Social networks and contraception practice of women in rural Bangladesh (2010)
Journal Article
Gayen, K., & Raeside, R. (2010). Social networks and contraception practice of women in rural Bangladesh. Social Science and Medicine, 71(9), 1584-1592. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.socscimed.2010.08.002

This paper analyzed the association of social networks with contraceptive use using both structural and attitudinal properties of social networks. Data were collected from seven villages in rural Bangladesh by face-to-face interviews using a structur... Read More about Social networks and contraception practice of women in rural Bangladesh.

Modelling and remote control of an excavator (2010)
Journal Article
Liu, Y., Hasan, M. S., & Yu, H. (2010). Modelling and remote control of an excavator. International Journal of Automation and Computing, 7(3), 349-358. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11633-010-0514-8

This paper presents the results of an on-going project and investigates modelling and remote control issues of an industry excavator. The details of modelling, communication, and control of a remotely controllable excavator are studied. The paper mai... Read More about Modelling and remote control of an excavator.

Experimental study of the influence of collector height on the steady state performance of a passive solar air heater (2010)
Journal Article
Ryan, D., & Burek, S. (2010). Experimental study of the influence of collector height on the steady state performance of a passive solar air heater. Solar Energy, 84(9), 1676-1684. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.solener.2010.05.018

Passive solar air heaters, such as solar chimneys and Trombe Walls, rely on solar-induced buoyancy-driven (natural) convection to produce the flow of air. Although buoyancy-driven convection is well understood for a single vertical plate, buoyancy-dr...

On the Scatterers' Mobility and Second Order Statistics of Narrowband Fixed Outdoor Wireless Channels (2010)
Journal Article
Karadimas, P., Vagenas, E. D., & Kotsopoulos, S. A. (2010). On the Scatterers' Mobility and Second Order Statistics of Narrowband Fixed Outdoor Wireless Channels. IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, 9(7), 2119-2124. https://doi.org/10.1109/twc.2010.07.080874

In this paper, we study the temporal behavior of narrowband fixed outdoor wireless channels by modeling the impact of scatterers' mobility on the second order statistics of such channels. We show that the Nakagami-m, gamma, Weibull and lognormal prob... Read More about On the Scatterers' Mobility and Second Order Statistics of Narrowband Fixed Outdoor Wireless Channels.

Using Multimedia to Encourage Public Participation in Planning and Design Decision-making Processes (2010)
Journal Article
Moobela, C., & Mahdjoubi, L. (2010). Using Multimedia to Encourage Public Participation in Planning and Design Decision-making Processes. International Journal of Environmental, Cultural, Economic, and Social Sustainability: Annual Review, 6(5), 149-160. https://doi.org/10.18848/1832-2077/cgp/v06i05/54823

The impetus towards public engagement in many spheres of the human existence has evolved over the years from the doldrums of the top-down approaches to current levels of excitement with collaborative planning. One of the fundamental principles of pub... Read More about Using Multimedia to Encourage Public Participation in Planning and Design Decision-making Processes.

Developing the ability for making evaluative judgements (2010)
Journal Article
Cowan, J. (2010). Developing the ability for making evaluative judgements. Teaching in Higher Education, 15(3), 323-334. https://doi.org/10.1080/13562510903560036

It is suggested that a more specific emphasis should be placed in undergraduate education on the explicit development of the ability to make evaluative judgements. This higher level cognitive ability is highlighted as the foundation for much sound an... Read More about Developing the ability for making evaluative judgements.

Redefining maritime transport infrastructure (2010)
Journal Article
Baird, A. (2010). Redefining maritime transport infrastructure. Proceedings of the ICE - Civil Engineering, 163(5), 29-33. https://doi.org/10.1680/cien.2010.163.5.29

Aided by investigation and analysis of European maritime policies and ongoing transport network developments, this paper redefines maritime transport infrastructure as the ships themselves rather than just the ports at each end. It argues that the se... Read More about Redefining maritime transport infrastructure.

Practitioner talk: the changing textscape of HRM and emergence of HR business partnership (2010)
Journal Article
Keegan, A., & Francis, H. (2010). Practitioner talk: the changing textscape of HRM and emergence of HR business partnership. International Journal of Human Resource Management, 21, 873-898. https://doi.org/10.1080/09585191003729341

It has been evident for some time in mainstream HRM writing, that HR work is largely framed as a business issue, accelerated by new developments in technology and increasing pressures being placed on the function to enhance its contribution to the or...

Cutting vehicle emissions with regenerative braking (2010)
Journal Article
Clarke, P., Muneer, T., & Cullinane, K. (2010). Cutting vehicle emissions with regenerative braking. Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment, 15(3), 160-167. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trd.2009.11.002

This paper presents an analysis of vehicle regenerative braking systems as a quick and relatively easy means of achieving higher overall fuel efficiency and lowering carbon emissions. The system involves the installation of an additional electric mot... Read More about Cutting vehicle emissions with regenerative braking.
