Central recirculation zone analysis in an unconfined tangential swirl burner with varying degrees of premixing (2011)
Journal Article

Swirl-stabilised combustion is one of the most widely used techniques for flame stabilisation, uses ranging from gas turbine combustors to pulverised coal-fired power stations. In gas turbines, lean premixed systems are of especial importance, giving...

Nonparametric Regression on a Graph (2011)
Journal Article

The 'Signal plus Noise' model for nonparametric regression can be extended to the case of observations taken at the vertices of a graph. This model includes many familiar regression problems. This article discusses the use of the edges of a graph to... Read More about Nonparametric Regression on a Graph.

Effects of earthing systems on stray current for corrosion and safety behaviour in practical metro systems (2011)
Journal Article

Running rails are used as the return path for the train current in most DC electrified rail transit systems. The resultant rail voltage causes stray current to return to the DC supply source via other paths, such as nearby metallic infrastructure. St...

A comparison of dietary patterns derived by cluster and principal components analysis in a UK cohort of children (2011)
Journal Article

Background/Objectives: The objective of this study was to identify dietary patterns in a cohort of 7-year-old children through cluster analysis, compare with patterns derived by principal components analysis (PCA), and investigate associations with s...

Gathering and presenting social feedback to change domestic electricity consumption (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper describes the CHARM Energy Study in which mobile technology is used to study the impact of social group feedback on household energy consumption. We describe the background and rationale behind the study, the technology which supports th... Read More about Gathering and presenting social feedback to change domestic electricity consumption.

Ants in a labyrinth: A statistical mechanics approach to the division of labour (2011)
Journal Article

Division of labour (DoL) is a fundamental organisational principle in human societies, within virtual and robotic swarms and at all levels of biological organisation. DoL reaches a pinnacle in the insect societies where the most widely used model is... Read More about Ants in a labyrinth: A statistical mechanics approach to the division of labour.

Determination of sensor neighbour relationships using probabilistic approach (2011)
Journal Article

Investigating the effects of fluidic connection between microbial fuel cells (2011)
Journal Article

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) can 'treat' wastewater but individually are thermodynamically restricted. Scale-up might, therefore, require a plurality of units operating in a stack which could introduce losses simply through fluidic connections. Experi...

In-cylinder studies of CAI/HCCI combustion with negative valve overlap in a direct injection gasoline optical engine (2011)
Journal Article

The CAI/HCCI combustion was achieved through residual gas trapping using the negative valve overlap method in a direct injection single-cylinder gasoline engine with optical access. Effects of injection timing and spark discharge on the engines perfo...

Impact of distributed generators on arcing faults in distribution networks (2011)
Journal Article

Increased fault level is one of the main concerns connected to the integration of distributed generation (DG) into distribution networks. To accurately calculate fault currents in distribution systems with a high penetration of DG, a realistic fault...

Group dynamics and record signals in the ant Temnothorax albipennis (2011)
Journal Article

Many purely physical complex systems, in which there are both stochasticity and local interactions between the components, exhibit record dynamics. The temporal statistics of record dynamics is a Poisson process operating on a logarithmic rather than... Read More about Group dynamics and record signals in the ant Temnothorax albipennis.

Blinkered teaching: Tandem running by visually impaired ants (2011)
Journal Article

During tandem runs, one ant worker recruits another to an important resource. Here, we begin to investigate how dependent are tandem leaders and followers on visual cues by painting over their compound eyes to impair their vision. There are two ways...

Haptic human-robot collaboration: Comparison of robot partner implementations in terms of human-likeness and task performance (2011)
Journal Article

In the past, working spaces of humans and robots were strictly separated, but recent developments have sought to bring robots into closer interaction with humans. In this context, physical human-robot interaction represents a major challenge, as it i...
