Pond density as a determinant of aquatic species richness in an urban landscape (2008)
Journal Article
Gledhill, D., James, P., & Davies, D. (2008). Pond density as a determinant of aquatic species richness in an urban landscape. Landscape Ecology, 23(10), 1219-1230. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10980-008-9292-x

Green spaces within urban areas provide services and benefits to human populations and habitat for a variety of species. Freshwater, in the form of rivers, canals, lakes, reservoirs and ponds, is an important component of urban greenspaces. This pape...

Exploring magic cottage: a virtual reality environment for stimulating children's imaginative writing (2008)
Journal Article
Patera, M., Draper, S., & Naef, M. (2008). Exploring magic cottage: a virtual reality environment for stimulating children's imaginative writing. Interactive Learning Environments, 16(3), 245-263. https://doi.org/10.1080/10494820802114093

This paper presents an exploratory study that created a Virtual Reality Environment (VRE) to stimulate
motivation and creativity in imaginative writing at primary school level. The main aim of the study was to
investigate if an interactive, semi-im... Read More about Exploring magic cottage: a virtual reality environment for stimulating children's imaginative writing.

Engineering-centric BIM (2008)
Journal Article
Wilkins, C., & Kiviniemi, A. (2008). Engineering-centric BIM. ASHRAE Journal, 50(12), 44-48

Building information modeling (BIM) is the next generation of computer-automated building design. The theory is that all building data would be maintained in a single data format that allows all applications to share data with all other applications.... Read More about Engineering-centric BIM.

Mechanical strain of alveolar type II cells in culture: changes in the transcellular cytokeratin network and adaptations (2008)
Journal Article
Felder, E., Siebenbrunner, M., Busch, T., Fois, G., Miklavc, P., Walther, P., & Dietl, P. (2008). Mechanical strain of alveolar type II cells in culture: changes in the transcellular cytokeratin network and adaptations. American journal of physiology. Lung cellular and molecular physiology, 295(5), L849-L857. https://doi.org/10.1152/ajplung.00503.2007

Mechanical forces exert multiple effects in cells, ranging from altered protein expression patterns to cell damage and death. Despite undisputable biological importance, little is known about structural changes in cells subjected to strain ex vivo. H...
