    Control of mergers: A necessary role for the European Commission

    No full text
    Dr Fishwick has worked on developments in policy towards mergers for several years, including studies for the European Commission's Directorate-General IV. In this article, he specifically considers recent changes in merger policy in France, in the UK, and from the viewpoint of the European Commission. Increasing control over mergers is a very apparent trend, another in the general move towards liberalisation and deregulation inherent in "1992". The author argues that European Community control should outrank national policies since the emphasis of "1992" is more on the international aspects of competition activity than on the national.

    Reuse of Steel in the Construction Industry: Challenges and Opportunities

    No full text
    The construction industry plays a critical role in tackling the challenges of climate change, carbon emissions, and resource consumption. To achieve a low-emission built environment, urgent action is required to reduce the carbon emissions associated with steel production and construction processes. Reusing structural steel elements could make a significant impact in this direction, but there are five key challenges to overcome: limited material availability, maximizing different reusable materials from demolition, lack of adequate design rules and standards, high upfront costs and overlooked carbon impact of the demolition prior to construction, and the need to engage and coordinate the complete construction ecosystem. This article described these barriers and proposed solutions to them by leveraging the digital technologies and artificial intelligence. The proposed solutions aim to promote reuse practices, facilitate the development of certification and regulation for reuse, and minimize the environmental impact of steel construction. The solutions explored here can also be extended to other construction materials

    Eleven publications, presented in two volumes, are contained in this submission. In each case these have been written jointly with another author. In all publications my contribution has been as an equal co-author at all stages: from the original identification of research projects, the development and application of research methodologies, through to the empirical analyses, interpretation and writing up of results.Ph

    An Exploration of Computational Design in the Arts

    No full text
    This Master of Fine Arts thesis paper, An Exploration of Computational Design in the Arts, investigates how computational design tools are being integrated in modern artistic practice. The artwork of the author, Travis Fowler, and adjacent contemporary artists will be investigated. The method of evaluation utilizes a three-pronged approach: material, process, meaning. This form of critique was developed in the 3D Studio at The University of Texas at Dallas and will be the foundation for investigating each project described in this paper. Finally, this document highlights the educational and professional journey of the author, his process of refining a creative practice and select projects from his pursuit of a Master of Fine Arts degree
