An invasive mammal (the gray squirrel, sciurus carolinensis) commonly hosts diverse and atypical genotypes of the zoonotic pathogen borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato (2015)
Journal Article

Invasive vertebrate species can act as hosts for endemic pathogens and may alter pathogen community composition and dynamics.
For the zoonotic pathogen Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, the agent of Lyme borreliosis, recent work shows invasive rodent...

Detailed directivity measurements of aerodynamic sound sources (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Elliott, A., Meggitt, J., & Moorhouse, A. (2015, April). Detailed directivity measurements of aerodynamic sound sources. Presented at Noise and Vibration - Emerging Technologies, Dubrovnik, Croatia

The sound radiated by a vibrating surface can be modelled using combinations of elementary sources but for aerodynamic noise sources it less clear how to do so. It is proposed here that the arrangement and number of ideal sources required to represen... Read More about Detailed directivity measurements of aerodynamic sound sources.

Life cycle costing : evaluating its use in UK practice (2015)
Journal Article
Higham, A., Fortune, C., & James, H. (2015). Life cycle costing : evaluating its use in UK practice. Structural survey, 33(1), 73-87. https://doi.org/10.1108/SS-06-2014-0026

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to establish the extent to which life cycle costing is used as an early stage project evaluation tool by practitioners in the UK construction industry. The use of this evaluation tool has long been advocated by acad... Read More about Life cycle costing : evaluating its use in UK practice.

Crustaceans of extreme environments (2015)
Book Chapter
Benvenuto, C., Knott, B., & Weeks, S. (2015). Crustaceans of extreme environments. In M. Thiel, & L. Watling (Eds.), Lifestyles and Feeding Biology (379-417). Oxford University Press

Crustaceans are a remarkably diverse group of organisms, which have colonized and occupied a broad variety of niches. Many crustacean species are found in extreme environments, inhospitable to the majority of animal taxa, including Antarctic lakes,... Read More about Crustaceans of extreme environments.

Mars image segmentation with most relevant features among wavelet and color features (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Rashno, A., Saraee, M., & Sadri, S. (2015, April). Mars image segmentation with most relevant features among wavelet and color features. Presented at AI & Robotics (IRANOPEN), 2015

Mars rover is a robot which explores the Mars surface, is equipped to front-line Panoramic Camera (Pancam). Automatic processing and segmentation of images taken by Pancam is one of the most important and most significant tasks of Mars rover since th...

The research methodology for the development of a kaizen costing framework suitable for indigenous construction firms in Lagos, Nigeria (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Omotayo, T., & Kulatunga, U. (2015, April). The research methodology for the development of a kaizen costing framework suitable for indigenous construction firms in Lagos, Nigeria. Presented at Association of Researchers in Construction Management (ARCOM) Doctoral workshop, Dublin Institute of Technology, Dublin, Ireland

The need for a cost management paradigm shift in the construction industry is imperative because of the prevailing challenges of managing construction cost during construction. Small and medium scale construction firms in
Nigeria are faced with the... Read More about The research methodology for the development of a kaizen costing framework suitable for indigenous construction firms in Lagos, Nigeria.

Applying case study approach and triangulation methods of data collection in the ICT context in Libya (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Allali, B., & Kulatunga, U. (2015, April). Applying case study approach and triangulation methods of data collection in the ICT context in Libya. Presented at Association of Researchers in Construction Management (ARCOM) Doctoral workshop, Dublin Institute of Technology, Dublin, Ireland

In the last few decades concepts such as organizational culture (OC) and knowledge sharing (KS) have been
conceived as being interrelated phenomena where each one influences the other. In the current business and
technology literature, there is a... Read More about Applying case study approach and triangulation methods of data collection in the ICT context in Libya.
