Persistent organic pollutants (PCB, DDT, HCH, HCB & BDE) in eels (Anguilla anguilla) in Scotland: current levels and temporal trends. (2010)
Journal Article
Macgregor, K., Oliver, I., Harris, L., & Ridgway, I. (2010). Persistent organic pollutants (PCB, DDT, HCH, HCB & BDE) in eels (Anguilla anguilla) in Scotland: current levels and temporal trends. Environmental Pollution, 2402 - 2411. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2010.04.005

Eels are an ideal biomonitor for persistent organic pollutants (POPs) because of their high lipid content, longevity and tendency to remain within a defined range during their freshwater life phase. This study investigated concentrations of POPs in e...

Carbon input belowground is the major C flux contributing to leaf litter mass loss: Evidences from a C-13 labelled-leaf litter experiment (2010)
Journal Article
(2010). Carbon input belowground is the major C flux contributing to leaf litter mass loss: Evidences from a C-13 labelled-leaf litter experiment. Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 1009 -1016. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.soilbio.2010.02.018

Partitioning of the quantities of C lost by leaf litter through decomposition into (i) CO2 efflux to the atmosphere and (ii) C input to soil organic matter (SOM) is essential in order to develop a deeper understanding of the litter-soil biogeochemica...

Quantification of surface species present on a nickel/alumina methane reforming catalyst (2010)
Journal Article
(2010). Quantification of surface species present on a nickel/alumina methane reforming catalyst. Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 3102 - 3107. https://doi.org/10.1039/B919977B

An alumina-supported nickel catalyst has been used to effect the 'dry' reforming of methane, using CO(2) as the oxidant. After 6 hours on-stream, reaction was stopped and the sample analysed by inelastic neutron scattering (INS). The INS spectrum rev...

Sedimentary and organic facies of a continuous Late Triassic–Early Jurassic toe-of-slope to basin succession of the NE Transdanubian Range (N Hungary) was studied in order to reconstruct the palaeogeographical and eustatic evolution of the Csovár Bas...

Basin evolution of the Anisian Peri-Tethys: implications from conodont assemblages of Lower Muschelkalk key sections (Central Europe) (2010)
Journal Article
(2010). Basin evolution of the Anisian Peri-Tethys: implications from conodont assemblages of Lower Muschelkalk key sections (Central Europe). Zeitschrift der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Geowissenschaften ZDGG, 39 -49. https://doi.org/10.1127/1860-1804/2010/0161-0039

Lower Muschelkalk carbonates of the Peri-Tethys Basin are considered as poor in age-diagnostic index fossils, thus unequivocal basin-wide correlations remain difficult. Additionally, the lack of a bed-by-bed analysis and documentation of the fossil c...

Moving beyond the limits of joined-up government? Meta-governance, quality of relations and addressing the politics of joining-up. (2010)
Journal Article
Pemberton, S., & Winstanley, R. (2010). Moving beyond the limits of joined-up government? Meta-governance, quality of relations and addressing the politics of joining-up. Urban Research and Practice, 26 - 39. https://doi.org/10.1080/17535060903534164

Recent research has questioned the ability of Local Strategic Partnerships (LSPs) to secure better coordination and management of regeneration across different branches of the state. In a period of economic recession and a curtailing of regeneration... Read More about Moving beyond the limits of joined-up government?

Rethinking the changing structures of rural local government – State power, rural politics and local political strategies? (2010)
Journal Article
Pemberton, S., & Goodwin, M. (2010). Rethinking the changing structures of rural local government – State power, rural politics and local political strategies?. Journal of Rural Studies, 272 - 283. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jrurstud.2009.12.005

There is a notable absence in contemporary rural studies – of both a theoretical and empirical nature – concerning the changing nature of rural local government. Despite the scale and significance of successive rounds of local government reorganisati...

Fluorinated microemulsions as reaction media for fluorous nanoparticles (2010)
Journal Article
Hollamby, M., Eastoe, J., Mutch, K., Rogers, S., & Heenan, R. (2010). Fluorinated microemulsions as reaction media for fluorous nanoparticles. Soft Matter, 971 -976. https://doi.org/10.1039/b922260j

New fluorinated microemulsions (F-MEs) formulated from partially fluorinated solvent–co-solvent mixtures and fluorinated anionic AOT-analogue surfactants are reported. These F-MEs permit incorporation of water into fluorinated solvents, up to a volum... Read More about Fluorinated microemulsions as reaction media for fluorous nanoparticles.

Local Area Agreements as a tool for addressing deprivation within UK cities (2010)
Journal Article
Nurse, A., & Pemberton. (2010). Local Area Agreements as a tool for addressing deprivation within UK cities. Journal of Urban Regeneration and Renewal, 158 - 167 (9)

Despite a plethora of urban regeneration interventions introduced by UK Governments over the last 20 years, variation remains in respect of levels of deprivation that exist within many urban areas. This paper focuses on the extent to which Local Area... Read More about Local Area Agreements as a tool for addressing deprivation within UK cities.
