Exploring the effects of consumers’ trust : a predictive model for satisfying buyers’ expectations based on sellers’ behaviour in the marketplace (2019)
Thesis
AlSheikh, S. Exploring the effects of consumers’ trust : a predictive model for satisfying buyers’ expectations based on sellers’ behaviour in the marketplace. (Thesis). University of Salford

In recent years, Consumer-to-Consumer (C2C) marketplaces have become very popular among Internet users. However, compared to traditional Business-to-Consumer (B2C) stores, most modern C2C marketplaces are reported to be associated with stronger neg...

A methodology for ontology reuse : the case of the abdominal ultrasound ontology (2019)
Journal Article
Zulkarnain, N., & Meziane, F. (2019). A methodology for ontology reuse : the case of the abdominal ultrasound ontology. International Journal of Intelligent Information Technologies, 15(4), 1-21. https://doi.org/10.4018/IJIIT.2019100101

There are abundance of existing biomedical ontologies such as the National Cancer Institute Thesaurus (NCIT), the Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA) and the Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine-Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT). Implementing these ontol... Read More about A methodology for ontology reuse : the case of the abdominal ultrasound ontology.

Complex associations between cross-kingdom microbial endophytes and host genotype in ash dieback disease dynamics (2019)
Journal Article
Griffiths, S., Galambao, M., Rowntree, J., Goodhead, I., Hall, J., O'Brien, D., …Antwis, R. (2020). Complex associations between cross-kingdom microbial endophytes and host genotype in ash dieback disease dynamics. Journal of Ecology, 108(1), 291-309. https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2745.13302

Tree pathogens are a major threat to forest ecosystems. Conservation management strategies can exploit natural mechanisms of resistance, such as tree genotype and host‐associated microbial communities. However, fungal and bacterial communities are ra...

Melting curve and phase diagram of vanadium under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions (2019)
Journal Article
Errandonea, D., Macleod, S., Burakovsky, L., Santamaria-Perez, D., Proctor, J., Cynn, H., & Mezouar, M. (2019). Melting curve and phase diagram of vanadium under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions. Physical Review B, 100(9), https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.100.094111

We report a combined experimental and theoretical study of the melting curve and the structural behavior of vanadium under extreme pressure and temperature. We performed powder x-ray diffraction experiments up to 120 GPa and 4000 K, determining th...

Applying design science approach to architectural design development (2019)
Journal Article
Aburamadan, R., & Trillo, C. (2020). Applying design science approach to architectural design development. Frontiers of Architectural Research, 9(1), 216-235. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foar.2019.07.08

Unlike research methods for social science and positivist sciences, those for architectural design lack a discipline- specific conceptual framework. Performative science aims at producing outcomes for future use and therefore needs a robust methodolo... Read More about Applying design science approach to architectural design development.

Pruning neural networks using multi-armed bandits (2019)
Journal Article
Ameen, S., & Vadera, S. (2020). Pruning neural networks using multi-armed bandits. Computer Journal, 63(7), 1099-1108. https://doi.org/10.1093/comjnl/bxz078

The successful application of deep learning has led to increasing expectations of their use in embedded systems. This in turn, has created the need to find ways of reducing the size of neural networks. Decreasing the size of a neural network requi...

Geographical location influences the composition of the gut microbiota in wild house mice (Mus musculus domesticus) at a fine spatial scale. (2019)
Journal Article
Goertz, S., de Menezes, A., Birtles, R., Fenn, J., Lowe, A., MacColl, A., …Taylor, C. (2019). Geographical location influences the composition of the gut microbiota in wild house mice (Mus musculus domesticus) at a fine spatial scale. PLoS ONE, 14(9), e0222501. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0222501

The composition of the mammalian gut microbiota can be influenced by a multitude of environmental variables such as diet and infections. Studies investigating the effect of these variables on gut microbiota composition often sample across multiple se...

Homotopy semi-numerical modeling of non-Newtonian nanofluid transport external to multiple geometries using a revised Buongiorno Model (2019)
Journal Article
Ray, A., Vasu, B., Beg, O., Gorla, R., & Murthy, P. (2019). Homotopy semi-numerical modeling of non-Newtonian nanofluid transport external to multiple geometries using a revised Buongiorno Model. Inventions, 4(4), https://doi.org/10.3390/inventions4040054

A semi-analytical solution for the convection of a power-law nanofluid external to three different geometries (i.e. cone, wedge and plate), subject to convective boundary condition is presented. A revised Buongiorno model is employed for the nanoflui...
