Mechanical characterisation of reclaimed asphalt mixes for modelling purposes (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Lo Presti, D., Brown, L., Kranthi, K., Grenfell, J., Airey, G., Collop, A., & Scarpas, T. (2012, August). Mechanical characterisation of reclaimed asphalt mixes for modelling purposes. Paper presented at Seventh International Conference on Maintenance and Rehabilitation of Pavements and Technological Control

Reclaimed Asphalt (RA) is a 100% recyclable material, but at present in Europe the re-use of RA in mixes is limited and a huge amount of it is simply wasted. Furthermore, the recycling of asphalt often involves a certain downgrading of the material.... Read More about Mechanical characterisation of reclaimed asphalt mixes for modelling purposes.

Mimicking the behaviour of idiotypic AIS robot controllers using probabilistic systems (2009)
Presentation / Conference
Whitbrook, A., Whitbrook, A. M., Aickelin, U., & Garibaldi, J. M. (2009, July). Mimicking the behaviour of idiotypic AIS robot controllers using probabilistic systems. Paper presented at 13th World Multi-Conference on Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics: WMSCI 2009

Previous work has shown that robot navigation systems that employ an architecture based upon the idiotypic network theory of the immune system have an advantage over control techniques that rely on reinforcement learning only. This is thought to be a... Read More about Mimicking the behaviour of idiotypic AIS robot controllers using probabilistic systems.

Hybrid Variable Neighborhood HyperHeuristicsfor Exam Timetabling Problems (2005)
Presentation / Conference
Qu, R., & Burke, E. (2005, August). Hybrid Variable Neighborhood HyperHeuristicsfor Exam Timetabling Problems. Paper presented at The Sixth Metaheuristics International Conference 2005, Vienna, Austria

This paper presents our work on analysing the high level search within a graph based hyperheuristic. The graph based hyperheuristic solves the problem at a higher level by searching through permutations of graph heuristics rather than the actual solu...

Electro-deoxidation of solid chromium oxide in molten chloride salts (2005)
Presentation / Conference
Gordo, E., Chen, G. Z., & Fray, D. J. (2005, February). Electro-deoxidation of solid chromium oxide in molten chloride salts. Paper presented at TMS Annual Meeting 2005, San Francisco, California, U.S.A

Chromium is industrially produced by aluminothermic reduction of Cr 2O3 or electrodeposition from the aqueous NH 4Cr(SO4)2 solution. The former makes more a expensive product than an electrolytic method because the reductant, aluminium, is produced b...

The use of electro-deoxidation to reduce titanium dioxide and other metal oxides (2001)
Presentation / Conference
Fray, D. J., & Chen, G. Z. (2001, October). The use of electro-deoxidation to reduce titanium dioxide and other metal oxides. Paper presented at Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Materials Engineering for Resources

Titanium is usually extracted by the Kroll process in which titanium tetrachloride is reduced by magnesium to form titanium sponge and magnesium chloride. This is an expensive and time consuming process which makes titanium a very expensive metal. Al... Read More about The use of electro-deoxidation to reduce titanium dioxide and other metal oxides.

Camping in the digital wilderness: Tents and flashlights as interfaces to virtual worlds (2001)
Presentation / Conference
Green, J., Schnädelbach, H., Koleva, B., Benford, S., Pridmore, T., Medina, K., …Smith, H. (2001, April). Camping in the digital wilderness: Tents and flashlights as interfaces to virtual worlds. Paper presented at Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems - Proceedings

A projection screen in the shape of a tent provides children with a shared immersive experience of a virtual world based on the metaphor of camping. RFID aerials at its entrances sense tagged children and objects as they enter and leave. Video tracki...

Efficient numerical methods for aeroelastic analysis of wing-propeller configuration compound helicopters
Presentation / Conference
Wang, Z., Anobile, A., & Popov, A. A. Efficient numerical methods for aeroelastic analysis of wing-propeller configuration compound helicopters. Paper presented at Italian Association of Aeronautics and Astronautics XXIV International Conference

Efficient numerical methods for time-domain aeroelastic analysis of a wing structure under a propeller-wing configuration is described in the paper. A linear beam model with deformable elastic axis under torsion and flapping is considered to simulate...
