Surveying practice involvement in providing vocational skills training for undergraduate building surveyors : the ICZ way (2018)
Journal Article
building surveyors : the ICZ way. Journal of Building Survey, Appraisal and Valuation, 7(1), 85-92

The paper starts from a documented premise of there being a critical shortage of skilled building surveyors. It also uses a researched premise that all stakeholders to building surveying education favour the incorporation of vocational skills tra...

Cold War Nostalgia in The Game (2018)
Journal Article
Barnett, N. (2018). Cold War Nostalgia in The Game. Journal of British Cinema and Television, 15(3), 436-452. https://doi.org/10.3366/jbctv.2018.0431

This article explores how nostalgia for both the Cold War and the 1970s became a key feature of the BBC drama The Game (2014). It argues that the serial situated the Cold War as a more stable era in international relations in which the enemy played b... Read More about Cold War Nostalgia in The Game.

Comparing the bacterial communities of wild and captive golden mantella frogs: Implications for amphibian conservation (2018)
Journal Article
Passos, L., Garcia, G., & Young, R. (2018). Comparing the bacterial communities of wild and captive golden mantella frogs: Implications for amphibian conservation. PLoS ONE, 13(10), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0205652

Bacterial communities are frequently found in symbiotic associations with most animal species. The characteristically moist amphibian skin provides a good environment for the growth of some species of bacteria; among these a few can act as a first li...

Comparison of performance of simplified RANS formulations for velocity distributions against full 3D RANS model (2018)
Journal Article
Alawadi, W., & Prasad, T. (2018). Comparison of performance of simplified RANS formulations for velocity distributions against full 3D RANS model. International journal of hydraulic engineering (Online), 7(2), 33-42. https://doi.org/10.5923/j.ijhe.20180702.03

Several analytical models of velocity distribution for turbulent uniform open channel flows were lately developed by analysis and simplification of the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations (RANS). These simplified RANS-based models, which are ca... Read More about Comparison of performance of simplified RANS formulations for velocity distributions against full 3D RANS model.
