Rethinking urban capacity: Identifying and appraising vacant buildings (2004)
Journal Article
Myers, D., & Wyatt, P. (2004). Rethinking urban capacity: Identifying and appraising vacant buildings. Building Research and Information, 32(4), 285-292. https://doi.org/10.1080/0961321042000221061

Policies related to urban development and regeneration have prompted a need for greater levels of information concerning vacant land and property. A need is identified to create efficient use (and reuse) of existing real estate. Drawing on informatio... Read More about Rethinking urban capacity: Identifying and appraising vacant buildings.

Transition from Ekman flow to Taylor vortex flow in superfluid helium (2004)
Journal Article

By numerically computing the steady axisymmetric flow of helium II confined inside a finite-aspect-ratio Couette annulus, we determine the transition from Ekman flow to Taylor vortex flow as a function of temperature and aspect ratio. We find that th... Read More about Transition from Ekman flow to Taylor vortex flow in superfluid helium.

Effect of buffer on peak shape of peptides in reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (2004)
Journal Article

The effect of changing the buffer at constant low pH in the mobile phase is investigated with respect to the separation of a mixture of basic peptides. Considerably worse peak shapes, leading to poorer resolution of complex peptide mixtures, were obt...

Doubling the estimate of invertebrate biomass in a rainforest canopy (2004)
Journal Article

Forest canopies represent the functional interface between 90% of the Earth's terrestrial biomass and the atmosphere and include some of the most threatened of all terrestrial ecosystems. However, we lack even a basic understanding of how the biomass... Read More about Doubling the estimate of invertebrate biomass in a rainforest canopy.

Hydrodynamic and phylogenetic aspects of the adipose fin in fishes (2004)
Journal Article

The adipose fin on fishes is a highly conserved and enigmatic, small, non-rayed fin that has persisted from the Mesozoic on some basal teleosts such as salmonids. Using juvenile steelhead, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum, 1792), ranging from 5 to 18 cm... Read More about Hydrodynamic and phylogenetic aspects of the adipose fin in fishes.

Communicating environmental knowledges: Young people and the risk society (2004)
Journal Article

In this paper I illustrate how an increased demand for the communication of environmental knowledges in contemporary society can be understood using ideas purported by the risk society thesis. In order to deepen these connections and understandings I... Read More about Communicating environmental knowledges: Young people and the risk society.

The election of a 'New Labour' UK government in 1997 promised a new era of central-local relations facilitated by a programme of local government reform which recognised local government's 'community leadership' role. Other aspects of the agenda supp... Read More about Central-local relations in an era of multi-level governance: The case of public participation policy a England, 1997-2001.
