Noise levels and noise perception from small and micro wind turbines (2013)
Journal Article
Taylor, J., Eastwick, C., Lawrence, C., & Wilson, R. (in press). Noise levels and noise perception from small and micro wind turbines. Renewable Energy, 55, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.renene.2012.11.031

Noise concerns frequently pose a barrier to widespread implementation of wind turbines and while the perception of noise from large turbines has been investigated, there is a relative gap in the research for small and micro wind turbines. This paper... Read More about Noise levels and noise perception from small and micro wind turbines.

An innovative psychometric solar-powered water desalination system (2012)
Journal Article
Shatat, M., Riffat, S., & Gan, G. (2016). An innovative psychometric solar-powered water desalination system. International Journal of Low-Carbon Technologies, 11(2), https://doi.org/10.1093/ijlct/cts075

Important advances have been made in solar water desalination technology but their wide application is restricted by relatively high capital and running costs. Until recently, solar concentrator collectors had usually been employed to distill water i... Read More about An innovative psychometric solar-powered water desalination system.

Identity and public realm (2012)
Journal Article
Cheshmehzangi, A. (in press). Identity and public realm. Procedia Social and Behavioral Sciences, 50, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sbspro.2012.08.036

In a very general sense, Identities materialise space to create significance, meaning and spatial relations. In urban design terms, identity is considered to be a fixed point of thought and being or ground of actions. However, as Hall (1989) describe... Read More about Identity and public realm.

Post-oil urbanism in the Gulf: new evolutions in governance and the impact on urban morphologies (2012)
Book
Wiedmann, F. (2012). Post-oil urbanism in the Gulf: new evolutions in governance and the impact on urban morphologies. Stuttgart: Südwestdeutscher Verlag für Hochschulschriften

Since the end of the 20th century the governments of various Gulf states have been attempting to diversify their oil-dependent economies. This has resulted in a new type of urbanism, which the author refers to as post-oil urbanism. The first model of...

Design analysis of a hybrid jet-pump CO2 compression system
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Worall, M., Omer, S., & Riffat, S. (2010). Design analysis of a hybrid jet-pump CO2 compression system.

Transport refrigeration contributes to anthropogenic global warming directly because of leakage of refrigerant, usually using high global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants, and indirectly because of the greenhouse gases emitted in driving the vehi...

Do they have designs on us or for us? (or Beware of Greeks bearing gifts)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jarman, D. (in press). Do they have designs on us or for us? (or Beware of Greeks bearing gifts).

In this paper I am proposing that for a regional project designed by foreign entities to be truly successful the understanding of the culture of the key stakeholders needs to be two way. Not only does the designer need to learn and understand the rel... Read More about Do they have designs on us or for us? (or Beware of Greeks bearing gifts).
