What demotivates homeowners to retrofit their houses: a systematic review (2024)
Conference Proceeding
Coates, P., Munir, M., & Panakaduwa, C. (2024). What demotivates homeowners to retrofit their houses: a systematic review.

The study identifies the factors that demotivate homeowners from retrofitting their houses. Retrofit is defined as improving the energy performance, ventilation or reducing carbon emission of a building. According to the statistics, the progress rat...

Transforming Housing Retrofit: The Potential Impact of Artificial Intelligence (2024)
Conference Proceeding
Panakaduwa, C., Coates, P., & Munir, M. (2024). Transforming Housing Retrofit: The Potential Impact of Artificial Intelligence.

80% of the housing stock by 2050 in the UK has already been built. Currently, the UK housing stock contributes 18% of the total UK emissions. Due to the legal requirement of the UK government to achieve net zero by 2050, the housing stock poses a con...

Bridging the Language Gap in FND Care: A Comparative Analysis of Neurologists and Psychologists (2024)
Presentation / Conference
Mashuk, M. S., Shumit, S., Yang, L., Daniela, D., Matthew, S., Lana, L., …Mohan Raj, R. (2024, July). Bridging the Language Gap in FND Care: A Comparative Analysis of Neurologists and Psychologists. Poster presented at 46th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, Disney's Coronado Springs, Orlando, Florida, USA

This study compares the communication in Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) care between neurologists and psychologists through VADER sentiment analysis and LDA topic modeling. It reveals a stark contrast in language use: neurologists prefer clin... Read More about Bridging the Language Gap in FND Care: A Comparative Analysis of Neurologists and Psychologists.

<abstract> <p>In this article, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is discussed, with an emphasis placed on the multidimensional nature of the disorder, which is anchored in genetic and neurological components. Identifying genes related to ASD... Read More about Integrating gene selection and deep learning for enhanced Autisms' disease prediction: a comparative study using microarray data.

Triaxial test of hydrated lime on the mechanical properties of hot mix asphalt concrete (2024)
Conference Proceeding
Al Ashaibi, A., Wang, Y., Albayati, A., Weekes, L., & Haynes, J. (2024). Triaxial test of hydrated lime on the mechanical properties of hot mix asphalt concrete.

This paper reports on the experimental study, which conducted a series of triaxial tests for the asphalt concrete using hydrated lime as a mineral additive. Three HMA mixes, prepared by the specification for wearing, levelling and base layers, were s...

Large-bodied gastric spirurids (Nematoda, Spirurida) predict structure in the downstream gastrointestinal helminth community of wild spiny mice (Acomys dimidiatus) (2024)
Journal Article
Behnke, J., Jackson, J., Gilbert, F., Mohallal, E., & Bajer, A. (in press). Large-bodied gastric spirurids (Nematoda, Spirurida) predict structure in the downstream gastrointestinal helminth community of wild spiny mice (Acomys dimidiatus). Parasitology,

The dominant helminths infecting spiny mice (Acomys dimidiatus) in the montane wadis of the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt are spirurid nematodes, notably Protospirura muricola and Mastophorus muris. Both are relatively large robust stomach worms that accu...

Scaling Laws in Progressive Collapse Studies (2024)
Conference Proceeding
Elkady, N., Augusthus-Nelson, L., & Weekes, L. (in press). Scaling Laws in Progressive Collapse Studies.

This state-of-the-art study introduces an innovative approach employing scaling laws to facilitate the utilisation of small-scale models in progressive collapse experimentation. It evaluates the quasi-static behaviour of scaled beam-column sub-assemb... Read More about Scaling Laws in Progressive Collapse Studies.

Climate Impact on Dissolved Organic Carbon Composition in a North‐Temperate Peatland and Recipient Surface Water (2024)
Journal Article
Berggren, M., Salimi, S., Sparkes, B., & Scholz, M. (2024). Climate Impact on Dissolved Organic Carbon Composition in a North‐Temperate Peatland and Recipient Surface Water. Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, 129(6), e2023JG007807. https://doi.org/10.1029/2023jg007807

Climate may regulate dissolved organic carbon (DOC) composition across the peat‐water interface, but experimental evidence is scarce. We manipulated the climate in peatland and recipient surface water mesocosms to reflect four different climate warmi...
