HyCon : virtual prototyping in hybrid concrete construction frame design (2006)
Journal Article
Zhang, X., Goulding, J., Sexton, M., Aouad, G., & Kagioglou, M. (2006). HyCon : virtual prototyping in hybrid concrete construction frame design. Construction innovation (London. Online), 6(1), 47-60. https://doi.org/10.1108/14714170610710604

Hybrid concrete construction is a technologically advanced approach to frame construction. It utilizes an optimal mix of structural materials;eg, in situ concrete with precast concrete and steelwork. The process of selecting an hybrid-optimized solut... Read More about HyCon : virtual prototyping in hybrid concrete construction frame design.

A probabilistic model for information and sensor validation (2006)
Journal Article
Ibargüengoytia, P., Vadera, S., & Sucar, L. (2006). A probabilistic model for information and sensor validation. Computer Journal, 49(1), 113-126. https://doi.org/10.1093/comjnl/bxh142

This paper develops a new theory and model for information and sensor validation. The model represents relationships between variables using Bayesian networks and utilizes probabilistic propagation to estimate the expected values of variables. If the...

Motivating small construction companies to adopt new technology (2006)
Journal Article
Sexton, M., Barrett, P., & Aouad, G. (2006). Motivating small construction companies to adopt new technology. Building Research and Information, 34(1), 11-22. https://doi.org/10.1080/09613210500254474

Construction companies are increasingly being challenged to transfer and use new technology. However, little investigation has been undertaken on technology transfer from the perspective of the small construction company. A contribution to this under...

AFLPs: genetic markers for paternity studies in newts (Triturus vulgaris) (2006)
Journal Article
Jehle, R., Whitlock, A., & Sztatecsny, M. (2006). AFLPs: genetic markers for paternity studies in newts (Triturus vulgaris). Amphibia-Reptilia, 27(1), 126-129. https://doi.org/10.1163/156853806776052029

DNA-based genetic markers can reveal paternity whenever the direct assignment of fathers to offspring is precluded by multiple matings and internal fertilisation. Microsatellites are the current marker of choice in many behavioural studies, and have... Read More about AFLPs: genetic markers for paternity studies in newts (Triturus vulgaris).
