The capability of traditional and modern creep lifing methods to predict long-term creep properties (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The ability to predict the stress-rupture behaviour of high temperature components is of paramount importance in both power generation and aerospace applications. Historically, the power law-based techniques such as the Larson-Miller, Manson-Haferd a...

Cost effective node deployment strategy for energy-balanced and delay-efficient data collection in wireless sensor networks (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2014 IEEE. The real-world node deployment aspect is investigated, while considering cost minimization for resolving the energy hole around the sink, which represents a serious problem in typical sensor networks with uniform distribution. A novel st... Read More about Cost effective node deployment strategy for energy-balanced and delay-efficient data collection in wireless sensor networks.

Intertwined medium access scheduling of upstream and downstream traffic in wireless sensor networks (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2014 IEEE. In wireless sensor networks, the sensor data are often aggregated en-route to the base-station in order to eliminate redundancy and conserve the network resources. The basestation not only acts as a destination for the upstream data traf... Read More about Intertwined medium access scheduling of upstream and downstream traffic in wireless sensor networks.

Designing reusable systems that can handle change- description-driven systems: Revisiting object-oriented principles (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In the age of the Cloud and so-called Big Data systems must be increasingly flexible, reconfigurable and adaptable to change in addition to being developed rapidly. As a consequence, designing systems to cater for evolution is becoming critical to th...

Influence of drying-rewetting events on the response of soil microbial functions to biochar (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Biochar application has been shown to positively affect soil microbial functions such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing water/nutrient availability and increasing crop yields in tropical regions (Lehmann & Joseph, 2009). Understanding... Read More about Influence of drying-rewetting events on the response of soil microbial functions to biochar.

But what about the rapists? (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Sexual Violence is endemic and a serious social problem. The paper asks a simple question and sets out the respective responses of firstly the criminal justice system and secondly abolitionist thought.

The audience is invited to make up its own mi... Read More about But what about the rapists?.
