This report sets out the methodology employed in preparing guidelines for the incorporation of environmental criteria into the planning and appraisal of river vegetation management. This work was carried out under Project ...

In this thesis I investigate the biogeochemical origins and plant availability of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in sediments dredged from the Thames Estuary. The sediments were pumped from the Thames into silt lagoons ...

Diverse operating parameters were investigated for their effects on biomass characteristics, membrane fouling and aeration efficiency in submerged membrane bioreactors (MBRS). The characteristics of the solid phase of ...

A successful method of mapping within-field crop variability of shoot populations in wheat (Triticum aestivum) and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is demonstrated. The approach is extended to include a measure of green area ...

Scale formation in domestic appliances is a widespread problem in the UK. This project has focussed on calcium carbonate scale formation in electric showers. A literature survey identified that CaCO; deposition on heated ...

Political, environmental, and commercial needs for information on the Earths surface and atmosphere drive the development of improved satellite data products. At visible and thermal wavelengths the quality of these ...

This study investigated the effect of high axle loads carried on self propelled wheels and tracks on soil bulk density, soil deformation, rut depth, and penetrometer resistance under controlled laboratory conditions. ...

This report contributes to the findings, implications, and future plans of a project, initiated by Cranfield University (Silsoe, UK) entitled “Private Sector Participation in Low Cost Water Well Drilling”.

This thesis, describes work whose principal goal has been to research and identify an optimum algorithm for computing the Radon transform - optimum in the sense of minimum CPU time for maximum image fidelity. This transform ...

This work set out to apply computational tools and biophysics principles to develop a systematic approach to the rational selection of synthetic antigens from appropriate DNA sequences. The wider potential to the rapid ...
