Development of a Sesma model for short-term investment decision-making. (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jadevicius, A., Sloan, B., & Brown, A. (2012). Development of a Sesma model for short-term investment decision-making.

ARIMA models have been extensively used for property market modelling. Property researchers have used this type of univariate forecasting technique to predict property rents, returns and yields. However, it has been indicated that ARIMA models could... Read More about Development of a Sesma model for short-term investment decision-making..

Total Quality Facilities Management and Innovation: A Synergistic Approach (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ojelabi, M., Pitt, M., & Smith, A. (2012). Total Quality Facilities Management and Innovation: A Synergistic Approach. In Proceedings of the Joint CIB W070, W092 and TG72 International Conference on Facilities Management, Procurement Systems and Public P

The ideas of quality and performance management and innovation in facilities management service provision are not new. Total Quality Management (TQM) is widely recognised throughout the world as a concept capable of providing competitive advantage. I...

Metamaterial biosensor for cancer detection (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
La Spada, L., Bilotti, F., & Vegni, L. (2012). Metamaterial biosensor for cancer detection. In SENSORS, 2011 IEEE. https://doi.org/10.1109/icsens.2011.6127103

In this study a low-cost, compact, and high-performing metamaterial-based biosensor operating in the GHz regime is presented. The sensor is designed to detect the presence of a tumor by means of permittivity and absorption measurements. A shift in th... Read More about Metamaterial biosensor for cancer detection.

Ray-Trace Modelling of a Combined Up-Convertor: Luminescent Solar Concentrator (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerrouche, A., Hardy, D., Ivaturi, A., MacDougall, S., Roaf, S., & Richards, B. (2012). Ray-Trace Modelling of a Combined Up-Convertor: Luminescent Solar Concentrator. In Proceedings of 27th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition. h

An advanced up-converter (UC) luminescent concentrator model is investigated in this research. The model combines photon management with nanotechnology-based, luminescent materials, to increase the efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) solar cells. The con...

Modelling behavioural responses to road tolling. (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Martinez, E., & Stewart, K. (2012, January). Modelling behavioural responses to road tolling. Paper presented at 44th Annual Conference of the University Transport Study Group

Microsimulation modelling is a widely accepted tool in the assessment of the impact of a wide variety of transport schemes. The robustness of a model depends on the accuracy with which traffic behaviour is represented. In the case of road pricing t... Read More about Modelling behavioural responses to road tolling..

Rail Freight in Great Britain – has privatisation made a noticeable difference? (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cowie, J. (2012, January). Rail Freight in Great Britain – has privatisation made a noticeable difference?. Presented at 44th Annual Conference of the University Transport Study Group

This paper briefly outlines the main changes brought about by the Railways Act 1993 with regard to the rail freight sector and then examines development of the sector since that time. It finds that although rail freight levels have increased, these... Read More about Rail Freight in Great Britain – has privatisation made a noticeable difference?.

Persuading people to purchase low-emission cars: The potential role of green policy measures. (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Borthwick, S., & Carreno, M. (2012, January). Persuading people to purchase low-emission cars: The potential role of green policy measures. Paper presented at International Conference on Traffic and Transportation Studies

This paper begins by providing a brief review of the different types of ‘green’ policy taxation measures introduced by various governments to incentivise the purchase of lower emission vehicles (LEVs). A discussion of current understanding of indi... Read More about Persuading people to purchase low-emission cars: The potential role of green policy measures..
