Dexamethasone exacerbates cerebral edema and brain injury following lithium-pilocarpine induced status epilepticus (2014)
Journal Article
Duffy, B. A., Chun, K. P., Ma, D., Lythgoe, M. F., & Scott, R. C. (2014). Dexamethasone exacerbates cerebral edema and brain injury following lithium-pilocarpine induced status epilepticus. Neurobiology of Disease, 63, 229-236. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nbd.2013.12.001

Anti-inflammatory therapies are the current most plausible drug candidates for anti-epileptogenesis and neuroprotection following prolonged seizures. Given that vasogenic edema is widely considered to be detrimental for outcome following status epile...

Geospatial modelling to determine the behaviour of ice cover formation during freeze-up of the Dauphin River in Manitoba (2014)
Journal Article
Lindenschmidt, K. E., & Chun, K. P. (2014). Geospatial modelling to determine the behaviour of ice cover formation during freeze-up of the Dauphin River in Manitoba. Hydrology Research, 45(4-5), 645-659. https://doi.org/10.2166/nh.2013.193

During the formation of a frazil-generated ice cover, ice bridging can occur along sections of rivers that are geomorphologically suited (e.g. very sinuous, narrowing channel width, low gradient bed slope) to arrest the flow of ice pans. Bridging may... Read More about Geospatial modelling to determine the behaviour of ice cover formation during freeze-up of the Dauphin River in Manitoba.

A multivariate comparison of the BERMS flux-tower climate observations and Canadian Coupled Global Climate Model (CGCM3) outputs (2014)
Journal Article
Chun, K. P., Wheater, H. S., & Barr, A. G. (2014). A multivariate comparison of the BERMS flux-tower climate observations and Canadian Coupled Global Climate Model (CGCM3) outputs. Journal of Hydrology, 519(PB), 1537-1550. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2014.08.059

Multiple variables from simulated climate fields are widely used in hydrological and ecological models and climate impact assessments, yet the importance of multivariate climate relationships is not widely recognised. This study evaluates climatic ou... Read More about A multivariate comparison of the BERMS flux-tower climate observations and Canadian Coupled Global Climate Model (CGCM3) outputs.

Strength assessment during shallow penetration of a sphere in clay (2014)
Journal Article
Morton, J. P., O’Loughlin, C. D., & White, D. J. (2014). Strength assessment during shallow penetration of a sphere in clay. Proceedings of the ICE - Structures and Buildings, 4(4), 262-266. https://doi.org/10.1680/geolett.14.00049

Strength interpretation from the measured penetration resistance of full-flow penetrometers, such as the T-bar and ball, is generally based on a constant bearing capacity factor associated with a deep flow-round mechanism. This approach may underesti... Read More about Strength assessment during shallow penetration of a sphere in clay.

Mems accelerometers for measuring dynamic penetration events in geotechnical centrifuge tests (2014)
Journal Article
O’Loughlin, C. D., Gaudin, C., Morton, J. P., & White, D. J. (2014). Mems accelerometers for measuring dynamic penetration events in geotechnical centrifuge tests. International Journal of Physical Modelling in Geotechnics, 14(2), 31-39. https://doi.org/10.1680/ijpmg.13.00020

Micro-electro mechanical system (MEMS) accelerometers are small, inexpensive sensors that have only recently been used in geotechnical centrifuge tests. This is unlike piezoelectric accelerometers, which are by comparison large and expensive but have...

Experimental study of dense pyroclastic density currents using sustained, gas-fluidized granular flows (2014)
Journal Article
Rowley, P. J., Roche, O., Druitt, T. H., & Cas, R. (2014). Experimental study of dense pyroclastic density currents using sustained, gas-fluidized granular flows. Bulletin of Volcanology, 76(9), 1-13. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00445-014-0855-1

© 2014, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. We present the results of laboratory experiments on the behaviour of sustained, dense granular flows in a horizontal flume, in which high-gas pore pressure was maintained throughout the flow duration by cont...

Tourism and water: from stakeholders to rights holders, and what tourism businesses need to do (2014)
Journal Article
Cole, S. (2014). Tourism and water: from stakeholders to rights holders, and what tourism businesses need to do. Journal of Sustainable Tourism, 22(1), 89-106. https://doi.org/10.1080/09669582.2013.776062

Water is a human right and it is essential to sustain life and livelihoods, as well as the health and happiness of tourists. This paper examines a destination with ample rain, but rapid and unchecked tourism development: Bali, Indonesia. The mismanag...

Co-managing carbon and air quality: Pros and cons of local sustainability initiatives (2014)
Journal Article

Perceptions, knowledge, adaptation and socio-economic cost of climate change in Northern Nigeria (2014)
Journal Article
Terdoo, F., & Adekola, O. (2014). Perceptions, knowledge, adaptation and socio-economic cost of climate change in Northern Nigeria. Journal of Agricultural Science, 6(8), https://doi.org/10.5539/jas.v6n8p60

The objective of this paper is to assess the perceptions and determine the ability of farmers in rural Northern Nigeria to explain climate change, and to ascertain the socio-economic cost of climate change to them. The study also sought to understand... Read More about Perceptions, knowledge, adaptation and socio-economic cost of climate change in Northern Nigeria.
