Exploring the Big Picture of Smart City Research (2018)
Journal Article
Komninos, N., & Mora, L. (2018). Exploring the Big Picture of Smart City Research. Scienze Regionali-The Italian Journal of Regional Science, 1, 15-38

This paper analyses the big picture of the smart city research field by means of a bibliometric analysis of the literature on smart cities produced between 1992 and 2012. The findings show that this new field of scientific inquiry has started to grow... Read More about Exploring the Big Picture of Smart City Research.

Uncertainty Analysis in Embodied Carbon Assessments: What Are the Implications of Its Omission? (2018)
Book Chapter
Mendoza Beltran, M. A., Pomponi, F., Guinée, J. B., & Heijungs, R. (2018). Uncertainty Analysis in Embodied Carbon Assessments: What Are the Implications of Its Omission?. In F. Pomponi, C. De Wolf, & A. Moncaster (Eds.), Embodied Carbon in Buildings (3-21). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-72796-7_1

Embodied carbon assessments of buildings are not methodologically very different from the more well-known life cycle assessments (LCAs). In particular, the two also share the frequent lack of uncertainty analysis in many assessments produced by acade...

Megasonic elution of waterborne protozoa enhances recovery rates (2018)
Journal Article
Bridle, H., Kerrouche, A., & Desmulliez, M. (2018). Megasonic elution of waterborne protozoa enhances recovery rates. Matters, https://doi.org/10.19185/matters.201712000007

Waterborne pathogens represent a major concern for human and animal health making monitoring of water essential to prevent outbreaks. Sample preparation is critical to assess a spatio-temporally representative volume of water and identify pathogens p...

A smoothed finite element approach for computational fluid dynamics: applications to incompressible flows and fluid–structure interaction (2018)
Journal Article
He, T., Zhang, H., & Zhang, K. (2018). A smoothed finite element approach for computational fluid dynamics: applications to incompressible flows and fluid–structure interaction. Computational Mechanics, https://doi.org/10.1007/s00466-018-1549-x

In this paper the cell-based smoothed finite element method (CS-FEM) is introduced into two mainstream aspects of computational fluid dynamics: incompressible flows and fluid–structure interaction (FSI). The emphasis is placed on the fluid gradient s...
