Purpose: the UK experienced a number of Extreme Weather Events (EWEs) during recent years and a significant number of businesses were affected as a result. With the intensity and frequency of weather extremes predicted in the future, enhancing the re... Read More about Extreme weather events and construction SMEs : vulnerability, impacts and responses.

Molecular interactions between wheat and the insect herbivore sitobion avenae (cereal aphid); analysis of changes to the wheat proteome (2011)
Journal Article
Ferry, N., Stavroulakis, S., Guan, W., Davison, G., Bell, H., Weaver, R., …Gatehouse, A. (2011). Molecular interactions between wheat and the insect herbivore sitobion avenae (cereal aphid); analysis of changes to the wheat proteome. Proteomics, 11(10), 1985-2002. https://doi.org/10.1002/pmic.200900801

Aphids are major insect pests of cereal crops, acting as virus vectors as well as causing direct damage. The responses of wheat to infestation by cereal aphid (Sitobion avenae) were investigated in a proteomic analysis. Approximately, 500 protein spo...

Past, present and future of information and knowledge sharing in the construction industry: Towards semantic service-based e-construction (2011)
Journal Article
Rezgui, Y., Boddy, S., Wetherill, M., & Cooper, G. (2011). Past, present and future of information and knowledge sharing in the construction industry: Towards semantic service-based e-construction. Computer-Aided Design, 43(5), 502-515. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cad.2009.06.005

The paper reviews product data technology initiatives in the construction sector and provides a synthesis of related ICT industry needs. A comparison between (a) the data centric characteristics of Product Data Technology (PDT) and (b) ontology with...

BIM adoption and implementation for architectural practices (2011)
Journal Article
Arayici, Y., Coates, S., Koskela, L., Kagioglou, M., Usher, C., & OReilly, K. (2011). BIM adoption and implementation for architectural practices. Structural survey, 29(1), 7-25. https://doi.org/10.1108/02630801111118377

Severe issues about data acquisition and management arise during the design creation and development due to complexity, uncertainty and ambiguity. BIM (Building Information Modelling) is a tool for a team based lean design approach towards improved a... Read More about BIM adoption and implementation for architectural practices.

P73 regulates cisplatin-induced apoptosis in ovarian cancer cells via a calcium/calpain-dependent mechanism (2011)
Journal Article
Al-Bahlani, S., Fraser, M., Wong, A., Sayan, B., Bergeron, R., Melino, G., & Tsang, B. (2011). P73 regulates cisplatin-induced apoptosis in ovarian cancer cells via a calcium/calpain-dependent mechanism. Oncogene, 30, https://doi.org/10.1038/onc.2011.134

P73 is important in drug-induced apoptosis in some cancer cells, yet its role in the regulation of chemosensitivity in ovarian cancer (OVCA) is poorly understood. Furthermore, if and how the deregulation of p73-mediated apoptosis confers resistance t...

Quantum efficiency of Nd3+-doped glasses under sunlight excitation (2011)
Journal Article
Suzuki, T., Kawai, H., Nasu, H., Hughes, M., Ohishi, Y., Mizuno, S., …Hasegawa, K. (2011). Quantum efficiency of Nd3+-doped glasses under sunlight excitation. Optical Materials, 33(12), 1952-1957. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.optmat.2011.03.045

The internal quantum efficiencies under sunlight and laser excitation were measured directly by an integrating sphere method for tellurite, borosilicate and fluoride glasses. The radiative quantum efficiency was also obtained by Judd–Ofelt analysis.... Read More about Quantum efficiency of Nd3+-doped glasses under sunlight excitation.

Spectroscopic properties of Er doped and Er, Nd codoped fluoride glasses under simulated sunlight illumination (2011)
Journal Article
under simulated sunlight illumination. Optical Materials, 33(12), 1958-1963. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.optmat.2011.03.041

We investigated the fluorescence characteristics of Er codoped Nd doped ZBLAN glasses proposed for solar pumped fiber laser (SPFL) under simulated sunlight. Er is used as a sensitizer because it absorbs a part of the ultraviolet and visible light whe...
