The Relationship Between Quality Defects And The Thermal Performance Of Buildings, João Alencastro, Alba Fuertes, Wilde P De Jan 2018

The Relationship Between Quality Defects And The Thermal Performance Of Buildings, João Alencastro, Alba Fuertes, Wilde P De

School of Art, Design and Architecture

The construction sector accounts for a significant portion of the total final energy use and carbon emissions worldwide. Despite efforts to reduce energy consumption through energy efficiency improvements in buildings, the measures proposed by the construction sector are falling short. Among several causes which lead buildings to perform differently to what was defined in the design stage, commonly referred to as the ‘energy performance gap’, the occurrence of quality defects has been acknowledged. This paper aims to identify through an in-depth literature review, quality defects which undermine the thermal performance of buildings by comparing the studies’ findings with regard to …


Investigation Of Flocculation Dynamics Under Changing Hydrodynamic Forcing On An Intertidal Mudflat, C Guo, Qing He, Prooijen Bc Van, L Guo, Andrew J. Manning, Sarah Bass Jan 2018

Investigation Of Flocculation Dynamics Under Changing Hydrodynamic Forcing On An Intertidal Mudflat, C Guo, Qing He, Prooijen Bc Van, L Guo, Andrew J. Manning, Sarah Bass

School of Biological and Marine Sciences

© 2017 In situ floc size and turbulent shear stress were measured together with suspended sediment concentration to investigate the floc properties under changing hydrodynamic forcing over the intertidal mudflat. A tripod system was established in the field for a period of approximately one month, including ~ 6 days of stormy conditions in the middle of the investigation period. Mean floc size exhibited strong temporal variations within a tidal cycle, and inverse relationship was found between mean floc size and shear stress. Suspended sediment concentration (SSC) can modulate the flocculation dynamics when shear stress decreases down to enhancing flocculation. Asymmetrical …

Plankton As Prevailing Conditions: A Surveillance Role For Plankton Indicators Within The Marine Strategy Framework Directive, Abigail Mcquatters-Gollop, David Johns, Simon Greenstreet, Jacob Bedford Jan 2018

Plankton As Prevailing Conditions: A Surveillance Role For Plankton Indicators Within The Marine Strategy Framework Directive, Abigail Mcquatters-Gollop, David Johns, Simon Greenstreet, Jacob Bedford

School of Biological and Marine Sciences

The Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) uses an indicator-based approach for ecosystem assessment; indicators of the state of ecosystem components ('state indicators') are used to determine whether, or not, these ecosystem components are at ‘Good Environmental Status’ relative to prevailing oceanographic conditions. Here, it is illustrated that metrics of change in plankton communities frequently provide indications of changing prevailing oceanographic conditions. Plankton indicators can therefore provide useful diagnostic information when interpreting results and determining assessment outcomes for analyses of state indicators across the food web. They can also perform a strategic role in assessing these state indicators by influencing target …

Separate Neural Representations Of Prediction Error Valence And Surprise: Evidence From An Fmri Meta-Analysis., Elsa Fouragnan, Chris Retzler, Marios G. Philiastides Jan 2018

Separate Neural Representations Of Prediction Error Valence And Surprise: Evidence From An Fmri Meta-Analysis., Elsa Fouragnan, Chris Retzler, Marios G. Philiastides

School of Psychology

Learning occurs when an outcome differs from expectations, generating a reward prediction error signal (RPE). The RPE signal has been hypothesized to simultaneously embody the valence of an outcome (better or worse than expected) and its surprise (how far from expectations). Nonetheless, growing evidence suggests that separate representations of the two RPE components exist in the human brain. Meta-analyses provide an opportunity to test this hypothesis and directly probe the extent to which the valence and surprise of the error signal are encoded in separate or overlapping networks. We carried out several meta-analyses on a large set of fMRI studies …
