Gender mainstreaming within local planning authorities (2003)
Journal Article
This paper discusses the extent to which EU-derived gender mainstreaming (GM) requirements are being adopted with reference to Royal Town Planning Institute research on the situation in UK local planning authorities (LPAs). Firstly, the problem of a... Read More about Gender mainstreaming within local planning authorities.

Land valorisation processes and state intervention in land management in peri-urban Accra, Ghana (2003)
Journal Article
There is a continuous debate as to whether indigenous land tenure systems in sub-Saharan Africa can support market-based decisions. Whether or not this is the case is crucial to the quest for appropriate institutional frameworks to harness the potent...

Arthropod trackways from the Early Devonian of South Wales: A functional analysis of producers and their behaviour (2003)
Journal Article
Abundant arthropod trackways, assigned to Diplichnites gouldi, are described from the Lower Old Red Sandstone (Early Devonian; Lochkovian) of Pant-y-Maes quarry, Brecon Beacons, South Wales. The trackways are preserved on bedding planes of finely lam... Read More about Arthropod trackways from the Early Devonian of South Wales: A functional analysis of producers and their behaviour.
For Real! XCS with Continuous-Valued Inputs (2003)
Journal Article
Many real-world problems are not conveniently expressed using the ternary representation typically used by Learning Classifier Systems and for such problems an interval-based representation is preferable. We analyse two interval-based representations... Read More about For Real! XCS with Continuous-Valued Inputs.
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...

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...

Constituting 'the public' in public participation (2003)
Journal Article
The emphasis on public participation in contemporary policy discourse has prompted the development of a wide range of forums within which dialogue takes place between citizens and officials. Often such initiatives are intended to contribute to object... Read More about Constituting 'the public' in public participation.

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 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.

Journal Article
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...

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.
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.
The value of integrated multimodal traveller information and its potential contribution to modal change (2003)
Journal Article
This paper reports on research that introduced the concept of integrated multimodal traveller information to mixed mode and mixed socio-demographic groups of travellers. Travellers were shown information about travel by car, coach and train for a jou...
