Renaturing a microclimate : the impact of greening a neighbourhood on indoor thermal comfort during a heatwave in Manchester, UK (2019)
Journal Article
Taleghani, M., Marshall, A., Fitton, R., & Swan, W. (2019). Renaturing a microclimate : the impact of greening a neighbourhood on indoor thermal comfort during a heatwave in Manchester, UK. Solar Energy, 182, 245-255. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.solener.2019.02.062

Higher air temperatures in large cities like Manchester, UK, reduce human thermal comfort. In this paper, the impact of land cover on microclimate, and consequently on indoor thermal comfort is studied. Through different stages, field measurements an...

Comparisons have been made between different bridge structural forms, base... Read More about Sustainability of bridge maintenance.

Diet in the driving seat: natural diet-immunity-microbiome interactions in wild fish (2019)
Journal Article
Friberg, I., Taylor, J., & Jackson, J. (2019). Diet in the driving seat: natural diet-immunity-microbiome interactions in wild fish. Frontiers in Immunology, 10(243), https://doi.org/10.3389/fimmu.2019.00243

Natural interactions between the diet, microbiome and immunity are largely unstudied. Here we employ wild three-spined sticklebacks as a model, combining field observations with complementary experimental manipulations of diet designed to mimic sea...

A hybrid intelligent agent for notification of users distracted by mobile phones in an urban environment (2019)
Presentation / Conference
Gelaim, T., Langer, G., Santos, E., Silveira, R., O'Hare, J., Kendrick, P., & Fazenda, B. (2019, February). A hybrid intelligent agent for notification of users distracted by mobile phones in an urban environment. Presented at 11th International Conference on Agents and Artificial Intelligence (ICAART), Prague, Czech Republic

Mobile devices are now ubiquitous in daily life and the number of activities that can be performed using them is continually growing. This implies increased attention being placed on the device and diverted away from events taking place in the surr...
