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...

The UK scallop fishery: Time for a fundamental review (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The global fishing industry is facing unprecedented pressures. In the past (for a variety of reasons) the entire ocean was designated as a fishery using any gear type but increasingly this approach is untenable. The seas and the fishery (albeit thr...

Public attitudes to road pricing: Exploring the role of older age, pro-sociality, social norms and trust (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Understanding the socio-psychological mechanisms that determine the public acceptability of road pricing could be a key for its implementation in urban environments where this is a viable scenario. Studying the attitudes of older people is of particu... Read More about Public attitudes to road pricing: Exploring the role of older age, pro-sociality, social norms and trust.

Cycling and disability: A review (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

People with a disability have been found to be at increased risk of developing serious health conditions – often linked to obesity as a consequence of a more sedentary life. Cycling has the potential to offer significant health benefits to disabled p... Read More about Cycling and disability: A review.
