On simultaneous construction of Voronoi diagram and delaunay triangulation by physarum polycephalum (2009)
Journal Article
We experimentally demonstrate that both Voronoi diagram and its dual graph Delaunay triangulation are simultaneously constructed for specific conditions in cultures of plasmodium, a vegetative state of Physarum polycephalum. Every point of a given pl... Read More about On simultaneous construction of Voronoi diagram and delaunay triangulation by physarum polycephalum.

Flood management: From defence to sustainability (2009)
Journal Article
The problem of flood risk management is as old as settled human communities, preceding even the first telling of Noah's biblical flood. It remains a significant concern today in our highly populated, intensively developed world, albeit that understan... Read More about Flood management: From defence to sustainability.
Tools for the equitable and sustainable use of ecosystem resources: Parts 1 and 2 (2009)
Journal Article
Recognition over the past century of the benefits provided by land and landscapes has seen a net shift in balance from the private interests of landowners towards broader beneficiaries across society, with post-apartheid constitutional and legislativ...

Safeguarding the societal value of land (2009)
Journal Article
There is an extensive academic literature on relative cultural perspectives about the value of land, landscapes, ecosystems and natural resources (for example Posey and Strang). Our purpose in this paper is not to review that body of work. Rather,... Read More about Safeguarding the societal value of land.
Commute replacement and commute displacement the rise of part-day home working (2008)
Journal Article
Working by telecommunication has been the subject of research attention in transportation studies for many years. Particular consideration has been given to occasional working from home (home working) by (full-time, paid) employees who represent a ta...

What affects use of pretrip public transport information?: Empirical results of a qualitative study (2008)
Journal Article
With the rise of the Internet and mobile phone, various forms of public transport information services have emerged that enable people to make better informed travel choices. Nevertheless, many people are unaware of these information services, and on... Read More about What affects use of pretrip public transport information?: Empirical results of a qualitative study.

Crowd analysis: A survey (2008)
Journal Article
In the year 1999 the world population reached 6 billion, doubling the previous census estimate of 1960. Recently, the United States Census Bureau issued a revised forecast for world population showing a projected growth to 9.4 billion by 2050 (US Cen... Read More about Crowd analysis: A survey.
The fundamental solution of Mindlin plates with damping in the Laplace domain and its applications (2008)
Journal Article
In this paper, a fundamental solution for the Mindlin plate theory with damping is derived in the Laplace transform domain first time. The applications of this fundamental solution are demonstrated by the method of fundamental solution (MFS). All var...

Towards developing competency-based measures for construction project managers: Should contextual behaviours be distinguished from task behaviours? (2008)
Journal Article
Competency-based measures are increasingly being recognised as the most viable option for engendering the continuing professional development (CPD) of construction project managers (CPMs). Presently, an emerging view from the HRM genre is that, a som...

Critical success criteria for mass house building projects in developing countries (2008)
Journal Article
Project success is a complex and often illusory construct. Nonetheless, it is crucially contingent towards enabling appropriate and effective allocation of resources in project management practice. Mass house building projects (MHBPs) represent one o... Read More about Critical success criteria for mass house building projects in developing countries.
Numerical investigation of system pressure effect on heat transfer of supercritical water flows in a horizontal round tube (2008)
Journal Article
The system pressure effect on heat transfer of supercritical water (SCW) flows in a horizontal round tube has been studied by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique, aiming for extending previous researches on the buoyancy effect by furth...

On logical gates in precipitating medium: Cellular automaton model (2008)
Journal Article
We study a two-dimensional semi-totalistic binary cell-state cellular automaton, which imitates a reversible precipitation in an abstract chemical medium. The systems exhibits a non-trivial growth and nucleation. We demonstrate how basic computationa... Read More about On logical gates in precipitating medium: Cellular automaton model.
Model for predicting the performance of project managers at the construction phase of mass house building projects (2008)
Journal Article
The need to match project managers' (PMs) performance measures onto projects of both unique and similar characteristics has long since been acknowledged by researchers. The need for these measures to reflect the various phases of the project life cyc...

Impact of stress on the performance of construction project managers (2008)
Journal Article
The work of construction project managers (CPMs) is often highly stressful, due to time pressures, and due to the uncertainties and the dynamic social structure involved in construction projects. This study aims to investigate the impact of stress on... Read More about Impact of stress on the performance of construction project managers.
