Coupled heat transfer analysis and experiments to evaluate the radiative cooling potential of concrete and green roofs for buildings
(Springer Nature, 2020-08)
Improving building energy efficiency is one of the most important challenges towards the mitigation of climate change concerns. Buildings use significant amount of energy for cooling loads. Development of new night-time ...
Changing pedagogic identities of tutors and students in the design studio: Case study of desk and peer critiques
(Intellect Ltd., 2020-04-01)
This article explores the tools and processes of effective learning in the design studio with a special emphasis on the pedagogic roles of the tutors and the students in desk critique and peer critique. It aims to identify ...
A parametric study on the influence of boundary frame flexibility in steel plate shear walls
(2020-01-17)
Steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) are known to be a reliable lateral force-resisting system, particularly attractive for high-seismic regions, due to their high lateral strength and stiffness and stable hysteretic behavior. ...
Risk-calibrated evidential classifiers
(2020-01-17)
In some applications, intelligent agents rely on classifiers in order to make their decisions and accuracy of their predictions may play a significant role in performing their tasks successfully. Although deep neural ...
Incremental diversity order for characterization of FSO communication systems over lognormal fading channels
(IEEE, 2020-04)
Free space optical (FSO) communication systems experience atmospheric turbulence-induced fading, which is typically modelled by lognormal distribution. Since the decreasing rate of error probability over lognormal fading ...
Metaspace, mobility and resistance: Understanding vendors’ movement pattern as a resistive strategy in Kano, Nigeria
(Sage, 2020-11)
The street vendor's (SV) potential mobility in subverting authorities' hegemony over public space has been theorised within the contexts of urban informality and resistance. Discussions mainly revolve around movement tactics ...
Developing a BIM-based tool for automated fall safety review
(2020-01-06)
Construction sites are globally known to be amongst the most dangerous working environments. Ensuring safety at sites can be difficult because it is not affected by just one parameter; but it is governed by the behavior ...
Staging poe: A narrative approach to atmosphere in a first‐year design studio
(Wiley, 2020-11)
This paper explores how to begin interior architecture education and provides a fertile ground on which students can tackle design departures. Narratives are studied as a vehicle and an opportunity for self-expression and ...
Machine learning based activity learning for behavioral contexts in Internet of things (IoT)
(Springer Nature, 2020-12)
Ontology based activity learning models play a vital role in diverse fields of Internet of Things (IoT) such as smart homes, smart hospitals or smart communities etc. The prevalent challenges with ontological models are ...
Stigma for common mental disorders in racial minorities and majorities a systematic review and meta-analysis
(Springer Nature, 2020-06-08)
Background: There is a strong stigma attached to mental disorders preventing those affected from getting psychological help. The consequences of stigma are worse for racial and/or ethnic minorities compared to racial and/or ...
