Human-cattle interactions in PPNB and Early/Middle Bronze Age Cyprus: integrating zooarchaeological and stable isotope data
Cattle domestication and subsequent spread caused unprecedented biological, economic, ecological and social transformations in human history. Cyprus was one of the first places domestic taurine cattle were tra...

A mathematical model for meat cooking
We present an accurate two-dimensional mathematical model for steak cooking based on Flory–Rehner theory. The model treats meat as a poroelastic medium saturated with fluid. Heat from cooking induces protein m...

Accounting for the nitrogen in solid manures incorporated immediately after application in order to reduce emissions of ammonia
In four replicated field experiments the impacts of immediate incorporation of solid manures on ammonia (NH3) and direct nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions and apparent nitrogen recovery (ANR) of manure-N were measure...

Cost of Ammonia Emission Abatement from Manure Spreading and Fertilizer Application
Abatement of emissions following the application of manures to land has been identified as a priority to reduce emissions of ammonia (NH3). However, the conventional method of spreading slurry, surface broadcasti...

Do foods imported into the UK have a greater environmental impact than the same foods produced within the UK?
This study of seven foods assessed whether there are modes or locations of production that require significantly fewer inputs, and hence cause less pollution, than others. For example, would increasing imports...

Emissions of Ammonia, Nitrous Oxide and Methane During the Management of Solid Manures
Organic manures arising from livestock production provide a source of plant nutrients when applied to agricultural land. However, only about 52% of the N excreted by livestock is estimated to be recycled as a ...

Geochemistry of Early–Middle Palaeozoic basalts in the Hodgkinson Province: a key to tectono-magmatic evolution of the Tasman Fold Belt System in northeastern Queensland, Australia
The Palaeozoic Hodgkinson Province in northeastern Queensland, Australia, is host to Late Ordovician to Devonian rock assemblages that contain tholeiitic to calc-alkaline basalts. These basalts occur as massiv...

Emissions of ammonia and nitrous oxide following incorporation into the soil of farmyard manures stored at different densities
Before spreading to land, farmyard manures (FYM) from pigs (Sus scrofa) and beef cattle (Bos taurus) were stored, for c. 120–150 days, either uncompacted or compacted. Compaction was carried out as the manures we...

Measurement of N fluxes and soil N in two arable soils in the UK
We measured nitrate (NO− 3) leaching, ammonia (NH3), and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, denitrification, crop offtake of N, and wet N deposition on two fields at each of two sites for five seasons. The soils were...
