We begin the development of a theory of Banach spaces in the definable setting of o-minimal structures. We outline several results which develop the theory of compact embeddings for explicitly given function spaces. One aim is to explain the substantive underpinnings of an important observation used in the proof of the Reparameterization Theorem of Pila and Wilkie in [2]. We place this observat...

For emissions reduction legislation to be effective, it is...

In the waste management field and the wider environmental sciences arena, science and regulation have become increasingly uneasy bedfellows. Scientific research should create the bedrock that underpins environmental legislation, shaping its construction, interpretation and implementation.
