Eames, M., Mcdowall, W., Hodson, M., & Marvin, S. Negotiating contested visions and place-specific expectations of the hydrogen economy. Technology Analysis and Strategic Management, 18(3-4), 361-374. https://doi.org/10.1080/09537320600777127

This paper explores the role of the `hydrogen economy' as a guiding vision encompassing multiple contested technological futures, value judgements and problem framings. Hydrogen visions draw upon six overarching and competing narrative themes: power... Read More about Negotiating contested visions and place-specific expectations of the hydrogen economy.

Comparison of constructed reed beds with different filter media treating simulated mine drainage water
Journal Article
Scholz, M., & Wu, J. Comparison of constructed reed beds with different filter media treating simulated mine drainage water. Ecological Engineering, 18(3), 385-390. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0925-8574%2801%2900100-8

The aim of this study was to investigate the treatment efficiency of passive vertical-flow constructed wetland filters containing different macrophytes (Phragmites and/or Typha) and granular media with different adsorption capacities. Different conce... Read More about Comparison of constructed reed beds with different filter media treating simulated mine drainage water.
