A rigorous inter-comparison of ground-level ozone predictions (2003)
Journal Article

Novel statistical approaches to prediction have recently been shown to perform well in several scientific fields but have not, until now, been comprehensively evaluated for predicting air pollution. In this paper we report on a model inter-comparison... Read More about A rigorous inter-comparison of ground-level ozone predictions.

Rapid and direct determination of tryptophan in water using synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy (2003)
Journal Article

Water samples from lakes situated in and around the area of Tsukuba Science City, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan, were analysed using synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy and HPLC. The spectra revealed a major emission peak (λemm) at 340nm corresponding... Read More about Rapid and direct determination of tryptophan in water using synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy.

Large-eddy simulation of transonic turbulent flow over a bump (2003)
Journal Article

Transonic turbulent boundary-layer flow over a circular-arc bump has been computed by high-resolution large-eddy simulation of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations. The inflow turbulence was prescribed using a new technique, in which known dynami... Read More about Large-eddy simulation of transonic turbulent flow over a bump.

Legitimacy and the role of UK third sector organizations in the policy process (2003)
Journal Article

This paper explores the legitimacy of third sector organizations in the policy process in the United Kingdom. It draws on empirical research to examine how legitimacy is defined, both by third sector organizations and by those they target within gove...

Ideas, bargaining and flexible policy communities: Policy change and the case of the Oxford transport strategy (2003)
Journal Article

Critiques of policy networks have highlighted particularly the inability of concepts such as policy communities to explain policy change. The established construction of policy community places it chiefly as a metaphor for a relatively stable network...

Topology: A novel method to describe branching patterns in Peronospora viciae colonies (2003)
Journal Article

Topology provides a novel means to describe branching patterns and has not been applied to fungal colonies previously. For any branched structure, various topologies are possible, and these lie between two extremes, a herringbone pattern (main axis w...

The introduction of social exclusion into the field of travel behaviour (2003)
Journal Article

Extensive evaluation of neural network models for the prediction of NO 2 and PM10 concentrations, compared with a deterministic modelling system and measurements in central Helsinki (2003)
Journal Article

Five neural network (NN) models, a linear statistical model and a deterministic modelling system (DET) were evaluated for the prediction of urban NO2 and PM10 concentrations. The model evaluation work considered the sequential hourly concentration ti...

A collaborative design appraisal system for water treatment engineering projects (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Water treatment projects usually involve large capital investment. Design appraisal is crucial to ensure project quality and cost effectiveness. The aim of design appraisal is to give the design team an opportunity to evaluate a proposed solution at...

Putting Parish Plans in their place: Relationships between community-based initiatives and development planning in English villages (2003)
Journal Article

Two approaches to village planning have evolved over the past 50 years or so- the traditional land use approach of local planning authorities and, recently, more broadly based planning initiatives undertaken by communities themselves. The paper trace... Read More about Putting Parish Plans in their place: Relationships between community-based initiatives and development planning in English villages.
