Modelling motorcycles driving cycles and emissions in Edinburgh (2009)
Thesis
Kumar, R. Modelling motorcycles driving cycles and emissions in Edinburgh. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/3047

The level of ownership and use of motorcycling has increased rapidly in Edinburgh and the UK in the last ten years. In this study, motorcycle driving cycles (rural and urban) were developed for Edinburgh (Edinburgh Motorcycle Driving cycle-EMDC). The...

Urban Road Traffic Pollution and Its Effect on Indoor Air Quality. (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Currie, J., & Capper, G. (2009, June). Urban Road Traffic Pollution and Its Effect on Indoor Air Quality. Presented at 3rd International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedical Engineering , ICBBE 2009

Indoor and outdoor concentrations of various pollutants were measured in a naturally ventilated city centre office building in order to assess the effect upon indoor pollution levels of the closure of some streets in the city to road traffic. The rel... Read More about Urban Road Traffic Pollution and Its Effect on Indoor Air Quality..

Response of intertidal macrofauna to multiple disturbance types and intensities – An experimental approach (2009)
Journal Article
Whomersley, P., Huxham, M., Bolam, S., Schratzberger, M., Augley, J., & Ridland, D. (2010). Response of intertidal macrofauna to multiple disturbance types and intensities – An experimental approach. Marine Environmental Research, 69(5), 297-308. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marenvres.2009.12.001

Two of the best-supported theories which describe the effects of disturbance within marine benthic habitats are the organic enrichment ‘Successional Model’ and the ‘Intermediate Disturbance Hypothesis’. Underlying these models, biological mechanisms... Read More about Response of intertidal macrofauna to multiple disturbance types and intensities – An experimental approach.

CO2Y the intelligent green solution: minimising carbon emissions by maximising shared travel opportunity. (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Urquhart, N. B., McEwan, T., Holden, R., & Vogogias, T. (2009, May). CO2Y the intelligent green solution: minimising carbon emissions by maximising shared travel opportunity. Paper presented at Scottish Transport Applications Research Conference

It is in the interests of everybody that the environment is protected. In view of the recent leaps in environmental awareness it would seem timely and sensible, therefore, for people to pool vehicle resources to minimise the damaging impact of emissi...
