Household water sharing: A review of water gifts, exchanges, and transfers across cultures (2018)
Journal Article

Water sharing offers insight into the everyday and, at times, invisible ties that bind people and households with water and to one another. Water sharing can take many forms, including so-called “pure gifts,” balanced exchanges, and negative reciproc...

Communication and the elemental: Capacities, force and excess in emergencyinformation sharing (2018)
Journal Article

© The Author(s) 2018. Recently debates have emerged concerning how atmospheric objects referred to collectively as ‘elemental’ become entangled in the operation of communication infrastructure. The paper extends these debates through research into UK... Read More about Communication and the elemental: Capacities, force and excess in emergencyinformation sharing.

Bayesian structural identification of a long suspension bridge considering temperature and traffic load effects (2018)
Journal Article

© The Author(s) 2018. This article presents a probabilistic structural identification of the Tamar bridge using a detailed finite element model. Parameters of the bridge cables initial strain and bearings friction were identified. Effects of temperat...

Examination of deep root water uptake using anomalies of soil water stable isotopes, depth-controlled isotopic labeling and mixing models (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 Elsevier B.V. Knowledge on the water uptake depths of vegetation is crucial for understanding water transport processes of the soil-vegetation atmosphere continuum and relevant for many applications (e.g. the estimation of groundwater recharge...

Special Issue on the theory, design and evaluation of behaviour change interventions in transport (2018)
Journal Article

With increasing realisation of how the way we travel affects our health, the search is on for transport solutions that achieve safer and healthier travel behaviour. Given this context, we invited papers on the theory, design and evaluation of behavio...

Modeling oblique load carrying capacity of batter pile groups using neural network, random forest regression and M5 model tree (2018)
Journal Article

M5 model tree, random forest regression (RF) and neural network (NN) based modelling approaches were used to predict oblique load carrying capacity of batter pile groups using 247 laboratory experiments with smooth and rough pile groups. Pile length... Read More about Modeling oblique load carrying capacity of batter pile groups using neural network, random forest regression and M5 model tree.

Mapping ammonia risk on sensitive habitats in Ireland (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 Elsevier B.V. The aim of this study was to provide a simple, cost-effective, risk-based map of terrestrial areas in Ireland where environmental quality may be at risk from atmospheric ammonia. This risk-based approach identifies Natura 2000 si... Read More about Mapping ammonia risk on sensitive habitats in Ireland.

Contributions of green infrastructure to enhancing urban resilience (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018, The Author(s). After briefly reviewing key resilience engineering perspectives and summarising some green infrastructure (GI) tools, we present the contributions that GI can make to enhancing urban resilience and maintaining critical system f...
