A new approach to predictive modelling of flow of hydrophobically associating polyacrylamide polymers in porous media. (2022)
Thesis
AFOLABI, R.O. 2022. A new approach to predictive modelling of flow of hydrophobically associating polyacrylamide polymers in porous media. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-2929062

Associative polymers provide a high resistance factor due to their thickening effect. However, the high resistance factor may simply reflect pore plugging in the porous media. This offers a significant limitation for the deep propagation of the benef...

Few-shot essay grading: weighted prototypical networks for ordinal text classification. (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
WIJAYASEKARA, V.A., MARTIN, K., WIRATUNGA, N., MASSIE, S. and WIJEKOON, A. [2025]. Few-shot essay grading: weighted prototypical networks for ordinal text classification. To be presented at the 25th European conference on artificial intelligence 2025 (ECAI-2025), 25-30 October 2025, Bologna, Italy.

Automated Essay Scoring (AES) presents a key opportunity to improve student experience while reducing the administrative burden of academic staff. However existing methods for AES are reliant on large volumes of data and fail to consider the ordinal...

An exploration into the relationship between information needs satisfaction and creativity of visual artists in Greece. (2025)
Journal Article
KOLYVAS, S., MARTZOUKOU, K. and KOSTAGIOLAS, P. [2025]. An exploration into the relationship between information needs satisfaction and creativity of visual artists in Greece. Journal of documentation [online], (accepted). To be made available from: https://doi.org/10.1108/JD-04-2025-0087

There is a current research gap based on exploring the information behaviour of visual artists (professional, semi-professional, and amateur) and, particularly, the impact of their information needs satisfaction on their creativity. This research aim... Read More about An exploration into the relationship between information needs satisfaction and creativity of visual artists in Greece..

Characterization of resin-infused nonwoven natural fiber-reinforced epoxy composites for renewable energy structural applications: comparative experimental and finite element analysis. (2025)
Journal Article
OWEN, M.M., WONG, L.S., ACHUKWU, E.O., SHUIB, S. and MD DIN, N.B. 2025. Characterization of resin-infused nonwoven natural fiber-reinforced epoxy composites for renewable energy structural applications: comparative experimental and finite element analysis. Polymer composites [online], Early View. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1002/pc.70064

Natural resource-based composites are biodegradable, eco-friendly, and sustainable; however, variations in their properties and performance quality present significant challenges. This study presents the fabrication and performance evaluation of nonw...

Beyond greening the boardroom: linkages between gender parity and corporate environmental sustainability. (2025)
Book Chapter
EDIAGBONYA, V. and ODUSANYA, T.O. 2025. Beyond greening the boardroom: linkages between gender parity and corporate environmental sustainability. In Crowther, D. and Seifi, S. (eds.) Enacting social responsibility: practical experiences. Singapore: Springer [online], chapter 10, pages 191-209. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-96-4671-5_9

This paper interrogates the intersecting global concerns and the drive for boardroom gender parity and environmental sustainability within corporate governance. Reasoning that apart from the ‘greenish’ effects which are economic and environmentally f...
