Current practice in the allocation of academic workloads (2007)
Journal Article
Barrett, L., & Barrett, P. (2007). Current practice in the allocation of academic workloads. Higher Education Quarterly, 61(4), 461-478. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1468-2273.2007.00367.x

Significant factors within UK higher education include explicit competition, regulatory demands and pressures to maintain student numbers despite tuition fee increases. Universities have responded by more actively managing finances and quality but se... Read More about Current practice in the allocation of academic workloads.

A generic framework for the development of standardised learning objects within the discipline of construction management (2007)
Journal Article
Ahmed, V., Aouad, G., & Pathmeswaran, R. (2007). A generic framework for the development of standardised learning objects within the discipline of construction management. Journal for Education in the Built Environment, 2(2), 115-135

E-learning has occurred in the academic world in different forms since the early 1990s. Its use varies from interactive multimedia tools and simulation environments to static resources within learning management systems. E-learning tools and environm...

An exploratory study of research and development in construction in the developing countries of the Middle East (2007)
Thesis

Research and Development (R&D) in construction in the developing
countries, particularly in the Middle East, is an under-researched area
worthy of attention and should be of particular interest due to the
expanding role of the construction industr... Read More about An exploratory study of research and development in construction in the developing countries of the Middle East.

A review of composite structures subjected to dynamic loading (2007)
Journal Article
Hampson, P., & Moatamedi, M. (2007). A review of composite structures subjected to dynamic loading. International Journal of Crashworthiness, 12(4), 411-428. https://doi.org/10.1080/13588260701483334

The following review of composite impact work summarises key research interests and provides a brief overview for the development of theoretical, experimental and numerical methods for low, high, and hyper velocity impact. Particular attention is giv... Read More about A review of composite structures subjected to dynamic loading.

Short-tailed stx phages exploit the conserved YaeT protein to disseminate shiga toxin genes among enterobacteria (2007)
Journal Article
Smith, D. L., James, C., Sergeant, M., Yaxian, Y., Saunders, J. R., McCarthy, A. J., & Allison, H. (2007). Short-tailed stx phages exploit the conserved YaeT protein to disseminate shiga toxin genes among enterobacteria. Journal of Bacteriology, 189, 7223-7233. https://doi.org/10.1128/JB.00824-07

Infection of Escherichia coli by Shiga toxin-encoding bacteriophages (Stx phages) was the pivotal event in the evolution of the deadly Shiga toxin-encoding E. coli (STEC), of which serotype O157:H7 is the most notorious. The number of different bacte... Read More about Short-tailed stx phages exploit the conserved YaeT protein to disseminate shiga toxin genes among enterobacteria.

Helmholtz solitons in power-law optical materials (2007)
Journal Article
Christian, J., McDonald, G., Potton, R., & Chamorro-Posada, P. (2007). Helmholtz solitons in power-law optical materials. Physical Review A, 76(3), 033834. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevA.76.033834

A nonlinear Helmholtz equation for optical materials with regimes of power-law type of nonlinearity is proposed. This model captures broad beam evolution at any angle with respect to the reference direction in a wide range of media, including some se...

A hybrid model with a weighted voting scheme for feature selection in machinery condition monitoring (2007)
Presentation / Conference
Zhang, K., Ball, A., Gu, F., & Li, Y. (2007, September). A hybrid model with a weighted voting scheme for feature selection in machinery condition monitoring. Presented at Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Conference on Automation Science and Engineering, Scottsdale, Arizona, USA

Feature selection method has become the focus of research in the area of engineering data processing where there exists a large amount of high-dimensional data from the high-frequency acquisition system. For high-dimensional data processing, engineer... Read More about A hybrid model with a weighted voting scheme for feature selection in machinery condition monitoring.
