Affective response to amplitude modulated wind turbine noise (2015)
Presentation / Conference
von Hünerbein, S., & Piper, B. (2015, April). Affective response to amplitude modulated wind turbine noise. Presented at Wind Turbine Noise 2015, Glasgow

Residents living adjacent to wind farms are exposed to a combination of turbine noise and background noise with all its environmental and local constituents. As the amplitude modulation character in turbine sounds is thought to specifically contribut... Read More about Affective response to amplitude modulated wind turbine noise.

Real estate student satisfaction in Australia : what matters most? (2015)
Journal Article
Poon, J., & Brownlow, M. (2015). Real estate student satisfaction in Australia : what matters most?. Property Management, 33(2), 100-132. https://doi.org/10.1108/PM-05-2014-0023

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to identify the relative importance of the factors that influence the overall satisfaction of real estate students and also examine the extent to which demographic backgrounds affect this. Furthermore, this paper... Read More about Real estate student satisfaction in Australia : what matters most?.

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.

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...

C:N ratio drives soil actinobacterial cellobiohydrolase gene diversity (2015)
Journal Article

Cellulose accounts for approximately half of photosynthesis-fixed carbon; however, the ecology of its degradation in soil is still relatively poorly understood. The role of actinobacteria in cellulose degradation has not been extensively investigated... Read More about C:N ratio drives soil actinobacterial cellobiohydrolase gene diversity.

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.
