Optimization of the BIM authoring tool in architectural practice : a case study approach (2012)
Journal Article
Coates, S., & Arayici, Y. (2012). Optimization of the BIM authoring tool in architectural practice : a case study approach. International journal of 3-D information modeling (Online), 1(2), 30-45. https://doi.org/10.4018/ij3dim.2012040103

Construction companies are facing barriers and challenges in Building Information Modelling (BIM) adoption as there is no clear guidance or best practice studies from which they can learn and build up their capacity for BIM use to increase productivi...

A listener-centred approach to soundscape evaluation (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Foale, K., & Davies, W. (2012, April). A listener-centred approach to soundscape evaluation. Presented at Acoustics 2012, Nantes

I am conducting a Grounded Theory study into measuring opinions of urban soundscapes. Participants are given a
small portable recording device and asked to keep a sound diary for two weeks. At the end of the two weeks, they
are given a 60-minute in... Read More about A listener-centred approach to soundscape evaluation.

Two algorithms for the sorting of unknown train vibration signals into freight and passenger train categories (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Sharp, C., Waddington, D., Woodcock, J., Sica, G., Peris, E., & Moorhouse, A. (2012, April). Two algorithms for the sorting of unknown train vibration signals into freight and passenger train categories. Presented at Acoustics 2012 Nantes Conference, Nantes, France

The human response to railway noise has been well researched; however, there is a need to further research the human response to railway vibration, freight in particular. To facilitate this, two algorithms have been constructed with the aim of sortin...

Unique magnetic properties and magnetization reversal process of CoFe2O4 nanotubes fabricated by electrospinning (2012)
Journal Article

CoFe2O4 nanotubes have been directly fabricated by single-capillary spinneret electrospinning. The
external diameter of the CoFe2O4 nanotubes ranges from 60 nm to 160 nm. The morphology and
structure characterizations show that individual CoFe2O4 n... Read More about Unique magnetic properties and magnetization reversal process of CoFe2O4 nanotubes fabricated by electrospinning.

Construction waste management in India : an exploratory study (2012)
Journal Article
Arif, M., Bendi, D., Toma-Sabbagh, T., & Sutrisna, M. (2012). Construction waste management in India : an exploratory study. Construction innovation (London. Online), 12(2), 133-155. https://doi.org/10.1108/14714171211215912

Purpose – The growth of Indian economy has brought with it significant increase in construction activities. These increased construction activities have further highlighted the problem of waste generation on construction sites. The purpose of this pa...

Apoptin induces apoptosis by changing the equilibrium between the stability of TAp73 and DNp73 isoforms through ubiquitin ligase PIR2 (2012)
Journal Article

Apoptin, a protein derived from the chicken anaemia virus, induces cell death in various cancer cells but shows little or no cytotoxicity in normal cells. The mechanism of apoptin-induced cell death is currently unknown but it appears to induce apopt...

Interval estimations for parameters of Gompertz model with time-dependent covariate and right censored data (2012)
Journal Article
Kiani, K., Arasan, J., & Midi, H. (2012). Interval estimations for parameters of Gompertz model with time-dependent covariate and right censored data. Sains malaysiana, 41(4), 471-480

There are numerous parametric models for analyzing survival data such as exponential, Weibull, log-normal and gamma. One of such models is the Gompertz model which is widely used in biology and demography. Most of these models are extended to new for...

Social cliques in male northern muriquis Brachyteles hypoxanthus (2012)
Journal Article
Tokuda, M., Boubli, J., Izar, P., & Strier, K. (2012). Social cliques in male northern muriquis Brachyteles hypoxanthus. Current Zoology, 58(2), 342-352. https://doi.org/10.1093/czoolo/58.2.342

Analyses of spatial relationships and social interactions provide insights into the social structure of animal societies and the ways in which social preferences among and between dyads affect higher order social relationships. In this paper we descr... Read More about Social cliques in male northern muriquis Brachyteles hypoxanthus.

Environmental management and corporate social responsibility in corporate organisations - an integrated management system and balanced scorecard framework for corporate sustainability (2012)
Thesis

This research investigated environmental management and corporate social responsibility
practices to identify the implementation and operational problems that organisations face in
setting up and operating their systems. The aim was to develop an i... Read More about Environmental management and corporate social responsibility in corporate organisations - an integrated management system and balanced scorecard framework for corporate sustainability.
