Analysis of SiC MOSFETs under hard and soft-switching (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Analytical models for hard-switching and soft-switching SiC MOSFETs and their experimental validation are described in this paper. The models include the high frequency parasitic components in the circuit and enable very fast, accurate simulation of... Read More about Analysis of SiC MOSFETs under hard and soft-switching.

Modelling the Effect of Individual Differences in Punishment Sensitivity on Behaviour in a Public Goods Game (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Previous research on social dilemmas demonstrated that various forms of punishment for free-riding can increase contribution levels in public goods games. The way individual group members react to the possibility of punishment can be also affected by...

Fast and exact bi-directional fitting of active appearance models (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Finding landmarks on objects like faces is a challenging computer vision problem, especially in real life conditions (or in-the-wild) and Active Appearance Models have been widely used to solve it. State-of-the-art algorithms for fitting an AAM to a... Read More about Fast and exact bi-directional fitting of active appearance models.

Development and testing of an experimental power system fault demonstrator (2015)
Conference Proceeding

In this paper a laboratory demonstrator for the study of power system faults is described. The facility has been developed in order to experimentally investigate a number of fault location and power system protection technologies developed by the aut...

Modelling and simulation of rail passengers to evaluate methods to reduce dwell times (2015)
Conference Proceeding

The paper outlines a feasibility study using modelling and simulation to reduce dwell times and increase rail network capacity. We use agent based modelling, where passengers are treated as a separate entities, basing their movements on rules from th...

Wilderness, camera, action: conservation, commercialisation and change in National Parks landscapes (2015)
Conference Proceeding

How is wilderness defined, and how do such definitions change over time? It has long been recognised that the idea of wilderness and perceptions of nature in general, are socially, politically, culturally and legally constructed. In this paper, a hig...

Human data interaction: historical lessons from social studies and CSCW (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Human Data Interaction (HDI) is an emerging field of research that seeks to support end-users in the day-to-day management of their personal digital data. This is a programmatic paper that seeks to elaborate foundational challenges that face HDI from... Read More about Human data interaction: historical lessons from social studies and CSCW.

The image of the city in the information era: analyzing the effect of digital mobile devices on city imaging process (2015)
Conference Proceeding

This paper presents the early stages of a PhD research which attempts to analyze the effect of using digital mobile devices on the process of city imaging in The Information Era. Within this process, some guidelines are suggested in order to facilita...

Contribution of Ref(2)p to regulation of Drosophila notum epithelial cell apico-basal polarity and phenotype (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Cell polarity impacts on the maintenance of cell shape, cell-cell junction integrity, and protrusion formation and dynamics. Further, polarity additionally regulates cell movement, proliferation and differentiation. Conversely when cells lose their p...

A data analysis framework to rank HGV drivers (2015)
Conference Proceeding

We report on the details of the methodology applied to support shortlisting the nominees for the Microlise Driver of the Year awards. The aim was to recognise the United Kingdom’s most talented heavy goods vehicle (HGV) drivers, with the list of top... Read More about A data analysis framework to rank HGV drivers.

Polymonad programming in Haskell (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Polymonads were recently introduced by Hicks et al. as a unified approach to programming with different notions of monads. Their work was mainly focussed on foundational aspects of the approach. In this article, we show how to incorporate the notion... Read More about Polymonad programming in Haskell.

Estimating current derivatives for sensorless motor drive applications (2015)
Conference Proceeding

The PWM current derivative technique for sensorless control of AC machines requires current derivative measurements under certain PWM vectors. This is often not possible under narrow PWM vectors due to high frequency (HF) oscillations which affect th... Read More about Estimating current derivatives for sensorless motor drive applications.
