A circular economy life cycle costing model (CE-LCC) for building components

Resources, Conservation and Recycling, 2020
The building industry is responsible for the highest resource use, amount of waste and emissions of all industries. The principles of the Circular Economy (CE) could offer an approach to create a more sustainable built environment. For a transition towards a circular built environment, a comprehensive assessment method is needed to support the ...

A gentrification stage‐model for London? Through the ‘looking Glass’ of Kensington

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, EarlyView.
Short Abstract Despite the term ‘gentrification’ being coined in London by the British sociologist Ruth Glass, there has not been an attempt to develop a stage model of gentrification for London, nor any up‐to‐date discussion of the different waves of gentrification there in one academic paper or book.

Utility of local capillary supply indices: Insights from computational image‐based modelling

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Local capillary distribution and fibre geometry influence oxygen availability in skeletal muscle. Image‐based modelling of tissue PO2${{P}_{{{{\mathrm{O}}}_2}}}$ shows that area‐based measures of capillary supply – the local capillary density (LCDi) and local maximum diffusion distance (Dmax,i) – most accurately represent the ...
