State of the art : concise review scientific advances and new frontiers in mesothelioma therapeutics (2018)
Journal Article

Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare and aggressive cancer that arises from the mesothelial surface of the pleural and peritoneal cavities, the pericardium, and rarely, the tunica vaginalis. The incidence of MPM is expected to increase worl... Read More about State of the art : concise review scientific advances and new frontiers in mesothelioma therapeutics.

Valuing sustainable change in the built environment : using SuROI to appraise built environment projects (2018)
Journal Article

Purpose – The paper aims to assess the strengths and weaknesses SuROI to determine it suitability as a means through which social value can be predicted in line with public procurement directives and the Social Value Act, whilst at the same time as f...

Genetic diversity of common toads (Bufo bufo) along the Norwegian coast : disjunct distribution of locally dominant haplotypes (2018)
Journal Article
haplotypes. Herpetological journal, 28(3), 127-133

Little is known about the phylogeographic history of amphibian populations along the western Fennoscandinavian coast.
In the present study, we focus on the common toad (Bufo bufo) and document the spatial distribution of mitochondrial
DNA (cytb) ha... Read More about Genetic diversity of common toads (Bufo bufo) along the Norwegian coast : disjunct distribution of locally dominant haplotypes.

Three applications of augmented reality technologies in structural engineering education (2018)
Journal Article
Whittleston, G., Haynes, B., & Mardan, A. (2018). Three applications of augmented reality technologies in structural engineering education

In technology terms, a real environment or personal space that is altered with digital media, such as images, is termed Augmented Reality (A.R.). From 2020 onwards, the next big thing in the technology sector will be A.R. The purpose of the current p...

Investigation into the genetic diversity in toll-like receptors 2 and 4 in the European badger Meles meles (2018)
Journal Article

The Toll-like receptor (TLR) genes are a conserved family of genes central to the innate immune response to pathogen infection. They encode receptor proteins, recognise pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and trigger initial immune respons...

Wetlands for wastewater treatment and subsequent recycling of treated effluent: a review (2018)
Journal Article

Due to water scarcity challenges around the world, it is essential to think about non-conventional water resources to address the increased demand in clean freshwater. Environmental and public health problems may result from insufficient provision of... Read More about Wetlands for wastewater treatment and subsequent recycling of treated effluent: a review.

Embodied carbon emissions of buildings : a case study of an apartment building in the UK (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The UK government has set a target to significantly reduce UK greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. 47% of all UK CO2 emissions are linked to the construction and operation of the built environment. Buildings emit two types of carbon namely operational c... Read More about Embodied carbon emissions of buildings : a case study of an apartment building in the UK.

Significant factors influencing Operational and Maintenance (O&M) costs of commercial buildings (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Geekiyanage, D., & Ramachandra, T. (2018, June). Significant factors influencing Operational and Maintenance (O&M) costs of commercial buildings. Paper presented at The 7th World Construction Symposium 2018: Built Asset Sustainability: Rethinking Design, Construction and Operations, Colombo, Sri Lanka

Usually, the costs incurred during the operational phase of a building are much greater than the initial construction cost. Amongst, the running cost of a typical commercial building varies between 70-80% of its total LCC depending on...

The effect of lattice damage and annealing conditions on the hyperfine structure of ion implanted bismuth donors in silicon (2018)
Journal Article

This study reports on high energy bismuth ion implantation into silicon with a particular emphasis on the effect that annealing conditions have on the observed hyperfine structure of the Si:Bi donor state. A suppression of donor bound exciton, D0X, p... Read More about The effect of lattice damage and annealing conditions on the hyperfine structure of ion implanted bismuth donors in silicon.
