Social spacing of the montane lizard Tropidurus montanus (2017)
Journal Article
Galdino, C., Ventura, S., Lisboa, C., & Young, R. (2017). Social spacing of the montane lizard Tropidurus montanus. Herpetological journal, 27(4), 333-338

The way in which individuals use their surrounding space can be key to understanding species’ sociobiology. We studied the social spacing of the lizard Tropidurus montanus. Males were found to have larger home ranges than females. Male body size was... Read More about Social spacing of the montane lizard Tropidurus montanus.

From conventional to IT based visual management : a conceptual discussion for lean construction (2017)
Journal Article
Tezel, B., & Aziz, Z. (2017). From conventional to IT based visual management : a conceptual discussion for lean construction. Journal of Information Technology in Construction, 22, 220-246

Lean construction and construction automation are two of the important efforts to improve the performance of the construction industry. However, apart from a small number of scholarly articles and implementation prototypes, the lean and digital const...

Case studies in applying data mining for churn analysis (2017)
Journal Article
Lomax, S., & Vadera, S. (2017). Case studies in applying data mining for churn analysis. International Journal of Conceptual Structures and Smart Applications, 5(2), 22-33. https://doi.org/10.4018/ijcssa.2017070102

The advent of price and product comparison sites now makes it even more important to retain customers and identify those that might be at risk of leaving. The use of data mining methods has been widely advocated for predicting customer churn. This pa... Read More about Case studies in applying data mining for churn analysis.

Embedding life cycle costing in 5D BIM (2017)
Journal Article
Kehily, D., & Underwood, J. (2017). Embedding life cycle costing in 5D BIM. Journal of Information Technology in Construction, 22, 145-167

Life Cycle Costing (LCC) is the consideration of all ‘relevant’ costs and revenues associated with the acquisition and ownership of an asset. LCC has a number of relevant applications, these include project appraisal; facilities management; procureme... Read More about Embedding life cycle costing in 5D BIM.

Numerical solution of MHD slip flow of a nanofluid past a radiating plate with Newtonian heating : a lie group approach (2017)
Journal Article
Beg, O., Uddin, M., Sohail, A., & Ismail, A. (2017). Numerical solution of MHD slip flow of a nanofluid past a radiating plate with Newtonian heating : a lie group approach. Alexandria engineering journal : AEJ, 57(4), 2455-2464. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aej.2017.03.025

In this paper, we have examined the magnetohydrodynamic flow of a nanofluid past a radiating sheet. The Navier velocity slip, Newtonian heating and passively controlled wall boundary conditions are considered. The governing equations are reduced into...

A mathematical model for two dimensional steady laminar natural convective anisotropic slip boundary layer flows from a rotating vertical cone embedded in ethylene glycol bionanofluid is presented. The influence of Stefan blowing is also taken into a... Read More about Anisotropic slip magneto-bioconvection flow from a rotating cone to a nanofluid with Stefan Blowing effects.

The staged retrofit of a solid wall property under controlled conditions (2017)
Journal Article
controlled conditions. Energy and Buildings, 156, 250-257. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2017.09.033

Retrofit of hard to treat properties has been highlighted as a policy challenge to reduced energy consumption in
the UK. This study undertook an experimental staged retrofit of a pre-1919 UK solid wall property under
controlled conditions. The prop... Read More about The staged retrofit of a solid wall property under controlled conditions.

An abductive approach to qualitative built environment research : a viable system methodological exposé (2017)
Journal Article

Purpose
Qualitative researchers are often confronted with a dilemma of selecting an appropriate approach within which to situate their research. This has led to successive attempts by qualitative researchers in the built environment (BE) to combine...
