Using soil and groundwater data to understand resistivity surveys over a simulated clandestine grave (2009)
Book

Geophysical electrical resistivity surveys have been used in a number of attempts to locate clandestine ‘shallow’ graves, based on the valid assumption that a grave may represent a contrast in the electrical properties of the ground compared to ‘back...

Thieme Chemistry Journal Awardees - Where are They Now? Synthesis of the Marine Glycolipid Dioctadecanoyl Discoside (2009)
Journal Article

The first synthesis of the inositol-containing marine glycolipid dioctadecanoyl discoside is reported. The key glycosylation reaction proceeds with ß-selectivity at reduced temperature. The separable anomers could be readily progressed to afford disc... Read More about Thieme Chemistry Journal Awardees - Where are They Now?

Performing economy differently: Exploring economic personhood and local economic diversity (2009)
Journal Article

Many popular conceptions of economy now delimit what counts as the ‘real’ economy by capitalist enterprises, market transactions and wage labour. Anthropologists describe such ideas of economy as abstract, dis-embedded (Polanyi 1957a, b) or virtual (...

The Recruitment and Retention of Central and Eastern European Migrant Workers in the United Kingdom: A Panacea or a Problem under the New Policies of 'Managed Migration'? (2009)
Journal Article

The latest changes in the UK government's managed migration policy with the introduction of a new Points-Based System have been recognized as privileging White European economic migrant workers – including those from Central and Eastern European (CEE...

Lithofacies and age data of Jurassic foreslope and basin sediments of Rudabanya Hills (NE Hungary) and their tectonic interpretation (2009)
Journal Article

Jurassic sedimentary rocks of the Telekesvölgy Complex (Bódva Series), Telekesoldal Complex (Telekesoldal Nappe) and the Csipkés Hill olistostrome in Rudabánya Hills (NE Hungary) were sampled for microfacies studies and interpretation of the depositi...

Comparison of time-lapse GPR and resistivity over simulated clandestine graves (2009)
Conference Proceeding

Forensic geophysics should be an invaluable tool to assist search teams to detect and locate clandestine graves of buried murder victims. At present however, geophysics is under-utilised and currently used techniques may not be optimal for specific t...

Economic Migration from the EU 'A8' Accession Countries and the Impact on Low-demand Housing Areas: Opportunity or Threat for Housing Market Renewal Pathfinder Programmes in England? (2009)
Journal Article

Since EU enlargement in 2004, there has been a substantial influx of economic migrants to the UK from the `A8' accession countries. A significant number have moved into Housing Market Renewal Pathfinder areas, which are focused on reshaping failing h...

Climate change at the Triassic/Jurassic boundary: palynological evidence from the Furkaska section (Tatra Mountains, Slovakia) (2009)
Journal Article

The palynology of the Triassic/Jurassic boundary interval of the Furkaska section (Tatra Mts, Slovakia) was studied with respect to a major climatic change during that period. The palynofacies is dominated by terrestrial particles, indicating a shall...

Rethinking Indigenous Place: Igorot Identity and Locality in the Philippines (2009)
Journal Article

Spanish and American colonisers ascribed the identity ‘Igorot’ to the peoples of the northern Philippine mountains, positioning them in the ‘tribal slot’, somewhere between ordinary peasants and ‘backward’ primitives. From this marginal position, con... Read More about Rethinking Indigenous Place: Igorot Identity and Locality in the Philippines.
