A transmission electron microscopy study of inert gases in silicon and iron (2012)
Thesis

This thesis presents a study of inert gas inclusion in iron and silicon, as a result of ion
implantation. The effect of ion implantation conditions on the formation and
development of inert gas bubbles within these solids has been explored, and the... Read More about A transmission electron microscopy study of inert gases in silicon and iron.

Estimation procedure of the descriptor LAeq,T from the stabilization time of the sound pressure level value (2012)
Journal Article
Torija Martinez, A., Ruiz, D., & Ramos-Ridao, A. (2012). Estimation procedure of the descriptor LAeq,T from the stabilization time of the sound pressure level value. Noise and Vibration Worldwide, 43(1), 11-18. https://doi.org/10.1260/0957-4565.43.1.11

Temporal structure of sound pressure level is
a key aspect at the time of characterizing
urban sound environments. In urban
agglomerations, environmental noise levels
fluctuate over a large range as a result of
the great complexity of these sett... Read More about Estimation procedure of the descriptor LAeq,T from the stabilization time of the sound pressure level value.

An exploratory study on the potential of implementing building information modelling (BIM) in Malaysian construction industry : lesson learnt from Singapore and Hong Kong (2012)
Journal Article
Zahrizan, Z., Nasly, M., Marshall-Ponting, A., Haron, A., & Zuhairi, A. (2012). An exploratory study on the potential of implementing building information modelling (BIM) in Malaysian construction industry : lesson learnt from Singapore and Hong Kong. International Journal of Civil Engineering and Geo-Environment (Online), 3, 1-6

For a decade, construction industry can be considered as a fragmented industry because of
lacking of sharing information through its life cycle and with other parties. Information
Technology (IT) can be a tool for integrating and collaborating amon... Read More about An exploratory study on the potential of implementing building information modelling (BIM) in Malaysian construction industry : lesson learnt from Singapore and Hong Kong.
