Managers' perceptions of modern slavery risk in a UK health-care supply network (2018)
Conference Proceeding

In this paper we argue that, to fully understand managers’ perceptions of modern slavery risk in the context of a UK health-care supply chain, it is necessary to adopt a ‘labour’ supply chain lens that puts the employment relationship at the heart of...

Formative assessment lessons for concept development and problem solving (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Formative assessment is the process by which teachers and students gather evidence of learning and then use this to adapt the way they teach and learn in the classroom. In this paper we describe a design research project in which we integrated format... Read More about Formative assessment lessons for concept development and problem solving.

Exploring caregivers’ experiences of caring for men with advanced prostate cancer in a resource-poor setting: a qualitative serial interview study (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Background: Family caregivers who assume the responsibility of care for patients living with advanced diseases could have challenges especially in resource-poor settings. The bulk and responsibility for care are predominantly provided by the family c...

Bidirectional partial power converter interface for energy storage systems to provide peak shaving in grid-tied PV plants (2018)
Conference Proceeding

The ever growing participation of modern renewable resources in electric markets has shaken the paradigm of generation-demand constant match. Most modern renewables add intermittent behaviour and high variability to electric markets, forcing other re...

Synthesis of orchestrations of transducers for manufacturing (2018)
Conference Proceeding

In this paper, we model manufacturing processes and facilities as transducers (automata with output). The problem of whether a given manufacturing process can be realized by a given set of manufacturing resources can then be stated as an orchestratio...

Fuzzy C-means-based scenario bundling for stochastic service network design (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Stochastic service network designs with uncertain demand represented by a set of scenarios can be modelled as a large-scale two-stage stochastic mixed-integer program (SMIP). The progressive hedging algorithm (PHA) is a decomposition method for solvi... Read More about Fuzzy C-means-based scenario bundling for stochastic service network design.

A European, multicentre, phase III, clinical trial of hypothermia for acute ischaemic stroke: EuroHYP-1 (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Using goal programming on estimated Pareto fronts to solve multiobjective problems (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Modern multiobjective algorithms can be computationally inefficient in producing good approximation sets for highly constrained many-objective problems. Such problems are common in real-world applications where decision-makers need to assess multiple...

The USNO-UKIRT K-band Hemisphere Survey (2018)
Conference Proceeding

We present initial results from the United States Naval Observatory (USNO) and UKIRT K-band Hemisphere Survey (U2HS), currently underway using the Wide Field Camera (WFCAM) installed on UKIRT on Maunakea. U2HS is a collaborative effort undertaken by... Read More about The USNO-UKIRT K-band Hemisphere Survey.

Functional modelling in evolvable assembly systems (2018)
Conference Proceeding

The design and reconfiguration of adaptive production systems is a key driver in modern advanced manufacturing. We summarise the use of an ap-proach from the field of functional modelling to capture the function, behaviour, and structure of a system....

Design and fabrication of a low cost desktop electrochemical 3D printer (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Additive manufacturing (AM) (3D printing) is the process of creating 3D objects from digital models through the layer by layer deposition of materials. Electrochemical additive manufacturing (ECAM) is a relatively new technique which can create metal... Read More about Design and fabrication of a low cost desktop electrochemical 3D printer.

Voci di Britannia: microstorie di latinizzazione (2018)
Conference Proceeding

In questa sede vorremmo offrire un breve excursus della situazione linguistica della Britannia romana (I e il IV secolo d.C.). La maggiore fonte di informazioni proviene da testi non-letterari scritti su tavolette cerate, a inchiostro o su lamine met... Read More about Voci di Britannia: microstorie di latinizzazione.

A preliminary study on automatic algorithm selection for short-term traffic forecasting (2018)
Conference Proceeding

© 2018, Springer Nature Switzerland AG. Despite the broad range of Machine Learning (ML) algorithms, there are no clear baselines to find the best method and its configuration given a Short-Term Traffic Forecasting (STTF) problem. In ML, this is know... Read More about A preliminary study on automatic algorithm selection for short-term traffic forecasting.

The Coinductive Formulation of Common Knowledge (2018)
Conference Proceeding

© 2018, Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature. We study the coinductive formulation of common knowledge in type theory. We formalise both the traditional relational semantics and an operator semantics, similar in form to the e... Read More about The Coinductive Formulation of Common Knowledge.
