Drawing from the well of community participation: an evaluation of the utility of local knowledge in the health impact assessment process (2015)
Journal Article
Chilaka, M. (2015). Drawing from the well of community participation: an evaluation of the utility of local knowledge in the health impact assessment process. Community Development, 46(2), 100-110. https://doi.org/10.1080/15575330.2015.1014060

Engagement with local residents is increasingly being used as a source of evidence for making health impact assessment (HIA) predictions. However, there have been criticisms about the community engagement process and the value of evidence derived fro...

Dispersion phenomena in symmetric pre-stressed layered elastic structures (2015)
Journal Article
Lashhab, M., Rogerson, G., & Sandiford, K. (2015). Dispersion phenomena in symmetric pre-stressed layered elastic structures. International Journal of Solids and Structures, 58, 220-232. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijsolstr.2015.01.006

The dispersion relation associated with a symmetric three layer structure, composed of compressible, pre-stressed elastic layers, is derived. This mathematically elaborate transcendental equation gives phase speed as an implicit function of wave numb...

Synchrotron X-ray CT of rose peduncles – evaluation of tissue damage by radiation* (2015)
Journal Article
Herppich, W., Matsushima, U., Graf, W., Zabler, S., Dawson, M., Choinka, G., & Manke, I. (2015). Synchrotron X-ray CT of rose peduncles – evaluation of tissue damage by radiation*. MP Materials Testing, 57(1), 59-63. https://doi.org/10.3139/120.110675

"Bent-neck" syndrome, an important postharvest problem of cut roses, is probably caused by water supply limitations and/or the structural weakness of vascular bundles of the peduncle tissue. For this reason, advanced knowledge about the microstructur... Read More about Synchrotron X-ray CT of rose peduncles – evaluation of tissue damage by radiation*.
