Do Psychological Factors Relate To Energy Saving Behaviours In Inefficient And Damp Homes? A Study Among English Social Housing Residents, C Boomsma, Rv Jones, S Pahl, A Fuertes Jan 2019

Do Psychological Factors Relate To Energy Saving Behaviours In Inefficient And Damp Homes? A Study Among English Social Housing Residents, C Boomsma, Rv Jones, S Pahl, A Fuertes

School of Psychology

Social housing residents are vulnerable to rising energy costs. Reductions in energy use through behaviour change may be part of the solution but require an insight into the factors that relate to energy saving behaviour in this context. This paper responds to recent calls for an integrated approach to studying energy saving behaviours, investigating psychological (i.e. attitudes; perceived behavioural control; subjective norms), contextual (i.e. dwelling energy efficiency; problems with condensation, damp and mould), and socio-demographic factors (i.e. gender; age) together. Data was collected using a cross-sectional survey among social housing residents in South-West England. Dwelling characteristics were not found to …

#Brexit Vs. #Stopbrexit: What Is Trendier? An Nlp Analysis, M Palomino, A Murali Jan 2019

#Brexit Vs. #Stopbrexit: What Is Trendier? An Nlp Analysis, M Palomino, A Murali

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics

Online trends have established themselves as a new method of information propagation that is reshaping journalism in the digital age. We argue that sentiment analysis—the classification of human emotion expressed in text—can enhance existing algorithms for trend discovery. By highlighting topics that are polarised, sentiment analysis can offer insight into the influence of users who are involved in a trend, and how other users adopt such a trend. As a case study, we have investigated a highly topical subject: Brexit, the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union. We retrieved an experimental corpus of publicly available tweets referring …


The Conclusion From One Million Tonnes Of Experience In Galvanizing Steel – Lmac Is Not A Primary Instigator Of Cracking, C Leighfield, Mn James Jan 2019

The Conclusion From One Million Tonnes Of Experience In Galvanizing Steel – Lmac Is Not A Primary Instigator Of Cracking, C Leighfield, Mn James

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics

In the period 2000–2006 occasional instances of serious service cracking in galvanized structural steelwork were detected. At the time it was suggested that the cracks had occurred during the galvanizing process, been covered up by the zinc coating and then opened up during service. Several significant European-wide research projects were initiated to identify and understand the mechanisms that control LMAC during hot dip galvanizing. However, experience in the UK has shown that the frequency of cracking of structural steel during galvanizing is very low, and that when it does occur it is almost invariably due to known factors that influence …

An Analytical Solution Of Distortional Buckling Resistance Of Cold-Formed Steel Channel-Section Beams With Web Openings, Boksun Kim, N Yu, Wei Bin Yuan, Long Yuan Li, F Yu Jan 2019

An Analytical Solution Of Distortional Buckling Resistance Of Cold-Formed Steel Channel-Section Beams With Web Openings, Boksun Kim, N Yu, Wei Bin Yuan, Long Yuan Li, F Yu

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics

Circular holes can be commonly found in the web of cold-formed steel beams to accommodate services such as electric wires and pipelines. The presence of holes will reduce the critical buckling stress of the beams. Hancock proposed solution for determining the distortional critical stress of channel section beams, but limited to the sections without holes. This paper presents an analytical study on the distortional buckling of cold-formed steel channel-section beams with circular holes in the web. Hancock's solution has been modified to derive a simple formulation for approximating the elastic critical stress and moment of distortional buckling of the channel-section …

Environmental Loading Of Heritage Structures, Alison Raby, Alessandro Antonini, Dina D'Ayala, James M.W. Brownjohn Jan 2019

Environmental Loading Of Heritage Structures, Alison Raby, Alessandro Antonini, Dina D'Ayala, James M.W. Brownjohn

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics

Introduction This Special Issue, featuring Environmental Loading of Heritage Structures, provides a snapshot of current civil engineering approaches to assessing ageing structures under a variety of loads. The publication arose from a serendipitous sequence of interactions. Academics at the University of Plymouth were contacted by Trinity House in 2010 to investigate reported vibrations in their rock lighthouses when impacted by storm waves. A pilot study on the nearby Eddystone lighthouse, captured structural response data from the catastrophic storms of 2013/14, and paved the way for a more comprehensive project. The STORMLAMP project brought together expertise across various civil engineering disciplines: …

Microbial Community Responses To Vanadium Distributions In Mining Geological Environments And Bioremediation Assessment, Baogang Zhang, Song Wang, Muhe Diao, Jie Fu, Miaomiao Xie, Jiaxin Shi, Ziqi Liu, Yufeng Jiang, Xuelong Cao, Alistair G.L. Borthwick

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics

AbstractVanadium mining activities can cause contamination of the surrounding geological environment. Vanadium may exist in multiple matrices due to its migration and transformation, forming interactive relationships; however, the connection between vanadium distributions in multiple matrices and microbial community responses remains largely unknown. Vanadium is a redox‐sensitive metal that can be microbiologically reduced and immobilized. To date, bioremediation of vanadium‐contaminated environments by indigenous microorganisms has rarely been evaluated. This paper reports a systematic investigation into vanadium distributions and microbial communities in soils, water, and sediment from Panzhihua, China. Large vanadium contents of 1130.1 ± 9.8 mg/kg and 0.13 ± 0.02 mg/L …
