Journal Article
Broughton, P. S., Fuller, R., Stradling, S., Gormley, M., Kinnear, N., O'Dolan, C., & Hannigan, B. (2009). Conditions for speeding behaviour: A comparison of car drivers and powered two wheeled riders. Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour, 12, 417-427. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trf.2009.07.001

Against a UK background of decreases in collisions involving car drivers, motorcycle collisions are on the increase. To throw light on this process, this paper explores differences between motorcyclists and car drivers in the conditions for speeding...

Individual responsiveness to exercise-induced fat loss is associated with change in resting substrate utilization (2009)
Journal Article
Barwell, N. D., Malkova, D., Leggate, M., & Gill, J. M. R. (2009). Individual responsiveness to exercise-induced fat loss is associated with change in resting substrate utilization. Metabolism, 58(9), 1320-1328. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.metabol.2009.04.016

Fat loss in response to exercise training varies between individuals, even when differences in compliance to the exercise program are accounted for. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether individual variation in change in fasting respir...

Quantifying the Evolution of Soil Fabric Under Different Stress Paths (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Barreto, D., O’Sullivan, C., & Zdravkovic, L. (2009, July). Quantifying the Evolution of Soil Fabric Under Different Stress Paths. Presented at AIP Conference Proceedings

It is well recognized that the macro-scale response of soils is anisotropic in terms of strength, stiffness, permeability, etc. The source of this anisotropy is thought to be an anisotropy of the material itself. This anisotropy can be quantified usi... Read More about Quantifying the Evolution of Soil Fabric Under Different Stress Paths.
