Supply chain risk management and the role of organisation culture : evidence from Libyan ports (2020)
Thesis

Seaports are one of the main facilitators of economic growth as they create trade and jobs globally. Particularly in African countries, where they are considered as focal points for oil and gas exportation with both neighbouring and developed countri...

The effects of biochar on trace element and nutrient solubility in the presence of low-molecular-weight organic acids (2020)
Thesis
Heaney, N. The effects of biochar on trace element and nutrient solubility in the presence of low-molecular-weight organic acids. (Thesis). University of Salford

Low-molecular-weight organic acids (LMWOAs) secreted by plant roots play an essential role in regulating the phytoavailability of soil-borne trace elements and nutrients. Biochar is widely considered as a suitable soil remediation option, having show...

Ontology-based context-aware model for event processing in an IoT environment (2020)
Thesis
Al lahham, A. Ontology-based context-aware model for event processing in an IoT environment. (Thesis). University of Salford

The Internet of Things (IoT) is more and more becoming one of the fundamental sources of data. The observations produced by these sources are made accessible with heterogeneous vocabularies, models and data formats. The heterogeneity factor in such a...

Development of a framework to evaluate the impact of behavioural factors on the performance of strategic railway alliances in the UK (2020)
Thesis
Al-Naseri, W. Development of a framework to evaluate the impact of behavioural factors on the performance of strategic railway alliances in the UK. (Thesis). University of Salford

The increasingly competitive environments that industries are operating in today, pose several complex challenges, such as technological advances in both hard and soft systems, which require behaviours, skills and knowledge. These competencies can be... Read More about Development of a framework to evaluate the impact of behavioural factors on the performance of strategic railway alliances in the UK.

The synthesis, isolation and evaluation of novel anticancer and antibacterial therapeutics derived from natural products (2020)
Thesis
Omonga, N. The synthesis, isolation and evaluation of novel anticancer and antibacterial therapeutics derived from natural products. (Thesis). University of Salford

This study focused on isolation, synthesis, development and evaluation of novel antimicrobial and anticancer agents from natural product. Natural products have found lead applications in the pharmaceutical industry as sources of chemotherapeutics aga...

Inference for Survival Models with Doubly Interval Censored Data and Fixed or Time Dependent Covariate (2019)
Book Chapter
Kiani, K., & Arasan, J. (2019). Inference for Survival Models with Doubly Interval Censored Data and Fixed or Time Dependent Covariate. In S. Ao, L. Gelman, & H. Kim (Eds.), Transactions on Engineering Technologies (187-203). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-32-9531-5_14

In this research inference for survival models with doubly interval censored (DIC) data and fixed or time dependent covariate is discussed. DIC data usually arise in follow-up studies where the lifetime, T = W − V  is the elapsed time between two rel...

Toward a sustainable, participatory and inclusive wild meat sector (2019)
Book

The meat of wild species, referred to in this report as ‘wild meat’, is an essential source of protein and a generator of income for millions of forest-living communities in tropical and subtropical regions. However, unsustainable harvest rates curre... Read More about Toward a sustainable, participatory and inclusive wild meat sector.

Hooked on you: shape of attachment structures in cymothoid isopods reflects parasitic strategy (2019)
Journal Article
Baillie, C., Welicky, R., Hadfield, K., Smit, N., Mariani, S., & Beck, R. (2019). Hooked on you: shape of attachment structures in cymothoid isopods reflects parasitic strategy. BMC Evolutionary Biology, 19, 207. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12862-019-1533-x

Background
Parasite attachment structures are critical traits that influence effective host exploitation and survival. Morphology of attachment structures can reinforce host specificity and niche specialisation, or even enable host switching. Theref...

CS Challenger: Gamifying the Learning of Computer Science Concepts through a Mobile Application Platform (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

There is a huge dropout rate among Computer Science students at the University of Namibia (UNAM). This can be attributed to the lack of engaging methods for learning both basic and advanced computational concepts. Despite gamification concepts in lea...
