Design analysis of a hybrid jet-pump CO2 compression system
Conference Proceeding
Transport refrigeration contributes to anthropogenic global warming directly because of leakage of refrigerant, usually using high global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants, and indirectly because of the greenhouse gases emitted in driving the vehi...

Integrity management and the public service ethos in the UK: patchwork quilt or threadbare blanket?
Conference Proceeding
This paper focuses on the nature of integrity management in contemporary UK public life. Despite traditionally high standards of integrity in the public service, it has recently been argued that the UK’s National Integrity System resembles a patchwor...

A comparison of non-stationary, type-2 and dual surface fuzzy control
Conference Proceeding
Type-1 fuzzy logic has frequently been used in control systems. However this method is sometimes shown to be too restrictive and unable to adapt in the presence of uncertainty. In this paper we compare type-1 fuzzy control with several other fuzzy ap... Read More about A comparison of non-stationary, type-2 and dual surface fuzzy control.
Report on consent in international prisoner transfers
Conference Proceeding
This report, presented to the Council of Europe's Council for Penological Cooperation (PC-CP)(66th Meeting, 8-10 December 2010), outlines the different approaches adopted by the various treaties governing prisoner transfers in relation to consent, an...

Use of enterprise simulation to assess the impacts of remanufacturing operations
Conference Proceeding
Remanufacturing could become a cornerstone of a future sustainable society and considerable progress has been made towards finding technical solutions for the renovation of products or selected components. Not all the barriers to remanufacturing are... Read More about Use of enterprise simulation to assess the impacts of remanufacturing operations.

Comparing non-ipsative measures of party support
Conference Proceeding
Non-ipsative measures of party preference (preference ratings for each of the parties of a political system) have become common in election studies. They exist in different forms, such as thermometer ratings or feeling scores, likes and dislikes scor... Read More about Comparing non-ipsative measures of party support.
A simulation-based framework for a mapping tool that assesses the energy performance of green roofs
Conference Proceeding
This paper presents a framework for the development of a GIS open source mapping tool that aims to disseminate a database with results of detailed simulations in order to assess in a quick and easy way the energy performance of green roof designs acr...

Variance in system dynamics and agent based modelling using the SIR model of infectious diseases
Conference Proceeding
Classical deterministic simulations of epidemiological processes, such as those based on System Dynamics, produce a single result based on a fixed set of input parameters with no variance between simulations. Input parameters are subsequently modifie... Read More about Variance in system dynamics and agent based modelling using the SIR model of infectious diseases.
Density-dependent fitness benefits in quorum-sensing bacterial populations
Journal Article
It has been argued that bacteria communicate using small diffusible signal molecules to coordinate, among other things, the production of factors that are secreted outside of the cells in a process known as quorum sensing (QS). The underlying assumpt... Read More about Density-dependent fitness benefits in quorum-sensing bacterial populations.
Education and development in Africa: lessons of the past 50 years for beyond 2015
Conference Proceeding
As we move to discuss the nature of development targets post 2015, it is timely to consider what lessons can be learnt from 50 years of experiences of attempts to link education and development in Africa. This paper offers a historical account of key... Read More about Education and development in Africa: lessons of the past 50 years for beyond 2015.
Challenging the vocational education and training for development orthodoxy
Conference Proceeding
The orthodox account of vocational education and training for development is firmly based in Neoliberal assumptions about the primacy of the economic. Yet, there are a range of alternative accounts of development, receiving increasing attention, tha... Read More about Challenging the vocational education and training for development orthodoxy.
The effective mathematics department: adding value and increasing participation?
Journal Article
Given the commonly accepted view that having a mathematically well-educated populace is strategically important, there is considerable international interest in raising attainment, and increasing participation, in post-compulsory mathematics educatio...

Lipidomic analysis of serum from horses with strongyle infection
Journal Article
The development of techniques capable of accurate diagnosis of strongyle infections is at the forefront of research in equine parasitology. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential, for using lipidomics in the diagnosis of strongyle infect... Read More about Lipidomic analysis of serum from horses with strongyle infection.
Approaches to movement therapy and their relevance to the design of interactive systems to support rehabilitation
Conference Proceeding
Stroke is a major cause of physical disability for those that survive it. Traditionally, treatment of disability involves interaction with professional trained in the movement therapies. However, there is a growing body of research into interactive s... Read More about Approaches to movement therapy and their relevance to the design of interactive systems to support rehabilitation.
Supervised learning and anti-learning of colorectal cancer classes and survival rates from cellular biology parameters
Conference Proceeding
In this paper, we describe a dataset relating to cellular and physical conditions of patients who are operated upon to remove colorectal tumours. This data provides a unique insight into immunological status at the point of tumour removal,tumour cl...
