Towards developing competency-based measures for construction project managers: Should contextual behaviours be distinguished from task behaviours? (2008)
Journal Article
Proverbs, D. G., Ahadzie, D. K., & Olomolaiye, P. (2008). Towards developing competency-based measures for construction project managers: Should contextual behaviours be distinguished from task behaviours?. International Journal of Project Management, 26(6), 631-645. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijproman.2007.09.011

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...

Model for predicting the performance of project managers at the construction phase of mass house building projects (2008)
Journal Article
Ahadzie, D., Proverbs, D., & Olomolaiye, P. (2008). Model for predicting the performance of project managers at the construction phase of mass house building projects. Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 134(8), 618-629. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28ASCE%290733-9364%282008%29134%3A8%28618%29

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
Leung, M. Y., Chan, Y. S., & Olomolaiye, P. (2008). Impact of stress on the performance of construction project managers. Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 134(8), 644-652. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28ASCE%290733-9364%282008%29134%3A8%28644%29

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.

On logical gates in precipitating medium: Cellular automaton model (2008)
Journal Article
Martínez, G. J., Adamatzky, A., & de Lacy Costello, B. (2008). On logical gates in precipitating medium: Cellular automaton model. Physics Letters A, 372(31), 5115-5119. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physleta.2008.05.087

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.

Calculation of the crosswind displacement of pantographs (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Bouferrouk, A., Baker, C., Sterling, M., O'Neil, H., & Wood, S. (2008, July). Calculation of the crosswind displacement of pantographs. Paper presented at BBAA VI International Colloquium on Bluff Bodies Aerodynamics & Applications, Milano, Italy

The static crosswind displacements of a high speed pantograph and contact wire are studied. The aim is to assess the overall pantograph sway in crosswinds based on the relative movements of the pantograph and contact wire, taking into account the cro...

An investigation of the aerodynamic admittances and weighting functions of trains (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Sterling, M., Baker, C., Bouferrouk, A., O'Neil, H., Wood, S., Pearce, W., & Crosbie, E. (2008, July). An investigation of the aerodynamic admittances and weighting functions of trains. Paper presented at BBAA VI International Colloquium on Bluff Bodies Aerodynamics & Applications, Milano, Italy

Increasing train speeds combined with the predicted reduction in the weight of new trains ensures that the effect of crosswinds on train stability is of continued interest to the rail industry. Changes in the approaching wind velocity can in turn lea... Read More about An investigation of the aerodynamic admittances and weighting functions of trains.

Computation by competing patterns: life rule B2/S2345678 (2008)
Book Chapter

Martinez, K. Morita, & T. Worsch (Eds.), Automata 2008: Theory and Applications of Cellular Automata (356-367). Frome: Luniver Press

Patterns, originating from different sources of perturbations, propagating in a precipitating chemical medium do usually compete for the space. They sub-divide the medium onto the regions unique for an initial configuration of disturbances. This sub-... Read More about Computation by competing patterns: life rule B2/S2345678.
