Investigating homeowners' interest in property‐level flood protection (2010)
Journal Article
Kazmierczak, A., & Bichard, E. (2010). Investigating homeowners' interest in property‐level flood protection. International Journal of Disaster Resilience in the Built Environment, 1(2), 157-172. https://doi.org/10.1108/17595901011056622

Purpose – The inevitability of climate change and its consequences brings on the need to find new ways of adapting to extreme events, such as floods. One immediate measure would be to make physical improvements to houses to either prevent their inund... Read More about Investigating homeowners' interest in property‐level flood protection.

Intelligent and adaptive acoustics in buildings via blind room acoustic parameter estimation (2010)
Book Chapter
Li, F. (2010). Intelligent and adaptive acoustics in buildings via blind room acoustic parameter estimation. In 2010 2nd International Conference on Computer Engineering and Technology (V3-663). IEEE. https://doi.org/10.1109/ICCET.2010.5485761

From an architectural acoustics perspective multi-purpose enclosures in buildings with variable and adaptive acoustics are difficult to achieve. However, such spaces may become more feasible using amplified sound with the aid of signal processing and...

Sound-based multimodal person identification from signature and voice (2010)
Book Chapter
Li, F. (2010). Sound-based multimodal person identification from signature and voice. In Internet Monitoring and Protection (ICIMP), 2010 Fifth International Conference on 9-15 May 2010 (84-88). IEEE. https://doi.org/10.1109/ICIMP.2010.18

Person identification as a security means has a variety of important applications. Many techniques and automated systems have been developed over the past few decades; each has its own advantages and limitations. There are often trade-offs amongst re...

Phase phenomena in supported lipid films under varying electric potential (2010)
Journal Article
Brukhno, A., Akinshina, A., Coldrick, Z., Nelson, A., & Auer, S. (2011). Phase phenomena in supported lipid films under varying electric potential. Soft Matter, 7(3), 1006-1017. https://doi.org/10.1039/C0SM00724B

We model cyclic voltammetry experiments on supported lipid films where a non-trivial dependence of the capacitance on the applied voltage is observed. Previously, based on a mean-field treatment of the Flory–Huggins type, under the assumption of stro... Read More about Phase phenomena in supported lipid films under varying electric potential.

At the edge of the city: reinhabiting public space toward the recovery of Beirut’s Horsh Al-Sanawbar (2010)
Book
Shayya, F. (2010). At the edge of the city: reinhabiting public space toward the recovery of Beirut’s Horsh Al-Sanawbar. Discursive Formations. https://doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.29369.98406

In 1992, the Municipality of Beirut and the Regional Council of Île-de-France signed a cooperation agreement that included funding the redesign of Beirut’s Park ‘Horsh Al-Sanawbar’ through a design competition. Since then, the park has been closed to... Read More about At the edge of the city: reinhabiting public space toward the recovery of Beirut’s Horsh Al-Sanawbar.
