during manufacturing... Read More about Computational fluid dynamics analysis of moisture ingress in aircraft structural composite materials.

Quantifying the hidden costs of imperfect detection for early detection surveillance (2019)
Journal Article
Mastin, A., van den Bosch, F., van den Berg, F., & Parnell, S. (2019). Quantifying the hidden costs of imperfect detection for early detection surveillance. Philosophical Transactions B: Biological Sciences, 374(1776), 20180261. https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2018.0261

The global spread of pathogens poses an increasing threat to health, ecosystems, and agriculture worldwide. As early detection of new incursions is key to effective control, new diagnostic tests which can detect pathogen presence shortly after initia...

Estimating the running costs of commercial buildings: artificial neural network modeling (2019)
Presentation / Conference
Hemba Geekiyanage, M., & Ramachandra, T. (2019, May). Estimating the running costs of commercial buildings: artificial neural network modeling. Presented at 10th International Structural Engineering and Construction Conference, ISEC 2019, Chicago, USA

Running costs of a building is a substantial share of its total life-cycle cost (LCC) and it ranges between 70-80% in commercial buildings. Despite its significant contribution to LCC, investors and construction industry practitioners tend to mostly...

Investigating the differences in Web browsing behaviour of Arabic (RTL) and English (LTR) users using mouse tracking (2019)
Presentation / Conference
Griffiths, L., Rasaei, A., & Haider, N. (2019, May). Investigating the differences in Web browsing behaviour of Arabic (RTL) and English (LTR) users using mouse tracking. Presented at 2nd International Conference on Digital Marketing : Strategy & Innovation in Digital Marketing, Galle Face Hotel, Colombo, Sri Lanka

The internet has become the global information and communication source. With such widespread usage of the web, it is crucial to marketing businesses to understand how users behave on websites. Mouse movement in any area on a webpage is an indicator...

Numerical study of magneto-convective heat and mass transfer from inclined surface with Soret diffusion and heat generation effects : a model for ocean magnetohydrodynamics energy generator fluid dynamics. Chinese Journal of Physics, 60(Aug 19), 167-179. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cjph.2019.05.002

A mathematical model is developed for steady state magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) heat and
mass transfer flow along an inclined surface in an ocean MHD energy generator device with
heat generation and thermo-diffusive (Soret) effects. The governing equa... Read More about Numerical study of magneto-convective heat and mass transfer from inclined surface with Soret diffusion and heat generation effects : a model for ocean magnetohydrodynamics energy generator fluid dynamics.

A framework of intra-organisational knowledge sharing practices in implementing BIM within the Malaysian construction industry (2019)
Thesis
Musa, S. (in press). A framework of intra-organisational knowledge sharing practices in implementing BIM within the Malaysian construction industry. (Thesis). University of Salford

The Malaysian construction industry has been urged by the government to implement BIM to become a stable, developed, and modernised country by the year 2020. In the Malaysian context, research has shown that BIM implementation is relatively low and i...

Energy performance and summer thermal comfort of traditional courtyard buildings in a desert climate (2019)
Journal Article
Zamani, Z., Heidari, S., Azmoodeh, M., & Taleghani, M. (2019). Energy performance and summer thermal comfort of traditional courtyard buildings in a desert climate. Environmental Progress and Sustainable Energy, 38(6), e13256. https://doi.org/10.1002/ep.13256

Courtyards have been traditionally used as a passive design strategy in desert climates. However, few studies have quantified the thermal performance of this building archetype. This paper explored the indoor and outdoor thermal conditions of a typic... Read More about Energy performance and summer thermal comfort of traditional courtyard buildings in a desert climate.

Analyzing the deformation of multilayered saturated sandy soils under large building foundation (2019)
Journal Article
Li, C., Xiu, Z., Ji, Y., Wang, F., & Chan, A. (2019). Analyzing the deformation of multilayered saturated sandy soils under large building foundation. KSCE Journal of Civil Engineering, 23, 3764-3776. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12205-019-0187-y

The generalized plasticity theory has been subject of much research in geomechanics. The Pastor-Zienkiewicz model and its modified versions are among these. For large foundations resting on multilayered soils the actual loading is often non-linear. I...
