Experimental investigation of the aeroelastic behavior of a complex prismatic element (2015)
Journal Article
Nguyen, C., Freda, A., Solari, G., & Tubino, F. (2015). Experimental investigation of the aeroelastic behavior of a complex prismatic element. Wind and Structures, 20(5), 683-699. https://doi.org/10.12989/was.2015.20.5.683

Lighting poles and antenna masts are typically high, slender and light structures. Moreover, they are often characterized by distributed eccentricities that make very complex their shape. Experience teaches that this structural type frequently suffer... Read More about Experimental investigation of the aeroelastic behavior of a complex prismatic element.

E-learning for project management (2015)
Journal Article
Ellis, R., Thorpe, T., & Wood, G. (2015). E-learning for project management. Proceedings of the ICE - Civil Engineering, 156(3), 137-141. https://doi.org/10.1680/cien.2003.156.3.137

This paper examines the reasons for the apparent reluctance of civil engineers and other construction professionals to use computer-aided learning on distance-learning programmes and reports on the evaluation of a project-management CD-ROM. It conclu... Read More about E-learning for project management.

Integrated coastal zone management and its potential application to Antigua and Barbuda (2015)
Journal Article
Ramsey, V., Cooper, J., & Yates, K. (2015). Integrated coastal zone management and its potential application to Antigua and Barbuda. Ocean and Coastal Management, 118(Part B), 259-274. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ocecoaman.2015.04.017

Coastal resources are an essential asset for many nations, particularly small island nations, whose dependency upon coastal resources is especially high. Antigua and Barbuda has a population of approximately 85,000, of which a high percentage either...

Implementing BIM to Streamline a Design, Manufacture and Fitting Workflow. (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Machado, M., Underwood, J., & Fleming, A. (2015, May). Implementing BIM to Streamline a Design, Manufacture and Fitting Workflow. Poster presented at Modular and Offsite Construction [MOC] Summit, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Lean and Building Information Modelling (BIM) have synergies. BIM Implementation demands changes in existing process and procedures for design and construction, representing a technology change, but also a process change. Technology should fit organi...

Remarkably divergent regions punctuate the genome assembly of the Caenorhabditis elegans Hawaiian strain CB4856 (2015)
Journal Article

The Hawaiian strain (CB4856) of Caenorhabditis elegans is one of the most divergent from the canonical laboratory strain N2 and has been widely used in developmental, population and evolutionary studies. To enhance the utility of the strain, we have... Read More about Remarkably divergent regions punctuate the genome assembly of the Caenorhabditis elegans Hawaiian strain CB4856.

Mammalian lineages and the biostratigraphy and biochronology of Cenozoic faunas from the Riversleigh World Heritage Area, Australia (2015)
Journal Article

Lineage zones within nine contemporaneous mammalian lineages represented in the Cenozoic fossil vertebrate record from the Riversleigh World Heritage Area in northern Australia are used to resolve a series of faunal intervals from the Late Oligocene...

DNA barcoding and morphological identification of neotropical ichthyoplankton from the Upper Paraná and São Francisco (2015)
Journal Article
Becker, R., Sales, N. G., Santos, G., Santos, G., & Carvalho, D. (2015). DNA barcoding and morphological identification of neotropical ichthyoplankton from the Upper Paraná and São Francisco. Journal of Fish Biology, 87(1), 159-168. https://doi.org/10.1111/jfb.12707

The identification of fish larvae from two neotropical hydrographic basins using traditional morphological taxonomy and DNA barcoding revealed no conflicting results between the morphological and barcode identification of larvae. A lower rate (25%) o... Read More about DNA barcoding and morphological identification of neotropical ichthyoplankton from the Upper Paraná and São Francisco.
