Fuzzy-based dynamic distributed queue scheduling for packet switched networks (2013)
Journal Article

Addressing the problem of queue scheduling for the packet-switched system is a vital aspect of congestion control. In this paper, the fuzzy logic based decision method is adopted for queue scheduling in order to enforce some level of control for traf...

Modelling manufacturing deformations in corner sections made of composite materials (2013)
Journal Article

A three-step finite element model has been implemented to predict the spring-in of L-shaped parts. The material property development during the cure has been modelled as step changes during transitions between viscous, rubbery and glassy states of th...

Variable stiffness biological and bio-inspired materials (2013)
Journal Article

This article reviews the main mechanisms of stiffness variation typically found in nature. The temporal changes in stiffness may be fully or partially reversible, or completely irreversible, and can be very slow or fast in time depending on the strat...

Monge-Ampére based moving mesh methods for numerical weather prediction, with applications to the Eady problem (2013)
Journal Article

We derive a moving mesh method based upon ideas from optimal transport theory which is suited to solving PDE problems in meteorology. In particular we show how the Parabolic Monge-Ampére method for constructing a moving mesh in two-dimensions can be...

Assessment of non-uniform shrinkage in the laser sintering of polymer materials (2013)
Journal Article

Laser sintering technologies are well established in the rapid prototyping and rapid manufacturing industries, producing a wide range of products for an ever-increasing number of industry sectors. In theory, these processes facilitate direct digital... Read More about Assessment of non-uniform shrinkage in the laser sintering of polymer materials.

Face recognition and verification using photometric stereo: The photoface database and a comprehensive evaluation (2013)
Journal Article

This paper presents a new database suitable for both 2-D and 3-D face recognition based on photometric stereo (PS): the Photoface database. The database was collected using a custom-made four-source PS device designed to enable data capture with mini...

The effect of whisker movement on radial distance estimation: A case study in comparative robotics (2013)
Journal Article

Whisker movement has been shown to be under active control in certain specialist animals such as rats and mice. Though this whisker movement is well characterized, the role and effect of this movement on subsequent sensing is poorly understood. One...

Incorporating clinical metadata with digital image features for automated identification of cutaneous melanoma (2013)
Journal Article

Abstract Background Computer-assisted diagnosis (CAD) of malignant melanoma (MM) has been advocated to help clinicians in achieving a more objective and reliable assessment. However, conventional CAD systems only examine the features extracted from...
