Abstract:
... Contact with, and psychological connectedness to the natural world are both associated with various health and sustainability-related outcomes. To date, though, the evidence base has been fragmented. Using a representative sample of the adult population of England (N = 4,960), we investigated the relationships between three types of nature contact, psychological connectedness, health, subjective w ...

Abstract:
... Birds are shown in English medieval manuscripts and on other forms of material culture to illustrate biblical or other texts. Manorial and other written records provide details of expenditure and acquisition. Taken together, the evidence of art and documents can aid the study of poultry and other birds from their faunal remains to achieve a comprehensive account of their importance to medieval con ...

... Evaluating the performance of water companies is of great importance for both water utilities and water regulators. This paper explores comparative levels of technical efficiencies and technology gap ratios with the metafrontier concept by estimating an input distance function using stochastic frontier techniques. The metafrontier framework is employed in the water services of water and sewerage c ...

Abstract:
... The supply, transfer and deposition of sediment from channel headwaters to lowland sinks, is a fundamental process governing upland catchment geomorphology, and can begin to be understood by quantifying 2D river planform adjustments over time. This paper presents a catchment scale methodology to quantify historic patterns of 2D channel planform adjustment and considers geomorphic controls on 2D ri ...

This study examined the restoration by green hay transfer of upland hay meadows, a particularly scarce and vulnerable habitat, over an 11‐year chronosequence. The community composition of 18 restoration meadows was compared with that of donor reference sites in two ...

The residence times of plastics in the oceans are unknown, largely because of the durability of the material and the relatively short (decadal) period of time over which plastic products have been manufactured. In this study, classic LEGO bricks constructed of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and washed up on beaches of southwest England have been subjected to X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysi ...

Abstract:
... Late Viséan platform interior carbonate strata of northern England and Wales have traditionally been interpreted to comprise shallowing-up cyclothems, the upper boundaries of which are marked by unconformities that record subaerial exposure events. These strata were deposited during what is understood to be a greenhouse-to-icehouse transition, and the cyclothems are assumed to reflect glacioeustat ...

But none of previous TSA research has taken into consideration the difference between two instability modes (aperiodic instability and oscillatory instability), which may threaten secure operation of power system. To address this problem, a TSA a ...
