Gut microbiome composition is associated with spatial structuring and social interactions in semi-feral Welsh mountain ponies (2018)
Journal Article
Antwis, R., Lea, J., Unwin, B., & Shultz, S. (2018). Gut microbiome composition is associated with spatial structuring and social interactions in semi-feral Welsh mountain ponies. Microbiome, 6(207), https://doi.org/10.1186/s40168-018-0593-2

Background: Microbiome composition is linked to host functional traits including metabolism and immune function. Drivers of microbiome composition are increasingly well-characterised; however, evidence of group-level microbiome convergence is limited...

Broadband characterisation of in-duct acoustic sources using an equivalent source approach (2018)
Journal Article
Meggitt, J., Elliott, A., Moorhouse, A., Banwell, G., Hopper, H., & Lamb, J. (2019). Broadband characterisation of in-duct acoustic sources using an equivalent source approach. Journal of Sound and Vibration, 442(Mar 19), 800-816. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsv.2018.10.041

This paper is concerned with the development of an experimental method capable of independently characterising low Mach number, in-duct fluid machines, such as pumps, fans, etc. The aim is to propose and test a source characterisation method that is...

Effects of gravity on flow behaviour of supercritical CO2 during enhanced gas recovery and sequestration (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Abba, M., Abbas, A., Saidu, B., Nasr, G., & Al-Otaibi, A. (2018, November). Effects of gravity on flow behaviour of supercritical CO2 during enhanced gas recovery and sequestration. Poster presented at Fifth CO2 Geological Storage Workshop, Utrecht, The Netherlands

A core flooding experiment was carried out to simulate an Enhanced Gas Recovery (EGR) process to inject supercritical Carbon Dioxide (SCO2) into a core sample saturated with methane (CH4). This was done to investigate the flow behaviour of the inject... Read More about Effects of gravity on flow behaviour of supercritical CO2 during enhanced gas recovery and sequestration.

Urban land-use dynamics in the Niger Delta : the case of Greater Port Harcourt watershed (2018)
Journal Article
Dan-Jumbo, N., Metzger, M., & Clark, A. (2018). Urban land-use dynamics in the Niger Delta : the case of Greater Port Harcourt watershed. Urban Science, 2(4), 108. https://doi.org/10.3390/urbansci2040108

Cities in developing countries are urbanising at a rapid rate, resulting in substantial pressures on environmental systems. Among the main factors that lead to flooding, controlling land-use change offers the greatest scope for the management of risk...

Critical success factors for Kaizen implementation in the Nigerian construction industry (2018)
Journal Article
Omotayo, T., Kulatunga, U., & Bjeirmi, B. (2018). Critical success factors for Kaizen implementation in the Nigerian construction industry. International Journal of Productivity and Performance Management, 67(9), 1816-1836. https://doi.org/10.1108/ijppm-11-2017-0296

Purpose: Kaizen in construction is a new paradigm stemming out of lean production systems. Construction companies in developing economies, such as Nigeria, have a task to innovate to liquidate in certain cases. With the aid of kaizen, which encompass...

Quantifying and contextualising cyclone-driven, extreme flood magnitudes in bedrock-influenced dryland rivers (2018)
Journal Article

In many drylands worldwide, rivers are subjected to episodic, extreme flood events and associated sediment stripping. These events may trigger transformations from mixed bedrock-alluvial channels characterised by high geomorphic and ecological divers...

Putting context to numbers : a geotechnical risk trajectory to cost overrun extremism (2018)
Journal Article
Amadi, A., & Higham, A. (2019). Putting context to numbers : a geotechnical risk trajectory to cost overrun extremism. Construction Management and Economics, 37(4), 217-237. https://doi.org/10.1080/01446193.2018.1513656

The study investigates the cause of the unusually high cost overruns experienced
in highway project delivery in the tropical wetland setting of the Niger Delta
region of Nigeria. This is in view of the extensive literature supporting the link
betw... Read More about Putting context to numbers : a geotechnical risk trajectory to cost overrun extremism.

A vast 4000-year-old spatial pattern of termite mounds (2018)
Journal Article
Martin, S., Funch, R., Hanson, P., & Yoo, E. (2018). A vast 4000-year-old spatial pattern of termite mounds. Current Biology, 28(22), R1292-R1293. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2018.09.061

The origins of many large-scale ‘biogenic’ earthen structures are controversial, because often the species that built them have vanished. This is especially true when they form regular (over-dispersed), self-organized vegetation patterns [1]. Here, w... Read More about A vast 4000-year-old spatial pattern of termite mounds.
