Evolution and development of urban land use planning: analysis from human action theory perspective (2014)
Journal Article
Gyau, K., Hammond, F., Booth, C., & Lamond, J. (2014). Evolution and development of urban land use planning: analysis from human action theory perspective. Theoretical and Empirical Researches in Urban Management (Print), 9(2), 35-67

While numerous literature discuss urban land use planning theory, it is still unclear the framework that should drive
planning practice signifying the need for further interrogation of the subject. This work analyses evolution and
development of pl... Read More about Evolution and development of urban land use planning: analysis from human action theory perspective.

Waveguides in Ni-doped glass and glass–ceramic written with a 1 kHz femtosecond laser (2014)
Journal Article
femtosecond laser. Optical Materials, 36(6), 1604-1608. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.optmat.2014.04.042

We report waveguides in Ni-doped Li2O–Ga2O3–SiO2 (Ni:LGS) glass and glass–ceramic (GC) fabricated
with a femtosecond (fs) laser with repetition rate of 1 kHz. When the glass is annealed to form a GC,
the waveguides are erased. However, in the GC th... Read More about Waveguides in Ni-doped glass and glass–ceramic written with a 1 kHz femtosecond laser.

Neural correlates of emotional responses to music : An EEG study (2014)
Journal Article

This paper presents an EEG study into the neural correlates of music-induced emotions. We presented participants with a large dataset containing musical pieces in different styles, and asked them to report on their induced emotional responses.

We... Read More about Neural correlates of emotional responses to music : An EEG study.

Impacts of UVB provision and dietary calcium content on serum vitamin D3, growth rates, skeletal structure and coloration in captive oriental fire-bellied toads (Bombina orientalis) (2014)
Journal Article
Michaels, C., Antwis, R., & Preziosi, R. (2015). Impacts of UVB provision and dietary calcium content on serum vitamin D3, growth rates, skeletal structure and coloration in captive oriental fire-bellied toads (Bombina orientalis). Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, 99(2), 391-403. https://doi.org/10.1111/jpn.12203

Many amphibian species are dependent on ex situ conservation interventions for their long?term persistence. However, projects have been jeopardised by husbandry issues involving poor calcium metabolism and nutritional metabolic bone disease (NMBD). H...

Assessing the vulnerability of coastal infrastructure to sea level rise using multi-criteria analysis in Scarborough, Maine (USA) (2014)
Journal Article
Johnston, A., Slovinsky, P., & Yates, K. (2014). Assessing the vulnerability of coastal infrastructure to sea level rise using multi-criteria analysis in Scarborough, Maine (USA). Ocean and Coastal Management, 95, 176-188. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ocecoaman.2014.04.016

Sea level rise and climate change will have widespread impacts on coastal towns and cities, many of which have seen dramatic increases in development over recent decades. In addition to potential private property damage, the critical public infrastru...

Response of vegetables to cadmium-enriched soil (2014)
Journal Article
Ebrazi Bakhshayesh, B., Delkash, M., & Scholz, M. (2014). Response of vegetables to cadmium-enriched soil. Water, 6(5), 1246-1256. https://doi.org/10.3390/w6051246

Environmental and water pollution through heavy metals is a growing concern. The recycling of untreated wastewater, which is often contaminated with heavy metals, for agricultural applications is becoming more popular. However, information on the amo...

Putting policy initiatives into practice : adopting an “honest broker” approach to adapting small businesses against flooding (2014)
Journal Article

Purpose: Amidst the current economic climate, which places many constraints on expensive flood
defence schemes, the policy makers tend to favour schemes that are sympathetic to the needs
of small and medium
-sized enterprises (SMEs) and which prom... Read More about Putting policy initiatives into practice : adopting an “honest broker” approach to adapting small businesses against flooding.

Hardware-based agent modelling : Event-Driven Reactive Architecture (EDRA) (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Gerlein, E., McGinnity, T., Belatreche, A., Coleman, S., & Li, Y. (2014, May). Hardware-based agent modelling : Event-Driven Reactive Architecture (EDRA). Presented at 13th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multi-agent Systems, Paris

Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) have been recognised as a promising solution to address complex problems in many areas. However such systems are extremely hungry in terms of computational resources. Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) offer great perfor... Read More about Hardware-based agent modelling : Event-Driven Reactive Architecture (EDRA).

A systems approach to assessing organisational viability – an oil and gas project based organisation case study (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Awuzie, B., & McDermott, P. (2014, May). A systems approach to assessing organisational viability – an oil and gas project based organisation case study. Presented at CIB International Conference 2014: W55/65/89/92/96/102/117 & TG72/74/81/83 Construction in a Changing World, Sri Lanka

Extant literature highlights the increasing inability of Project-Based Organisations (PBOs) to meet infrastructure client’s expectations, particularly as it concerns the delivery of socio-economic outcomes during the delivery process. Viability is de... Read More about A systems approach to assessing organisational viability – an oil and gas project based organisation case study.
