Tax and green transport plans: a survey of UK experience (1999)
Journal Article
Potter, S., Rye, T., & Smith, M. (1999). Tax and green transport plans: a survey of UK experience. Transport Policy, 6(4), 197-205. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0967-070X%2899%2900021-9

The widespread adoption of Green Transport Plans (GTPs) by employers has become an important aim of the {UK} government transport policy as it tries to find ways of reducing transport demand. However, the tax treatment of employee benefits that form... Read More about Tax and green transport plans: a survey of UK experience.

Recycling of demolished masonry rubble (1999)
Thesis
De Venny, A. S. Recycling of demolished masonry rubble. (Thesis). Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6043

The recycling of demolished masonry rubble as the coarse aggregate in new concrete represents an interesting possibility at a time when the cost of dumping such material is on the increase. With growing concerns over the environmental impact of aggre... Read More about Recycling of demolished masonry rubble.

An investigation into the reproducability results of the European ILT programme. (1999)
Journal Article
Smith, S., Pompoli, R., & Fausti, P. (1999). An investigation into the reproducability results of the European ILT programme. Building Acoustics, 6(3), 187-210. https://doi.org/10.1260/1351010991501400

In an inter-laboratory test programme (ILT) for the measurement of airborne sound insulation of lightweight walls, reproducibility values of up to 12dB were obtained from the sound reduction index measured in 21 participating laboratories. These high... Read More about An investigation into the reproducability results of the European ILT programme..

Sound transmission through hollow brick walls (1999)
Journal Article
Fringuellino, M., & Smith, S. (1999). Sound transmission through hollow brick walls. Building Acoustics, 6(3), 211-224. https://doi.org/10.1260/1351010991501419

Hollow bricks and blocks are one of the most common forms of material used for wall construction found in Central and Southern Europe. The principle purpose of the perforations (holes) is to increase the thermal insulation properties. As a result of... Read More about Sound transmission through hollow brick walls.

Employer attitudes to employer transport plans: a comparison of UK and Dutch experience (1999)
Journal Article
Rye, T. (1999). Employer attitudes to employer transport plans: a comparison of UK and Dutch experience. Transport Policy, 6(3), 183-196. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0967-070X%2899%2900020-7

Employer transport plans (ETPs) are implemented by employers to encourage their employees to choose environmentally friendly modes of transport to work. They have been a part of Netherlands’ transport policy since 1989 and now form an important plank...

A pyroelectric polymer infrared sensor array with a charge amplifier readout (1999)
Journal Article
Setiadi, D., Weller, H., & Binnie, T. (1999). A pyroelectric polymer infrared sensor array with a charge amplifier readout. Sensors and Actuators A: Physical, 76(1-3), 145-151. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0924-4247%2898%2900372-0

This paper presents a new pixel architecture for an infrared sensor array based on a pyroelectric polymer integrated with a CMOS charge amplifier. The fill factor of the sensor is optimised by placing the amplifier structure directly below the sensin... Read More about A pyroelectric polymer infrared sensor array with a charge amplifier readout.
