Symbiotic cognitive networks: a proposal. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Rasheed, T., Hart, E., Falconer, R., & Bown, J. (2010, July). Symbiotic cognitive networks: a proposal. Presented at 9th International Conference Artificial Immune Systems ICARIS 2010

We describe the concept of a cognitive network and propose that ecosystems of co-existing networks which are globally energy efficient while providing the expected quality of service can be realised by exploiting two mechanisms which occur in biologi...

Social support mechanisms of the elderly: insights from the British Household panel survey (2010)
Journal Article
Raeside, R., Gayen, K., & Canduela, J. (2010). Social support mechanisms of the elderly: insights from the British Household panel survey. International Journal of Interdisciplinary Social Sciences: Annual Review, 5, 163-178

Many European countries are facing a future of an ageing society. This has arisen from a prolonged period of low fertility. To provide support for the elderly reliance is often placed on support from younger relatives and from friends. To understand...

Environmental sustainability in the construction Industry in developing countries: a study of embodied energy of low-cost housing. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mpakati Gama, E., Wamuziri, S., & Sloan, B. (2010, September). Environmental sustainability in the construction Industry in developing countries: a study of embodied energy of low-cost housing. Presented at 26th Annual ARCOM Conference

The embodied energy (EE) of a residential building is estimated at 20-40% of
operation energy over its total usable life. However, this varies from one context to
the other due to the primary energy used, technological advancement of a particular... Read More about Environmental sustainability in the construction Industry in developing countries: a study of embodied energy of low-cost housing..
