A three-dimensional finite element analysis of temperature distribution in hot mix asphalt pothole repairs (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Byzyka, J., Rahman, M., & Chamberlain, D. (2017, June). A three-dimensional finite element analysis of temperature distribution in hot mix asphalt pothole repairs. Presented at BCRRA 2017 - Tenth International Conference on the Bearing Capacity of Roads, Railways and Airfields, Athens, Greece

The reported research focuses on the problematic lack of durability in executedpotholerepairs, much of which arises from inadequate heating of the host pavement during the repair process.

The distribution of activPAL postural and stepping classifications within ActiGraph activity classifications (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Clarke-Cornwell, A., Cook, P., & Granat, M. (2017, June). The distribution of activPAL postural and stepping classifications within ActiGraph activity classifications. Presented at International Conference on Ambulatory Monitoring of Physical Activity and Movement, Bethesda, USA

Objective: Guidelines of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour (SB) are dependent on how we define and quantify physical behaviour. It is therefore important to understand the validity of objective measures of PA and SB. This study aimed to...

An investigation into the effect of lower limb exercise programme on objectively measured physical activity in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Molyneux, J., Herrington, L., Clarke-Cornwell, A., & Jones, R. (2017, June). An investigation into the effect of lower limb exercise programme on objectively measured physical activity in individuals with knee osteoarthritis. Poster presented at International Conference on Ambulatory Monitoring of Physical Activity and Movement, Bethesda, USA

Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the leading causes of pain and disability. Exercise has been recommended as a core treatment for OA. Previous studies have shown that adults with symptomatic knee OA take between 4000-6700 steps per day, which is less th...
