Case study of PV output power degradation rates in Oman (2018)
Journal Article

To meet the increase in peak electricity demand, reduce fossil fuel emissions in Oman, and as an initiative taken by the government, by 2030 15% (3000 MW) of the total energy mix (20,000 MW) should be generated from renewable energy resources. It is... Read More about Case study of PV output power degradation rates in Oman.

A Fluid Landscape (2018)
Book

In 'A Fluid Landscape' Amanda Harman explores the shifting landscape of the Somerset levels, an area which, once sea, has gradually become land through a succession of salt marsh, freshwater wetland and rich summer pasture. Human intervention has s... Read More about A Fluid Landscape.

Optimisation of lift to drag ratio for a wing in ground effect (2018)
Journal Article

This paper aims to investigate the effects of changing the shape of the aerofoil of the wing by changing its camber, thickness and maximum camber location to identify the design trends where the ground effect has the largest impact. Aircrafts have al... Read More about Optimisation of lift to drag ratio for a wing in ground effect.

Embracing uncertainty and shaping transport for Scotland’s future (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

A growing number of transport bodies are trying to make sense of how to inform and shape policymaking and investment in the face of deep uncertainty. Potentially disruptive transport technologies are only part of a more complex picture of societal ch... Read More about Embracing uncertainty and shaping transport for Scotland’s future.

Knowledge integration for low carbon transition: The case of energy retrofit (2018)
Journal Article

The Energy Retrofit concept plays an important role in the transition to low carbon cities, because buildings make a transdisciplinary perspective. Thus, an integrated approach to research, learning and teaching in the built environment di... Read More about Knowledge integration for low carbon transition: The case of energy retrofit.
