Energy performance and summer thermal comfort of traditional courtyard buildings in a desert climate (2019)
Journal Article
Zamani, Z., Heidari, S., Azmoodeh, M., & Taleghani, M. (2019). Energy performance and summer thermal comfort of traditional courtyard buildings in a desert climate. Environmental Progress and Sustainable Energy, 38(6), e13256. https://doi.org/10.1002/ep.13256

Courtyards have been traditionally used as a passive design strategy in desert climates. However, few studies have quantified the thermal performance of this building archetype. This paper explored the indoor and outdoor thermal conditions of a typic... Read More about Energy performance and summer thermal comfort of traditional courtyard buildings in a desert climate.

A framework of intra-organisational knowledge sharing practices in implementing BIM within the Malaysian construction industry (2019)
Thesis
Musa, S. (in press). A framework of intra-organisational knowledge sharing practices in implementing BIM within the Malaysian construction industry. (Thesis). University of Salford

The Malaysian construction industry has been urged by the government to implement BIM to become a stable, developed, and modernised country by the year 2020. In the Malaysian context, research has shown that BIM implementation is relatively low and i...

Analyzing the deformation of multilayered saturated sandy soils under large building foundation (2019)
Journal Article
Li, C., Xiu, Z., Ji, Y., Wang, F., & Chan, A. (2019). Analyzing the deformation of multilayered saturated sandy soils under large building foundation. KSCE Journal of Civil Engineering, 23, 3764-3776. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12205-019-0187-y

The generalized plasticity theory has been subject of much research in geomechanics. The Pastor-Zienkiewicz model and its modified versions are among these. For large foundations resting on multilayered soils the actual loading is often non-linear. I...

Acoustic Event Detection from Weakly Labeled Data Using Auditory Salience (2019)
Presentation / Conference
Podwinska, Z., Sobieraj, I., Fazenda, B., Davies, W., & Plumbley, M. (2019, May). Acoustic Event Detection from Weakly Labeled Data Using Auditory Salience. Presented at 2019 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP), Brighton, UK

Acoustic Event Detection (AED) is an important task of machine listening which, in recent years, has been addressed using common machine learning methods like Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) or deep learning. However, most of these approaches... Read More about Acoustic Event Detection from Weakly Labeled Data Using Auditory Salience.

Background adaptation for improved listening experience in broadcasting (2019)
Presentation / Conference
Tang, Y., Cox, T., Fazenda, B., Liu, Q., & Wang, W. (2019, May). Background adaptation for improved listening experience in broadcasting. Presented at 44th International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, ICASSP 2019, Brighton, UK

The intelligibility of speech in noise can be improved by modifying the speech. But with object-based audio, there is the possibility of altering the background sound while leaving the speech unaltered. This may prove a less intrusive approach, affor...

Generalisation in environmental sound classification : the ‘making sense of sounds’ data set and challenge (2019)
Presentation / Conference
Kroos, C., Bones, O., Cao, Y., Harris, L., Jackson, P., Davies, W., …Plumbley, M. (2019, May). Generalisation in environmental sound classification : the ‘making sense of sounds’ data set and challenge. Presented at 44th International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing (ICASSP 2019), Brighton, UK

Humans are able to identify a large number of environmental sounds and categorise them according to high-level semantic categories, e.g. urban sounds or music. They are also capable of generalising from past experience to new sounds when applying the...
