Properties of UK-Grown Sitka Spruce: Extent and Sources of Variation. (2008)
Journal Article
Moore, J., Lyon, A. J., Ridley-Ellis, D., & Gardiner, B. A. (2008). Properties of UK-Grown Sitka Spruce: Extent and Sources of Variation. Timber Engineering,

Structural timber produced from Sitka spruce plantations in the UK typically achieves the requirements for the C16 strength class. However, very little is known about the variability of this plantation resource, or the factors that contribute to this...

Visualisation to Aid Biodiversity Studies through Accurate Taxonomic Reconciliation. (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Graham, M., Craig, P., & Kennedy, J. (2008, July). Visualisation to Aid Biodiversity Studies through Accurate Taxonomic Reconciliation. Presented at BNCOD 2008

All aspects of organismal biology rely on the accurate identification
of specimens described and observed. This is particularly important for
ecological surveys of biodiversity, where organisms must be identified and
labelled, both for the purpose... Read More about Visualisation to Aid Biodiversity Studies through Accurate Taxonomic Reconciliation..

Fatty liver is an increasingly prevalent condition that is associated with several metabolic derangements, thus necessitating the development of effective therapeutic interventions. Growing evidence from cross-sectional studies suggest that physical... Read More about Exercise and the fatty liver.

Evolution of soil fabric and its interpretation using different methods. (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Barreto, D. (2008, June). Evolution of soil fabric and its interpretation using different methods. Paper presented at British Geotechnical Association (BGA) Young Geotechnical Engineers' Symposium

Different methods to study the evolution of fabric anisotropy are presented. DEM simulations on assemblies of spheres subjected to different stress paths using a three-dimensional periodic cell are used for the analysis of these methods. The links be...
