Spatiotemporal dispersion and wave envelopes with relativistic and pseudorelativistic characteristics (2012)
Journal Article
Christian, J., McDonald, G., Hodgkinson, T., & Chamorro-Posada, P. (2012). Spatiotemporal dispersion and wave envelopes with relativistic and pseudorelativistic characteristics. Physical Review Letters, 108(3), 034101-1. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.108.034101

A generic nonparaxial model for pulse envelopes is presented. Classic Schro¨dinger-type descriptions of
wave propagation have their origins in slowly-varying envelopes combined with a Galilean boost to the
local time frame. By abandoning these two... Read More about Spatiotemporal dispersion and wave envelopes with relativistic and pseudorelativistic characteristics.

Simulating urban growth processes incorporating a potential model with spatial metrics (2012)
Journal Article
Kong, F., Yin, H., Nakagoshi, N., & James, P. (2012). Simulating urban growth processes incorporating a potential model with spatial metrics. Ecological Indicators, 20, 82-91. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolind.2012.02.003

Urbanization is one phenomena that drives land use pattern change. Persistent rapid urbanization is associated with depletion of natural resources and worsening conditions in the urban environment. Monitoring urban development is, therefore, an absol... Read More about Simulating urban growth processes incorporating a potential model with spatial metrics.

Design and design management in building projects : a review (2012)
Journal Article

Design is that activity, largely executed by consultants and inhouse disciplines, which translates the aspirations of the Client,
into a series of documents, both drawn and written, which in
combination can be used to procure the manufacture, as... Read More about Design and design management in building projects : a review.

Insurance issues and design and build construction contracts (2012)
Journal Article

One of the primary functions of a construction contract is to
allocate certain risks to one or other of the parties. One of the
parties is liable to the other if a particular kind of loss or damage
occurs placing all the risk of that loss or da... Read More about Insurance issues and design and build construction contracts.

Building information modelling (BIM) for facilities management (FM): The MediaCity case study approach (2012)
Journal Article

Facilities Management (FM) as the total management of all services supports the core businesses of an organisation in a building. However, today’s buildings are increasingly sophisticated and the need for information to operate and maintain them is v...

A role for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors in the immunopathology of schistosomiasis? (2012)
Journal Article
Anthony, B., Allen, J., Li, Y., & McManus, D. (2012). A role for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors in the immunopathology of schistosomiasis?. PPAR Research, 2012, 128068. https://doi.org/10.1155/2012/128068

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) have been demonstrated to have a role in immune regulation. In general, they are anti-inflammatory and promote Th2 type responses, and they are associated with the alternative activation of macropha...
