Development of a framework of critical success factors (CSFs) for effective integrated design team delivery in Malaysian IBS projects (2012)
Thesis

Malaysia, like any other developing country, considers the construction industry as one of the main
contributors to its Gross Domestic Product (GDP). It is currently facing a housing shortfall crisis. Due to
the combination of infamous problems ass... Read More about Development of a framework of critical success factors (CSFs) for effective integrated design team delivery in Malaysian IBS projects.

Developing recreational trails : motivations for recreational walking (2012)
Journal Article
Davies, N., Lumsdon, L., & Weston, R. (2012). Developing recreational trails : motivations for recreational walking. Tourism Planning and Development, 9(1), 77-88. https://doi.org/10.1080/21568316.2012.653480

This paper seeks to explore the motivations and preferences of recreational walkers in near-urban areas and the implications for trail development. A qualitative focus group method was employed in order to generate open discussion amongst recreationa... Read More about Developing recreational trails : motivations for recreational walking.

Annoyance due to railway vibration at different times of the day (2012)
Journal Article
Peris, E., Woodcock, J., Sica, G., Moorhouse, A., & Waddington, D. (2012). Annoyance due to railway vibration at different times of the day. ˜The œJournal of the Acoustical Society of America (Online), 131(2), 191-196. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.3679390

The time of day when vibration occurs is considered as a factor influencing the human response to vibration. The aim of the present paper is to identify the times of day during which railway vibration causes the greatest annoyance, to measure the dif...

Organizational cultures: Obstacles to women in the UK construction industry (2012)
Journal Article
Worrall, L. (2012). Organizational cultures: Obstacles to women in the UK construction industry. Journal of Psychological Issues in Organizational Culture, 2(4), 6-21. https://doi.org/10.1002/jpoc.20088

The global economic downturn coupled with recent changes in UK law have led to a sizable reduction in public sector funding. As a result, both public and private sector organizations are under greater pressure to provide evidence of their activities...

Optimum quantum dot size for highly efficient fluorescence bioimaging (2012)
Journal Article

Semiconductor quantum dots of few nanometers have demonstrated a great potential for bioimaging. The size determines the emitted color, but it is also expected to play an important role in the image brightness. In this work, the size dependence of th...

Comparative thermal response of internally and externally insulated houses (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Ji, Y., & Webster, P. (2012, January). Comparative thermal response of internally and externally insulated houses. Presented at Retrofit 2012, The Lowry, Salford Quays, UK

When retrofitting older properties with solid outer walls additional insulation if required has to be added to the inner or outer surfaces of the outer wall. The choice and viability of either of these solutions is largely determined by cost, appeara... Read More about Comparative thermal response of internally and externally insulated houses.

Helmholtz bright and black soliton splitting at nonlinear interfaces (2012)
Journal Article
Sanchez-Curto, J., Chamorro-Posada, P., & McDonald, G. (2012). Helmholtz bright and black soliton splitting at nonlinear interfaces. Physical Review A, 85, https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevA.85.013836

Soliton breakup occurring at the planar boundary separating two Kerr focusing and defocusing media is analyzed within the framework of the Helmholtz theory where the full angular content of the problem is preserved. We show that the number of soliton... Read More about Helmholtz bright and black soliton splitting at nonlinear interfaces.
