Using mapping to explore experiences of the pandemic with 3-11 year olds (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper will draw on ongoing research funded by AHRC which works with 5 schools / Early Year centres in some of the most socio-economically deprived areas of Bristol. It will reflect on how we have used maps as a way of exploring children's experi... Read More about Using mapping to explore experiences of the pandemic with 3-11 year olds.

Protecting a heterogeneous landscape supports avian diversity across seasons on a Mediterranean island (2022)
Journal Article

Conservation efforts commonly target the protection of specific threatened species and habitats, with the value of heterogeneous landscapes often overlooked. Areas with small fragments of habitat tend to receive little attention, but the overall habi...

Challenges to implementing environmental-DNA monitoring in Namibia (2022)
Journal Article

By identifying fragments of DNA in the environment, eDNA approaches present a promising tool for monitoring biodiversity in a cost-effective way. This is particularly pertinent for countries where traditional morphological monitoring has been sparse.... Read More about Challenges to implementing environmental-DNA monitoring in Namibia.

New development: Enhancing regional innovation capabilities through formal public service communities of practice (2022)
Journal Article

Public services have recently experienced a ‘perfect storm’: dealing with challenges including the task demands of Covid-19, increased financial pressures derived from the pandemic and its impact on future revenue flows, and obligations to meet carbo...

Generalized temperature-dependent material models for compressive strength of masonry using fire tests, statistical methods and artificial intelligence (2022)
Journal Article

Masonry has superior fire resistance properties stemming from its inert characteristics, and slow degradation of mechanical properties. However, once exposed to fire conditions, masonry undergoes a series of physio-chemical changes. Such changes are...

Development of elastomeric rubber bearing utilizing core-and-filler system (2022)
Journal Article

Elastomeric bearing is the most common base isolation system for structures and bridges to dissipate effect of applied vibration and ground motion. To improve performance of the base isolators, lead core is implemented in the rubber bearings and it s... Read More about Development of elastomeric rubber bearing utilizing core-and-filler system.

Numerical performance of energy dissipation slotted plate for bridge unseating prevention (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Recently, the bridge unseating prevention devices are widely used in active seismic zones. These devices are stiffness dependant, velocity dependant and energy dissipation devices. The energy dissipation devices are designed to overcome the energy th... Read More about Numerical performance of energy dissipation slotted plate for bridge unseating prevention.

Cyclic performance of exterior R.C beam-column strengthened with different thicknesses of CFRP sheets (2022)
Journal Article

The recent ground motion results indicated that the RC buildings are required to be retrofitted by different strengthening techniques. Nowadays, the external strengthening gain interest since its easy, cost effective and not required redesign of buil...

Marimo actuated rover systems (2022)
Journal Article

Background: The potential to directly harness photosynthesis to make actuators, biosensors and bioprocessors has been previously demonstrated in the literature. Herein, this capability has been expanded to more advanced systems — Marimo Actuated Rove... Read More about Marimo actuated rover systems.

Management of industrial waste and cost analysis (2022)
Book Chapter

The increase in the global demands of industrial products leads to the increase in the produced wastes. This chapter reviews the management of three general categories of industrial wastes/byproducts: coal-burning ash (fly ash and bottom ash), iron a...

Use of industrial waste in construction and a cost analysis (2022)
Book Chapter

The average cost is increasing for disposing and managing industrial wastes in the world. The utilization/reuse of industrial wastes in construction is vital in that context to reduce the cost of both industrial operations and construction contractor...
