Exploring changes to cycle infrastructure to improve the experience of cycling for families (2013)
Journal Article
Clayton, W., & Musselwhite, C. (2013). Exploring changes to cycle infrastructure to improve the experience of cycling for families. Journal of Transport Geography, 33, 54-61. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtrangeo.2013.09.003

Positive changes to the immediate cycling environment can improve the cycling experience through increasing levels of safety, but little is known about how the intrinsic benefits of cycling might be enhanced beyond this. This paper presents research... Read More about Exploring changes to cycle infrastructure to improve the experience of cycling for families.

"It Shouldn't Stick Out from Your Bikini at the Beach": Meaning, Gender, and the Hairy/Hairless Body (2013)
Journal Article

Women's and men's bodies and sexuality can be understood as socially situated and socially produced. This means they are affected by, and developed in relation to, patterned sociocultural meanings and representations. We aim here to understand a rece...

Geographical and temporal dimensions of Bulgarian attitudes towards the rural environment (2013)
Journal Article
Staddon, C., & Genchev, S. (2013). Geographical and temporal dimensions of Bulgarian attitudes towards the rural environment

This paper explores certain dimensions of the transformation since 1989 in attitudes towards the environment in one largely rural locality of southwest Bulgaria. There is something of a paradox apparent in rural attitudes and behaviours to the enviro... Read More about Geographical and temporal dimensions of Bulgarian attitudes towards the rural environment.

Surname typology and the problem of inconsistent classification (2013)
Journal Article
Parkin, D. H., & Parkin, H. (2013). Surname typology and the problem of inconsistent classification. Names: A Journal of Onomastics, 61(4), 200-211. https://doi.org/10.1179/0027773813Z.00000000053

This paper analyzes methodological inconsistency in surname classification, and the implications this has for the comparability of different works. Many studies have organized surnames by type, based on each name's "meaning," in order to identify nat... Read More about Surname typology and the problem of inconsistent classification.

Dynamic polarisation reveals differential steady-state stabilisation and capacitive-like behaviour in microbial fuel cells (2013)
Journal Article
Ledezma, P., Degrenne, N., Bevilacqua, P., Buret, F., Allard, B., Greenman, J., & Ieropoulos, I. (2014). Dynamic polarisation reveals differential steady-state stabilisation and capacitive-like behaviour in microbial fuel cells. Sustainable Energy Technologies and Assessments, 5, 1-6. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.seta.2013.10.008

In this paper we present several preliminary results produced with a purposely-designed external-resistor (R ext ) sweeping tool for microbial fuel cells (MFCs). Fast sampling rates show that MFCs exhibit differential steady-state stabilisation behav...
