Modal Control of Vibration in Rotating Machines and Other Generally Damped Systems (2006)
Conference Proceeding

Second order matrix equations arise in the description of real dynamical systems. Traditional modal control approaches utilise the eigenvectors of the undamped system to diagonalise the system matrices. A regrettable consequence of this approach is t...

Emine Sevgi Özdamars Erzählung »Der Hof im Spiegel«: Spielräume einer postkolonialen Lektüre deutsch-türkischer Literatur (2006)
Journal Article

Im Anschluss an zumeist angloamerikanische Forschung zur deutschsprachigen Migrantenliteratur reflektiert der Beitrag Möglichkeiten und Grenzen einer postkolonialen Lektüre der deutsch-türkischen Literatur. In deren zweiter Entwicklungsphase führen M... Read More about Emine Sevgi Özdamars Erzählung »Der Hof im Spiegel«: Spielräume einer postkolonialen Lektüre deutsch-türkischer Literatur.

Effects of radio-frequency fields on bacterial cell membranes and nematode temperature-sensitive mutants (2006)
Journal Article

Membrane-related bioeffects have been reported in response to both radio-frequency (RF) and extremely low-frequency (ELF) electromagnetic fields (EMFs), particularly in neural cells. We have tested whether RF fields might cause inner membrane leakage... Read More about Effects of radio-frequency fields on bacterial cell membranes and nematode temperature-sensitive mutants.

There’s no place like home: cage odours and place preference in subordinate CD-1 male mice (2006)
Journal Article

Prior studies using mice have shown that scent marks are an important source of information and can cause behavioural changes in other individuals. Studies have also shown that scent marks in the environment can affect the outcome of social interacti...

Artificial Immune Tissue using Self-Organizing Networks (2006)
Conference Proceeding

As introduced by Bentley et al. (2005), artificial immune systems (AIS) are lacking tissue, which is present in one form or another in all living multi-cellular organisms. Some have argued that this concept in the context of AIS brings little novelty... Read More about Artificial Immune Tissue using Self-Organizing Networks.

Alternative logistic concepts and their effect within the company and the supply chain (2006)
Book

This document presents findings from the simulation of a focused factory at Volvo Aero, Trollhättan. A series of experiments were carried out, aimed at testing a range of alternative logistic concepts. Each concept describes an approach to the contro...

Rail passenger crowding, stress, health and safety in Britain (2006)
Journal Article

There has long been a question as to whether crowding in rail passenger transport poses a threat to passenger health related to the experience of stress. A review of the scientific literature was conducted. Little rail-specific empirical research was... Read More about Rail passenger crowding, stress, health and safety in Britain.

A bistable reaction-diffusion system in a stretching flow (2006)
Journal Article

We examine the evolution of a bistable reaction in a one-dimensional stretching flow, as a model for chaotic advection. We derive two reduced systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) for the dynamics of the governing advection-reaction-diffu...

Class-D audio amplifiers with negative feedback (2006)
Journal Article

There are many different designs for audio amplifiers. Class-D, or switching, amplifiers generate their output signal in the form of a high-frequency square wave of variable duty cycle (ratio of on time to off time). The square-wave nature of the ou...

Towards the systematic simplification of mechanistic models (2006)
Journal Article

Mechanistic models used for prediction should be parsimonious, as models which are over-parameterised may have poor predictive performance. Determining whether a model is parsimonious requires comparisons with alternative model formulations with diff... Read More about Towards the systematic simplification of mechanistic models.

Molecular evidence that Heligmosomoides polygyrus from laboratory mice and wood mice are separate species (2006)
Journal Article

The gastro-intestinal (GI) nematode Heligmosomoides polygyrus is an important experimental model in laboratory mice and a well-studied parasite of wood mice in the field. Despite an extensive literature, the taxonomy of this parasite in different hos...

Laying out the future of final-form digital documents (2006)
Conference Proceeding

It is just over 20 years since Adobe's PostScript opened a new era in digital documents. PostScript allows most details of rendering to be hidden within the imaging device itself, while providing a rich set of primitives enabling document engineers t...

Psychiatric treatment: in the absence of law?: R (on the application of B) v. Ashworth Hospital Authority and another, [2005] U.K.H.L. 20 (2006)
Journal Article

This case concerns the scope of the compulsory treatment provisions of the Mental Health Act 1983. In particular, it determines whether persons confined under that Act may be compulsorily treated for any mental disorder or only for the form of mental...
