The Komati downstream development project: Achievements and challenges (2007)
Journal Article
Terry, A. (2007). The Komati downstream development project: Achievements and challenges. Tijdschrift voor economische en sociale geografie, 98(5), 641-651. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-9663.2007.00430.x

To overcome widespread rural poverty, raise incomes and improve food security, Swaziland has begun a process of commercialisation of its subsistence farms. This strategy is based upon extending irrigation onto customary tenured land in the semi-arid... Read More about The Komati downstream development project: Achievements and challenges.

Anticipating an altered appearance: Women undergoing chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer (2007)
Journal Article
Harcourt, D., Frith, H., & Fussell, A. (2007). Anticipating an altered appearance: Women undergoing chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer. European Journal of Oncology Nursing, 11(5), 385-391. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejon.2007.03.002

Chemotherapy treatment for cancer can have a profound impact on appearance, and is often experienced as distressing. Few qualitative studies explore experiences of chemotherapy, and seldom focus on the process of anticipation and preparation for an a...

Using the XCS classifier system for multi-objective reinforcement learning problems (2007)
Journal Article
Studley, M., & Bull, L. (2007). Using the XCS classifier system for multi-objective reinforcement learning problems. Artificial Life, 13(1), 69-86. https://doi.org/10.1162/artl.2007.13.1.69

We investigate the performance of a learning classifier system in some simple multi-objective, multi-step maze problems, using both random and biased action-selection policies for exploration. Results show that the choice of action-selection policy c... Read More about Using the XCS classifier system for multi-objective reinforcement learning problems.

Journal Article
Williams, B. P., Hillier, R. D., Marriott, S., & Wright, V. P. (2007). Possible climate variability in the Lower Old Red Sandstone Conigar Pit Sandstone Member (early Devonian), South Wales, UK. Sedimentary Geology, 202(1-2), 35-57. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sedgeo.2007.05.006

The Early Devonian Conigar Pit Sandstone Member (CPSM) of the Freshwater West Formation (Lower Old Red Sandstone, Lochkovian age) at Freshwater West in south Wales comprises a heterolithic, predominantly alluvial suite (mudstones, fine to coarse-grai...

Particle tracking in Taylor-Couette flow (2007)
Journal Article
Gwynllyw, D. R., Henderson, K., Gwynllyw, R., & Barenghi, C. F. (2007). Particle tracking in Taylor-Couette flow. European Journal of Mechanics - B/Fluids, 26(6), 738-748. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.euromechflu.2006.12.001

The paths of small inertial particles are computed in a steady Taylor vortex background flow. When buoyancy effects are neglected we find that particles denser than the background fluid tend to a limit orbit in the meridional plane. The difference in...
