Understanding age variations in the migrant mortality advantage: An international comparative perspective (2018)
Journal Article
Guillot, M., Khlat, M., Elo, I. T., Solignac, M., & Wallace, M. (2018). Understanding age variations in the migrant mortality advantage: An international comparative perspective. PloS one, https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0199669

This paper investigates age variations in foreign-born vs. native-born mortality ratios in an international comparative perspective, with the purpose of gaining insight into the mechanisms underlying the so-called migrant mortality advantage. We exam... Read More about Understanding age variations in the migrant mortality advantage: An international comparative perspective.

Significant Factors Influencing Operational and Maintenance (O&M) Costs of Commercial Buildings (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Geekiyanage, D., & Ramachandra, T. (2018, June). Significant Factors Influencing Operational and Maintenance (O&M) Costs of Commercial Buildings. Paper presented at The 7th World Construction Symposium 2018, Colombo, Sri Lanka

Usually, the costs incurred during the operational phase of a building are much greater than the initial construction cost. Amongst, the running cost of a typical commercial building varies between 70-80% of its
total LCC depending on its determinan... Read More about Significant Factors Influencing Operational and Maintenance (O&M) Costs of Commercial Buildings.

Wetlands for wastewater treatment and subsequent recycling of treated effluent : a review (2018)
Journal Article
Almuktar, S., Abed, S., & Scholz, M. (2018). Wetlands for wastewater treatment and subsequent recycling of treated effluent : a review. Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 25(24), 23595-23623. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11356-018-2629-3

Due to water scarcity challenges around the world, it is essential to think about non-conventional water resources to address the increased demand in clean freshwater. Environmental and public health problems may result from insufficient provision of... Read More about Wetlands for wastewater treatment and subsequent recycling of treated effluent : a review.

Can greater use be made of employer feedback on curriculum content and design to enhance graduate employability? (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Malone, N. (2018, June). Can greater use be made of employer feedback on curriculum content and design to enhance graduate employability?. Paper presented at 2018 SOLSTICE and CLT conference, Edge Hill University, Ormskirk

Employability is considered important by academics and policy makers, often because it “will foster the learning outcomes that employers value” (Knight and Yorke, 2003; 1) and also because the labour market is intensely competitive (Greatbatch and Le...

Beer supply running dry as C02 shortage bites (2018)
Journal Article
Owens, J. (2018). Beer supply running dry as C02 shortage bites

Shortages of CO2 have led to beer sales being rationed and companies such as Heineken saying production of some of its brands had been hit. Coca Cola has even had production problems.

The effect of lattice damage and annealing conditions on the hyperfine structure of ion implanted bismuth donors in silicon (2018)
Journal Article

This study reports on high energy bismuth ion implantation into silicon with a particular emphasis on the effect that annealing conditions have on the observed hyperfine structure of the Si:Bi donor state. A suppression of donor bound exciton, D0X, p... Read More about The effect of lattice damage and annealing conditions on the hyperfine structure of ion implanted bismuth donors in silicon.

Methods for the real-world evaluation of fall detection technology : a scoping review (2018)
Journal Article
