D-MOD Dynamic Modelling of Operator Demand: a new simulator module for the evaluation of signaler’s demand
Conference Proceeding

Estimating signaler demand is critical for ensuring signaling workstations are both feasible to run, and acceptable to staff. While human factors tools exist, they are typically manual, time consuming and rely of the skill of an expert. One solution,...

Validation of spatial microsimulation models: a proposal to adopt the Bland-Altman method
Journal Article

Model validation is recognised as crucial to microsimulation modelling. However, modellers encounter difficulty in choosing the most meaningful methods to compare simulated and actual values. The aim of this paper is to introduce and demonstrate a me... Read More about Validation of spatial microsimulation models: a proposal to adopt the Bland-Altman method.

Melt-processed PLA/HA platelet nanoparticle composites produced using tailored dispersants
Conference Proceeding

Hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles, similar to those seen in the structure of human bone, have been produced via hydrothermal synthesisand used to produce nanocomposite materials via melt blending with poly(lactic acid)(PLA). Both of these processes a... Read More about Melt-processed PLA/HA platelet nanoparticle composites produced using tailored dispersants.

Modelling asset management of railway overhead line equipment
Conference Proceeding

The overhead line equipment (OLE) is a critical sub-system of the 25kV AC overhead railway electrification system. There is a need to evaluate OLE asset management strategies through a whole life cost analysis that considers degradation processes and...

Numerical simulation of residual stresses induced by weld repair in a stainless steel pipe considering the influence of an initial fabrication weld
Conference Proceeding

This work presents the application of a finite element (FE) model developed to simulate the repair process in the case of components with a pre-existing stress state. The approach is tested in the case of a repair of a laser beam weld in a stainless...

Protocol to assess the effectiveness and safety of novel oral anticoagulants (NOAC) vs warfarin in real world settings: cohort study in primary care
Book

Anticoagulants are used to treat thrombosis and to prevent thrombosis and stroke among those at high risk. Older anticoagulants such as warfarin can be effective but require regular monitoring and may lead to major bleeding and even death. Newer anti...

A comparison of the economic value for enteric methane emissions with other biological traits associated with dairy cows
Journal Article

This is the first study to derive the economic value of enteric methane produced by a ruminant animal. There is considerable interest globally in selecting for low methane-emitting ruminant livestock, as methane is a potent greenhouse gas. However, b...
