Implications of climate change and occupant behaviour on future energy demand in a zero carbon house (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The Birmingham Zero Carbon House is a retrofitted Victorian house that has achieved carbon negative performance. Future predictions of temperatures are showing an increase in Cooling Degree Days (CCD), even under a low carbon emissions scenario. This...

A scenario-based analysis of building energy performance (2013)
Journal Article
Caputo, S., Caserio, M., Coles, R., Jankovic, L., & Gaterell, M. (2013). A scenario-based analysis of building energy performance. Proceedings of the ICE - Urban Design and Planning, 166, 326--348. https://doi.org/10.1680/udap.12.00008

Inherent to the sustainability discourse is concern about the long-term future. If sustainable, cities must deliver positive benefits over their possibly long lifetime. Yet in formulating guidance and negotiating design choices for urban development,... Read More about A scenario-based analysis of building energy performance.

Hybrid Artificial Bee Colony algorithm and simulated annealing algorithm for combined economic and emission dispatch including valve point effect (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

For economic and efficient operation of power system optimal scheduling of generators in order to minimize fuel cost of generating units and its emission is a major consideration. This paper presents hybrid approach of using Artificial Bee Colony (AB...

Correlates of red throat coloration in female stickleback and their potential evolutionary significance (2013)
Journal Article
Yong, L., Guo, R., Wright, D. S., Mears, S. A., Pierotti, M. E., & McKinnon, J. S. (2013). Correlates of red throat coloration in female stickleback and their potential evolutionary significance. Evolutionary Ecology Research, 15, 453-472

Background: In two stream-resident populations of threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus), females often exhibit male-typical red throat coloration. These fish inhabit the Little Campbell River (British Columbia) and Matadero Creek (Californi...

Shoulder joint position sense in injured and noninjured judo athletes (2013)
Journal Article
May Green, C., Comfort, P., & Herrington, L. (2013). Shoulder joint position sense in injured and noninjured judo athletes. International Journal of Athletic Therapy and Training, 18(2), 29-33. https://doi.org/10.1123/ijatt.18.2.29

Context:
A reduction in joint position sense (JPS) is sometimes a consequence of shoulder injury that may adversely affect the ability to maintain dynamic joint stability.

Objective:
To compare shoulder JPS between previously injured and noninju... Read More about Shoulder joint position sense in injured and noninjured judo athletes.

Silicon nanophotonic devices for chip-scale optical communication applications [Invited] (2013)
Journal Article
Fainman, Y., Nezhad, M., Tan, D., Ikeda, K., Bondarenko, O., & Grieco, A. (2013). Silicon nanophotonic devices for chip-scale optical communication applications [Invited]. Applied Optics, 52(4), 613-624. https://doi.org/10.1364/AO.52.000613

This paper reviews recent work in the area of silicon photonic devices and circuits for monolithic and heterogeneous integration of circuits and systems on a chip. In this context, it presents fabrication results for producing low-loss silicon wavegu... Read More about Silicon nanophotonic devices for chip-scale optical communication applications [Invited].

The effect of unstable sandals on single-leg standing (2013)
Journal Article
Price, C., Smith, L., Graham-Smith, P., & Jones, R. (2013). The effect of unstable sandals on single-leg standing. Footwear Science, 5(3), 147-154. https://doi.org/10.1080/19424280.2013.790487

Purpose: Unstable footwear lacks peer-review published research to support concepts and claims. The present study was therefore undertaken to quantify and compare the effect of commercially available unstable sandals on single-leg balance in a health...
