An investigation of interventions for the reduction of traffic-related air pollution at schools in England (2023)
Thesis

Children are particularly vulnerable to the negative effects of air pollution exposure due to their developing lungs and their greater respiratory rate than adults. The school commute presents a period of particular threat because children are expose...

Bristol advisory committee on climate change: One City climate strategy progress review - February 2023 (2023)
Report

This report from the Bristol Advisory Committee on Climate Change (BACCC) reviews citywide progress on tackling the climate crisis and concludes that, although there is some positive progress, the city is still way off meeting its 2030 carbon neutra...

Atmospheric circulations and drought conditions in British catchments: Highlighting the role of the East Atlantic pattern (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Drought events are influenced by a combination of both climatic and local catchment characteristics. In Great Britain the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) has long been recognised as the leading mode of climate variability, and studies have also note...

Health monitoring of ultra high fiber performance reinforced concrete communication tower using machine learning algorithms (2023)
Journal Article

Within the last decades, the needed for communication towers has accelerated with the requirements for effective communication, especially for radio, radar, and television. The complexity configuration of the tower and limit access to the structure b...

Influence of hillslope aspect on a cinder cone evolution: The Sandal Divlit example, Kula, Turkey (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Microclimatic variations in semi-arid ecosystems can cause topographic asymmetry over geologic time scales due to uneven distribution of incoming solar radiation as a function of slope aspect. This phenomenon has long been recognized in geomorphology... Read More about Influence of hillslope aspect on a cinder cone evolution: The Sandal Divlit example, Kula, Turkey.

Investigating links among heatwaves, precipitation, and land use types using the convection-permitting model in the Southwest UK for the 2022 boreal summer (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

To improve sub-seasonal forecasts, different global initiatives generate continental convection-permitting simulations for resolution less than 10 kilometres for multiple decades. These simulations, however, are based on land use maps with only singl...

Development of hybrid performance-based optimization algorithm for structures equipped with vibration damper devices (2023)
Journal Article

Nowadays, various types of vibration damping systems are being implemented in different buildings to diminish seismic effects on structures. However, engineers are faced with the challenging task of developing an optimum design for structures utilizi...

Transfer functions of proteinoid microspheres (2023)
Journal Article

Proteinoids, or thermal proteins, are inorganic entities formed by heating amino acids to their melting point and commencing polymerisation to form polymeric chains. Typically, their diameters range from 1 μm to 10 μm. Some amino acids incorporated i... Read More about Transfer functions of proteinoid microspheres.

Optimization of the multi-level spring restrainer for bridges by hybrid particle swarm and gravitational search algorithm (2023)
Journal Article

This paper proposes a new multi-level spring restrainer (MLSR) that exhibits multi stiffness performance in different levels of movement of bridge superstructure to prevent unseating during applied dynamic loads. The analytical model of the proposed... Read More about Optimization of the multi-level spring restrainer for bridges by hybrid particle swarm and gravitational search algorithm.

Wet–dry cycles and microstructural characteristics of expansive subgrade treated with sustainable cementitious waste materials (2023)
Journal Article

This work presents an experimental study on the physico-mechanical and microstructural characteristics of stabilised soils and the effect of wetting and drying cycles on their durability as road subgrade materials. The durability of expansive road su... Read More about Wet–dry cycles and microstructural characteristics of expansive subgrade treated with sustainable cementitious waste materials.
