iSense: a technology platform for cold atom based quantum technologies (2014)
Conference Proceeding

A breakthrough in cold atom quantum technology is hindered by a bottleneck in the supporting technologies. We discuss a cold atom technology platform developed within the European iSense project, aiming at a gravimeter as demonstrator.

Optimized Temporal Multiplexing for Reservoir Computing with a Single Delay-Coupled Node (2014)
Conference Proceeding

The computational performance of reservoir computers based on a single delay-coupled node is critically dependent on the temporal multiplexing of input to the reservoir. Here we present an optimization of the temporal multiplexing by means of optimiz... Read More about Optimized Temporal Multiplexing for Reservoir Computing with a Single Delay-Coupled Node.

Implementation of a multi-level Power Electronic Inverter library in Modelica (2014)
Conference Proceeding

This paper presents a newly developed Power Electronic Inverter library in Modelica. The library utilises a multi-level approach with increasing model complexity at progressively higher levels. All levels are fully interchangeable so as to provide a... Read More about Implementation of a multi-level Power Electronic Inverter library in Modelica.

Implementation of a Modelica library for simulation of electromechanical actuators for aircraft and helicopters (2014)
Conference Proceeding

The goal of the A2015 library presented in this paper is to develop a Modelica based, tool-independent standard for electromechanical actuators (EMA). This will contribute to the establishment of a “common language” throughout the development of EMAs...

A development and integration framework for optimisation-based enterprise solutions (2014)
Conference Proceeding

The operations research literature includes some papers describing collaborative work between researchers and industry. However, not much literature exists that outlines methodologies to guide the development of a decision support module and its inte...

Towards individualised persuasive technology for obesity prevention in teenagers (2014)
Conference Proceeding

Obesity is a major clinical problem for individuals and health care systems worldwide, alarmingly fuelled by body mass excess in the juvenile age. In spite of its multi-factorial origin, unhealthy lifestyles relative to alimentary behaviours and phys...

Analytical modeling of split-phase synchronous reluctance machines (2014)
Conference Proceeding

Synchronous reluctance (SynRel) motors with rotor flux barriers are gaining increasing attractiveness in automotive applications thanks to their cheap, rugged and magnet-free rotor construction. When equipped with a split-phase stator winding and sup... Read More about Analytical modeling of split-phase synchronous reluctance machines.

Road network modelling for maintenance planning (2014)
Conference Proceeding

In this paper a novel road network flow model is presented, suitable for modelling both motor-way and urban roads. A road network is modelled using a directed graph, consisting of typical roads and junctions, with different traffic flow inputs throug...

Supporting group interactions in museum visiting (2014)
Conference Proceeding

Ethnographic study in two contrasting museums highlights a widespread but rarely documented challenge for CSCW design. Visitors' engagement with exhibits often ends prematurely due to the need to keep up with or attend to fellow group members. We unp...

Ubiquitous positioning: a pipe dream or reality? (2014)
Conference Proceeding

A fairy tale approach to cooperative vehicle positioning (2014)
Conference Proceeding

This paper outlines an innovative approach to the cooper-ative positioning of road vehicles by sharing GNSS informa-tion. Much like the children’s fairy tale Hanzel and Gretel by the Brothers Grimm, GNSS receivers on road vehicles generate detailed V... Read More about A fairy tale approach to cooperative vehicle positioning.

A centering correction method for GNSS antenna diversity theory and implementation using a software receiver (2014)
Conference Proceeding

GPS is performing well in open sky situation. However, severe attenuation or blockage of signals by high buildings may leads to an insufficient number of received satellites. Antenna diversity scheme is viewed as a method to alleviate signal attenuat... Read More about A centering correction method for GNSS antenna diversity theory and implementation using a software receiver.

The relevance of mathematics: The case of functional mathematics for vocational students (2014)
Conference Proceeding

This study of recent school-leavers in Further Education explores students’ opinions of relevance and how these are influenced by their experiences of different mathematics curricula in school and college. These vocational students are taught mathema... Read More about The relevance of mathematics: The case of functional mathematics for vocational students.

The role of sample pupil responses in problem-solving lessons: perspectives from a design researcher and two teachers (2014)
Conference Proceeding

The benefits of learning mathematics by comparing, reflecting on and discussing multiple approaches to a problem are well-known (Silver, 2005). However, teachers using non-routine problem-solving tasks designed to encourage multiple approaches face c...

‘Can’t you just tell us the rule?’: teaching procedures relationally (2014)
Conference Proceeding

It is now almost 40 years since Skemp’s (1976) seminal division of understanding into ‘instrumental’ and ‘relational’ categories, yet the current political direction of mathematics education in the UK is decidedly towards the traditional teaching of...

Musical intersections across the digital and physical (2014)
Conference Proceeding

Digital musical experiences are commonplace, everyday occurrences for many of us. Digital technologies facilitate where, how and what we access, and they increasingly offer new methods for capturing, sharing, enhancing and supporting such musical exp...

Saturable and dispersive parity-time symmetric directional coupler: a transmission-line modelling study (2014)
Conference Proceeding

In this paper, numerical modelling of Parity-Time (PT) coupled waveguides is reported. The PT coupled waveguide structure consists of two coupled slab waveguides based on GaAs material with gain/loss material parameter models, including both dispersi...

Incorporating spontaneous reporting system data to aid causal inference in longitudinal healthcare data (2014)
Conference Proceeding

Inferring causality using longitudinal observational databases is challenging due to the passive way the data are collected. The majority of associations found within longitudinal observational data are often non-causal and occur due to confounding....
