An context-aware management and control mechanism in a mobile ad-hoc environment (2012)
Journal Article
Liu, Q., Linge, N., Wang, J., Ji, S., & Ma, T. (2012). An context-aware management and control mechanism in a mobile ad-hoc environment. International journal of grid and distributed computing (Print. 2008), 5(4), 21-32

Complete integration and interaction of network objects can be achieved in a mobile adhoc environment. Yet, the dynamic nature of free movement and interaction among these objects also brings challenges on information representation, processing and c...

Residence time investigation in a co-axial dielectric barrier discharge reactor (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Babaie, M., Talebizadeh, P., Saha, S., Rahimzadeh, H., Zare, F., & Brown, R. (2012, November). Residence time investigation in a co-axial dielectric barrier discharge reactor. Presented at 4th International Conference on Computational Methods, Crowne Plaza, Gold Coast, Australia

The residence time distribution (RTD) is a crucial parameter when treating engine exhaust emissions with a Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) reactor. In this paper, the residence time of such a reactor is investigated using a finite element based so...

Using environmental enrichment to reduce the expression of abnormal behaviours in Greater rhea Rhea americana at Belo Horizonte Zoo (2012)
Journal Article
de Azevedo, C., Lima, M., Cipreste, C., Young, R., & Rodrigues, M. (2013). Using environmental enrichment to reduce the expression of abnormal behaviours in Greater rhea Rhea americana at Belo Horizonte Zoo. International Zoo Yearbook, 47(1), 163-170. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1748-1090.2012.00195.x

Animals kept by zoos may express abnormal behaviours that are indicators of poor welfare. Environmental enrichment is a technique of providing items to animals that stimulate the expression of normal behaviours. The aim of this study was to evaluate...

Red mud as a carbon sink : variability, affecting factors and environmental significance (2012)
Journal Article
Si, C., Ma, Y., & Lin, C. (2012). Red mud as a carbon sink : variability, affecting factors and environmental significance. Journal of Hazardous Materials, 245, 54-59. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhazmat.2012.11.024

The capacity of red mud to sequester CO2 varied markedly due to differences in bauxite type, processing
and disposal methods. Calcium carbonates were the dominant mineral phases responsible for the carbon
sequestration in the investigated red mud t... Read More about Red mud as a carbon sink : variability, affecting factors and environmental significance.

Localisation of elevated virtual sources in higher order ambisonic sound fields (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Power, P., Davies, W., Hirst, J., & Dunn, C. (2012, November). Localisation of elevated virtual sources in higher order ambisonic sound fields. Presented at Reproduced Sound, Brighton

Ambisonics allows the reproduction of 3D sound-fields. Higher-order Ambisonics provides improved resolution, and the promise of enhanced localisation at the expense of higher channel counts, and increased broadcast bandwidth, and storage requirements...

Many species in social groups make use of readily available, socially provided information for behaviours including predator avoidance, mate choice and foraging. Not only are actions imitated, but they may also be reapplied in variable future situati...

Roadmap for implementation of BIM in the UK construction industry (2012)
Journal Article
Khosrowshahi, F., & Arayici, Y. (2012). Roadmap for implementation of BIM in the UK construction industry. Engineering, Construction and Architectural Management, 19(6), 610-635. https://doi.org/10.1108/09699981211277531

BIM implementation is a major change management task, involving diversity of risk areas. The identification of the challenges and barriers is therefore an imperative precondition of this change process. This paper aims to diagnose UK’s construction i...
