Galloping analysis of a stay cable with an attached viscous damper considering complex modes (2017)
Journal Article
Nguyen, C., & Macdonald, J. (2018). Galloping analysis of a stay cable with an attached viscous damper considering complex modes. Journal of Engineering Mechanics, 144(2), 04017175. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28asce%29em.1943-7889.0001403

The use of viscous dampers to mitigate cable vibrations on cable-stayed bridges is very popular. A viscous damper attached to a stay cable results in complex mode shapes. Such complexity could affect the dynamic stability of the cable under wind acti... Read More about Galloping analysis of a stay cable with an attached viscous damper considering complex modes.

The concept of digital health innovation ecosystems is an emerging body of literature which suggests that components of digital health, innovation and digital ecosystems are important in the administration and delivery of healthcare services. The cur... Read More about Identifying essential components of a digital health innovation ecosystem for the Namibian context: Findings from a Delphi study.

Environmental DNA reveals tropical shark diversity in contrasting levels of anthropogenic impact (2017)
Journal Article
Bakker, J., Wangensteen, O., Chapman, D., Boussarie, G., Boudo, D., Guttridge, T., …Mariani, S. (2017). Environmental DNA reveals tropical shark diversity in contrasting levels of anthropogenic impact. Scientific reports, 7, No. 16886. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-017-17150-2

Sharks are charismatic predators that play a key role in most marine food webs. Their demonstrated vulnerability to exploitation has recently turned them into flagship species in ocean conservation. Yet, the assessment and monitoring of the distribut... Read More about Environmental DNA reveals tropical shark diversity in contrasting levels of anthropogenic impact.

The UK Public Services (Social Value) Act 2012 mandates public sector construction clients to prioritise the resolution of social challenges through procurement. Accordingly, clients are increasingly committing to delivering on social value through c... Read More about Achieving social value through construction frameworks : the effect of client attributes.

Biodiversity defrosted : unveiling non-compliant fish trade in ethnic food stores (2017)
Journal Article
