A vignette study examining the effects of different types of diagnostic procedure and information provision preferences (2012)
Conference Proceeding

A vignette study was conducted to examine attitudes in a student population with respect to three different types of diagnostic procedure (blood test, imaging procedure and invasive procedure) and three different disease areas (coronary, gastroentero...

Finding the creatures of habit: clustering households based on their flexibility in using electricity (2012)
Conference Proceeding

Changes in the UK electricity market, particularly with the roll out of smart meters, will provide greatly increased opportunities for initiatives intended to change households' electricity usage patterns for the benefit of the overall system. Users... Read More about Finding the creatures of habit: clustering households based on their flexibility in using electricity.

The UK's membership of the UN in the event of Scottish independence: written evidence given to the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Commons (2012)
Conference Proceeding

Investigating the feasibility of using asphalt pavements as a source of heating (2012)
Conference Proceeding

This paper evaluates the feasibility of using asphalt pavements as solar energy collectors with copper pipes embedded below the surfaces. Quartzite was investigated as a replacement for limestone aggregate in asphalt for thermal enhancement. Samples...

Advanced geometry modelling of 3D woven reinforcements in polymer composites: processing and performance analysis (2012)
Conference Proceeding

Numerical methods have become increasingly effective tools for analysis and design of composite materials. This study investigates how the inclusion of geometrical variations in modelling 3D woven fabrics affects the accuracy of numerical predictions...

Flexible and dynamic network coding for adaptive data transmission in DTNs (2012)
Conference Proceeding

Existing network coding approaches for Delay-Tolerant Networks (DTNs) do not detect and adapt to congestion in the network. In this paper we describe CafNC (Congestion aware forwarding with Network Coding) that combines adaptive network coding and a... Read More about Flexible and dynamic network coding for adaptive data transmission in DTNs.

A survey of workforce scheduling and routing (2012)
Conference Proceeding

In the context of workforce scheduling, there are many scenarios in which personnel must carry out tasks at different locations hence requiring some form of transportation. Examples of these type of scenarios include nurses visiting patients at home,... Read More about A survey of workforce scheduling and routing.

CFD modelling of an entire synchronous generator for improved thermal management (2012)
Conference Proceeding

This paper is the first in a series dedicated to investigating the airflow and thermal management of electrical machines. Due to the temperature dependent resistive losses in the machine's windings any improvement in cooling provides a direct reducti... Read More about CFD modelling of an entire synchronous generator for improved thermal management.

Evaluation of a digitally controlled power electronic emulator for supercapattery (2012)
Conference Proceeding

Newly developed electrochemical energy storage devices are typically produced as single/small quantity and small size devices. This makes their evaluation very difficult in high power applications that would require production of much larger size dev... Read More about Evaluation of a digitally controlled power electronic emulator for supercapattery.

Synchronization of tool tip and tool orientation contour errors in five-axis machining (2012)
Conference Proceeding

In current CNC machines, each axis is generally controlled by an individual controller, which tries to minimize the axial position tracking error. However, eliminating the tracking errors of each individual axis in multi-axis feed drive systems may n...

Discovering sequential patterns in a UK general practice database (2012)
Conference Proceeding

The wealth of computerised medical information becoming readily available presents the opportunity to examine patterns of illnesses, therapies and responses. These patterns may be able to predict illnesses that a patient is likely to develop, allowin... Read More about Discovering sequential patterns in a UK general practice database.

Evolutionary local search for solving the office space allocation problem (2012)
Conference Proceeding

Office Space Allocation (OSA) is the task of correctly allocating the spatial resources of an institution to a set of entities by minimising the wastage of space and the violation of additional constraints. In this paper, an evolutionary local search... Read More about Evolutionary local search for solving the office space allocation problem.

Achieving the desired transformer leakage inductance necessary in DC-DC converters for energy storage applications (2012)
Conference Proceeding

This paper presents a cost effective winding design and evaluation of a medium frequency isolation transformer typically used in bidirectional isolated DC/DC converters. Since leakage inductance and winding resistance of a high frequency transformer...

Separation of dendritic and T cells using electrowetting and dielectrophoresis (2012)
Conference Proceeding

The research of immune cells is fundamental to many biological studies. Dendritic cells have the ability to induce a primary immune response in resting naive T cells. The aim of this work is to separate the activated T cells from dendritic cells on a... Read More about Separation of dendritic and T cells using electrowetting and dielectrophoresis.
