Spotting rat-runs
Traffic congestion is a growing challenge in many cities. As major corridors become congested, drivers may seek alternative routes through local roads. While this practice, commonly known as ‘rat-running’, reflects an adaptive use of the network to maintain travel efficiency, its concentration in residential areas negatively impacts local populations through reduced road safety, increased pollution, and community severance. Authorities face the c…
How accelerating the electrification of the van sector in Great Britain can deliver faster CO2 and NOx reductions
As a major emission contributor with significant growth potential, the light goods vehicles (vans) play an important part in achieving net-zero. In 2020 the UK government committed to phasing out sales of new internal combustion engine (ICE) vans by 2030, but the impact of the policy and how far are we to decarbonize the entire van fleet by 2050 is unclear. This paper investigates the CO2 and NOx emission trends in the van sector in Great Britain…
The Kilmichael Glassary Bell-shrine
The Kilmichael Glassary Bell-shrine is one of the treasures of National Museums Scotland. This paper re-assesses the circumstances of its discovery, its context and importance, and its role as a relic of a saint, not Moluaf, as previously suggested but possibly Columba. The wider use of handbells in the early medieval church is also considered. The bell-shrine was found in 1814, on the farm of Torbhlaren, in the parish of Kilmichael Glassary, in …
On the chemistry of John and Robert Adamson's Salted paper prints and calotype negatives
The chemical processes used by John and Robert Adamson and the possibility that they might have used some special ingredient has long been the subject of speculation. In the early stages of photography in Scotland, the chemical processes used were probably based on William Henry Fox Talbot's, but it is likely that independent experimentation followed rapidly. Visual differences among the images produced by John Adamson and, to a lesser extent, Da…
