Target cost contracts and the development of collaborative behaviours and value for money in the UK construction industry (2019)
Journal Article
Smith, A., & Wood, G. (2019). Target cost contracts and the development of collaborative behaviours and value for money in the UK construction industry. Journal of international business research and marketing, 4(4), 7-15. https://doi.org/10.18775/jibrm.1849-8558.2015.44.3001

TCCs are seen to be a procurement model capable of achieving value for money through aligning the objectives of the parties to reduce costs. The use of Target Cost Contracts (TCCs) within the UK construction industry has increased dramatically over t...

Three-dimensional bioconvection nanofluid flow from a bi-axial stretching sheet with anisotropic slip (2019)
Journal Article
Amirsom, N., Uddin, M., Basir, M., Ismail, A., Beg, O., & Kadir, A. (2019). Three-dimensional bioconvection nanofluid flow from a bi-axial stretching sheet with anisotropic slip. Sains malaysiana, 48(5), 1137-1149. https://doi.org/10.17576/jsm-2019-4805-23

A theoretical study is presented for three-dimensional flow of bioconvection nanofluids containing gyrotactic microorganisms over a bi-axial stretching sheet. The effects of anisotropic slip, thermal jump and mass slip are considered in
the mathemat... Read More about Three-dimensional bioconvection nanofluid flow from a bi-axial stretching sheet with anisotropic slip.

A framework for auralization of boundary element method simulations including source and receiver directivity (2019)
Journal Article

The Boundary Element Method (BEM) is a proven numerical prediction tool for computation of room acoustic transfer functions, as are required for auralization of a virtual space. In this paper it is validated against case studies drawn from the ‘Groun...

The UK government made significant commitments to upgrading the energy efficiency of seven million British homes by 2020, aiming at reducing carbon emissions and addressing fuel poverty. One alternative to achieve better energy performance in existin... Read More about Evaluating Social Housing Retrofit Options to Support Clients’ Decision Making—SIMPLER BIM Protocol.

Analyzing data streams using a dynamic compact stream pattern algorithm (2019)
Journal Article
Oyewale, A., Hughes, C., & Saraee, M. (2019). Analyzing data streams using a dynamic compact stream pattern algorithm

A growing number of applications that generate massive streams of data need intelligent data
processing and online analysis. Data & Knowledge Engineering (DKE) has been known to stimulate the
exchange of ideas and interaction between these two rela... Read More about Analyzing data streams using a dynamic compact stream pattern algorithm.
