Relativistic effects in non-relativistic systems (2011)
Presentation / Conference
McDonald, G., Christian, J., & Hodgkinson, T. (2011, June). Relativistic effects in non-relativistic systems. Poster presented at SEE Celebration of Research, University of Salford, Greater Manchester, UK

We propose a new model for describing the evolution of scalar optical pulses in Kerr-type planar waveguides and optical fibres. The wave envelope satisfies a dimensionless equation and its solutions are thus endowed with some intriguing and mystical... Read More about Relativistic effects in non-relativistic systems.

The refraction of plane waves at a uniform boundary between dissimilar linear dielectric materials is perhaps one of the oldest and best-understood phenomenon in optics. In contrast, the behaviour of a beam with a finite transverse cross-section is m... Read More about Snell's law for nonlinear beams.

Noisy human neighbours affect where urban monkeys live (2011)
Journal Article
Duarte, M., Vecci, M., Hirsch, A., & Young, R. (2011). Noisy human neighbours affect where urban monkeys live. Biology Letters, 7(6), https://doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2011.0529

Urban areas and many natural habitats are being dominated by a new selection pressure: anthropogenic noise. The ongoing expansion of urban areas, roads and airports throughout the world makes the noise almost omnipresent. Urbanization and the increas...

Modeling factors influencing the capacity of motorway merge sections controlled by ramp metering (2011)
Presentation / Conference
sections controlled by ramp metering. Presented at 6th International Symposium on Highway Capacity and Quality of Service, Stockholm, Sweden

This paper focuses on studying factors which are likely to affect motorway merge capacity when ramp metering controls are in use. A newly developed traffic micro-simulation model has been used for this purpose and the well known ALINEA and Demand-Cap...

Introduction: Outsider parties in government in Western Europe (2011)
Journal Article
McDonnell, D., & Newell, J. (2011). Introduction: Outsider parties in government in Western Europe. Party Politics, 17(4), 443-452. https://doi.org/10.1177/1354068811400517

Over the past two decades, a growing number of ‘outsider parties’ have entered governing centre-left and centre-right coalitions across Western Europe. In this introduction, we first define outsider parties as those which — even when their vote-share... Read More about Introduction: Outsider parties in government in Western Europe.
