Cardiac training simulator using pump with electronic pressure sensor to trigger ventricular fibrillation (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Craven, M., Newman, S., Fletcher, M., Silvera, B., Coore, D., Forbes, N., & Ramphal, P. (2003, April). Cardiac training simulator using pump with electronic pressure sensor to trigger ventricular fibrillation. Presented at IEEE SoutheastCon, 2003, Ocho Rios, Jamaica

Cardiac surgery training in a realistic surgical environment is assisted by a simulator based on an electromechanical pneumatic pump with associated control and display software. In this paper we describe a feedback mechanism for controlling the beat... Read More about Cardiac training simulator using pump with electronic pressure sensor to trigger ventricular fibrillation.

Determination of endocrine disrupters in sewage treatment and receiving waters (2003)
Journal Article
Gomes, R. L., Scrimshaw, M. D., & Lester, J. N. (2003). Determination of endocrine disrupters in sewage treatment and receiving waters. Trends in Analytical Chemistry, 22(10), 697-707. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0165-9936%2803%2901010-0

The presence of numerous endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) in surface waters and sediment has been primarily attributed to their incomplete removal in the sewage-treatment process. Determination of these chemicals is required in order to assess t... Read More about Determination of endocrine disrupters in sewage treatment and receiving waters.

Fuzzy Recognition of Cricket Batting Strokes Based on Sequences of Body and Bat Postures (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kelly, M., Curtis, K. M., & Craven, M. (2003, April). Fuzzy Recognition of Cricket Batting Strokes Based on Sequences of Body and Bat Postures. Presented at IEEE SoutheastCon, 2003, Ocho Rios, Jamaica

A mathematical classification of two cricket batting strokes, using fuzzy set theory, is presented. A system is proposed within this paper, to capture the motion of a batsman/batswoman whilst playing a stroke. This is then compared to known strokes,...
