Contrasting yield responses to phosphorus applications on mineral and organic soils from extensively managed grasslands: Implications for P management in high ecological status catchments
(Wiley, 2018-09-13)
Phosphorus (P) loss from grassland production is one of the main causes affecting high status water bodies in Europe. Soils with a high content in organic matter (OM), even if extensively managed, are particularly vulnerable ...
The influence of crown and stem characteristics on timber quality in softwoods
(Elsevier, 2018-12-28)
The relationships between several crown and tree properties and timber quality were examined on three softwood species: Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco), Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst) and Sitka ...
An investigation of the viscoelastic creep behaviour of basalt fibre reinforced timber elements
(Elsevier, 2018-08-01)
An investigation was carried out to examine the effect of flexural reinforcement on the long-term behaviour of timber beams. Creep tests, utilising statistically matched groups, were performed under Service Class 1 conditions ...
Unsaturated behaviour of a stabilized marine sediment: A comparison of cement and GGBS binders
(Elsevier, 2018-09-21)
In order to ascertain the contaminant-encapsulation potential of stabilized soil, an understanding of its unsaturated hydraulic behaviour, specifically the Soil Water Retention Curve (SWRC), is paramount. In this paper, ...
Effects of fertiliser on phosphorus pools in soils with contrasting organic matter content: A fractionation and path analysis study
(Elsevier, 2018-12-05)
With the intensification of agricultural production in many European countries, more marginal soils with elevated organic matter (OM) content are being brought into cultivation. However, little is known about the transformations ...
Advanced Material Catheter (AMCath), a minimally invasive endocardial catheter for the delivery of fast-gelling covalently cross-linked hyaluronic acid hydrogels
(SAGE Publications, 2018-10-25)
Injectable hydrogels that aim to mechanically stabilise the weakened left ventricle wall to restore cardiac function or to deliver stem cells in cardiac regenerative therapy have shown promising data. However, the clinical ...
An injectable alginate/extra cellular matrix (ECM) hydrogel towards acellular treatment of heart failure
(Springer Verlag, 2018-12-03)
As treatments for myocardial infarction (MI) continue to improve, the population of people suffering from heart failure (HF) is rising significantly. Novel treatment strategies aimed at achieving long-term functional ...
P-PAC (partnership in pedagogy, accreditation and collaboration): a framework to support student transition to emplyability in industry. A lean systems case study
(Production Engineering Committee of the Polish Academy of Sciences and Polish Association for Production Management, 2018-12)
The global economic crisis of the past decade and the accruing shifts in labour market policy, coupled with the rapid advances in technology have resulted in a far less certain future employment horizon than ever before ...
Discussion of “Statistics of model factors in reliability-based design of axially loaded driven piles in sand”
(NRC Research Press, 2018-11-22)

An evaluation of the general composition and critical raw material content of bauxite residue in a storage area over a twelve-year period
(Elsevier, 2018-10-09)
Bauxite residue, the by-product produced in the alumina industry, is being produced at an estimated global rate of approximately 150 million tonnes per annum. Currently, the reuse of bauxite residue is low (∼2%), due to ...
