River bed sediment surface characterisation using wavelet transform-based methods. (2004)
Thesis
Nyander, A. River bed sediment surface characterisation using wavelet transform-based methods. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/5885

The primary purpose of this work was to study the morphological change of river-bed
sediment surfaces over time using wavelet transform analysis techniques. The wavelet
transform is a rapidly developing area of applied mathematics in both science a... Read More about River bed sediment surface characterisation using wavelet transform-based methods..

Phase relations for decomposable soils (2004)
Journal Article
McDougall, J. R., & Pyrah, I. C. (2004). Phase relations for decomposable soils. Géotechnique, 54(7), 487-493. https://doi.org/10.1680/geot.54.7.487.46750

Expressions describing the phase composition and interphase relations for a decomposable soil are derived by distinguishing between inert and decomposable fractions. A relationship between void volume changes and decomposition of the solid fraction,... Read More about Phase relations for decomposable soils.

Extended phase relations and load effects in MSW (2004)
Journal Article
McDougall, J., Pyrah, I., & Yuen, S. T. S. (2004). Extended phase relations and load effects in MSW. Waste Management, 24(3), 251-257. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.wasman.2003.10.009

The moisture retention and compression characteristics of municipal solid waste under self-weight are likened to those of an unsaturated soil. By assuming that the solid organic fraction in waste retains a relatively immobile micropore moisture and t... Read More about Extended phase relations and load effects in MSW.
