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. 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...

Urban identities: influences on socio-environmental values and spatial inter-relations (2012)
Journal Article
Cheshmehzangi, A., & Heat, T. (in press). Urban identities: influences on socio-environmental values and spatial inter-relations. Procedia Social and Behavioral Sciences, 36, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sbspro.2012.03.028

This research focuses upon the socio-environmental dimensions and urban identity of urban environments by evaluating human behaviours and space-to-human relations. In addition, approaches to urban re-branding will be analysed to evaluate the role of... Read More about Urban identities: influences on socio-environmental values and spatial inter-relations.

Reflections on water: architectural manifestations in the historic and cultural quarter along Lake Pichola in Udaipur (2010)
Journal Article
Samant, S. (2010). Reflections on water: architectural manifestations in the historic and cultural quarter along Lake Pichola in Udaipur. Journal of Sustainable Development, 3(2), https://doi.org/10.5539/jsd.v3n2P27

The aim of this paper is to undertake a critical appreciation of the historic cultural quarter along the eastern edge of Lake Pichola in Udaipur, which is a result of its unique context with the objective of understanding the forces that underpin thi...

Design analysis of a hybrid jet-pump CO2 compression system
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Worall, M., Omer, S., & Riffat, S. Design analysis of a hybrid jet-pump CO2 compression system. Presented at 9th International Conference on Sustainable Energy Technologies

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. Do they have designs on us or for us? (or Beware of Greeks bearing gifts). Presented at Regional Urbanism in the Era of Globalisation

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).

A simulation-based framework for a mapping tool that assesses the energy performance of green roofs
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kokogiannakis, G., & Darkwa, J. A simulation-based framework for a mapping tool that assesses the energy performance of green roofs. Presented at International Congress on Informatics, Environment, Energy and Applications (IEEA 2012)

This paper presents a framework for the development of a GIS open source mapping tool that aims to disseminate a database with results of detailed simulations in order to assess in a quick and easy way the energy performance of green roof designs acr...

Power conditioning of thermoelectric generated power using dc-dc converters: a case study of a boost converter
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Twaha, S., Zhu, J., & Yan, Y. Power conditioning of thermoelectric generated power using dc-dc converters: a case study of a boost converter. Presented at International Symposium of Heat Transfer and Heat Powered Cycles 2016

The near exhaustion of non-renewable energy resources such as fossil fuels followed by disastrous climatic changes have alerted the world to invest in alternative energy sources. Thermoelectric (TE) technology is responsible for innovating TE devices...
