Considers some of the issues that arise when conservation philosophy is put into practice, by examining the repair of protected historic timber-framed buildings. Examines, primarily, the attitudes of key national heritage organisations, a number of p...

The rate of provision of bus-based park and ride facilities on the fringes of UK urban areas has grown in recent years. However, there has been a debate about whether the schemes reduce traffic. Research published in 1998 for the UK Government consid... Read More about Influence of bus-based park and ride facilities on users' car traffic.

The polymer products arising from the hydrochloric acid treatment of aqueous pyrrole were shown to have spectroscopic data consistent with alternating pyrrole and pyrrolidine units with varying degrees of ring opening of the pyrrole units. The acid c... Read More about A study of the effects of acid on the polymerisation of pyrrole, on the oxidative polymerisation of pyrrole and on polypyrrole.

Studies investigating the effect of rate of temperature change on thermal thresholds have used a variety of different methods and threshold combinations, and many display incomplete reporting of statistical analyses. It has been suggested that C- and... Read More about C- and Aδ-fibre mediated thermal perception: Response to rate of temperature change using method of limits.

A longer-range strategy for car-bus interchange: The 'link-and-ride' concept (2000)
Journal Article
Parkhurst, G. (2000). A longer-range strategy for car-bus interchange: The 'link-and-ride' concept. Traffic Engineering and Control, 41(8), 319-324

It is widely acknowledged that there can be disadvantages due to bus-based park and ride schemes constructed at the edge of the urban area as well as benefits. The present paper considers how these disbenefits might be reduced. In the main it is argu... Read More about A longer-range strategy for car-bus interchange: The 'link-and-ride' concept.

Journal Article
Harris, J., & Bird, D. J. (2000). Supernatants from leucocytes treated with melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) and α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) have a stimulatory effect on rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) phagocytes in vitro.

Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) and α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) are widespread vertebrate neuropeptides. In teleost fish the peptides are involved in the hormonal control of skin pigmentation, but they have also been shown to modulat...
