What demotivates homeowners to retrofit their houses: a systematic review (2024)
Conference Proceeding
Coates, P., Munir, M., & Panakaduwa, C. (2024). What demotivates homeowners to retrofit their houses: a systematic review.

The study identifies the factors that demotivate homeowners from retrofitting their houses. Retrofit is defined as improving the energy performance, ventilation or reducing carbon emission of a building. According to the statistics, the progress rat...

Transforming Housing Retrofit: The Potential Impact of Artificial Intelligence (2024)
Conference Proceeding
Panakaduwa, C., Coates, P., & Munir, M. (2024). Transforming Housing Retrofit: The Potential Impact of Artificial Intelligence.

80% of the housing stock by 2050 in the UK has already been built. Currently, the UK housing stock contributes 18% of the total UK emissions. Due to the legal requirement of the UK government to achieve net zero by 2050, the housing stock poses a con...

Evaluation of the EUROSEM on soil erosion simulation for loess plateau, northern China (2024)
Journal Article
Su, C., Wang, Y., Fu, |. X., & Wang, Z. (2024). Evaluation of the EUROSEM on soil erosion simulation for loess plateau, northern China. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.5919

The Loess Plateau region features fragmented landforms, sparse vegetation, and short but intense summer rainstorms that can easily cause severe soil erosion. To evaluate its applicability to a typical Loess Plateau in northern China, an indoor labora...

Bridging the Language Gap in FND Care: A Comparative Analysis of Neurologists and Psychologists (2024)
Presentation / Conference
Mashuk, M. S., Shumit, S., Yang, L., Daniela, D., Matthew, S., Lana, L., …Mohan Raj, R. (2024, July). Bridging the Language Gap in FND Care: A Comparative Analysis of Neurologists and Psychologists. Poster presented at 46th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, Disney's Coronado Springs, Orlando, Florida, USA

This study compares the communication in Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) care between neurologists and psychologists through VADER sentiment analysis and LDA topic modeling. It reveals a stark contrast in language use: neurologists prefer clin... Read More about Bridging the Language Gap in FND Care: A Comparative Analysis of Neurologists and Psychologists.

An exploration of the measured and modelled thermal characteristics of structural thermal breaks in UK buildings (2024)
Thesis
Pemberton, J. An exploration of the measured and modelled thermal characteristics of structural thermal breaks in UK buildings. (Thesis). University of Salford

This research explores the measured and modelled thermal characteristics of structural thermal breaks (STBs) in UK buildings. Thermal bridging (TB) in building envelopes can significantly affect the fabric heat loss of a building, leading to higher e...
