Where are low-carbon places made? Conceptualising and studying infrastructure junctions and the power geometries of low-carbon place-making (2023)
Journal Article

The making of low-carbon places is crucial for achieving decarbonisation, but where are such places made? In extending and combining existing research and ideas, the authors take electricity networks as their starting point to study what they term th... Read More about Where are low-carbon places made? Conceptualising and studying infrastructure junctions and the power geometries of low-carbon place-making.

Exploring the prioritisation of biodiversity amongst small- to medium-sized enterprise leaders with strong bigger-than-self value orientation (2023)
Journal Article

This paper reports on a quantitative study of prioritisation of biodiversity amongst small- to medium-sized enterprise (SME) leaders. Existing research indicates that value orientation impacts propensity for pro-environmental behaviours. However, as...

Intraputamenal cerebral dopamine neurotrophic factor in Parkinson's disease: A randomized, double‐blind, multicenter phase 1 trial (2023)
Journal Article

Background: Cerebral dopamine neurotrophic factor (CDNF) is an unconventional neurotrophic factor that protects dopamine neurons and improves motor function in animal models of Parkinson's disease (PD). Objective: The primary objectives of this study... Read More about Intraputamenal cerebral dopamine neurotrophic factor in Parkinson's disease: A randomized, double‐blind, multicenter phase 1 trial.

The merit of the North Sea-Caspian pattern in explaining climate variability in the Euro-Mediterranean region (2023)
Journal Article

Teleconnection patterns are one of the key features to understanding high-frequency natural climate variability. The North Sea-Caspian Pattern (NCP) was identified as a middle tropospheric dipole and its hydroclimatological implications have been sub...

Development of integrated semi-active adaptive vibration control system for bridges subjected to traffic loads (2023)
Journal Article

Nowadays, the fluid viscous damper is the most conventional energy dissipation system implemented in bridge structures to control the vibrations due to traffic loads. However, to effectively protect the bridge against frequent and severer vibrations,...

Zebra crossings at T-intersections: Likelihood of unintended negative consequences for safety and walkability (2023)
Journal Article

Local governments in Melbourne are installing zebra crossings at prioritised T-intersections within activity centres and neighbourhoods. These treatments are well-intentioned and meant to increase certainty for road users, to create a more equitable... Read More about Zebra crossings at T-intersections: Likelihood of unintended negative consequences for safety and walkability.

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...

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...

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.

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.

Maintenance of action: A qualitative study of cycle commuting adoption resulting from a cycle loan scheme (2023)
Journal Article

Introduction: Cycling has multiple health benefits, but its share of commuting mode remains low in the UK. Little is known about barriers and determinants for new sustained recruits to commuting, and few studies have examined new recruits for a suffi...
