Overcoming the self-image incongruency of non-cyclists (2012)
Journal Article
Purpose: The image of cyclists has been increasingly recognised as an important factor in social marketing programmes aimed at increasing cycling. The purpose of this paper is to present findings from a multi-stage research project exploring image in... Read More about Overcoming the self-image incongruency of non-cyclists.
Investigating mechanisms for non-linear genotoxic responses, and analysing their effects in binary combination (2012)
Journal Article
A recent shift by the scientific and regulatory community, towards accepting the existence of non-linear dose responses for certain DNA reactive genotoxic agents, has unveiled a myriad of questions regarding their biological basis. The mechanisms res... Read More about Investigating mechanisms for non-linear genotoxic responses, and analysing their effects in binary combination.
Service co-creation and value realisation (2012)
Journal Article
The notion of value co-creation is central to the discourse of Service-Dominant Logic (S-D logic) yet there remains little agreement among academics seeking to explain or research the value co-creation process. We distinguish service co-creation from... Read More about Service co-creation and value realisation.
Facilitating implementation of landscape-scale water management: The integrated constructed wetland concept (2012)
Journal Article

Leisure and Pleasure: Science events in unusual locations (2012)
Journal Article
Building on concepts relating to informal science education, this work compares science-related activities which successfully engaged public audiences at three different 'generic' locations: a garden festival, a public park, and a music festival. The... Read More about Leisure and Pleasure: Science events in unusual locations.
Forensic analysis of wireless networking evidence of Android smartphones (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
This paper introduces a method for acquiring forensic-grade evidence from Android smartphones using open source tools. We investigate in particular cases where the suspect has made use of the smartphone's Wi-Fi or Bluetooth interfaces. We discuss the...
