Mapping participatory methods in the urban development process : a systematic review and case-based evidence analysis (2021)
Journal Article
Hemba Geekiyanage, M., Fernando, T., & Keraminiyage, K. (2021). Mapping participatory methods in the urban development process : a systematic review and case-based evidence analysis. Sustainability, 13(16), e8992. https://doi.org/10.3390/su13168992

Despite the fact that vulnerable communities are the most affected by unplanned cities, considerably less attention has been given to involving them in urban development in order to ensure equitable outcomes. In this regard, there is an urgent need f... Read More about Mapping participatory methods in the urban development process : a systematic review and case-based evidence analysis.

Shark and ray trade in and out of Indonesia : addressing knowledge gaps on the path to sustainability (2021)
Journal Article

Indonesian marine resources are among the richest on the planet, sustaining highly diverse fisheries. These fisheries include the largest shark and ray landings in the world, making Indonesia one of the world’s largest exporters of elasmobranch produ...

If the Only Tool You Have Is a Hammer, You Will Treat Everything as a Nail: Exploring Why Construction Contractors Monetise Social Value (2021)
Journal Article
Watts, G., & Higham, A. (2021). If the Only Tool You Have Is a Hammer, You Will Treat Everything as a Nail: Exploring Why Construction Contractors Monetise Social Value. Journal of Leadership Accountability and Ethics, 18(3), https://doi.org/10.33423/jlae.v18i3.4405

The need to measure and communicate Social Value (SV) is now a priority for many construction contractors. However, this can prove difficult as there exists a conflict at the heart of SV between its subjective nature and the objective way SV is often...

Managing non‐functional requirements in agile software development (2021)
Journal Article
Rahy, S., & Bass, J. (2022). Managing non‐functional requirements in agile software development. IET Software, 16(1), 60-72. https://doi.org/10.1049/sfw2.12037

Non‐functional requirements define qualities of the software system that ensure effectiveness while embedding any constraints and restrictions on the design. A challenge rises with agile implementation in handling non‐function requirements in regulat... Read More about Managing non‐functional requirements in agile software development.

Hygrothermal effects on the translaminar fracture toughness of a highly toughened aerospace CFRP: Experimental characterisation and model prediction (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The translaminar fracture toughness of wet (fully saturated) and dry (as manufactured) IM7/8552 laminates was measured using compact tension tests. Cross-ply ([90/0]8S) and quasi-isotropic ([90/45/0/-45]4S) laminates were tested at three different te...

Assessment of hypertension association with arsenic exposure from food and drinking water in Bihar, India (2021)
Journal Article

Epidemiological studies have associated chronic exposure to arsenic (As) from drinking water with increased risk of hypertension. However, evidence of an association between As exposure from food and hypertension risks is sparse. To quantify the asso...

An integrative analysis uncovers a new, pseudo-cryptic species of Amazonian marmoset (Primates: Callitrichidae: Mico) from the arc of deforestation (2021)
Journal Article

Amazonia has the richest primate fauna in the world. Nonetheless, the diversity and distribution of Amazonian primates remain little known and the scarcity of baseline data challenges their conservation. These challenges are especially acute in the A...

Thesis
Usman, M. Exploiting available domain knowledge to improve the retrieval and recommendation of Digital Cultural Heritage materials. (Thesis). University of Salford

Cultural Heritage (CH) institutions, such as museums, have recently embraced computing techniques to digitise CH materials (artefacts, paintings, books etc) and to make accessible those digital representations through their online portals to millions...

A conceptual framework for sharing knowledge and information between facility management/operations and building design teams (2021)
Thesis
Long, P. A conceptual framework for sharing knowledge and information between facility management/operations and building design teams. (Thesis). University of Salford

It is generally accepted that decisions made in early design phases significantly impact the quality of a built project. However, much of the information necessary to assess the validity of early design decisions is not available until later in a pro...
