Purpose Despite the undeniable need for innovation in hospital building design, the
literature highlights the disconnect between research and practice as the primary knowledge …

We have developed a numerical scheme for the second‐order acoustic wave equation
based on the Lie product formula and Taylor‐series expansion. The scheme has been …

We present efficient and accurate modelling of seismic wavefields in anelastic media. We
use a first‐order viscoelastic wave equation based on the generalized Robertsson's …

We propose a new numerical solution to the first‐order linear acoustic/elastic wave
equation. This numerical solution is based on the analytic solution of the linear …

This thesis conceptualises the evolution of hospital building design and identifies and
explains the main factors triggering design innovation over the past 100 years. This study …

In the urban scaling hypothesis, it has been noted that cities exhibit self-similar behaviour.
Much of the scaling literature focuses on cities, whilst not including rural regions. Initially …
