Learning through visual systems to enhance the urban planning process (2001)
Journal Article
Hamilton, A., Trodd, N., Zhang, X., Fernando, T., & Watson, K. (2001). Learning through visual systems to enhance the urban planning process. Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design, 28(6), 833-845. https://doi.org/10.1068/b2747t

The number of web-based systems for urban planning using virtual reality (VR) and/or geographical information systems (GIS) is increasing rapidly. With increasing Internet access, a majority of the urban population will be potential users of urban pl... Read More about Learning through visual systems to enhance the urban planning process.

The dependence on structure of the projected vibrational density of states of various phases of ice as calculated by ab initio methods (2001)
Journal Article
Jenkins, S., & Morrison, I. (2001). The dependence on structure of the projected vibrational density of states of various phases of ice as calculated by ab initio methods. Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 13(41), 9207-9229. https://doi.org/10.1088/0953-8984/13/41/312

We determine the structural data of seven of the polymorphs of ice (ice Ih, ice Ic, ice IX, ice II, ice VI, ice VII and ice VIII) from ab initio calculations. The dynamical properties have been analysed within the harmonic approximation via a finite-...

Journal Article
Muggleton, S., Bryant, C., Srinivasan, A., Whittaker, A., Topp, S., & Rawlings, C. (2001). Are grammatical representations useful for learning from biological sequence data?— a case study. Journal of Computational Biology, 8(5), 493-521. https://doi.org/10.1089/106652701753216512

This paper investigates whether Chomsky-like grammar representations are useful for learning cost-effective, comprehensible predictors of members of biological sequence families. The Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) Bayesian approach to learning fr... Read More about Are grammatical representations useful for learning from biological sequence data?— a case study.

Comparison of microbiology, filter media and plant communities within constructed wetlands treating wastewater contaminated with heavy metals (2001)
Presentation / Conference
Xu, J., Scholz, M., Funk, M., & Dodson, H. (2001, September). Comparison of microbiology, filter media and plant communities within constructed wetlands treating wastewater contaminated with heavy metals. Presented at 149th Ordinary Meeting of the Society for General Microbiology, Norwich

The aim was to investigate the treatment efficiency of passive vertical-flow wetland filters containing different plant communities (predominantly Phragmites Australis and/or Typha Latifolia) and granular media with different adsorption capacities in...

Influence of diffuse reflections on the playing of musicians (2001)
Presentation / Conference
Bermond, R., & Davies, W. (2001, September). Influence of diffuse reflections on the playing of musicians. Presented at 17th Int. Congress on Acoustics, Rome

To date, there has been little evidence available on how musicians perceive diffuse reflections in the early sound field in comparison to specular reflections. Two series of subjective tests were conducted among musicians, one in a small room and one... Read More about Influence of diffuse reflections on the playing of musicians.

Difference Limen for level of music (2001)
Presentation / Conference
Davies, W. (2001, September). Difference Limen for level of music. Presented at 17th International Congress on Acoustics, Rome

A psychoacoustic experiment has been conducted to determine the difference limen (DL) of the level of music reproduced in a listening room. The effects of three factors on the DL were measured using up to twelve trained subjects. The factors were m... Read More about Difference Limen for level of music.

Linked parallel synthesis and MTT bioassay screening of substituted chalcones (2001)
Journal Article
Lawrence, N., Rennison, D., McGown, A., Ducki, S., Gul, L., Hadfield, J., & Khan, N. (2001). Linked parallel synthesis and MTT bioassay screening of substituted chalcones. Journal of Combinatorial Chemistry, 3(5), 421-426. https://doi.org/10.1021/cc000075z

A 644-membered library of chalcones was prepared by parallel synthesis using the Claisen-Schmidt base-catalyzed aldol condensation of substituted acetophenones and benzaldehydes. The cytotoxicity of these chalcones was conveniently determined upon th... Read More about Linked parallel synthesis and MTT bioassay screening of substituted chalcones.

Action for sustainability: Northwest England’s tool for regional strategic sustainability appraisal (2001)
Journal Article

A requirement of the UK Government's strategy for sustainable development, published in 1999, was that all English regions would produce a sustainability framework by the end of 2000. In the Northwest, the framework has been produced under the title... Read More about Action for sustainability: Northwest England’s tool for regional strategic sustainability appraisal.
