Journal Article
St Clair, R., Hardman, M., Armitage, R., & Sherriff, G. (2020). Urban agriculture in shared spaces : the difficulties with collaboration in an age of austerity. Urban Studies, 57(2), 350-365. https://doi.org/10.1177/0042098019832486

The expanding critical literature on Urban Agriculture (UA) makes links between the withdrawal of state services and the institutionalisation of volunteering, while observing that challenging funding landscapes can foster competitive environments be...

The effect of ground rent and unexpired lease term on property values in Ghana (2019)
Journal Article
Gyau, K., & Gyamfi-Yeboah, F. (2019). The effect of ground rent and unexpired lease term on property values in Ghana. International Journal of Housing Markets and Analysis, 12(3), 504-524. https://doi.org/10.1108/IJHMA-05-2018-0033

Purpose: Although several factors influence property value determination depending on the market, relevant studies in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) often fail to analyse the impact of factors, such as unexpired term of leasehold interest and ground...

Impacts of food-based enrichment on behaviour and physiology of male greater rheas (Rhea Americana, Rheidae, Aves) (2019)
Journal Article
Lima, M., de Azevedo, C., Young, R., & Viau, P. (2019). Impacts of food-based enrichment on behaviour and physiology of male greater rheas (Rhea Americana, Rheidae, Aves). Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 59, https://doi.org/10.11606/1807-0205/2019.59.11

Distress can be defined as a biological response of an individual to long-term threats to its homeostasis and it should be avoided from an animal welfare perspective. High levels of stress hormones and the expression of abnormal behaviours are respon...

Synthesis and analysis of Fulleroid-like deployable Archimedean mechanisms based on an overconstrained eight-bar linkage (2019)
Journal Article
Xiu, H., Wang, K., Xu, T., Wei, G., & Ren, L. (2019). Synthesis and analysis of Fulleroid-like deployable Archimedean mechanisms based on an overconstrained eight-bar linkage. Mechanism and Machine Theory, 137(7), 476-508. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mechmachtheory.2019.03.004

This paper presents a novel intuitive synthesis approach for constructing Fulleroid-like Archimedean DPMs based on a Sarrus-like overconstrained spatial eight-bar linkage. Firstly, structure and the associated foundations of the eight-bar linkage are...

Machine learning and autonomous system for human gait analysis based on walk speed (2019)
Thesis
Elkurdi, A. Machine learning and autonomous system for human gait analysis based on walk speed. (Thesis). University of Salford

The quality of life and cost of care for elderly people varies dramatically between those living independently and those receiving acute or long-term care, which takes place at home, in residential care or in hospital. The common aim of national heal... Read More about Machine learning and autonomous system for human gait analysis based on walk speed.

Quantitative chemical analysis of perovskite deposition using spin coating (2019)
Journal Article

Re-scripting the streets in the sky : shifts in the typology of a listed building in Park Hill, Sheffield (2019)
Journal Article
Moustaka, A. (2019). Re-scripting the streets in the sky : shifts in the typology of a listed building in Park Hill, Sheffield

Inspired by Le Corbusier’s ideas for vertical living, the concept of “Streets in the Sky” was created in the UK in the 1950’s to describe large-scale circulation at a level above the ground in high-rise buildings. The term was originally coined by th... Read More about Re-scripting the streets in the sky : shifts in the typology of a listed building in Park Hill, Sheffield.

Response of soil–foundation–structure interaction of tall building (frame-wall) structural system under seismic effect (2019)
Thesis
Qaftan, O. (in press). Response of soil–foundation–structure interaction of tall building (frame-wall) structural system under seismic effect. (Thesis). University of Salford

The unavailability of standards or validated analysis techniques of estimating the soil -foundation-structure interaction (SFSI) lead to either simplifying or ignoring this interaction. The structural and geotechnical engineers consider the foundatio...
