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.
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...

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...

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.

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...

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.
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...

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.
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.
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...

The influence of Oldroyd-B and PTT lubricants on moving journal bearing systems (2008)
Journal Article
The influence of viscoelasticity on the performance of statically and dynamically loaded journal bearings is considered. The lubricant in the system is modelled using either the Oldroyd-B or linear PTT models. Significant viscoelastic effects are pre...

Spatial patterns of production linkages in the context of Europe's small towns: How are rural firms linked to the local economy? (2008)
Journal Article
Small towns have received increasing attention from policy-makers aiming to stimulate rural development through territorial approaches. However, it cannot be assumed that fostering local business growth will help generate local economic development e...

The rural arena: The diversity of protest in rural England (2008)
Journal Article
In the past 15-20 years, the rural areas of England have been used by a wide diversity of groups as the stage for their protest activities. Some have argued that this is due the rise of a rural social movement; this paper contends that rural areas ha... Read More about The rural arena: The diversity of protest in rural England.
A comparative study of attitude theory and other theoretical models for understanding travel behaviour (2008)
Journal Article
In this study we investigate the extent to which the integration of psychological mechanisms from attitude theory into conventional analytical approaches can advance our understanding of travel behaviour. Three models, which explain volitions (intent... Read More about A comparative study of attitude theory and other theoretical models for understanding travel behaviour.
The gift of travel time (2008)
Journal Article
The interpretation of travel time in economic terms has played a fundamental part in shaping our transport systems. The time consumed in order to travel to a destination has been seen as the price paid for fulfilling the purpose of reaching that dest... Read More about The gift of travel time.
