Effect of individual discharge cascades on the microstructure of plasma electrolytic oxidation coatings
Abstract Short duration (∼1s) PEO treatments have been applied to aluminium alloy samples on which coatings of thickness ∼100μm had previously been created. This was done using the small area electrical monitoring system previously developed in the...

Drivers of recreational fisher compliance in temperate marine conservation areas: A study of Rockfish Conservation Areas in British Columbia, Canada
Abstract Overfishing has impacted marine species over the last century, with many large-bodied and long-lived species declining to critical levels. Marine conservation areas are a popular management tool to protect and recover marine species and...

A data comparison between a traditional and the single-step β-galactosidase assay
Abstract This article describes reproducibility of a single-step automated β-galactosidase, and the equivalence of its data to the traditional assay (“Experiments in Molecular Genetics” [1]). This was done via a pairwise comparison of both methods...

Beyond the visual and verbal: Using participant-produced photographs in research on the surroundings for care at the end-of-life
Abstract The web of relationships between wellbeing and the environments in which people live has long been recognized. However, relatively little research has been conducted about end-of-life surroundings from the perspective of the dying person....

Petrogenesis of rare-metal pegmatites in high-grade metamorphic terranes: A case study from the Lewisian Gneiss Complex of north-west Scotland
Abstract Many rare metals used today are derived from granitic pegmatites, but debate continues about the origin of these rocks. It is clear that some pegmatites represent the most highly fractionated products of a parental granite body, whilst...

Non-founder human capital and the long-run growth and survival of high-tech ventures
Abstract This paper considers the impact of non-founder human capital on high-tech firms' long-run growth and survival. Drawing upon threshold theory, we explore how lack of access to complementary skills at different points in the life course...

Approaching rice domestication in South Asia: New evidence from Indus settlements in northern India
Abstract The nature and timing of rice domestication and the development of rice cultivation in South Asia is much debated. In northern South Asia there is presently a significant gap (c.4200 years) between earliest evidence for the exploitation of...

The impact of information, value-deliberation and group-based decision-making on values for ecosystem services: Integrating deliberative monetary valuation and storytelling
Abstract Monetary valuation quantifies exchange values, but broader approaches are needed to understand the meaning of those monetary values and the shared, plural and cultural values that underpin them. In this study, we integrated deliberative...

To mulch or to munch? Big modelling of big data
Abstract African farmers are poorly resourced, highly diverse and aground by poverty traps making them rather impervious to change. As a consequence R4D efforts usually result in benefits but also trade-offs that constraint adoption and change. A...
