Development of a whole cell biochip for toxicant detection. (2002)
Presentation / Conference
Waldie, F. L., Binnie, D., & Christofi, N. (2002, April). Development of a whole cell biochip for toxicant detection. Paper presented at XIIth International Symposium on Bioluminescence and Chemiluminescence

In the development of biosensors for ecotoxicity testing it is desirable to produce a small, portable system that can be used in the field. Toxicity testing using bioluminescence is widely used in the laboratory utilising natural and genetically mod... Read More about Development of a whole cell biochip for toxicant detection..

An investigation of techniques to identify the causes of foaming in activated sludge waste water. (2001)
Thesis
Elliott, J. N. An investigation of techniques to identify the causes of foaming in activated sludge waste water. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4874

Wastewater activated sludge treatment plants are among the most common forms of biotechnological application. These plants breakdown influents of organic and non-organic matter using a complex bacterial consortia in an aerobic aqueous suspension....

An Integrated approach to street canyon pollution modelling. (2000)
Journal Article
Addison, P. S., Currie, J., Low, D. J., & McCann, J. M. (2000). An Integrated approach to street canyon pollution modelling. Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 65, 333-342. https://doi.org/10.1023/A%3A1006400406047

An integrated method for the prediction of the spatial pollution distribution within a street canyon directly from a microscopic traffic simulation model is outlined. The traffic simulation package Paramics is used to model the flow of vehicles in... Read More about An Integrated approach to street canyon pollution modelling..

Models for Estimating Solar Radiation and Illuminance From Meteorological Parameters (2000)
Journal Article
Muneer, T., Gul, M. S., & Kubie, J. (2000). Models for Estimating Solar Radiation and Illuminance From Meteorological Parameters. Journal of Solar Energy Engineering, 122(3), 146. https://doi.org/10.1115/1.1313529

Sunshine fraction, cloud amount, temperature, and global irradiation are the most commonly measured meteorological parameters. In this article five models based mainly on the abovementioned variables for the determination of irradiation and illuminan...

Effectiveness of simple ventilation strategies and partitioning in mitigating the effects of passive smoking (1999)
Journal Article
Kolokotroni, M., Perera, M. D. A. E. S., Palmer, J., Currie, J., Capper, G., & Watkins, R. (1999). Effectiveness of simple ventilation strategies and partitioning in mitigating the effects of passive smoking. Building Services Engineering Research and Technology, 20(2), 93-98. https://doi.org/10.1177/014362449902000208

Pubs, bars and restaurants are places where smoking policy is still left to the discretion of the manager and where smoking is often permitted. However, there is demand to take measures to eliminate or reduce the effects of environmental tobacco smok...

Expert system scheduling of cascade hydro-electric plants. (1996)
Conference Proceeding
Renton, M. W., & Wallace, A. R. (1996). Expert system scheduling of cascade hydro-electric plants. In Conference Proceeding of Opportunities and Advances in international Power Generation. https://doi.org/10.1049/cp%3A19960121

The hydrological interdependence of plants in cascade hydro electric systems means that operation of any one plant has an effect on water levels and storage at other plants in the system. Hydro plants may be dispatched to meet predicted demand, t... Read More about Expert system scheduling of cascade hydro-electric plants..

An experimental investigation of outflow of liquids from single-outlet vessels (1995)
Journal Article
Schmidt, O., & Kubie, J. (1995). An experimental investigation of outflow of liquids from single-outlet vessels. International Journal of Multiphase Flow, 21(6), 1163-1168. https://doi.org/10.1016/0301-9322%2895%2900051-x

This paper considers the outflow of a liquid from a single outlet vessel, i.e. a vessel in which the outflowing liquid is displaced by another fluid which enters the vessel through the same opening. The simplest possible arrangement is investigated:... Read More about An experimental investigation of outflow of liquids from single-outlet vessels.
