Lateral load bearing capacity model for piles in cohesive soils (2014)
Book Chapter
Ahangar Asr, A., Javadi, A., Johari, A., & Chen, Y. (2014). Lateral load bearing capacity model for piles in cohesive soils. In A. Javadi, & M. Hussain (Eds.), Proceedings of the 22nd UK National Conference of the Association for Computational Mechanics in Engineering (264-267). University of Exeter

In this research work an evolutionary approach is proposed to develop a structured polynomial model for predicting the lateral load bearing capacity of piles in undrained conditions. The proposed polynomial regression technique is an evolutionary dat... Read More about Lateral load bearing capacity model for piles in cohesive soils.

Predictions of relative risks for dengue disease mapping in Malaysia based on stochastic SIR-SI vector-borne infectious disease transmission model (2014)
Book Chapter
Samat, N., & Percy, D. (2014). Predictions of relative risks for dengue disease mapping in Malaysia based on stochastic SIR-SI vector-borne infectious disease transmission model. In A. Kasim, W. Omar, N. Razak, N. Musa, R. Halim, & S. Mohamed (Eds.), Proceedings of the International Conference on Science, Technology and Social Sciences (ICSTSS) 2012 (399-404). Singapore: Springer

The main aim of this paper is to propose a procedure for predicting relative risk in order to suggest approximate future dengue disease progression patterns for Malaysia. Firstly, we discuss the posterior predictive distributions that are used to gen...

Formative, andragogic, interactive reflection (fair) assessment tool : A development project addressing transferrable learning recognition from open life-wide co-operative engagements (2014)
Book Chapter

Current economic problems have reinforced the already strong sense of uncertainty and risk associated with the end of classic models of public education; potentially limiting opportunities and educational access to the detriment of social trajectorie...

Fans and enthusiasts (2014)
Book Chapter

This contribution classifies audiences into consumers, fans, cultists and enthusiasts and petty producers. It is derived from Abercrombie and Longhurst (1998) Audiences: A Sociological Theory of Performance and Imagination, London: sage.

Conversation analysis and electronic interactions : methodological, analytic and technical considerations (2014)
Book Chapter

This chapter proposes that, as a method which has engaged with interaction in other contexts, conversation analysis (CA) should be used to analyze electronic interactions. The adoption of CA leads to a number of methodological pointers and this chapt...

Towards interoperability in the UK construction design industry (2014)
Book Chapter
Bavafa, M. (2014). Towards interoperability in the UK construction design industry. In R. Issa Issa, & I. Flood (Eds.), Computing in Civil and Building Engineering (528-535). American Society of Civil Engineering. https://doi.org/10.1061/9780784413616.066

The construction design industry involves multiple stakeholders who may
carry out their job from widely distributed locations. Therefore, the interaction
between those participants is often the cause of mistakes and misunderstandings due
to a lack... Read More about Towards interoperability in the UK construction design industry.

Reconfigurable and deployable platonic mechanisms with a variable revolute joint (2014)
Book Chapter
Wei, G., & Dai, J. (2014). Reconfigurable and deployable platonic mechanisms with a variable revolute joint. In J. Lenarčič, & O. Khatib (Eds.), Advances in Robot Kinematics (485-495). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-06698-1_50

This chapter presents for the first time a variable revolute joint and a group of reconfigurable and deployable Platonic mechanisms. Structure of the variable revolute joint is presented and demonstrated by its application to the construction of a re...

Cost-Sensitive Bayesian Network Learning Using Sampling (2014)
Book Chapter
Nashnush, E., & Vadera, S. (2014). Cost-Sensitive Bayesian Network Learning Using Sampling. In Recent Advances on Soft Computing and Data Mining (467-476). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-07692-8_44

A significant advance in recent years has been the development of cost-sensitive decision tree learners, recognising that real world classification problems need to take account of costs of misclassification and not just focus on accuracy. The litera... Read More about Cost-Sensitive Bayesian Network Learning Using Sampling.

Reliability equivalence factors for a series-parallel system assuming an exponentiated weibull distribution (2014)
Book Chapter
Alghamdi, S., & Percy, D. (2014). Reliability equivalence factors for a series-parallel system assuming an exponentiated weibull distribution. In S. Wu (Ed.), Proceedings of 8th IMA International Conference on Modelling in Industrial Maintenance and Reliability. Institute of Mathematics and its Applications

In this study, we discuss the reliability equivalence factors of a series-parallel system with n series
subsystems connected in parallel where subsystem i has m(i) independent and identically distributed components. We assume that each component has... Read More about Reliability equivalence factors for a series-parallel system assuming an exponentiated weibull distribution.
