Optimised strategy by utilising BIM and set-based design : reinforced concrete slabs (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Bavafa, M., Kiviniemi, A., & Weekes, L. (2012, October). Optimised strategy by utilising BIM and set-based design : reinforced concrete slabs. Presented at Conseil International du Bâtiment (CIB) W078 2012 : 29th International Conference, Beirut, Lebanon

Considering the significant amount of material wasted in the construction industry there should be a
business case for companies to pay more attention to reducing waste, which would also have a major
impact on the environmental issues of the projec... Read More about Optimised strategy by utilising BIM and set-based design : reinforced concrete slabs.

Helmholtz bright spatial solitons and surface waves at power-law optical interfaces (2012)
Journal Article

We consider arbitrary-angle interactions between spatial solitons and the planar boundary between two optical materials with a single power-law nonlinear refractive index. Extensive analysis has uncovered a wide range of new qualitative phenomena in... Read More about Helmholtz bright spatial solitons and surface waves at power-law optical interfaces.

Power, Status and War: The Archaeology of the Castle in North West England. (2012)
Book Chapter

Buckton Castle is one of the least known, but most dramatically situated, castles in North West England. Its origins have been shrouded in mystery until quite recently, with tales of treasure and battles, but little in the way of hard fact. This mono...

This paper reports on the recent development of a physico-chemical model for the water retention characteristic of porous media and its application to the prediction of water vapour sorption isotherm of cementitious materials. This research aims to d... Read More about A physico-chemical model of the water vapour sorption isotherm of hardened cementitious materials.

The use of prospect theory framework in constrained multi-objective particle swarm optimisation (2012)
Thesis

Many practical problems in the real world nowadays can be formulated as constraint
single or multiple objective optimisation problems with constraints. Particle swarm
optimisation (PSO) is a population-based stochastic algorithm has been shown to b... Read More about The use of prospect theory framework in constrained multi-objective particle swarm optimisation.

The spatial and temporal ecology of the large mammal populations and vegetation of Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania (2012)
Thesis

Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania is a World Heritage Site and Biosphere Reserve and is
home to tens of thousands of large mammals. This study documents the historical ecology of
the crater from 1892 to 2012 based on an analysis of the published litera... Read More about The spatial and temporal ecology of the large mammal populations and vegetation of Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania.
