From single MFC to cascade configuration: The relationship between size, hydraulic retention time and power density (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016 The Authors. Achieving useful electrical power production with the MFC technology requires a plurality of units. Therefore, the main objective of much of the MFC research is to increase the power density of each unit. Collectives of MFCs will...

Analysis of microbial fuel cell operation in acidic conditions using the flocculating agent ferric chloride (2016)
Journal Article

© 2014 Society of Chemical Industry. BACKGROUND: Ferric chloride (FeCl3) is widely used as a flocculating agent during wastewater treatment but can detrimentally lower pH and increase iron concentration. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are a promising te... Read More about Analysis of microbial fuel cell operation in acidic conditions using the flocculating agent ferric chloride.

Emergent behaviors in a bio-inspired platform controlled by a physical cellular automata cluster (2016)
Journal Article

This work illustrates behavior patterns and trajectories of a bio-inspired artificial platform induced by a cellular automata (CA)-based control strategy. The platform embeds both CA control as physical electronic architecture and a distributed hardw...

Place-based collaboration: Leadership for a changing world (2015)
Journal Article

Place-less power, meaning the exercise of power by decision makers who are unconcerned about the impact of their decisions on communities living in particular places, has grown significantly in the last thirty years. A consequence is that societies... Read More about Place-based collaboration: Leadership for a changing world.

Cycling infrastructure for reducing cycling injuries in cyclists (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 The Cochrane Collaboration. Background: Cycling is an attractive form of transport. It is beneficial to the individual as a form of physical activity that may fit more readily into an individual's daily routine, such as for cycling to work and...

Beyond dissemination - Science communication as impact (2015)
Journal Article

The drive for impact from research projects presents a dilemma for science communication researchers and practitioners - should public engagement be regarded only as a mechanism for providing evidence of the impact of research or as itself a form of...

An exploration of factors affecting the long term psychological impact and deterioration of mental health in flooded households (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 The Authors. The long term psychological effect of the distress and trauma caused by the memory of damage and losses associated with flooding of communities remains an under researched impact of flooding. This is particularly important for com... Read More about An exploration of factors affecting the long term psychological impact and deterioration of mental health in flooded households.

To read or not to read? The politics of overlooking gender in the geographical canon (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 Elsevier Ltd. Wherever there is an established 'canon' within an established scholarly arena, this is near universally dominated by texts written by men. Whilst historical contextual reasons may account for the gendering of such knowledge prod... Read More about To read or not to read? The politics of overlooking gender in the geographical canon.

The same mode again? An exploration of mode choice variability in Great Britain using the National Travel Survey (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 The Authors. The main focus of travel behaviour research has been explaining differences in behaviour between individuals (interpersonal variability) with less emphasis given to the variability of behaviour within individuals (intrapersonal va...
