Between the Balkans and the Baltic : phylogeography of a common vole mitochondrial DNA lineage limited to Central Europe (2016)
Journal Article

The common vole (Microtus arvalis) has been a model species of small mammal for studying
end-glacial colonization history. In the present study we expanded the sampling from
central and eastern Europe, analyzing contemporary genetic structure to id... Read More about Between the Balkans and the Baltic : phylogeography of a common vole mitochondrial DNA lineage limited to Central Europe.

Italy's new Prime Minister can't shake off the stench of a stitch-up (2016)
Journal Article
Bull, M. (2016). Italy's new Prime Minister can't shake off the stench of a stitch-up

Only days after its prime minister resigned over a lost referendum, Italy found itself with a new government and a new prime minister, Paolo Gentiloni. But however smooth the transition was, the turbulent circumstances that led up to it were far from... Read More about Italy's new Prime Minister can't shake off the stench of a stitch-up.

Effect of attitudinal, situational and demographic factors on annoyance due to environmental vibration and noise from construction of a light rapid transit system (2016)
Journal Article
rapid transit system. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 13(12), 1237. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph13121237

The aim of this paper is to determine what non-exposure factors influence the relationship
between vibration and noise exposure from the construction of a Light Rapid Transit (LRT) system
and the annoyance of nearby residents. Noise and vibration f... Read More about Effect of attitudinal, situational and demographic factors on annoyance due to environmental vibration and noise from construction of a light rapid transit system.

An analysis of the sociotechnical transition process from the existing centralised alternating current voltage electrical system in the UK to one where distributed direct current voltage is used to meet the energy needs of the built environment (2016)
Thesis
Kinn, M. An analysis of the sociotechnical transition process from the existing centralised alternating current voltage electrical system in the UK to one where distributed direct current voltage is used to meet the energy needs of the built environment. (Thesis). The University of Salford

This study concerns the potential sociotechnical transition of the current UK centralised alternating current (AC) electricity system to one where distributed direct current (DC) systems may proliferate. The development of the new distributed DC syst...
