Discrepancy theory and signed domination in graphs and hypergraphs (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Autonomous control laws for mobile robotic surveillance swarms (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

We investigate the use of artificial local forces governed by physics laws for the spatial formation and coordination of a swarm of VTOL UAVs for ground area surveillance applications. Varying parameter effects are investigated through simulation and... Read More about Autonomous control laws for mobile robotic surveillance swarms.

Ontology-driven requirements engineering with reference to the aerospace industry (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper provides an overview regarding the application of an ontology-driven requirements engineering methodology, namely OntoREM, in the aerospace industry with the objective to assess the extent to which this approach has the potential to develo...

An investigation of the aerodynamic admittances and aerodynamic weighting functions of trains (2009)
Journal Article

Increasing train speeds combined with the predicted reduction in the weight of new trains ensure that the effect of crosswinds on train stability is of continued interest to the rail industry. Changes in the approaching wind velocity can in turn lead... Read More about An investigation of the aerodynamic admittances and aerodynamic weighting functions of trains.

Measuring retinal vessel tortuosity in 10-year-old children: Validation of the computer-assisted image analysis of the retina (caiar) program (2009)
Journal Article

PURPOSE: To examine the agreement of a novel computer pro- gram measuring retinal vessel tortuosity with subjective assess-he morphologic characteristics of vessels of the retina have been associated with cardiovascular and coronary diseasement of to...

Synthetic training data generation for activity monitoring and behavior analysis (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper describes a data generator that produces synthetic data to simulate observations from an array of environment monitoring sensors. The overall goal of our work is to monitor the well-being of one occupant in a home. Sensors are embedded in...

The disempowerment of empowerment: How stakeholding clogs up rural decision-making (2009)
Journal Article

In the context of a growth in both participatory democracy and responsible participation, rural decision-making in England has become increasingly complex over the past 30 years, fuelled by national polices relating to regionalism, citizenship and re...

Rural planning in England: A critique of current policy (2009)
Journal Article

The article briefly explores the enduring primacy of agricultural planning over land use planning in rural areas in England since the Second World War. From this contextual Overview, The paper critically evaluates in some detail a number of embedded... Read More about Rural planning in England: A critique of current policy.

Numerical and experimental investigation for stability lobes prediction in thin wall machining (2009)
Journal Article

A Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Fourier transform approach to obtain frequency response function (FRF) is presented in this paper. The aim in this paper is to eliminate the need for the classical impact experimental approach used in extracting st...

Presentation / Conference Contribution

Resilience to flooding: Lessons from international comparison (2009)
Journal Article

Urban resilience is a key focus of current approaches to flood management. The notion of resilience encompasses pre-disaster planning and warning systems, emergency handling procedures and post-disaster reconstruction. Both human and physical systems...

Tensions and contradictions left and right: The predictable disappointments of planning under New Labour in historical perspective (2009)
Journal Article

This article situates the disappointments of New Labour's record over environmental planning within the longer historical perspective of British post-Second World War social democracy and planning. It makes two main claims. First, that New Labour ide...

Accessibility of flood risk insurance in the UK: Confusion, competition and complacency (2009)
Journal Article

Flood risk insurance can be an effective tool in assisting the restoration of damaged property after a flood event and sustaining communities through difficult times. It can also form part of a wider flood risk management strategy. In the light of re... Read More about Accessibility of flood risk insurance in the UK: Confusion, competition and complacency.

Change in appearance of textures with randomisation of Fourier phase (2009)
Journal Article

It is known that humans can discriminate visual textures on the basis of differences in statistics higher than the second order. However, these results have been obtained using artificial textures made up of geometric elements, and the effects of man...
