Discrepancy and signed domination in graphs and hypergraphs (2010)
Journal Article
Poghosyan, A., & Zverovich, V. (2010). Discrepancy and signed domination in graphs and hypergraphs. Discrete Mathematics, 310(15-16), 2091-2099. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.disc.2010.03.030

For a graph G, a signed domination function of G is a two-colouring of the vertices of G with colours +1 and -1 such that the closed neighbourhood of every vertex contains more +1's than -1's. This concept is closely related to combinatorial discrepa... Read More about Discrepancy and signed domination in graphs and hypergraphs.

Perceptions of nonhuman primates in human-wildlife conflict scenarios (2010)
Journal Article
Hill, C. M., & Webber, A. D. (2010). Perceptions of nonhuman primates in human-wildlife conflict scenarios. American Journal of Primatology, 72(10), 919-924. https://doi.org/10.1002/ajp.20845

Nonhuman primates (referred to as primates in this study) are sometimes revered as gods, abhorred as evil spirits, killed for food because they damage crops, or butchered for sport. Primates' perceived similarity to humans places them in an anomalous... Read More about Perceptions of nonhuman primates in human-wildlife conflict scenarios.

3D face reconstructions from photometric stereo using near infrared and visible light (2010)
Journal Article

This paper seeks to advance the state-of-the-art in 3D face capture and processing via novel Photometric Stereo (PS) hardware and algorithms. The first contribution is a new high-speed 3D data capture system, which is capable of acquiring four raw im...

Modeling and optimization of adaptive foraging in swarm robotic systems (2010)
Journal Article
Liu, W., & Winfield, A. F. (2010). Modeling and optimization of adaptive foraging in swarm robotic systems. International Journal of Robotics Research, 29(14), 1743-1760. https://doi.org/10.1177/0278364910375139

Understanding the effect of individual parameters on the collective performance of swarm robotic systems in order to design and optimize individual robot behaviors is a significant challenge. In this paper we present a macroscopic probabilistic model... Read More about Modeling and optimization of adaptive foraging in swarm robotic systems.

Interactive, evolutionary search in upstream Object-oriented class design (2010)
Journal Article
Parmee, I. C., Simons, C., & Gwynllyw, R. (2010). Interactive, evolutionary search in upstream Object-oriented class design. IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, 36(6), 798-816. https://doi.org/10.1109/TSE.2010.34

Although much evidence exists to suggest that early life cycle software engineering design is a difficult task for software engineers to perform, current computational tool support for software engineers is limited. To address this limitation, intera... Read More about Interactive, evolutionary search in upstream Object-oriented class design.

Steady-state steering of a tilting three-wheeled vehicle (2010)
Journal Article
Barker, M., Drew, B., Darling, J., Edge, K. A., & Owen, G. W. (2010). Steady-state steering of a tilting three-wheeled vehicle. Vehicle System Dynamics, 48(7), 815-830. https://doi.org/10.1080/00423110903147474

The design of a narrow-track enclosed vehicle for urban transport was the subject of the CLEVER project. Due to its narrow track and requirement for car-like controls, an actively controlled tilting system was integrated into the chassis to allow for...

The barriers to realising sustainable process improvement: A root cause analysis of paradigms for manufacturing systems improvement (2010)
Journal Article
Hicks, B., & Matthews, J. (2010). The barriers to realising sustainable process improvement: A root cause analysis of paradigms for manufacturing systems improvement. International Journal of Computer Integrated Manufacturing, 23(7), 585-602. https://doi.org/10.1080/0951192X.2010.485754

To become world-class, manufacturing organisations employ an array of tools and methods to realise process improvement. However, many of these fail to meet expectations and/or bring about new less well understood problems. Hence, prior to developing...

Generation of spatio-temporal concentration profiles for cell culture systems: A case study in ammonia (2010)
Journal Article
Yue, X., Drakakisa, E. M., Mantalaris, A., & Cass, A. (2010). Generation of spatio-temporal concentration profiles for cell culture systems: A case study in ammonia. Measurement, 43(9), 1207-1216. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.measurement.2010.05.012

Cellular behavior is influenced by micro-concentration gradients existing in their immediate spatio-environment. A practical real-time measurement system, composed of miniaturized long-lasting sensors placed within a two-dimensional bioreactor and a...

Limiting behaviour of particles in Taylor-Couette flow (2010)
Journal Article
Henderson, K., & Gwynllyw, R. (2010). Limiting behaviour of particles in Taylor-Couette flow. Journal of Engineering Mathematics, 67(1), 85-94. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10665-009-9321-z

Negatively buoyant inertial particles are tracked in a steady Taylor vortex background flow with gravity acting along the axis of the cylinders. Particles are found to either fall through the apparatus due to gravity or to be within retention zones.... Read More about Limiting behaviour of particles in Taylor-Couette flow.

Ant search strategies after interrupted tandem runs (2010)
Journal Article
Franks, N. R., Richardson, T. O., Keir, S., Inge, S. J., Bartumeus, F., & Sendova-Franks, A. B. (2010). Ant search strategies after interrupted tandem runs. Journal of Experimental Biology, 213(10), 1697-1708. https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.031880

Tandem runs are a form of recruitment in ants. During a tandem run, a single leader teaches one follower the route to important resources such as sources of food or better nest sites. In the present study, we investigate what tandem leaders and follo... Read More about Ant search strategies after interrupted tandem runs.
