de Azevedo, C., Lima, M., da Silva, V., Young, R., & Rodrigues, M. (2012). Visitor influence on the behavior of captive greater rheas (Rhea americana, Rheidae Aves). Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science, 15(2), https://doi.org/10.1080/10888705.2012.624895

Visitors can affect and reduce the welfare of nonhuman animals. The Belo Horizonte Zoo, Brazil, had a group of greater rheas intended for reintroduction to the wild. Because this group received public visitation, evaluating its effect on the birds' b... Read More about Visitor influence on the behavior of captive greater rheas (Rhea americana, Rheidae Aves).

Our ultimate aim was to achieve commodity telepresence systems capable of communicating both what someone looks like and what, within the technology joined space, they are looking at. Towards this we have implemented a previously distributed approach... Read More about Parallel processing for real-time 3D reconstruction from video streams.

Effect of road narrowing on junction capacity using microsimulation (2012)
Journal Article
Yousif, S., Alterawi, M., & Henson, R. (2013). Effect of road narrowing on junction capacity using microsimulation. Journal of Transportation Engineering, 139(6), 574-584. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28ASCE%29TE.1943-5436.0000534

Traffic-calming measures have been widely used in urban areas, aiming sometimes to reduce vehicle flow rates but primarily to reduce speed and, hence, the number and severity of traffic accidents. The one-way priority working road narrowing (throttle... Read More about Effect of road narrowing on junction capacity using microsimulation.

Identification of coupling parameters between shear strength behaviour of compacted soils and chemical's effects with an evolutionary-based data mining technique (2012)
Journal Article
Cuisinier, O., Javadi, A. A., Ahangar-Asr, A., & Masrouri, F. (2013). Identification of coupling parameters between shear strength behaviour of compacted soils and chemical's effects with an evolutionary-based data mining technique. Computers and Geotechnics, 48, 107-116. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compgeo.2012.10.005

When subjected to a very high-pH, most of the soil minerals undergo physico-chemical transformation. This could induce strong modifications of the shear strength behaviour of the soil. This issue is of high interest in the framework of the design of...

Drivers’ lane utilization for UK motorways (2012)
Journal Article
Yousif, S., Al-Obaedi, J., & Henson, R. (2013). Drivers’ lane utilization for UK motorways. Journal of Transportation Engineering, 139(5), 441-447. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28ASCE%29TE.1943-5436.0000531

Lane utilization represents how the rate of traffic flow is distributed among the available number of lanes in a given section. This utilization or split is affected by several factors including traffic flow rates as well as the presence and amount o... Read More about Drivers’ lane utilization for UK motorways.

Optimization of parameters for the quantitative surface-enhanced raman scattering detection of mephedrone using a fractional factorial design and a portable raman spectrometer (2012)
