Disruption : a new component in the track inspection schedule (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Osman, M., Kaewunruen, S., An, M., & Dindar, S. (2016, August). Disruption : a new component in the track inspection schedule. Presented at 2016 IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Rail Transportation (ICIRT), Birmingham, UK

Disruptions can occur during the execution of any schedule or plan. Both minor and major disruptions must be handled properly, because they have the potential to cause deviation from the original schedule's main goals. In rail track inspection schedu...

Review of remediation practices regarding cadmium-enriched farmland soil with particular reference to China (2016)
Journal Article
Tang, X., Li, Q., Wu, M., Lin, L., & Scholz, M. (2016). Review of remediation practices regarding cadmium-enriched farmland soil with particular reference to China. Journal of Environmental Management, 181(Oct 16), 646-662. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2016.08.043

Cadmium-enrichment of farmland soil greatly threatens the sustainable use of soil resources and the safe cultivation of grain. This review paper briefly introduces the status of farmland soil as well as grain, which are both often polluted by cadmium...

Long‐term administration of the mitochondria‐targeted antioxidant mitoquinone mesylate fails to attenuate age‐related oxidative damage or rescue the loss of muscle mass and function associated with aging of skeletal muscle (2016)
Journal Article

Age-related skeletal muscle dysfunction is the underlying cause of morbidity that affects up to half the population aged 80 and over. Considerable evidence indicates that oxidative damage and mitochondrial dysfunction contribute to the sarcopenic phe...

A numerical study of magnetohydrodynamic transport of nanofluids from a vertical stretching sheet with exponential temperature-dependent viscosity and buoyancy effects (2016)
Journal Article
Akbar, N., Tripathi, D., Khan, Z., & Beg, O. (2016). A numerical study of magnetohydrodynamic transport of nanofluids from a vertical stretching sheet with exponential temperature-dependent viscosity and buoyancy effects. Chemical Physics Letters, 661, 20-30. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cplett.2016.08.043

In this paper, a mathematical study is conducted of steady incompressible flow of a temperature-dependent viscous nanofluid from a vertical stretching sheet under applied external magnetic field and gravitational body force effects. The Reynolds expo...

Assessment of disproportionate collapse for multi-storey cross-laminated timber buildings (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Mpidid Bita, H., Currie, N., & Tannert, T. (2016, August). Assessment of disproportionate collapse for multi-storey cross-laminated timber buildings. Presented at World Conference on TImber Engineering, Vienna, Austria

This paper investigates the risk of disproportionate collapse following extreme loading events. The methodology mimics a sudden removal of a loadbearing wall of a twelve - storey CLT building. The ductility-demand from the dynamic simulation is check... Read More about Assessment of disproportionate collapse for multi-storey cross-laminated timber buildings.

Soundscape perception analysis using soundscape simulator (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Sudarsono, A., Lam, Y., & Davies, W. (2016, August). Soundscape perception analysis using soundscape simulator. Presented at Internoise 2016, Hamburg, Germany

Soundscape perception based on soundscape dimensions was investigated using a soundscape simulator. A soundscape simulator is a system to design a soundscape by controlling the parameters of sound objects (both background and event sound), allowing t...

A novel role for small molecule glycomimetics in the protection against lipid-induced endothelial dysfunction : Involvement of Akt/eNOS and Nrf2/ARE signaling (2016)
Journal Article

Background: Glycomimetics are a diverse array of saccharide-inspired compounds, designed to mimic the bioactive
functions of glycosaminoglycans. Therefore, glycomimetics represent a unique source of novel therapies to
target aberrant signaling and... Read More about A novel role for small molecule glycomimetics in the protection against lipid-induced endothelial dysfunction : Involvement of Akt/eNOS and Nrf2/ARE signaling.

On the CO2 and noise emissions forecast in future aviation scenarios in the UK (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Torija Martinez, A., Self, R., & Flindell, I. (2016, August). On the CO2 and noise emissions forecast in future aviation scenarios in the UK. Presented at INTER-NOISE 2016 - 45th International Congress and Exposition on Noise Control Engineering: Towards a Quieter Future, Hamburg, Germany

Aircraft operations have a significant impact on local air quality, climate change, fuel consumption and noise around airports. In order to reach emission targets set by aviation agencies (e.g. ACARE), to reduce environmental impact and to ensure a s...
