Experimental study on the measurement of building infiltration and air leakage rate (at 4 and 50 Pa) by means of tracer gas methods, blower door and the novel pulse technique in a detached UK home (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Air infiltration contributes to a heat loss typically representing up to one third of the heating demand of a building. The building airtightness, also quantified as air leakage, is the fundamental building property that impacts infiltration. The ste...

Theorem proving for all: equational reasoning in Liquid Haskell (Functional Pearl) (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Equational reasoning is one of the key features of pure functional languages such as Haskell. To date, however, such reasoning always took place externally to Haskell, either manually on paper, or mechanised in a theorem prover. This article shows ho...

AutoBench: comparing the time performance of Haskell programs (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Two fundamental goals in programming are correctness (producing the right results) and efficiency (using as few resources as possible). Property-based testing tools such as QuickCheck provide a lightweight means to check the correctness of Haskell pr... Read More about AutoBench: comparing the time performance of Haskell programs.

An agent based modelling approach for the office space allocation problem (2018)
Conference Proceeding

This paper describes an agent based simulation model to create solutions for the office space allocation (OSA) problem. OSA is a combinatorial optimization problem concerned with the allocation of available office space to a set of entities such as p...

Lookahead policy and genetic algorithm for solving nurse rostering problems (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Previous research has shown that value function approximation in dynamic programming does not perform too well when tackling difficult combinatorial optimisation problem such as multi-stage nurse rostering. This is because the large action space that... Read More about Lookahead policy and genetic algorithm for solving nurse rostering problems.

The effectiveness of drama-based activities to teach the cardiac cycle to undergraduate students (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Active learning modes are thought to promote higher levels of student engagement, understanding and thus, improve test scores and satisfaction. Nevertheless, few studies have used drama as an active learning tool to learn complex physiological concep...

When size matters: Towards evaluating perceivability of choropleths (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Choropleth maps are an invaluable visualization type for mapping geo-spatial data. One advantage to a choropleth map over other geospatial visualizations such as cartograms is the familiarity of a non-distorted landmass. However, this causes challeng...
