The safe and efficient operation of the transport system is a fundamental national requirement. This in turn depends on a wide range of analysis and modelling tools that are used in the planning, operation and management of transport systems and in the development and delivery of transport services. These analysis and modelling tools have historically been constrained by data that are severely ...

The smart dust concept has been around for almost a decade now, but its application in transport domain has only been recently investigated. This is a very valuable area of research, as smart dust – being generally perceived as the lowcost, ubiquitous sensor of the future – can play an important role in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Our involvement in several transport-related UK an...

Water and solutes transport in epithelial tissues is an important mechanism for maintenance of the homeostasis of internal environment; volume and composition of extracellular fluid. Molecular technologies and advancement of the genome projects have identified plenty of membrane proteins that mediate epithelial transport. Membrane transport proteins can be classified into channel, solute carrie...

Impact loading is a major factor in the high prevalence of musculoskeletal injuries among military personnel during operational tasks. One of the therapeutic purposes of a pedorthic approach is to attenuate impact load through footwear and supportive device cushioning. The following research pilot project attempts to investigate this relationship. Vertical acceleration was collected at the four...

Reminiscence may help in resolving conflicts from the past and making up the balance of one's life. Life-review may be further enhanced by the creative expression of memories in stories, poems or drawings. In this way people are encouraged to create and discover metaphors, images and stories that symbolically represent the subjective and inner meaning of their lives. In this article, a new inte...
