A blow-up dichotomy for semilinear fractional heat equations (2020)
Journal Article

We derive a blow-up dichotomy for positive solutions of fractional semilinear heat equations on the whole space. That is, within a certain class of convex source terms, we establish a necessary and sufficient condition on the source for all positive...

Putting users at the centre of MaaS (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The rapid emergence of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) into the transport sector’s lexicon has brought with it an air of expectation that suggests a future mobility revolution. The authors take an action-oriented approach putting MaaS theory into practi... Read More about Putting users at the centre of MaaS.

Development of design criteria for novel 3D-printed quadric-surfaced sludge digesters for wastewater infrastructure (2020)
Thesis

The quadric-surfaced sludge digester (QSD), also known as the egg-shaped sludge digester, has proven its advantages over traditional cylindrical digesters recently. A reduction in operational cost is the dominant factor. Its shell can be described as...

Towards an automated photogrammetry-based approach for monitoring and controlling construction site activities (2020)
Thesis

The construction industry has a poor productivity record, which was predominantly ascribed to inadequate monitoring of how a project is progressing at any given time. Most available approaches do not offer key stakeholders a shared understanding of p...

What is urban nature and how do we perceive it? (2020)
Book Chapter

This chapter discusses the complexities and apparent contradictions in defining ‘nature’ and ‘urban nature’ in the context of human-nature interactions. It explains why urban nature is so important to human health and well-being at this point in the... Read More about What is urban nature and how do we perceive it?.

Defining strawberry shape uniformity using 3D imaging and genetic mapping (2020)
Journal Article

Strawberry shape uniformity is a complex trait, influenced by multiple genetic and environmental components. To complicate matters further, the phenotypic assessment of strawberry uniformity is confounded by the difficulty of quantifying geometric pa...

An investigation into the use of bamboo as reinforcement in concrete (2020)
Thesis

The behaviour of bamboo reinforced concrete is not well understood and the methods proposed for its design suffers from problems that can result in an overly conservative design in some situations and unconservative designs in others. This investigat... Read More about An investigation into the use of bamboo as reinforcement in concrete.

Walking as a service – Does it have legs? (2020)
Journal Article

Amidst the hype and prospects offered by technological innovation for shaping the future of mobility, it can be easy to overlook the humble and enduring place and potential of walking as a means of movement in our mobility system. Yet walking may alr... Read More about Walking as a service – Does it have legs?.

Implementation of Building Information Modelling in the Dominican Republic construction industry (2020)
Thesis

The Dominican Republic (D.R.) is a Caribbean nation whose construction industry is key in the economic growth and development of the country; however, the productivity of the sector is being affected by inefficient traditional practices. The increase... Read More about Implementation of Building Information Modelling in the Dominican Republic construction industry.

Understanding the influence of psychology and vicarious experience on property flood resilience choices (2020)
Thesis

There is an acknowledged need to improve the resilience of those at risk of flooding in the UK. The majority of the at-risk population do not actively adopt mitigation measures even when they have experienced multiple flood events. If uptake of resil...
