Longitudinal comparisons of dietary patterns derived by cluster analysis in 7- to 13-year-old children (2012)
Journal Article

Little is known about changes in dietary patterns over time. The present study aims to derive dietary patterns using cluster analysis at three ages in children and track these patterns over time. In all, 3 d diet diaries were completed for children f... Read More about Longitudinal comparisons of dietary patterns derived by cluster analysis in 7- to 13-year-old children.

Whisker texture classification with uncertain contact pose geometry (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Tactile sensing can be an important source of
information for robots, and texture discrimination in partic-
ular is useful in object recognition and terrain identification.
Whisker based tactile sensing has recently been shown to be
a promising a... Read More about Whisker texture classification with uncertain contact pose geometry.

The enhanced assumed strain method for the isogeometric analysis of nearly incompressible deformation of solids (2012)
Journal Article

Isogeometric analysis has recently become very popular for the numerical modeling of structures and fluids. Among other potential features, advantages of using a non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS)-based isogeometric analysis over the traditional...

Transient fuel spray impingement at atmospheric and elevated ambient conditions (2012)
Journal Article

This study analyses detailed temporally resolved full flow field data for pre- and post-impingement fuel sprays under atmospheric and elevated ambient conditions. A comprehensive suite of diagnostic techniques is utilised comprising of phase-resolved... Read More about Transient fuel spray impingement at atmospheric and elevated ambient conditions.

Deviation and failure of enhanced recovery after surgery following laparoscopic colorectal surgery: Early prediction model (2012)
Journal Article

Aim Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programmes are well established, but deviation from the postoperative elements may result in delayed discharge. Early identification of such patients may allow remedial action to be taken. The aims of this s...

Validation of virtual reality simulation for obstetric ultrasonography: A prospective cross-sectional study (2012)
Journal Article

INTRODUCTION: Ultrasonography is an important skill for obstetricians and gynecologists; however, trainees have highlighted ultrasonography as an area of deficiency in their training. We undertook a prospective cross-sectional comparative study to as... Read More about Validation of virtual reality simulation for obstetric ultrasonography: A prospective cross-sectional study.

Application of modern creep lifing techniques to a gamma-TiAl alloy (Ti- 45Al-2Mn-2Nb) (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Intermetallic materials such as gamma titanium alumindes (-TiAl) offer an extremely attractive balance of properties. In support of potential engineering applications it is essential that the material properties are well understood across a wide tem...

Dietary patterns obtained through principal components analysis: The effect of input variable quantification (2012)
Journal Article

Principal components analysis (PCA) is a popular method for deriving dietary patterns. A number of decisions must be made throughout the analytic process, including how to quantify the input variables of the PCA. The present study aims to compare the...

Illumination compensation for nominally planar surface recovery (2012)
Journal Article

A uniform distribution of illumination radiance across the surface of objects of interest is desired for most scene analysis approaches, including that of photometric stereo. Either specially designed parallel illumination or distant point light sour... Read More about Illumination compensation for nominally planar surface recovery.

Towards an anthropomorphic design of minimally invasive instrumentation for soft tissue robotic surgery (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Minimally invasive procedures, such as laparoscopy, have significantly decreased blood loss, postoperative morbidity and length of hospital stay. Robot-assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) has offered refined accuracy and more ergonomic instrume...

Towards tactile sensing applied to underwater autonomous vehicles for near shore survey and de-mining (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Artificial tactile whisker sensors demonstrate an approach to localisation [1] that is robust to harsh environmental disturbances, endowing autonomous systems with the ability to operate effectively in confined, noisy and visually occluded spaces, su...

Predictive prey pursuit in a whiskered robot (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Highly active small mammals need to capture prey rapidly and with a high success rate if they are to survive. We consider the case of the Etruscan shrew, which hunts prey including crickets almost as large as itself, and relies on its whiskers (vibri...
