An array of sensors captures the status of appliances. Models for the occupant's a... Read More about Monitoring behavior with an array of sensors.
Particle tracking in Taylor-Couette flow (2007)
Journal Article
The paths of small inertial particles are computed in a steady Taylor vortex background flow. When buoyancy effects are neglected we find that particles denser than the background fluid tend to a limit orbit in the meridional plane. The difference in...

Small towns as 'sub-poles' in English rural development: Investigating rural-urban linkages using sub-regional social accounting matrices (2007)
Journal Article
This paper uses spatial economic data from four small English towns to measure the strength of economic integration between town and hinterland and to estimate the magnitude of town-hinterland spill-over effects. Following estimation of local integra... Read More about Small towns as 'sub-poles' in English rural development: Investigating rural-urban linkages using sub-regional social accounting matrices.
