A study of the transfer of tacit knowledge by a monitored tutelage programme for quantity surveyors (2020)
Thesis
Boylan, A. A study of the transfer of tacit knowledge by a monitored tutelage programme for quantity surveyors. (Thesis). University of Salford

This thesis is about how tacit knowledge may be transferred. Its aim is to develop a coaching and
mentoring programme for Quantity Surveyors. The literature synthesis includes a discussion of
tacit and explicit knowledge and a review of knowledge c... Read More about A study of the transfer of tacit knowledge by a monitored tutelage programme for quantity surveyors.

Developing a framework for robust safety management in Ghana’s upstream oil and gas industry (2020)
Thesis
Horbah, F. Developing a framework for robust safety management in Ghana’s upstream oil and gas industry. (Thesis). University of Salford

Ghana, as an emerging oil and gas producing country, is expected to have an improved, or a new approach to manage safety to prevent major hazard incidents in the industry. Given the country’s experience of poor risk governance regimes before the emer... Read More about Developing a framework for robust safety management in Ghana’s upstream oil and gas industry.

Impact of storage time on characteristics of synthetic greywater for two different pollutant strengths to be treated or recycled (2020)
Journal Article

Storage of greywater is controversial for environmental and health reasons. Artificial greywater was assessed after 2 and 7 days of storage time. Two different greywater pollutant strengths were statistically compared at each storage time. A negative...

Non-across-wind galloping of a square-section cylinder (2020)
Journal Article
Nguyen, C., Macdonald, J., & Cammelli, S. (2020). Non-across-wind galloping of a square-section cylinder. Meccanica, 55(6), 1333-1345. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11012-020-01166-6

This paper presents new insights on the galloping instability phenomenon of square-section prisms. The role of the orientation of the structural axes on the galloping response is studied through wind tunnel tests and quasi-steady theory. A new series...

The creation of an assessment tool for the analysis of two forms of heat damage in animal hair (2020)
Journal Article
Wilkinson, L., Bailey, J. W., & Gwinnett, C. (2020). The creation of an assessment tool for the analysis of two forms of heat damage in animal hair. Forensic Science International, 312, Article 110265. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.forsciint.2020.110265

Animal cruelty cases can involve a variety of mistreatment to domestic animals. A common source of abuse is the use of heat sources, such as ovens, hot surfaces and microwaves. Analysis of damage to skin by a veterinarian is a key aspect of these inv... Read More about The creation of an assessment tool for the analysis of two forms of heat damage in animal hair.

Effects of thermophysical properties on heat transfer at the interface of two immisicible fluids in a vertical duct: numerical study (2020)
Journal Article
Beg, O., & Umavathi, J. (2020). Effects of thermophysical properties on heat transfer at the interface of two immisicible fluids in a vertical duct: numerical study. International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, 154, 119613. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijheatmasstransfer.2020.119613

A comprehensive theoretical and numerical investigation is presented for two fluids with different physical
properties. The effects of buoyancy and viscous heating are addressed. Non-isothermal wall conditions are
applied at the walls. The front an... Read More about Effects of thermophysical properties on heat transfer at the interface of two immisicible fluids in a vertical duct: numerical study.

Human African trypanosomiasis : the current situation in endemic regions and the risks for non-endemic regions from imported cases (2020)
Journal Article
Gao, J., Qian, Z., Hide, G., Lai, D., Lun, Z., & Wu, Z. (2020). Human African trypanosomiasis : the current situation in endemic regions and the risks for non-endemic regions from imported cases. Parasitology, 147(9), 922-931. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0031182020000645

Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) is caused by Trypanosoma brucei
gambiense and T. b. rhodesiense and caused devastating epidemics during the 20th
century. Due to effective control programs implemented in the last two decades, the
number of repo... Read More about Human African trypanosomiasis : the current situation in endemic regions and the risks for non-endemic regions from imported cases.

Outdoor thermal comfort assessment : a review on thermal comfort research in Australia (2020)
Journal Article

Outdoor thermal comfort could significantly affect the usage and success of urban places. Accordingly, it is recommended to be considered in both urban design and planning projects.
Urbanisation has been recognised as a major factor in elevated dai... Read More about Outdoor thermal comfort assessment : a review on thermal comfort research in Australia.

The characterization of chloride effect on concrete water sorption and its application in the modelling of concrete conditions in tidal zones (2020)
Journal Article

Concrete exposed to cyclic wetting and drying in salty water conditions is thought to be subjected to an accelerated ingress of chloride from the outside environment, and prone to a worsening deterioration process inside. Additionally, there is an os... Read More about The characterization of chloride effect on concrete water sorption and its application in the modelling of concrete conditions in tidal zones.
