An efficient dual-time implicit method for high-lift aerodynamics using differential Reynolds-stress modelling (2007)
Presentation / Conference
Jahangirian, A., & Johnston, L. (2007, July). An efficient dual-time implicit method for high-lift aerodynamics using differential Reynolds-stress modelling. Presented at 2nd European Conference for AeroSpace Sciences, Brussels, Belgium

A method to compute the aerodynamics of multi-element aerofoil, high-lift systems is outlined. The Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations are solved using an unstructured-grid approach, together with a finite-volume spatial discretisation and a du...

The evaluation of camera motion, defocusing and noise immunity for linear appearance based methods in face recognition (2007)
Presentation / Conference
Hajiarbabi, M., Askari, J., Sadri, S., & Saraee, M. (2007, July). The evaluation of camera motion, defocusing and noise immunity for linear appearance based methods in face recognition. Presented at World Congress on Engineering 2007 Vol I WCE 2007, July 2 - 4, 2007, London, U.K, London, U.K

Face recognition has assigned a special place to itself because of its low intrusiveness, low cost and effort and acceptable accuracy. There are several methods for recognition and appearance based methods is one of the most popular one. Unfortunatel...

Intranets in large construction organisations : exploring advancements, capabilities and barriers (2007)
Journal Article
Ingirige, B., & Sexton, M. (2007). Intranets in large construction organisations : exploring advancements, capabilities and barriers

The role of Intranets has changed significantly from a passive role of providing company information to its employees to a more dynamic role to share and capture knowledge. A review of the literature on Intranets reveals that some companies leverage... Read More about Intranets in large construction organisations : exploring advancements, capabilities and barriers.

The 24-hour city : residents' sensorial experiences (2007)
Journal Article
Adams, M., Moore, G., Cox, T., Croxford, B., Refaee, M., & Sharples, S. (2007). The 24-hour city : residents' sensorial experiences. https://doi.org/10.2752/174589307X203092

The concept of the 24-hour city evokes vibrancy and a dynamic that suggests the harmonious coexistence of mixed land uses which might otherwise be considered improbable neighbors. In reality we see a 24-hour city full of diverse uses, needs and requi... Read More about The 24-hour city : residents' sensorial experiences.

Progress through partnership: how do industry and UK higher education built environment courses work collaboratively? (2007)
