Digital Prototype Framework for Understanding Building Information Modelling Adoption: Nigerian Small and Medium Architectural Firms
Thesis
Nigerian Small and Medium Architectural Firms. (Thesis). University of Salford

Globally, Building Information Modelling (BIM) has solidified its position in bringing efficiency to the construction industry. However, the shift to its adoption and implementation in emerging markets such as Nigeria has brought distortion to both t...

A study of flat-bed knitting technology for three-dimensional preforms
Book Chapter
Power, E. A study of flat-bed knitting technology for three-dimensional preforms. In Conference Proceedings: World Congress: Knitting for the 21st Century. UMIST (189-199). Manchester: UMIST Conference Centre

To enable shaped preforms to be produced accurately, it is essential to have a full understanding of the geometrical properties of the structure and the effects that the various shaping techniques produce. This publication discusses the technique of... Read More about A study of flat-bed knitting technology for three-dimensional preforms.

Knitting of electroconductive yarns
Book Chapter
Power, E., & Dias, T. Knitting of electroconductive yarns. In IEE Eurowearable '03. Conference Proceedings, 2003 (55-60). IEEE

The advantages of producing 3-D conductive knitted textiles for the purpose of generating heat are enormous. Products may be developed that conform to complex contours providing a uniform heat distribution. Applications can be foreseen in the automot... Read More about Knitting of electroconductive yarns.

Knitting shells in the third dimension
Journal Article
Power, E. Knitting shells in the third dimension. Journal of textile and apparel technology and management, 3(4), 1-13

In order to produce textile structures intended for technical applications it is essential to have a full understanding of the geometrical properties and be able to guarantee exact replicas can be manufactured. This paper discusses some of the issues... Read More about Knitting shells in the third dimension.

An examination into textile education by active research
Book Chapter
Power, E. An examination into textile education by active research. In Proceedings of the 85th Textile Institute World Conference. The Complete Set of World Conference Proceedings (199-214). Colombo, Sri Lanka.: The Textile Institute

The active research presented, is based upon an adaptation of Kurt Lewin's model, which is known as 'the spiral'. It demonstrates modifications in the teaching and learning of textiles through practitioner enquiry over a period of three years. The wo...
