The effects of expectation on the perception of soundscapes (2014)
Journal Article
Bruce, N., & Davies, W. (2014). The effects of expectation on the perception of soundscapes. Applied Acoustics, 85, 1-11. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apacoust.2014.03.016

This paper explores how expectations of a place and its soundscape can affect our perception of that soundscape. Previous soundscape research has included expectation as one possible element of the context in which soundscape evaluation takes place....

The role of the supply chain in the elimination and reduction of construction rework and defects: an action research approach (2014)
Journal Article
action research approach. Construction Management and Economics, 32(7-8), 829-842. https://doi.org/10.1080/01446193.2014.904965

Since 2007, Ireland has suffered a circa 80% reduction in construction output. This has
resulted in bankruptcy, unemployment and bad debt. Contractors have attached greater
emphasis to production efficiency and cost reduction as a means of survival... Read More about The role of the supply chain in the elimination and reduction of construction rework and defects: an action research approach.

Despite the importance of ex situ conservation programmes as highlighted in the Amphibian Conservation Action Plan,
there are few empirical studies that examine the influence of captive conditions on the fitness of amphibians, even for basic compone... Read More about Impact of plant cover on fitness and behavioural traits of captive red-eyed tree frogs (Agalychnis callidryas).

Predicting biodiversity change and averting collapse in agricultural landscapes (2014)
Journal Article
Mendenhall, C., Karp, D., Meyer, C., Hadly, E., & Daily, G. (2014). Predicting biodiversity change and averting collapse in agricultural landscapes. Nature, 509, 213-217. https://doi.org/10.1038/nature13139

The equilibrium theory of island biogeography1 is the basis for estimating
extinction rates2 and a pillar of conservation science3,4. The
default strategy for conserving biodiversity is the designation of
nature reserves, treated as islands in an... Read More about Predicting biodiversity change and averting collapse in agricultural landscapes.
