Landau, G. G. Cunha, & S. Saetta (Eds.), The International Workshop on Applied Modelling and Simulation: WAMS, Buizos, 2010. COPPE/UFRJ

In this paper we present our ideas for conducting a cost benefit analysis by using three different methods: scenario analysis, decision trees and simulation. Then we introduce our case study and examine these methods in a real world situation. We sh...

Evaluation of cure shrinkage measurement techniques for thermosetting resins (2010)
Journal Article
Shah, D. U., & Schubel, P. J. (2010). Evaluation of cure shrinkage measurement techniques for thermosetting resins. Polymer Testing, 29(6), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.polymertesting.2010.05.001

Resin chemical shrinkage dictates the surface integrity and the roughness of a composite structure. Thus, to minimize surface failures and to produce a good surface quality it is a requisite to be able to measure and track resin shrinkage during the...

Coupling between perception and action timing during sensorimotor synchronization (2010)
Journal Article
Serrien, D. J., & Spapé, M. M. (2010). Coupling between perception and action timing during sensorimotor synchronization. Neuroscience Letters, 486(3), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neulet.2010.09.056

Time is an important parameter in behaviour, especially when synchronization with external events is required. To evaluate the nature of the association between perception and action timing, this study introduced pitch accented tones during performan...

Reykjavik, Iceland: ACM Press. https://doi.org/10.1145/1868914.1868965

ExoBuilding explores the novel design space that emerges when an individual‟s physiological data and the fabric of building architecture are linked. In its current form ExoBuilding is a tent-like structure that externalises a person‟s physiological d... Read More about ExoBuilding: breathing Life into architecture.

An efficient phased mission reliability analysis for autonomous vehicles (2010)
Journal Article
Remenyte-Prescott, R., Andrews, J., & Chung, P. (2010). An efficient phased mission reliability analysis for autonomous vehicles. Reliability Engineering and System Safety, 95(3), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ress.2009.10.002

Autonomous systems are becoming more commonly used, especially in hazardous situations. Such systems are expected to make their own decisions about future actions when some capabilities degrade due to failures of their subsystems. Such decisions are...

We describe a task used to educate the public on the importance of hearing and the experience of hearing loss. During an open day at Nottingham University, participants were presented with verbal instructions (with or without a background masker) and...

Between compassion and conservatism: a genealogy of British humanitarian sensibilities (2010)
Book Chapter
Pupavac, V. (2010). Between compassion and conservatism: a genealogy of British humanitarian sensibilities. In D. Fassin, & M. Pandolfi (Eds.), Contemporary states of emergency: the politics of military and humanitarian interventions. Zone Books

Abstract: The chapter explores continuities in modern British humanitarianism at its birth two hundred years ago and today. Modern British humanitarianism arose out of the contradictions between humanist ideals, expanding social sympathies, and fears...

Parry, G. P. (2010). Elastic symmetries of defective crystals. Journal of Elasticity, 101(1), https://doi.org/10.1007/s10659-010-9254-9

I construct discrete and continuous crystal structures that are compatible with a given choice of dislocation density tensor, and (following Mal’cev) provide a canonical form for these discrete structures. The symmetries of the discrete structures ex... Read More about Elastic symmetries of defective crystals.

Feature selection for classification of hyperspectral data by SVM (2010)
Journal Article

SVM are attractive for the classification of remotely sensed data with some claims that the method is insensitive to the dimensionality of the data and so not requiring a dimensionality reduction analysis in pre-processing. Here, a series of classifi... Read More about Feature selection for classification of hyperspectral data by SVM.
