The quadric-surfaced sludge digester (QSD), also known as the egg-shaped sludge digester, has proven its advantages over traditional cylindrical digesters recently. A reduction in operational cost is the dominant factor. Its shell can be described as...

Towards an automated photogrammetry-based approach for monitoring and controlling construction site activities (2020)
Thesis
Omar, H. Towards an automated photogrammetry-based approach for monitoring and controlling construction site activities. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/6000815

The construction industry has a poor productivity record, which was predominantly ascribed to inadequate monitoring of how a project is progressing at any given time. Most available approaches do not offer key stakeholders a shared understanding of p...

An investigation into the use of bamboo as reinforcement in concrete (2020)
Thesis
Khatib, A. An investigation into the use of bamboo as reinforcement in concrete. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/2783424

The behaviour of bamboo reinforced concrete is not well understood and the methods proposed for its design suffers from problems that can result in an overly conservative design in some situations and unconservative designs in others. This investigat... Read More about An investigation into the use of bamboo as reinforcement in concrete.

Implementation of Building Information Modelling in the Dominican Republic construction industry (2020)
Thesis
Silverio Rodriguez, A. K. Implementation of Building Information Modelling in the Dominican Republic construction industry. (Thesis). University of Wolverhampton. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/10277965

The Dominican Republic (D.R.) is a Caribbean nation whose construction industry is key in the economic growth and development of the country; however, the productivity of the sector is being affected by inefficient traditional practices. The increase... Read More about Implementation of Building Information Modelling in the Dominican Republic construction industry.

Understanding the influence of psychology and vicarious experience on property flood resilience choices (2020)
Thesis
Rose, C. B. Understanding the influence of psychology and vicarious experience on property flood resilience choices. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/1490959

There is an acknowledged need to improve the resilience of those at risk of flooding in the UK. The majority of the at-risk population do not actively adopt mitigation measures even when they have experienced multiple flood events. If uptake of resil...

Calibration of sound source localisation for robots using multiple adaptive filter models of the cerebellum (2020)
Thesis
Baxendale, M. D. Calibration of sound source localisation for robots using multiple adaptive filter models of the cerebellum. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/1490813

The aim of this research was to investigate the calibration of Sound Source Localisation (SSL) for robots using the adaptive filter model of the cerebellum and how this could be automatically adapted for multiple acoustic environments. The role of th... Read More about Calibration of sound source localisation for robots using multiple adaptive filter models of the cerebellum.
