Evidence for semantic communication in titi monkey alarm calls (2012)
Journal Article
Casar, C., Byrne, R., Hoppitt, W., Young, R., & Zuberbuhler, K. (2012). Evidence for semantic communication in titi monkey alarm calls. Animal Behaviour, 84(2), 405-411. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2012.05.010

Black-fronted titi monkeys, Callicebus nigrifrons, produce acoustically distinct vocalizations in response to several predator species. Compared to other primates, the calls are remarkably quiet, high-pitched and structurally simple, suggesting that... Read More about Evidence for semantic communication in titi monkey alarm calls.

Cultural values of semi-natural greenspace. A case study of conservation grazing (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Smith, D., Oldfield, P., & James, P. (2012, June). Cultural values of semi-natural greenspace. A case study of conservation grazing. Poster presented at College of Science and Technology Research Showcase, University of Salford

Social-ecological systems in modern environmental management bridge the traditional division between ecological and social sciences. These systems comprise frameworks encompassing both human and biophysical components, and in which ecosystem services... Read More about Cultural values of semi-natural greenspace.

Resilient ecosystem service assessments for sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Mak, C., James, P., & Scholz, M. (2012, June). Resilient ecosystem service assessments for sustainable drainage systems (SuDS). Poster presented at College of Science and Technology Research Showcase Day, University of Salford, Greater Manchester, UK

Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) have been shown to be the preferred solution in dealing with excess urban flooding compared with traditional drainage methods (Woods-Ballard et al, 2007). Aside from flood prevention and water purification, SuDS a... Read More about Resilient ecosystem service assessments for sustainable drainage systems (SuDS).

Helmholtz spatial solitons: towards a theory of ultranarrow optical beams (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Walsh, T., McDonald, G., & Christian, J. (2012, June). Helmholtz spatial solitons: towards a theory of ultranarrow optical beams. Poster presented at College of Science and Technology Research Showcase Day, University of Salford, Greater Manchester, UK

Spatial optical solitons are self-localizing and self-stabilizing beams of light that propagate with a stationary (invariant) intensity profile. Such nonlinear wave states may arise when a beam's natural tendency to diffract is exactly compensated by...

Spatiotemporal pulse propagation: connections to special relativity theory (2012)
Presentation / Conference
connections to special relativity theory. Poster presented at College of Science and Technology Research Showcase Day, University of Salford, Greater Manchester, UK

We propose a more complete model for describing the evolution of scalar optical pulses in nonlinear waveguides. The electromagnetic wave envelope u satisfies a dimensionless spatiotemporal governing equation that is of a fully-second-order form. Wit...

Spatial solitons at interfaces: nonparaxial refraction & giant Goos-Hänchen shifts (2012)
Presentation / Conference
nonparaxial refraction & giant Goos-Hänchen shifts. Poster presented at College of Science and Technology Research Showcase Day, University of Salford, Greater Manchester, UK

The behaviour of light at interfaces underpins, in an essential way, the entire field of optics: almost all technological device designs and architectures rely on the interplay between material mismatches (that define the interface) and the 'degree o...

Helmholtz dark solitons: oblique propagation, saturable materials & bistability (2012)
Presentation / Conference
oblique propagation, saturable materials & bistability. Poster presented at College of Science and Technology Research Showcase Day, University of Salford, Greater Manchester, UK

Dark spatial optical solitons comprise a uniform background wave that is modulated by an obliquely-propagating 'dip' in the light intensity profile. Appearing throughout nonlinear science, these universal entities possess a phase topology that endows...
