Developing a pavement condition assessment method for unpaved roads using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). (2025)
Journal Article

Approximately 95% of the total road network in Uganda is unpaved, and this heavy reliance on unpaved roads is predominant in most developing countries in the world. Consistent monitoring and evaluation of the condition of these unpaved roads is cruci...

D4.3 Systematic review and framework for testing unmanned aircraft systems noise impact on humans and wildlife (2025)
Report

This report documents systematic reviews of research evidence on the effects of exposure to sound from Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) on humans and wildlife (specifically birds).

The reviews have been undertaken according to methodologies based o... Read More about D4.3 Systematic review and framework for testing unmanned aircraft systems noise impact on humans and wildlife.

Thermal Imaging in Building Diagnostics: A Systematic Review of Applications, Challenges, and Opportunities (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Thermal imaging, or infrared thermography, has become an indispensable tool in the building sector for non-invasive energy efficiency assessments, particularly for detecting heat loss, thermal bridging, and insulation defects. This paper presents a s... Read More about Thermal Imaging in Building Diagnostics: A Systematic Review of Applications, Challenges, and Opportunities.

A systematic quality evaluation of public participation in Environmental Impact Statements (EIS): Reflecting on practice in Nigeria (2025)
Journal Article

Infrastructure development is vital for economic growth but often leads to negative environmental, social, and public health impacts. The Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), produced during the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process, is crit...

Build your blood (2025)
Other

“Build your blood” is a hands-on activity which can be easily adapted for public engagement and outreach events.

In this activity, children create their own blood sample using beads, glitter/confetti, and tissue paper to represent red and white bl... Read More about Build your blood.

Unlocking the secrets of Cardiovascular Disease: A DNA code adventure for public engagement and outreach events (2025)
Other

Genetics play a key role in cardiovascular disease, but this is often challenging to explain at outreach and/or public engagement events.

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic condition which affects 1 in 250 people, and patients typical... Read More about Unlocking the secrets of Cardiovascular Disease: A DNA code adventure for public engagement and outreach events.

Electro-osmotically Modulated Viscoelastic SWCNT-Blood Flow in Symmetric/Nonsymmetric Stenosed Arteries with Heat Generation using a Fractional Second Grade Model (2025)
Journal Article

This study examines the electro-osmotically modulated viscoelastic blood flow in arteries with both symmetric and non-symmetric stenosis, accounting for heat generation and thermal buoyancy effects. Blood is modelled as a fractional second-grade flui...

The effects of time-variant characteristics of unmanned aircraft system noise on reported annoyance (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Flight missions of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) are inherently unsteady due to the complex interactions between the environment (e.g., wind conditions) and the operative flight control system. These interactions result in the unsteadiness of the a... Read More about The effects of time-variant characteristics of unmanned aircraft system noise on reported annoyance.

On-field measurements following the EASA guidelines on noise measurements of unmanned aircraft systems lighter that 600 kg (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) have gained increasing attention, leading to the development of noise measurement protocols, such as the 2023 guidelines from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). These guidelines focus on noise measuremen... Read More about On-field measurements following the EASA guidelines on noise measurements of unmanned aircraft systems lighter that 600 kg.
