Assessment of landfill settlement data for evaluation of a hydro-bio-mechanical settlement model. (2007)
Conference Proceeding
Needham, A., Jones, D. R. V., McDougall, J., Dixon, N., Braithwaite, P., & Rosevear, A. (2007). Assessment of landfill settlement data for evaluation of a hydro-bio-mechanical settlement model.

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. Retrieved from 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.

Optimized solar water heater for Scottish weather conditions (2007)
Thesis
Junaidi, H. Optimized solar water heater for Scottish weather conditions. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/3799

The ICSSWH (Integrated Collector Storage Solar Water Heater), apart from being the oldest is also the most economical means of solar water heating. The effect of modifications in the collector geometry has frequently appeared in the literature, and o... Read More about Optimized solar water heater for Scottish weather conditions.

Sustainable landfill: the role of fail-safe engineering for landfill aftercare. (2007)
Conference Proceeding
Hall, D. H., McDougall, J., Drury, D., Blakey, N., Braithwaite, P., & Rosevear, A. (2007). Sustainable landfill: the role of fail-safe engineering for landfill aftercare.

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...

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, 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..

The insolation on vertical surface having different directions in the Kingdom of Bahrain (2007)
Journal Article
Muneer, T., Alnaser, W. E., & Fairooz, F. (2007). The insolation on vertical surface having different directions in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Desalination, 209(1-3), 269-274. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.desal.2007.04.037

The daily total global (HT) and diffuse (HDIF) solar radiation, measured at Bahrain International Airport, Kingdom of Bahrain, (latitude 26° 13″N and longitude 50° 39″E), had been recorded, analyzed, and studied. The mean hourly values of HT and HDIF... Read More about The insolation on vertical surface having different directions in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
