Factors, frameworks and theory: a review of the information systems literature on success factors in project management (2015)
Journal Article
Irvine, R., & Hall, H. (2015). Factors, frameworks and theory: a review of the information systems literature on success factors in project management. Information Research, 20(3),

INTRODUCTION We provide a critical evaluation of the literature on success factors in information systems projects, with a particular focus on organisational information systems development. This responds to recent editorial comment on the need for l...

Distribution of independent components of binocular natural images (2015)
Journal Article
Hunter, D. W., & Hibbard, P. B. (2015). Distribution of independent components of binocular natural images. Journal of Vision, 15(13), 6. https://doi.org/10.1167/15.13.6

An influential theory of the function of early processing in the visual cortex is that it forms an efficient coding of ecologically valid stimuli. In particular, correlations and differences between visual signals from the two eyes are believed to be... Read More about Distribution of independent components of binocular natural images.

Life cycle energy and carbon assessment of double skin façades for office refurbishments (2015)
Journal Article
Pomponi, F., Piroozfar, P. A. E., Southall, R., Ashton, P., & Farr, E. R. P. (2015). Life cycle energy and carbon assessment of double skin façades for office refurbishments. Energy and Buildings, 109, 143-156. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2015.09.051

In countries like the UK, the upkeep of existing buildings is where the greatest opportunities for achieving carbon reduction targets lie. Façades are the physical barriers between outdoors and indoors, and their upgrade can arguably be amongst the m...

A novel method for rapid inspection of sewer networks: combining acoustic and optical means (2015)
Journal Article
Plihal, H., Kretschmer, F., Ali, M. T. B., See, C. H., Romanova, A., Horoshenkov, K. V., & Ertl, T. (2016). A novel method for rapid inspection of sewer networks: combining acoustic and optical means. Urban Water Journal, 13(1), 3-14. https://doi.org/10.1080/1573062x.2015.1076857

Operation and maintenance of the public sewer system represent key tasks for an operator. Condition assessment is usually conducted by conventional closed circuit television (CCTV) inspection. However, alternative tools such as manhole-zoom cameras (... Read More about A novel method for rapid inspection of sewer networks: combining acoustic and optical means.
