The potential impact of green agendas on historic river landscapes : numerical modelling of multiple weir removal in the Derwent Valley Mills world heritage site, UK (2017)
Journal Article
Howard, A., Coulthard, T., & Knight, D. (2017). The potential impact of green agendas on historic river landscapes : numerical modelling of multiple weir removal in the Derwent Valley Mills world heritage site, UK. Geomorphology, 293(A), 37-52. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2017.05.009

The exploitation of river systems for power and navigation has commonly been achieved through the installation of a variety of in-channel obstacles of which weirs in Britain are amongst the most common. In the UK, the historic value of many of these...

New approaches to mapping and managing palaeochannel resources in the light of future environmental change : a case study from the Trent Valley, UK (2017)
Journal Article
Stein, S., Malone, S., Knight, D., Howard, A. J., & Carey, C. (2017). New approaches to mapping and managing palaeochannel resources in the light of future environmental change : a case study from the Trent Valley, UK. The Historic Environment: Policy & Practice, 8(2), 113-124. https://doi.org/10.1080/17567505.2017.1317086

Abandoned river channels may provide rich primary sources of palaeoenvironmental and cultural information elucidating landscape evolution, climate change, vegetation history and human impact, especially since the beginning of the Holocene epoch. Howe... Read More about New approaches to mapping and managing palaeochannel resources in the light of future environmental change : a case study from the Trent Valley, UK.

Type and token bigram frequencies for two-through nine-letter words and the prediction of anagram difficulty (2011)
Journal Article
Knight, D., & Muncer, S. (2011). Type and token bigram frequencies for two-through nine-letter words and the prediction of anagram difficulty. Behavior Research Methods, 43(2), 491-498. https://doi.org/10.3758/s13428-011-0068-x

Recent research on anagram solution has produced two original findings. First, it has shown that a new bigram frequency measure called top rank, which is based on a comparison of summed bigram frequencies, is an important predictor of anagram difficu...

The Syllable Effect in Anagram Solution: Unrecognised Evidence from Past Studies (2011)
Journal Article
Muncer, S., & Knight, D. (2011). The Syllable Effect in Anagram Solution: Unrecognised Evidence from Past Studies. Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 40(2), 111-118. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10936-010-9159-6

Six previous studies of the variables affecting anagram solution are re-examined for the evidence that number of syllables contributes to solution difficulty. It was shown that the number of syllables in a solution word was confounded with imagery fo... Read More about The Syllable Effect in Anagram Solution: Unrecognised Evidence from Past Studies.
