Database support for taxonomy
Report
Raguenaud, C., Kennedy, J., & Barclay, P. J. (1999). Database support for taxonomy. Napier University

Taxonomists classify the organisms they study in order to refer to, identify and understand them. However, the same organism may at times be classified according to different taxonomic opinions and subsequently have several alternative names or be pl...

Global Application of Digital Twins and Virtual Reality in the Construction Industry: A Systematic Literature Review
Book Chapter
Kazeem, K. O., Olawumi, T. O., & Fernando, N. (in press). Global Application of Digital Twins and Virtual Reality in the Construction Industry: A Systematic Literature Review. In Innovations, Disruptions, and Future Trends in the Global Construction Industry. Taylor & Francis. https://doi.org/10.1201/9781003372233-3

When compared to a computer-generated environment with scenes and objects that appear real, virtual reality (VR) immerses the user in their surroundings. A DT is a virtual model created to represent a physical object accurately. The study aims to pre...

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) root system architecture adaptation to initial soil moisture improves seed development in dry-down conditions
Preprint / Working Paper
Bontpart, T., Robertson, I., Giuffrida, V., Concha, C., Scorza, L. C. T., McCormick, A. J., Fikre, A., Tsaftaris, S. A., & Doerner, P. (2020). Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) root system architecture adaptation to initial soil moisture improves seed development in dry-down conditions

Soil water deficit (WD) impacts vascular plant phenology, morpho-physiology, and reproduction. Chickpea, which is mainly grown in semi-arid areas, is a good model plant to dissect mechanisms involved in drought resistance. We used a rhizobox-based...
