Development of a computer model to simulate a low temperature differential Ringbom stirling engine. (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Robson, A., & Grassie, T. (2005, September). Development of a computer model to simulate a low temperature differential Ringbom stirling engine

The Stirling cycle engine of 1816 and subsequent closed cycle regenerative heat engines have been the subject of many analyses. The complex nature of the mechanical, fluid, and thermal processes within the engine makes an accurate analysis challengi...

A silk purse from a sow's ear? predicting current urban freight movements. (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pekol, A., Wigan, M., & Hulbert, J. (2005, July). A silk purse from a sow's ear? predicting current urban freight movements. Presented at AITPM Conference: Priority treatment: juggling competing demands

The importance of freight activity in urban areas has increased substantially and is predicted to
continue to rise. However, freight data is difficult to secure, and even more difficult to use in
policy, forecasting and analysis. This is a direct c... Read More about A silk purse from a sow's ear? predicting current urban freight movements..

Regeneration friend or foe? - issues with national congestion pricing (2005)
Journal Article
McQuaid, R. W. (2005). Regeneration friend or foe? - issues with national congestion pricing. Scotregen, 4-5

There has been support for the Minister for Transport, Alistair Darling, as he took the major step of proposing trials for a national Road User or Congestion Charging scheme. According to a Department for Transport feasibility study, the cost to dri... Read More about Regeneration friend or foe? - issues with national congestion pricing.

Shot fired dowel flitch beams. (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hairstans, R., Kermani, A., & Lawson, R. (2005, November). Shot fired dowel flitch beams. Presented at The 2nd International Scottish Conference for Postgraduate Researchers of the Built and Natural Environment

Flitch beams are a form of sandwich construction using steel and timber elements. They are used in the construction of domestic dwellings when relatively high loads and long spans predominate but available depth of section is restricted in some way.... Read More about Shot fired dowel flitch beams..
