A study of root causes of delays in the public-sector construction projects in Kuwait (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Al-Adwani, M., Mollasalehi, S., & Fleming, A. (2018, December). A study of root causes of delays in the public-sector construction projects in Kuwait. Presented at International Conference on Construction Futures ICCF, University of Wolverhampton, UK

After the Kuwait Government launched the 2035 vision of Kuwait, development of the construction industry became one of the priority themes of the country. However, the construction industry faces many problems such as delays, defects, cost overruns a...

Meltwater temperature in streams draining Alpine glaciers (2018)
Journal Article
Williamson, R., Entwistle, N., & Collins, D. (2018). Meltwater temperature in streams draining Alpine glaciers. Science of the Total Environment, 658(Mar 19), 777-786. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2018.12.215

Water temperature is of considerable importance with respect to lotic habitats. Water temperature influences physical, chemical and biological conditions within river environments and is, therefore, a key determiner of the health of a river. Climate...

Predicted distribution and habitat loss for the endangered black-faced black spider monkey Ateles chamek in the Amazon (2018)
Journal Article
Rabelo, R., Gonçalves, J., Silva, F., Rocha, D., Canale, G., Bernardo, C., & Boubli, J. (2020). Predicted distribution and habitat loss for the endangered black-faced black spider monkey Ateles chamek in the Amazon. Oryx, 54(5), 699-705. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0030605318000522

The rate of deforestation in the Amazon is increasing. Predictive models estimate that as a result of agricultural expansion 40% of these forests will be lost by 2050. As a consequence the habitat of forest-dwelling species such as the Endangered bla...

An improved interface temperature distribution in shallow hot mix asphalt patch repair using dynamic heating (2018)
Journal Article
Byzyka, J., Rahman, M., & Chamberlain, D. A. (2020). An improved interface temperature distribution in shallow hot mix asphalt patch repair using dynamic heating. International Journal of Pavement Engineering, 21(13), 1617-1625. https://doi.org/10.1080/10298436.2018.1559315

This study focuses on the issue of hot mix asphalt patch repairs, the performance of which is greatly reduced by repair edge disintegration. This is caused by low interface temperatures which result in poor repair bonding between fill material and ho...

Degrees of tenant isolation for cloud-hosted software services : a cross-case analysis (2018)
Journal Article
cross-case analysis. Journal of Cloud Computing: Advances, Systems and Applications, 7(22), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13677-018-0121-8

A challenge, when implementing multi-tenancy
in a cloud-hosted software service, is how to ensure that the
performance and resource consumption of one tenant does
not adversely affect other tenants. Software designers and
architects must achieve... Read More about Degrees of tenant isolation for cloud-hosted software services : a cross-case analysis.
