New techniques in sol–gel characterisation – mechanical measurements and fractal characteristics (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Williams, P., Williams, R. L., Jones, R., Al-Hussany, A., & Ravji, S. (2000, August). New techniques in sol–gel characterisation – mechanical measurements and fractal characteristics. Presented at 8th International Conference on Non-Crystalline Materials, Aberystwyth, UK

We report theoretical and experimental work which demonstrates how the viscoelastic dispersion of shear waves may be exploited in studies of the rheological properties of systems such as `critical-gels' – systems at the gel point. At the gel point a... Read More about New techniques in sol–gel characterisation – mechanical measurements and fractal characteristics.

Analysis of liquid outflow from single-outlet vessels (2001)
Journal Article

A model of the commuting range of unemployed job seekers (2001)
Book Chapter
McQuaid, R. W., & Greig, M. (2001). A model of the commuting range of unemployed job seekers. In D. Pitfield (Ed.), Transport Planning, Logistics and Spatial Mismatch (152-166). Pion

The ability or willingness of unemployed people to travel further to a new job will affect the level of mismatch between job seekers and jobs (Brueckner and Martin 1997; Gabriel and Rosenthal, 1996; Holzer, 1991). Empirical evidence suggests that a r... Read More about A model of the commuting range of unemployed job seekers.

Risk sensitivity applied to arch bridge assessments: an introduction. (2001)
Journal Article
Ng, K.-H., Fairfield, C. A., & Sibbald, A. (2001). Risk sensitivity applied to arch bridge assessments: an introduction. The structural engineer : journal of the Institution of Structural Engineers, 79, 31-37

There are approximately 75,000 masonry arch bridges in the UK, most of which were built between 1700 and 1900 and are now carrying traffic loads far beyond those envisaged by the original designers and builders. A question has to be asked as to wheth... Read More about Risk sensitivity applied to arch bridge assessments: an introduction..

Strategic and tactical options for manageing the quality and value of eucalypt plantation resources. (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Turner, P. (2001, September). Strategic and tactical options for manageing the quality and value of eucalypt plantation resources

The paper outlines options for managing the quality and value of eucalypt plantation resources. It begins with the hypothesis that variation is the largest single issue with regard to wood quality and that the extent of variation creates both the big...
