Promoting Sustainability From Above: reflections on the influence of the European Union on tourism governance (2011)
Journal Article
Anastasiadou, C. (2011). Promoting Sustainability From Above: reflections on the influence of the European Union on tourism governance. Policy Quarterly, 7(4), 27-33. https://doi.org/10.26686/pq.v7i4.4403

Due to the long-standing absence of direct and legally-binding competencies in tourism, European Union (EU) tourism policy has mainly influenced tourism governance through indirect interventions and non-binding instruments (Anastasiadou, 2006, 2008a,...

Learning about Light, How lighting educators are contributing to the professionalisation of lighting design. (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Innes, M. (2011). Learning about Light, How lighting educators are contributing to the professionalisation of lighting design.

The professional status of architectural lighting design varies in different parts of the world. Those of us practicing in countries with a long history of independent lighting design like to think we are working within an established profession. Yet...

Why is it so dark in here? Perception of Brightness at Low Light Levels in Museum Environments. (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Innes, M. (2011). Why is it so dark in here? Perception of Brightness at Low Light Levels in Museum Environments.

Many museum and gallery exhibits are fragile objects that would not survive repeated handling. Even where this is not the case, it is generally frowned upon for visitors to touch exhibits. As a result, vision is by far the most important sense for mu... Read More about Why is it so dark in here? Perception of Brightness at Low Light Levels in Museum Environments..

Changes in carotenoid‐based plumage colour in relation to age in European Serins Serinus serinus (2011)
Journal Article
Pagani-Núñez, E., & Senar, J. C. (2012). Changes in carotenoid‐based plumage colour in relation to age in European Serins Serinus serinus. Ibis, 154(1), 155-160. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1474-919X.2011.01197.x

Yearling birds generally display duller colours than adults. This may be due to selection favouring birds with more intensely coloured plumage or to an increase in colour after the first complete moult. Most research to date on the topic has been car...
