Needham, A., Jones, D. R. V., McDougall, J., Dixon, N., Braithwaite, P., & Rosevear, A. (2007, October). Assessment of landfill settlement data for evaluation of a hydro-bio-mechanical settlement model. Presented at Eleventh International Waste Management and Landfill Symposium,

A hydro-bio-mechanical (HBM) model of waste degradation has been under development for several years to simulate the actual processes involved in the settlement of landfilled wastes. The objective of this current research is the further development o... Read More about Assessment of landfill settlement data for evaluation of a hydro-bio-mechanical settlement model..

Moisture retention and conductivity properties of waste refuse: a laboratory study (2007)
Thesis
Kazimoglu, Y. K. Moisture retention and conductivity properties of waste refuse: a laboratory study. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/5106

The modelling of infiltration and moisture movement within a porous medium requires information on the moisture retention and hydraulic conductivity properties. In this study, the unsaturated hydraulic behaviour of a compacted waste sample based on t... Read More about Moisture retention and conductivity properties of waste refuse: a laboratory study.

Sustainable landfill: the role of fail-safe engineering for landfill aftercare. (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hall, D. H., McDougall, J., Drury, D., Blakey, N., Braithwaite, P., & Rosevear, A. (2007, October). Sustainable landfill: the role of fail-safe engineering for landfill aftercare. Presented at Eleventh International Waste Management and Landfill Symposium,

The route to sustainable landfill while adhering to the Landfill Directive requires that ultimately, the waste site will reach equilibrium status. Chemical equilibrium is part of the requirements, but hydraulic equilibrium must also play a role. The...

Killing bacteria present on surfaces in films or in droplets using microwave UV lamps (2007)
Journal Article
Barkhudarov, E. M., Christofi, N., Kossyi, I. A., Misakyan, M. A., Sharp, J., & Taktakhisvili, I. M. (2008). Killing bacteria present on surfaces in films or in droplets using microwave UV lamps. World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 24(6), 761-769. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11274-007-9536-y

The killing of bacteria on surfaces by two types
of UV sources generated by microwave radiation is
described. In both cases, UV radiation is produced by gasdischarge
electrodeless lamps (Ar/Hg) excited by microwaves
generated by a power supply fr... Read More about Killing bacteria present on surfaces in films or in droplets using microwave UV lamps.

A hydro-bio-mechanical model for settlement and other behaviour in landfilled waste (2007)
Journal Article
McDougall, J. (2007). A hydro-bio-mechanical model for settlement and other behaviour in landfilled waste. Computers and Geotechnics, 34(4), 229-246. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compgeo.2007.02.004

A conceptual framework for the analysis of settlement and other processes in landfilled waste in relation to coupled hydraulic, biodegradation and mechanical behaviour is presented. The hydraulic model is an unsaturated flow model. The biodegradation... Read More about A hydro-bio-mechanical model for settlement and other behaviour in landfilled waste.
