Spontaneous spatial fractal pattern formation in dispersive systems (2017)
Journal Article
Huang, J., Christian, J., & McDonald, G. (2017). Spontaneous spatial fractal pattern formation in dispersive systems. Journal of Nonlinear Optical Physics and Materials, 26(01), https://doi.org/10.1142/S0218863517500096

We report spontaneous spatial optical fractal patterns in a ring cavity containing a thin slice of diffusive Kerr-type material. The Turing threshold instability condition is derived through linear analysis, and static patterns are found to be descri...

Likewise it is reported, lack of ICT infrastructures is one o... Read More about Current state on internet growth and usage in Saudi Arabia and its ability to support e-commerce development.

A methodology to determine the significance of criteria for prioritizing road stretches for action against traffic noise,Una metodología para determinar la importancia de los criterios para priorizar las actuaciones contra el ruido del tráfico de carreteras (2017)
Journal Article
Ruiz-Padillo, A., Torija, A. J., Ramos-Ridao, Á., & Ruiz, D. P. (2017). A methodology to determine the significance of criteria for prioritizing road stretches for action against traffic noise,Una metodología para determinar la importancia de los criterios para priorizar las actuaciones contra el ruido del tráfico de carreteras. Carreteras (Madrid), 211,

Road traffic noise is one of the main environmental impacts of road infrastructures, so that efficient solutions are required for reducing noise exposure. Analyzing the noise action plans published in Spain it is observed a widespread lack of methodo...

Cooling effect of direct green façades during hot summer days : an observational study in Nanjing, China using TIR and 3DPC data (2017)
Journal Article
Yin, H., Kong, F., Middel, A., Xu, H., & James, P. (2017). Cooling effect of direct green façades during hot summer days : an observational study in Nanjing, China using TIR and 3DPC data. Building and Environment, 116, 195-206. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2017.02.020

Thermal regulation is a key ecosystem service provided by direct green façades (DGFs), as vegetated walls absorb short wave radiation, reduce solar re-radiation from hard surfaces, and provide cooling due to shading and evapotranspiration. Few studie... Read More about Cooling effect of direct green façades during hot summer days : an observational study in Nanjing, China using TIR and 3DPC data.
