Landfill modelling challenge: HBM modelling predictions (2008)
Journal Article
McDougall, J. (2008). Landfill modelling challenge: HBM modelling predictions. Proceedings of the ICE - Waste and Resource Management, 161, 147-153. https://doi.org/10.1680/warm.2008.161.4.147

Two laboratory-scale consolidating anaerobic reactors were commissioned, constructed and monitored by Southampton University's waste research group to investigate the long-term behaviour of decomposing waste. The reactor tests were run for 919 days w... Read More about Landfill modelling challenge: HBM modelling predictions.

Views on chemical safety information and influences on chemical disposal behaviour in the UK (2008)
Journal Article
Hinks, J., Bush, J., Andras, P., Garratt, J., Pigott, G., Kennedy, A., & Pless-Mulloli, T. (2009). Views on chemical safety information and influences on chemical disposal behaviour in the UK. Science of the Total Environment, 407(4), 1299-1306. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2008.10.056

This study examined how groups representing four tiers in the chemical supply chain (manufacturers, vendors, workers and consumers) understood safety information, and the factors that influenced disposal behaviour. Data from seven, semi-structured, f... Read More about Views on chemical safety information and influences on chemical disposal behaviour in the UK.

A circularly‐polarized conical‐beam microstrip patch antenna, with a coplanar conductor pattern, is realized as an array of a number of stripline‐fed slotted patches whose diagonal corners are cut off and whose feedlines meet at a central point. Prot... Read More about New Circularly-Polarised Conical-Beam Microstrip Patch Antenna Array For Short-Range Communication Systems.

Edinburgh's Congestion Charging Plans: An Analysis of Reasons for Non-Implementation (2008)
Journal Article

The City of Edinburgh in Scotland in the UK had advanced plans for a congestion charging scheme until 25 February 2005. However, these plans were abandoned at that time after a referendum that resulted in a ‘no vote’. This paper explains the origins...
