A comparison of the economic value for enteric methane emissions with other biological traits associated with dairy cows
Journal Article
Bell, M. J., Pryce, J., & Wilson, P. (in press). A comparison of the economic value for enteric methane emissions with other biological traits associated with dairy cows. https://doi.org/10.21694/2379-1047.16002

This is the first study to derive the economic value of enteric methane produced by a ruminant animal. There is considerable interest globally in selecting for low methane-emitting ruminant livestock, as methane is a potent greenhouse gas. However, b...

Human-data interaction
Book Chapter
Mortier, R., Haddadi, H., Henderson, T., McAuley, D., Crowcroft, J., & Crabtree, A. (in press). Human-data interaction. In The encyclopedia of human-computer interaction. Interaction Design Foundation

We have moved from a world where computing is siloed and specialised, to a world where computing is ubiquitous and everyday. In many, if not most, parts of the world, networked computing is now mundane as both foreground (e.g., smartphones, tablets)... Read More about Human-data interaction.

Improving security requirements adequacy: an interval type 2 fuzzy logic security assessment system
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hibshi, H., Breaux, T. D., & Wagner, C. Improving security requirements adequacy: an interval type 2 fuzzy logic security assessment system. Presented at IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence (IEEE SSCI 2016)

Organizations rely on security experts to improve the security of their systems. These professionals use background knowledge and experience to align known threats and vulnerabilities before selecting mitigation options. The substantial depth of expe...

The arpeggigon: declarative programming of a full-fledged musical application
Book
Nilsson, H., & Chupin, G. The arpeggigon: declarative programming of a full-fledged musical application. University of Nottingham

There are many systems and languages for music that essentially are declarative, often following the synchronous dataflow paradigm. As these tools, however, are mainly aimed at artists, their application focus tends to be narrow and their usefulness...

Laser-generated Lamb waves, coupled with a large bandwidth Michelson interferometer, have been demonstrated to accurately measure the thickness of a MEMS pressure sensor diaphragm in the [110] direction of a silicon wafer. Using the reassigned Gabor... Read More about Laser ultrasound measurement of diaphragm thickness, Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio in a MEMS device.

CO2 reduction through low cost electrification of the diesel powertrain at 48V
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Milton, G., Blore, P., Tufail, K., Coates, B. P., Newbigging, I., Cooper, A., & Shayler, P. J. CO2 reduction through low cost electrification of the diesel powertrain at 48V

In order to achieve fleet average CO2 targets, mass market adoption of low CO2 technologies is required. Application of low cost technologies across a large number of vehicles is more cost-effective in reducing fleet CO2 than deploying high-impact, c...

Identifying the factors influencing track degradation on the UK rail network
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Clarke, S., & Prescott, D. Identifying the factors influencing track degradation on the UK rail network. Presented at Stephenson Conference : Research for Railways

As trains traverse track, the smoothness of its vertical geometry decreases. This degradation is linked to many interrelated factors, making it difficult to identify the primary causes. Through the use of multiple layer analysis, each factor was indi... Read More about Identifying the factors influencing track degradation on the UK rail network.
