Measuring semantic similarity between words using lexical knowledge and neural networks (2002)
Book Chapter
Li, Y., Bandar, Z., & Mclean, D. (2002). Measuring semantic similarity between words using lexical knowledge and neural networks. In H. Yin, N. Allinson, R. Freeman, J. Keane, & S. Hubbard (Eds.), Intelligent Data Engineering and Automated Learning — IDEAL 2002 : Third International Conference Manchester, UK, August 12–14, 2002 Proceedings (111-116). Springer Berlin Heidelberg. https://doi.org/10.1007/3-540-45675-9_19

This paper investigates the determination of semantic similarity by the incorporation of structural semantic knowledge from a lexical database and the learning ability of neural networks. The lexical database is assumed to be organised in a hierarchi... Read More about Measuring semantic similarity between words using lexical knowledge and neural networks.

Which are the wastes of construction? (2002)
Presentation / Conference
Koskela, L., Bølviken, T., & Rooke, J. (2002, July). Which are the wastes of construction?. Presented at The 21st Annual Conference of the International Group for Lean Construction., Fortaleza, Brazil

In the Toyota Production System, the seven wastes presented by Ohno have provided understanding on the foundations of production management and guidance for action for more than half a century. This list has been widely used also when the Toyota Prod... Read More about Which are the wastes of construction?.

A computational study of photoisomerization in Al3O3- ­clusters (2002)
Journal Article
Cui, X., Morrison, I., & Han, J. (2002). A computational study of photoisomerization in Al3O3- ­clusters. Journal of Chemical Physics, 117(3), 1077-1084. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.1484387

Ab initio calculations are employed to understand the photoisomerization process in small Al3O3- clusters. This process is the first example of a photoinduced isomerization observed in an anion cluster gas-phase system. Potential energy surfaces for...

PFI/DBFO : roads to the future? Do PFI/DBFO schemes promote good quality performance? (2002)
Journal Article
Eaton, D., O'Connor, C., & Turner, A. (2002). PFI/DBFO : roads to the future? Do PFI/DBFO schemes promote good quality performance?

This article presents an in-depth analysis of the Private Finance Initiative (PFI) procurement system for the construction of a major highway works under the principles of design, build, finance, and operate (DBFO). Its purpose is to determine whethe... Read More about PFI/DBFO : roads to the future? Do PFI/DBFO schemes promote good quality performance?.
