The Aeolus project : science outreach through art (2013)
Journal Article
Drumm, I., Belantara, A., Dorney, S., Waters, T., & Peris, E. (2015). The Aeolus project : science outreach through art. Public Understanding of Science, 24(3), 375-385. https://doi.org/10.1177/0963662513501741

With a general decline in people’s choosing to pursue science and engineering degrees there has never been a greater need to raise the awareness of lesser known fields such as acoustics. Given this context, a large-scale public engagement project, th... Read More about The Aeolus project : science outreach through art.

Interoperability in semi-intelligent civil engineering agent (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Bavafa, M., & Kiviniemi, A. (2013, October). Interoperability in semi-intelligent civil engineering agent. Presented at Proceedings of the CIB W78 2013: 30th International Conference, Beijing, China

Design process in the construction industry involves multiple stakeholders who may carry out their tasks in widely distributed locations. Therefore the interaction between those participants is often the cause of mistakes and misunderstandings and so... Read More about Interoperability in semi-intelligent civil engineering agent.

Wire-in-tube structure fabricated by single capillary electrospinning via nanoscale Kirkendall effect: the case of nickel–zinc ferrite (2013)
Journal Article

Wire-in-tube structures have previously been prepared using an electrospinning method by means of tuning hydrolysis/alcoholysis of a precursor solution. Nickel–zinc ferrite (Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4) nanowire-in-nanotubes have been prepared as a demonstration...

Experimental work involving large-scale physical models of backfilled masonry arch bridges is being undertaken to examine the behaviour of these structures under cyclic loading regimes. The aim of this research is to better understand the relationshi... Read More about Physical modelling of cyclically loaded masonry arch bridges.

The need for alternative research approaches in construction management : the case of delay studies (2013)
Journal Article
Alsehaimi, A., Koskela, L., & Tzortzopoulos Fazenda, P. (2013). The need for alternative research approaches in construction management : the case of delay studies. Journal of Management in Engineering, 29(4), 407-413. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28ASCE%29ME.1943-5479.0000148

Over the years, there have been many studies of delay in construction, and this type of study continues to be popular in construction management research. A synthesis and critical evaluation of delay studies in developing countries reveals that poor...

Changes in perspectives of the values and benefits of nature (2013)
Thesis
Smith, D. Changes in perspectives of the values and benefits of nature. (Thesis). University of Salford

Social-ecological systems describe interactions between humans and nature. The ecosystem approach provides a holistic system to manage and understand these interactions, and to maintain and enhance ecosystem services - the benefits nature provides to...

Farewell to the bottle trap? An evaluation of aquatic funnel traps for great crested newt surveys (Triturus cristatus) (2013)
Journal Article
funnel traps for great crested newt surveys (Triturus cristatus). Herpetological journal, 23(4), 241-244

Aquatic funnel traps are an established technique for the capture of newts. In the United Kingdom they are widely used for commercial surveys of great crested newts (Triturus cristatus) to comply with EU regulations during land developments such as c...

Independent component analysis for motion artifacts removal from electrocardiogram (2013)
Journal Article
Sarfraz, M., & Li, F. (2013). Independent component analysis for motion artifacts removal from electrocardiogram. Global perspectives on artificial intelligence (Online), 1(4), 49-55

A method of using Independent Component Analysis to remove motion induced artifacts in the signals picked up by ECG electrodes is developed in this paper. In a first aid setting, ECG electrodes on patients cannot always keep stationary, resulting in... Read More about Independent component analysis for motion artifacts removal from electrocardiogram.

An ultra-low leakage current single carbon nanotube diode with split-gate and asymmetric contact geometry (2013)
Journal Article
Hughes, M., Homewood, K., Curry, R., & Ohno, Y. (2013). An ultra-low leakage current single carbon nanotube diode with split-gate and asymmetric contact geometry. Applied Physics Letters, 103(13), 133508. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4823602

A single carbon nanotube diode is reported, with Ti and Pd contacts, and split gates. Without gate bias the device displays strong rectification, with a leakage current (I0) of 6 × 10−16 A, and an ideality factor (η) of 1.38. When the gate above the...
