Study of nano-particle deposition in tubular pipes under turbulent condition
Presentation / Conference Contribution
This paper aims to study the deposition and dispersion of nano-particles in turbulent tubular
pipe flows. In this work, the Eulerian-Lagrangian particle tracking method is used to simulate the
transport of nano-particles in turbulent flows under th... Read More about Study of nano-particle deposition in tubular pipes under turbulent condition.
Universities and festivals : cultural production in context
Thesis
This thesis critically examines universities as cultural producers within the creative ecologies of their cities, with a focus on the occasions when they produce cultural events for the public. It is a context-specific and empirical study that examin... Read More about Universities and festivals : cultural production in context.
VPCH : a consistent hashing algorithm for better load balancing in a hadoop environment
Book Chapter
MapReduce (MR) is a popular programming model for the purposes of processing large data sets among data clusters or grids, e.g. a Hadoop environment. Load balancing as a key factor affecting the performance of map resource distribution, has recently...

A smart speculative execution strategy based on node classification for heterogeneous Hadoop systems
Book Chapter
MapReduce (MR) has been widely used to process distributed large data sets. Meanwhile, speculative execution is known as an approach for dealing with same problems by backing up those tasks running on a low performance machine to a higher one. In thi...

Review of risk factors for human echinococcosis prevalence on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China: a prospective for control options
Journal Article
Objective: Echinococcosis is a major parasitic zoonosis of public health importance in western China. In 2004, the Chinese Ministry of Health estimated that 380,000 people had the disease in the region. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is highly co-endemic...

Future for offshore wind energy in the United Kingdom: The way forward
Journal Article
The majority of our energy demand is satisfied by the combustion of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil and gas. This has resulted in our fossil fuel resources being vastly reduced and has increased the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere which is c...

Determination of p53 role in cancer biology and therapy through interactome development and analysis
Thesis
Cancer is a heterogeneous pathology of cell and tissue type, involving multi- dysregulation of pathways that govern fundamental cellular processes. Chemotherapy efficacy is highly affected by these molecular deviations and the majority of patients ar...

Data Management for Integrated Supply Chains in Construction
Book Chapter
In his report 1962 Sir Harold Emmerson, referring to the construction industry, commented, “In no other important industry in the world is the responsibility for design so far removed from the responsibility for production”. Whilst it is true that th... Read More about Data Management for Integrated Supply Chains in Construction.

An exploration of approaches to risk management applications within UK construction projects
Book Chapter
Risk Management (RM) is now widely accepted as an important tool in the management of projects. Through a series of semi-structured interviews with RM facilitators the trends and approaches to the practical application of RM are explored. The finding...

Drainage benefits of porous, permeable and pervious paving
Book Chapter
The fundamental purpose of all permeable paving systems (PPSs) is to allow stormwater to infiltrate slowly, to be stored in its structure and then allowed to be conveyed elsewhere in association with the sustainable drainage system (SUDS). This chapt... Read More about Drainage benefits of porous, permeable and pervious paving.
The sound book: The science of the sonic wonders of the world
Book
Trevor Cox is on a hunt for the sonic wonders of the world. A renowned expert who engineers classrooms and concert halls, Cox has made a career of eradicating bizarre and unwanted sounds. But after an epiphany in the London sewers, Cox now revels in... Read More about The sound book: The science of the sonic wonders of the world.

Enhanced sputtering yields from single-ion impacts on gold nanorods
Journal Article
Sputtering yields, enhanced by more than an order of magnitude, have been observed for 80 keV Xe ion irradiation of monocrystalline Au nanorods. Yields are in the range 100-1900 atoms/ion compared with values for a flat surface of ≈50. This enhanceme... Read More about Enhanced sputtering yields from single-ion impacts on gold nanorods.
