An Advanced Refurbishment Evaluation Methodology for Modernist Office Buildings (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Duran, O., & Lomas, K. J. (2021). An Advanced Refurbishment Evaluation Methodology for Modernist Office Buildings.

The energy used in non-domestic buildings accounts for 18 \% of the energy use in the UK. Modernist office buildings, typically defined as those built between 1945 and 1985, represent a promising sector for refurbishment and energy demand reduction....

A six-wheeled companion exploration robot with an adaptive climbing mechanism is proposed and released for the complicated terrain environment of planetary exploration. Benefiting from its three-rocker-arm structure, the robot can adapt to complex... Read More about Design and analysis of a six-wheeled companion robot with mechanical obstacle-overcoming adaptivity.

Tailored methods for mapping urban heat islands in Greater Cairo Region (2021)
Journal Article
Elmarakby, E., Khalifa, M., Elsahter, A., & Afifi, S. (2021). Tailored methods for mapping urban heat islands in Greater Cairo Region. Ain Shams Engineering Journal ASEJ / Ain Shams University, 13(2), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.asej.2021.06.030

Globally, there is a rapid development of urban heat island (UHI) detection tools, and their results can be accepted regardless of their accuracy in measuring the real impact of the phenomenon. In this study, we investigated various UHI measuring too... Read More about Tailored methods for mapping urban heat islands in Greater Cairo Region.

Why big brains? A comparison of models for both primate and carnivore brain size evolution (2021)
Journal Article
Chambers, H., Heldstab, S., & O'Hara, S. (2021). Why big brains? A comparison of models for both primate and carnivore brain size evolution. PLoS ONE, 16(12), e0261185. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0261185

Despite decades of research, much uncertainty remains regarding the selection pressures responsible for brain size variation. Whilst the influential social brain hypothesis once garnered extensive support, more recent studies have failed to find supp... Read More about Why big brains? A comparison of models for both primate and carnivore brain size evolution.
