Demonstrating How Urban Morphology Matters: Reaching Beyond the Geometry of Building Design, Construction Systems and Occupational Behaviours and Towards Broader Context-Specific Transformations. (2013)
Journal Article
Deakin, M., Reid, A., & Campbell, F. H. (2013). Demonstrating How Urban Morphology Matters: Reaching Beyond the Geometry of Building Design, Construction Systems and Occupational Behaviours and Towards Broader Context-Specific Transformations. Environmental management and sustainable development, 2, 101. https://doi.org/10.5296/emsd.v2i2.4307

Recent studies of urban morphology, suggest the design, layout and texture of district centres, neighbourhoods and buildings have as much a bearing on levels of energy consumption and rates of carbon emission as either buildings or their occupation....

Atmospheric emissions from shipping: the need for regulation and approaches to compliance (2013)
Journal Article
Cullinane, K., & Cullinane, S. (2013). Atmospheric emissions from shipping: the need for regulation and approaches to compliance. Transport Reviews, 33, 377-401. https://doi.org/10.1080/01441647.2013.806604

Shipping has traditionally been viewed as the least environmentally damaging mode of freight transport. Recent studies have increasingly questioned this perception, as attention has focused on both the greenhouse gas emissions (mainly CO2) and the em...

Enhancing the power output of moving coil actuators by incorporating soft polymers. (2013)
Journal Article
Cho, M., Barker, M., & Prokofieva, E. (2013). Enhancing the power output of moving coil actuators by incorporating soft polymers. Sensors and Actuators A: Physical, 193, 161-169. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sna.2013.01.018

A novel design of an actuator coupled with a low-hardness silicone elastomer called “the gel surround” is presented. It means that the output power of a conventional moving coil-type actuator can be greatly enhanced by applying the novel mechanism of...

A note on climate change adaptation for seaports: a challenge for global ports, a challenge for global society. (2013)
Journal Article
Becker, A. H., Acciaro, M., Asariotis, R., Cabrera, E., Cretegny, L., Crist, P., …Velegrakis, A. F. (2013). A note on climate change adaptation for seaports: a challenge for global ports, a challenge for global society. Climatic Change, 120, 683-695. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10584-013-0843-z

With 80 % of world trade carried by sea, seaports provide crucial linkages in global supply-chains and are essential for the ability of all countries to access global markets. Seaports are likely to be affected directly and indirectly by climatic cha...

Analysis of CO2 emissions for island ferry services. (2013)
Journal Article
Baird, A., & Pedersen, R. N. (2013). Analysis of CO2 emissions for island ferry services. Journal of Transport Geography, 32, 77-85. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtrangeo.2013.08.007

In this study CO2 emissions are calculated for ferries operating on both short and long range sea routes between mainland Scotland and the Orkney Isles. CO2 emissions for land transport options connecting with the respective ferry services are also a... Read More about Analysis of CO2 emissions for island ferry services..
