Effective implementation of total quality management within the Nigerian construction industry (2019)
Thesis
Ahaotu, S. (in press). Effective implementation of total quality management within the Nigerian construction industry. (Thesis). University of Salford

Today’s commercial environment demands the adoption of Total Quality Management (TQM), which a managerial approach that aims to achieve customer satisfaction and global competitiveness. Therefore, TQM is a systematic approach that views quality as th... Read More about Effective implementation of total quality management within the Nigerian construction industry.

Low-complexity non-intrusive load monitoring using unsupervised learning and generalized appliance models (2019)
Journal Article
Liu, Q., Kamoto, K., Liu, X., Sun, M., & Linge, N. (2019). Low-complexity non-intrusive load monitoring using unsupervised learning and generalized appliance models. IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics, 65(1), 28-37. https://doi.org/10.1109/TCE.2019.2891160

Awareness of electric energy usage has both societal and economic benefits, which include reduced energy bills and stress on non-renewable energy sources. In recent years, there has been a surge in interest in the field of load monitoring, also refer...

With asthma being one of the leading causes of death in different countries, the emphasis on improving the health of asthma patients is important. While the use of smart technologies is a good approach for improving the health of asthma patients, tec... Read More about Identifying the Components of a Smart Health Ecosystem for Asthma Patients.

Photocatalytic hydrogen production by biomimetic indium sulfide using Mimosa pudica leaves as template (2019)
Journal Article

Biomimetic sulfur-deficient indium sulfide (In2.77S4) was synthesized by a template-assisted hydrothermal method using leaves of Mimosa pudica as a template for the first time. The effect of this template in modifying the morphology of the semiconduc... Read More about Photocatalytic hydrogen production by biomimetic indium sulfide using Mimosa pudica leaves as template.

Intelligent conditional collaborative private data sharing (2019)
Journal Article
Bianchi, G., Dargahi, T., Caponi, A., & Conti, M. (2019). Intelligent conditional collaborative private data sharing. Future Generation Computer Systems, 96(Jul 19), 1-10. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.future.2019.01.001

With the advent of distributed systems, secure and privacy-preserving data sharing between different entities (individuals or organizations) becomes a challenging issue. There are several real-world scenarios in which different entities are willing t... Read More about Intelligent conditional collaborative private data sharing.

Numerical modelling of passively loaded pile groups (2019)
Journal Article
Al-abboodi, I., & Toma-Sabbagh, T. (2019). Numerical modelling of passively loaded pile groups. Geotechnical and Geological Engineering, 37, 2747-2761. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10706-018-00791-z

Piled foundations could be affected negatively as a result of passive loadings caused by nearby soil movement-induced activities, and failure of piles could happen in some sever cases. This paper deals with the numerical analysis of passively loaded... Read More about Numerical modelling of passively loaded pile groups.

Sites of learning : exploring political ecologies and visceral pedagogies of surplus food redistribution in the UK (2019)
Journal Article
Spring, C., Adams, M., & Hardman, M. (2019). Sites of learning : exploring political ecologies and visceral pedagogies of surplus food redistribution in the UK. Policy Futures in Education, 17(7), 844-861. https://doi.org/10.1177/1478210318819249

Drawing on ethnographic research with organisations redistributing wasted food, this paper explores potentials for political and ethical learning by comparing different approaches to food handling and teaching. Food acts as instigator and tool for le... Read More about Sites of learning : exploring political ecologies and visceral pedagogies of surplus food redistribution in the UK.
