Class-D audio amplifiers with negative feedback (2006)
Journal Article
Cox, S. M., & Candy, B. H. (2006). Class-D audio amplifiers with negative feedback. SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, 66(2),

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...

A bistable reaction-diffusion system in a stretching flow (2006)
Journal Article
Cox, S. M., & Gottwald, G. A. (2006). A bistable reaction-diffusion system in a stretching flow. Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 216(2),

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...

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.

Artificial Immune Tissue using Self-Organizing Networks (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Feyereisl, J., & Aickelin, U. (2006). Artificial Immune Tissue using Self-Organizing Networks.

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.

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

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...

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.

Modal Control of Vibration in Rotating Machines and Other Generally Damped Systems (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Houlston, P. R., Garvey, S. D., & Popov, A. A. (2006). Modal Control of Vibration in Rotating Machines and Other Generally Damped Systems.

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...

In the context of active control of rotating machines, standard optimal controller methods enable a trade-off to be made between (weighted) mean-square vibrations and (weighted) mean-square currents injected into magnetic bearings. One shortcoming of... Read More about Optimal Controller Designs for Rotating Machines - Penalising the Rate of Change of Control Forcing.

The Bacillus subtilis DnaI, DnaB and DnaD proteins load the replicative ring helicase DnaC onto DNA during priming of DNA replication. Here we show that DnaI consists of a C-terminal domain (Cd) with ATPase and DNA-binding activities and an N-termina...
