Stefan blowing, navier slip and radiation effects on thermo-solutal convection from a spinning cone in an anisotropic porous medium (2016)
Journal Article
Uddin, M., Beg, O., & Beg, E. (2016). Stefan blowing, navier slip and radiation effects on thermo-solutal convection from a spinning cone in an anisotropic porous medium. Journal of Porous Media, 19(7), 617-633. https://doi.org/10.1615/JPorMedia.v19.i7.40

Thermal radiation features in many high temperature materials processing operations. To evaluate the influence of radiative flux on spin coating systems, we consider herein the thermo-solutal (coupled heat and mass transfer) in steady laminar boundar...

The social life of data (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Ochu, E. (2016, August). The social life of data. Presented at The Repository Fringe, Edinburgh, UK

Citizen science is a participatory research practice whereby members of the public contribute to research through sensing, collecting and analysing data. Often citizen science is facilitated by the internet and digital technology including apps and w... Read More about The social life of data.

Coastal zone adaptation in Trinidad and Tobago : a review of literature (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Johnson, C., & Kulatunga, U. (2016, July). Coastal zone adaptation in Trinidad and Tobago : a review of literature. Presented at The 5th World Construction Symposium 2016, Sri Lanka

Empirical evidence supports that anthropogenic activities have brought about significant changes in our climate. In the instance of Small Island Developing States (SIDS) there is a potentially significant impact from the effects of climate change as...

Re-thinking post-contract cost controlling techniques in the Nigerian construction industry (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Omotayo, T., & Kulatunga, U. (2016, July). Re-thinking post-contract cost controlling techniques in the Nigerian construction industry. Presented at The 5th World Construction Symposium 2016, Sri Lanka

The challenges of cost and time overruns, construction disputes and client dissatisfaction have plagued the construction industry in Nigeria. This may be as a result of the approaches used in monitoring construction costs. The execution phase of a co...

Oxidative stress and breast cancer biomarkers : the case of the cytochrome P450 2E1 (2016)
Journal Article
Singh, S., Rajendran, R., Kuroda, K., Isogai, E., Krstic-Demonacos, M., & Demonacos, C. (2016). Oxidative stress and breast cancer biomarkers : the case of the cytochrome P450 2E1. Journal of Cancer Metastasis and Treatment, 2, 268-276. https://doi.org/10.20517/2394-4722.2016.42

Aim: The aim of the study is to investigate the impact of the cytochrome P450 2E1, which is the most efficient CYP450 family
member in generating reactive oxygen species (ROS), on cellular energy metabolism of breast cancer cells and therefore the... Read More about Oxidative stress and breast cancer biomarkers : the case of the cytochrome P450 2E1.

Monitoring invasive pathogens in plant nurseries for early-detection and to minimise the probability of escape (2016)
Journal Article
Alonso Chavez, V., Parnell, S., & Van Den Bosch, F. (2016). Monitoring invasive pathogens in plant nurseries for early-detection and to minimise the probability of escape. Journal of Theoretical Biology, 407, 290-302. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtbi.2016.07.041

The global increase in the movement of plant products in recent years has triggered an increase in the number of introduced plant pathogens. Plant nurseries importing material from abroad may play an important role in the introduction and spread of d...

Flow-compacted deformations coupled with thermo-chemically induced distortions in manufacturing of thick unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced plastics composites (2016)
Journal Article
Ammasai Sengodan, G., Joshi, S., & Chen, Z. (2016). Flow-compacted deformations coupled with thermo-chemically induced distortions in manufacturing of thick unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced plastics composites. Journal of Composite Materials, 50(24), https://doi.org/10.1177/0021998315618455

A novel technique to predict the manufacturing process-induced distortions and deformations in thick unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced plastics laminates is detailed in this article. An integrated numerical model is developed to account for non-...
