Relational architectures and wearable space: Smart schools and the politics of ubiquitous sensation (2019)
Journal Article

This paper undertakes an analysis of the "smart school" as a building that both senses and manages bodies through sensory data. The authors argue that smart schools produce a situation of ubiquitous sensation in which learning environments are contin...

“We cannot stop cooking”: Stove stacking, seasonality and the risky practices of household cookstove transitions in Nigeria (2019)
Journal Article

Drawing on qualitative data from three contrasting sites in Benue state, Nigeria, this paper explores how and why cooking system use and priorities vary over time and space as well as the influence of household air pollution (HAP)-related health risk... Read More about “We cannot stop cooking”: Stove stacking, seasonality and the risky practices of household cookstove transitions in Nigeria.

Radial Injection in Suspension High Velocity Oxy-Fuel (S-HVOF) Thermal Spray of Graphene Nanoplatelets for Tribology (2019)
Journal Article

Friction is a major issue in energy efficiency of any apparatus composed of moving mechanical parts, affecting durability and reliability. Graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) are good candidates for reducing friction and wear, and suspension high velocity...

Integrated parametric multi-level information and numerical modelling of mechanised tunnelling projects (2019)
Journal Article

This paper presents a concept for parametric modelling of mechanized tunnelling within a state of the art design environment, as the basis for design assessments for different levels of details (LoDs). To this end, a parametric representation of each... Read More about Integrated parametric multi-level information and numerical modelling of mechanised tunnelling projects.

Bayesian inference for damage identification based on analytical probabilistic model of scattering coefficient estimators and ultrafast wave scattering simulation scheme (2019)
Journal Article

Ultrasonic Guided Waves (GW) actuated by piezoelectric transducers installed on structures have proven to be sensitive to small structural defects, with acquired scattering signatures being dependent on the damage type. This study presents a generic... Read More about Bayesian inference for damage identification based on analytical probabilistic model of scattering coefficient estimators and ultrafast wave scattering simulation scheme.

Geocellular railway drainage systems: physical and numerical modelling (2019)
Journal Article

The importance of resilient railway infrastructure is paramount when considering the increased likelihood of extreme weather and flash flood events in coming years. One of the main causes of instability of railway tracks is excess water in the trackb... Read More about Geocellular railway drainage systems: physical and numerical modelling.

Multi-parameter optical fibre sensing of gaseous ammonia and carbon dioxide (2019)
Journal Article

Ammonia (NH3) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are important breath biomarkers for diagnosis of renal and respiratory diseases. Simultaneous sensing of the two gases is useful for assessment of Helicobacter Pylori infection. This study introduces a multi-par...

Steady-state performance evaluation and energy assessment of a complete membrane-based liquid desiccant dehumidification system (2019)
Journal Article

A complete membrane-based liquid desiccant dehumidification system is investigated under the steady operating condition, which mainly consists of a dehumidifier, a regenerator, three heat exchangers, a cold and a hot water supply units. A finite diff... Read More about Steady-state performance evaluation and energy assessment of a complete membrane-based liquid desiccant dehumidification system.

Thermo-physical properties of the nano-binary fluid (acetone–zinc bromide-ZnO) as a low temperature operating fluid for use in an absorption refrigeration machine (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature. The current technical note is an expression for extending aspects of the previous work of Ajib and Karno [1] which related to the thermophysical properties of acetone / ZnBr2. The study c...
