Extended reality (XR) virtual practical and educational eGaming to provide effective immersive environments for learning and teaching in forensic science (2022)
Journal Article

Online virtual learning resources have been available for learning and teaching in forensic science for some years now, but the recent global COVID-19 related periods of irregular lockdown have necessitated the rapid development of these for teaching...

Consumer Perceptions of Blended Hydrogen in the Home: Learning from HyDeploy (2022)
Report

This report presents the results of research into consumer perceptions and the subsequent degree of acceptance of blended hydrogen in domestic properties. Evidence from two trial sites of the HyDeploy programme: i) a private site trial at... Read More about Consumer Perceptions of Blended Hydrogen in the Home: Learning from HyDeploy.

The opportunities and challenges of governing mobility in the rural-urban fringe - a study of Warrington, UK (2022)
Thesis

The rural-urban fringe is a complex space, yet one increasingly being viewed as a unique, positive opportunity space (Scott et al., 2013). It is characterised by a flexible, contextspecific spatial form and is subject to governance pressures by both...

Portable X-Ray Fluorescence (pXRF) Analysis of Heavy Metal Contamination in Graveyards with Contrasting Soil Types (2022)
Journal Article

Human remains have been interred in burial grounds since historic times. Although the re-use of graveyards differs from one country, region or time-period to another, over time graveyard soil may become contaminated or enriched with heavy metal eleme...

Geothermal energy as a means to decarbonize the energy mix of megacities (2022)
Journal Article

The global number of megacities is projected to increase from 33 to 43 by 2030. Megacities are critical for the world’s economy; however, their resource management is particularly challenging. The increase of energy demand, in parallel to population... Read More about Geothermal energy as a means to decarbonize the energy mix of megacities.

Controlling trapping, overgrazing and invasive vegetation is key to saving Java’s last population of the Black-winged Myna (2022)
Journal Article

The Black-winged Myna (Acridotheres melanopterus) is an Endangered passerine endemic to the islands of Java and Bali, Indonesia. Illegal trapping to supply the cage-bird trade has led to its near-total extinction, with the global population estimated...

The behaviour of nitrogen during subduction of oceanic crust: insights from in situ SIMS analyses of high-pressure rocks (2022)
Journal Article

Understanding the Earth’s geological nitrogen (N) cycle requires an understanding of how N behaves during dehydration of subducted crust. We present the first in situ measurements of N in silicate minerals by secondary ion mass spectrometry, focusing...

Characterisation of riverine dissolved organic matter using a complementary suite of chromatographic and mass spectrometric methods (2022)
Journal Article

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays a fundamental role in nutrient cycling dynamics in riverine systems. Recent research has confirmed that the concentration of riverine DOM is not the only factor regulating its functional significance; the need to...

Thermal and Economic Analysis of Heat Exchangers as Part of a Geothermal District Heating Scheme in the Cheshire Basin, UK (2022)
Journal Article

Heat exchangers are vital to any geothermal system looking to use direct heat supplied via a district heat network. Attention on geothermal schemes in the UK has been growing, with minimal attention on the performance of heat exchangers. In this stud...

From alchemy to modern mineralogy: dating mineral collections via chemical notation (2022)
Journal Article

Mineral specimens found in historical collections often include specimen labels, which may provide vital information on the nature, chemistry and origin of the material. However, the evolution of chemical notation, particularly during the eighteenth... Read More about From alchemy to modern mineralogy: dating mineral collections via chemical notation.
