Application of Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) in estimating importance of Open Source Software (OSS) user acceptance factors (2014)
Journal Article
Akre, V., Arif, M., & Rizvi, A. (2014). Application of Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) in estimating importance of Open Source Software (OSS) user acceptance factors. AIMS International journal of management, 8(3), 233-249

Open Source Software (OSS) is a phenomenon that has caused turbulence in
the smooth sail of the Software Development Bandwagon. The OSS movement
was initiated by special interest groups of hackers and developers who
perceived the closed source tra... Read More about Application of Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) in estimating importance of Open Source Software (OSS) user acceptance factors.

Tropical cyclones are considered as the most severe natural disasters in Bangladesh; they cause extensive damage, create losses in the country’s economy, and affect social settings. The impact of natural disasters has been further intensified due to... Read More about Evaluation of vulnerability factors for cyclones : the case of Patuakhali, Bangladesh.

A modification to general relativity by use of the notion of local expansion of space-time (2014)
Thesis
Hodgkinson, T. A modification to general relativity by use of the notion of local expansion of space-time. (Thesis). University of Salford

General Relativity (GR) is Einsteins' theory of gravity whereby the motions of
bodies are explained due to their following geodesic paths (the shortest distance
between two points) in a curved four dimensional space-time. The curvature being
attri... Read More about A modification to general relativity by use of the notion of local expansion of space-time.

Non-intrusive user identity provisioning in the internet of things (2014)

The welfare of an individual depends on its capacity to overcome suboptimal
conditions in its environment; otherwise, its physical and psychological
health becomes compromised. A situation that clearly indicates lack of control
of the environment... Read More about Rapid animal welfare assessment : an archaeological approach.

Many-body effects in CdSe/CdTe coloidal quantum dots (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Miloszewski, J., & Tomic, S. (2014, September). Many-body effects in CdSe/CdTe coloidal quantum dots. Presented at 14th International Conference on Numerical Simulation of Optoelectronic Devices, Palma, Spain

We present a theoretical method for calculations of
exciton and bi-exciton energies in type-II colloidal quantum dots.
Our methodology is based on an 8-band k.p Hamiltonian of the
zinc-blend structure, which incorporates the effects of spin-orbit... Read More about Many-body effects in CdSe/CdTe coloidal quantum dots.
