read More about The rhetoric and realities of integrating air quality into local transport planning process.

Model driven engineering for science gateways (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
From n-Tier client/server applications, to more complex academic Grids, or even the most recent and promising industrial Clouds, the last decade has witnessed significant developments in distributed computing. In spite of this conceptual heterogeneit... Read More about Model driven engineering for science gateways.

Tactile SLAM with a biomimetic whiskered robot (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Future robots may need to navigate where visual sensors fail. Touch sensors provide an alternative modality, largely unexplored in the context of robotic map building. We present the first results in grid based simultaneous localisation and mapping (... Read More about Tactile SLAM with a biomimetic whiskered robot.

Quantitative analysis on SLS part curling using EOS P700 machine (2012)
Journal Article
Selective laser sintering (SLS) is a thermal process and one of the main problems associated with it is "part curling". The aim of the work is to describe the degree of curling quantitatively and to provide suggestions to minimise the curl, thereby i...

Time-dependent wave selection for information processing in excitable media (2012)
Journal Article
We demonstrate an improved technique for implementing logic circuits in light-sensitive chemical excitable media. The technique makes use of the constant-speed propagation of waves along defined channels in an excitable medium based on the Belousov-Z...

Family witnessed resuscitation; whose autonomy is it anyway? (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
In most cultures, it is largely uncontentious that when a person is expected to die, that their end is made as comfortable and peaceful as possible, and that loved ones* should be permitted to be present at their death. In such cases, family presence... Read More about Family witnessed resuscitation; whose autonomy is it anyway?.
Exploring the complexity of understanding, managing and marketing codes for sustainability in the current economic climate-issues for the small builder (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
In the UK the Code for Sustainable Homes (CSH) is set to become mandatory in 2016. However current attitudinal research highlights unwillingness within the major construction industry although there is some promising research regarding occupier aware...
