The use of ethnographic accounts for understanding culture in construction
Presentation / Conference
Rooke, J., & Seymour, D. The use of ethnographic accounts for understanding culture in construction. Presented at Joint Meeting of CIB Working Commissions W55/W65 and Task Groups TG23/TG31/TG35, University of Reading

Culture, in the sense of a way of life, is increasingly seen as a topic worthy of study within the construction management community. There are two major reasons for this: i) recognition that the changed practices which the industry is required to un...

Seeking evidence for the role of ontological assumptions in the thinking of managers and professional
Presentation / Conference
Rooke, J., Koskela, L., & Seymour, D. Seeking evidence for the role of ontological assumptions in the thinking of managers and professional. Presented at Second Annual Built Environment Education Conference (BEECON 2006), Recruitment and Retention:The Way Forward, The Bonnington Hotel, Bloomsbury, London

Shingo's (1988) seminal innovation in the theory of production management can be seen as a re-conceptualization of production as flow rather than transformation (Koskela 1992). These alternatives can in turn be regarded as reflections of opposing ont... Read More about Seeking evidence for the role of ontological assumptions in the thinking of managers and professional.

Landscape composition and spatial prediction of alveolar echinococcosis in Southern Ningxia, China
Journal Article

Background: Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) presents a serious public health challenge within China. Mass screening ultrasound surveys can detect pre-symptomatic AE, but targeting areas identified from hospital records is inefficient regarding AE. Predi...

High-spectral resolution data for determining leaf water content
Journal Article
Danson, F., Steven, M., Malthus, T., & et, A. High-spectral resolution data for determining leaf water content. International Journal of Remote Sensing, 13(3), 461-470. https://doi.org/10.1080/01431169208904049

Laboratory measurements of the spectral reflectance of leaves from a variety of species were made over the 400-2500 nm range using a spectroradiomctcr. The relation between spectral reflectance and leaf water content was investigated and the effect o... Read More about High-spectral resolution data for determining leaf water content.
