A strategic review of the offsite construction sector in Scotland. (2013)
Report
Smith, S., Hairstans, R., Macdonald, R., & Sanna, F. (2013). A strategic review of the offsite construction sector in Scotland. Edinburgh, Scotland: Scottish Government

The offsite construction sector covers a wide spectrum of companies and supply chains across Scotland. This study primarily involved a review of the offsite construction sector for homes and buildings. The following key points have been extracted for...

Some Remarks on the Homotopy-Analysis Method and Series Solutions to the Blasius Equation (2013)
Journal Article
Robin, W. (2013). Some Remarks on the Homotopy-Analysis Method and Series Solutions to the Blasius Equation. International Mathematical Forum, 8, 1205-1213. https://doi.org/10.12988/imf.2013.3478

We present an new angle on the introduction of the homotopy-analysis method of Liao [6]. The homotopy-analysis method is then applied to produce a series solution of the Blasius problem in two different ways and comparison made with the work of Wang...

On the Rodrigues Formula Solution of the Hypergeometric-Type Differential Equation (2013)
Journal Article
Robin, W. (2013). On the Rodrigues Formula Solution of the Hypergeometric-Type Differential Equation. International Mathematical Forum, 8, 1455-1466. https://doi.org/10.12988/imf.2013.37133

In this paper, we present a new systematic approach to the solution of the hypergeometric-like differential equation and its associated equation. The method produces, tout court, the general solution of these equations in the form of a combination of...

Timber Post-formed Gridshell: Digital Form-finding / drawing and building tool. (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pone, S., Colabella, S., D'Amico, B., Fiore, A., Lancia, D., & Parenti, B. (2013). Timber Post-formed Gridshell: Digital Form-finding / drawing and building tool.

Summary: This research deals with design, structural analysis and construction of timber post-formed gridshells. Starting from the scale modelling experience, from 1:20 to 1:1 scale, a digital form-finding strategy was early developed with a Building...

Value chain management: an illustration using variability mapping and decision frontier analysis. (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pearson, M. (2013). Value chain management: an illustration using variability mapping and decision frontier analysis.

We address uncertainty and confusion in value chain management through the use of recently developed phase plane and decision frontier analysis. The new methodology enables the distinction between the concept of local, self-inflicted, uncertainty and...

Network Equilibrium and the Spread of Innovation in Technologically Cooperating European SMEs. (2013)
Preprint / Working Paper
Pearson, M. Network Equilibrium and the Spread of Innovation in Technologically Cooperating European SMEs

European technical cooperation data from a recent large survey on small and medium enterprises (SMEs) is used to formulate a proxy network of country typical SMEs (CTSMEs) and reveal measures of centrality, bridging, density and structural equivalenc...

Use of DEM and elastic stability analysis to explain the influence of the intermediate principal stress on shear strength (2013)
Journal Article
O'Sullivan, C., Wadee, M., Hanley, K., & Barreto, D. (2013). Use of DEM and elastic stability analysis to explain the influence of the intermediate principal stress on shear strength. Géotechnique, 63(15), 1298-1309. https://doi.org/10.1680/geot.12.p.153

One interesting aspect of soil response is the sensitivity of the mechanical behaviour to the intermediate principal stress. In this study, a fundamental mechanism that explains the influence of the intermediate stress ratio (b) on soil shear strengt...

How do we share the benefits of walking and cycling? lessons learned from the Active Access project. (2013)
Book Chapter
O'Dolan, C. (2013). How do we share the benefits of walking and cycling? lessons learned from the Active Access project. In W. Gronau, W. Fischer, & R. Pressl (Eds.), Aspects of Active Travel. How to encourage people to walk or cycle in urban areas (11-30). Verlag MetaGISInfosysteme, Mannheim

The benefits of using walking and cycling as a means of daily transport
are numerous and well documented (Rabl & de Nazelle 2012,
de Nazelle et al 2011, Larkin 2009, Cavill et al. 2008, Saelensminde
2004). Targets for increased active travel are b... Read More about How do we share the benefits of walking and cycling? lessons learned from the Active Access project..
