Modelling the prestress transfer in pre-tensioned concrete elements (2015)
Journal Article

Three models were developed to simulate the transfer of prestress force from steel to concrete in pre-tensioned concrete elements. The first is an analytical model based on the thick-walled cylinder theory and considers linear material properties for...

Microwave processing of cement and concrete materials - towards an industrial reality? (2015)
Journal Article

Each year a substantial body of literature is published on the use of microwaves to process cement and concrete materials. Yet to date, very few if any have lead the realisation of a commercial scale industrial system and is the context under which t...

Comparing the accuracies of remote sensing global burned area products using stratified random sampling and estimation (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 Elsevier Inc. The accuracies of six global burned area (BA) products for year 2008 were compared using the same validation methods and reference data to quantify accuracy of each product. The selected products include MCD64, MCD45 and Geoland2... Read More about Comparing the accuracies of remote sensing global burned area products using stratified random sampling and estimation.

Performance of Flexible and Binderless Polypyrrole/Graphene Oxide/Zinc Oxide Supercapacitor Electrode in a Symmetrical Two-Electrode Configuration (2015)
Journal Article

A fast and facile approach based on potentiostatic electrochemical polymerization was used to prepare a polypyrrole/graphene oxide/zinc oxide (PPy/GO/ZnO) nanocomposite deposited on a flexible nickel foam. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and...

Effect of surface conditions on internal oxidation and nitridation of HVOF MCrAlY coatings (2015)
Journal Article

This study deals with the isothermal oxidation behaviour of high velocity oxy-fuel sprayed MCrAlY coatings. Both free-standing coatings and coatings attached to IN738 and CMSX4 substrates undergo isothermal oxidation at 1100°C for up to 100h. The eff...

Journal Article

Narrative, Story, and Discourse: The Novium, Chichester (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 The California Academy of Sciences. This article seeks to engage with the notion of "discourse," and to test and apply ideas from literary and film theory in the analysis of architectural-and particularly museum-space. It examines the complex... Read More about Narrative, Story, and Discourse: The Novium, Chichester.

Impact of rapid-hardening cements on mechanical properties of cement bitumen emulsion asphalt (2015)
Journal Article

Cement bitumen emulsion asphalt (CBEA) is obtained by mixing bitumen emulsion, cement, aggregates and filler at ambient temperature. CBEA is thought to be a promising substitute for hot mix asphalt because of its low environmental impact and cost-eff...

Permanent magnet machine design trade-offs to achieve sensorless control at high load (2015)
Journal Article

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new design optimization technique for a surface mounted permanent magnet (SMPM) machine to increase sensorless performance at high loadings by compromising with torque capability. Design/meth... Read More about Permanent magnet machine design trade-offs to achieve sensorless control at high load.

Sub-100 nm resolution microscopy based on proximity projection grating scheme (2015)
Journal Article

Structured illumination microscopy (SIM) has been widely used in life science imaging applications. The maximum resolution improvement of SIM, compared to conventional bright field system is a factor of 2. Here we present an approach to structured il...
