Topology: A novel method to describe branching patterns in Peronospora viciae colonies (2003)
Journal Article
Johnston, M. A., Ott, A., Spencer-Phillips, P. T., & Willey, N. (2003). Topology: A novel method to describe branching patterns in Peronospora viciae colonies. Mycological Research, 107(10), 1123-1131. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0953756203008384

Topology provides a novel means to describe branching patterns and has not been applied to fungal colonies previously. For any branched structure, various topologies are possible, and these lie between two extremes, a herringbone pattern (main axis w...

Journal Article
Kukkonen, J., Partanen, L., Karppinen, A., Ruuskanen, J., Junninen, H., Kolehmainen, M., …Cawley, G. (2003). Extensive evaluation of neural network models for the prediction of NO 2 and PM10 concentrations, compared with a deterministic modelling system and measurements in central Helsinki. Atmospheric Environment, 37(32), 4539-4550. https://doi.org/10.1016/S1352-2310%2803%2900583-1

Five neural network (NN) models, a linear statistical model and a deterministic modelling system (DET) were evaluated for the prediction of urban NO2 and PM10 concentrations. The model evaluation work considered the sequential hourly concentration ti...

A collaborative design appraisal system for water treatment engineering projects (2003)
Journal Article
Sun, M., Bakis, N., & Aouad, G. (2003). A collaborative design appraisal system for water treatment engineering projects. Advances in Engineering Software, 34(11-12), 737-743. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0965-9978%2803%2900106-6

Water treatment projects usually involve large capital investment. Design appraisal is crucial to ensure project quality and cost effectiveness. The aim of design appraisal is to give the design team an opportunity to evaluate a proposed solution at...

Putting Parish Plans in their place: Relationships between community-based initiatives and development planning in English villages (2003)
Journal Article
Owen, S., & Moseley, M. (2003). Putting Parish Plans in their place: Relationships between community-based initiatives and development planning in English villages. Town Planning Review, 74(4), 445-471. https://doi.org/10.3828/tpr.74.4.5

Two approaches to village planning have evolved over the past 50 years or so- the traditional land use approach of local planning authorities and, recently, more broadly based planning initiatives undertaken by communities themselves. The paper trace... Read More about Putting Parish Plans in their place: Relationships between community-based initiatives and development planning in English villages.

Land valorisation processes and state intervention in land management in peri-urban Accra, Ghana (2003)
Journal Article
Larbi, W. O., Antwi, A., & Olomolaiye, P. (2003). Land valorisation processes and state intervention in land management in peri-urban Accra, Ghana. International Development Planning Review, 25(4), 355-371. https://doi.org/10.3828/idpr.25.4.3

There is a continuous debate as to whether indigenous land tenure systems in sub-Saharan Africa can support market-based decisions. Whether or not this is the case is crucial to the quest for appropriate institutional frameworks to harness the potent...

The demand for military spending in developing countries: A dynamic panel analysis (2003)
Journal Article
Dunne, J. P., & Perlo-Freeman, S. (2003). The demand for military spending in developing countries: A dynamic panel analysis. Defence and Peace Economics, 14(6), 461-474. https://doi.org/10.1080/1024269032000085224

Estimating demand functions for developing countries before and after the end of the Cold War, Dunne and PerloFreeman (2003) found little evidence of any change in the underlying relationship. One concern with their analysis was that the use of cross... Read More about The demand for military spending in developing countries: A dynamic panel analysis.

The flow of a DAE near a singular equilibrium (2003)
Journal Article
Beardmore, R. E., & Laister, R. (2003). The flow of a DAE near a singular equilibrium. SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications, 24(1), 106-120. https://doi.org/10.1137/S0895479800378660

We extend the differential-algebraic equation (DAE) taxonomy by assuming that the linearization of a DAE about a singular equilibrium has a particular index-2 Kronecker normal form. A Lyapunov-Schmidt procedure is used to reduce the DAE to a quasilin... Read More about The flow of a DAE near a singular equilibrium.
