Reactive coordination and adaptive lattice formation in mobile robotic surveillance swarms (2012)
Journal Article
Mullen, R. J., Mullen, R., Monekosso, D., Barman, S., & Remagnino, P. (2012). Reactive coordination and adaptive lattice formation in mobile robotic surveillance swarms. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-32723-0_17

We present here a set of decentralised control laws to facilitate lattice formation and reactive coordination and control of a swarm of mobile ground based robots. The control laws rely on local, indirect communication, which we implement in the form... Read More about Reactive coordination and adaptive lattice formation in mobile robotic surveillance swarms.

Rationalising risk: Grower strategies to manage plant disease in the UK wheat and potato sectors (2012)
Journal Article
Maye, D., Ilbery, B., & Little, R. (2012). Rationalising risk: Grower strategies to manage plant disease in the UK wheat and potato sectors. Geographical Journal, 178(4), 338-347. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1475-4959.2012.00485.x

The threat that plant diseases and pests pose to food production and ecosystem services is neither well understood in the social sciences nor publicly debated, despite the fact that it is significant and growing. This paper presents findings from int... Read More about Rationalising risk: Grower strategies to manage plant disease in the UK wheat and potato sectors.

Towards temporal verification of swarm robotic systems (2012)
Journal Article
Dixon, C., Winfield, A. F., Fisher, M., & Zeng, C. (2012). Towards temporal verification of swarm robotic systems. Robotics and Autonomous Systems, 60(11), 1429-1441. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.robot.2012.03.003

A robot swarm is a collection of simple robots designed to work together to carry out some task. Such swarms rely on the simplicity of the individual robots; the fault tolerance inherent in having a large population of identical robots; and the self-...

The role of trust in the development of connectivities amongst rural elders in England and Wales (2012)
Journal Article
Curry, N., & Fisher, R. (2012). The role of trust in the development of connectivities amongst rural elders in England and Wales. Journal of Rural Studies, 28(4), 358-370. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jrurstud.2012.06.005

Using Simmel's notion of sociation, the way in which rural elders in England and Wales relate to, or connect with, each other and others within their community, can be seen to be conflictual as well as consensual. As a vehicle for exploiting this rel... Read More about The role of trust in the development of connectivities amongst rural elders in England and Wales.

Clinical outcomes from bilateral versus unilateral stimulation of the pedunculopontine nucleus with and without concomitant caudal zona incerta region stimulation in Parkinson's disease (2012)
Journal Article
Gill, S. S., Khan, S., Javed, S., Mooney, L., White, P., Plaha, P., & Whone, A. (2012). Clinical outcomes from bilateral versus unilateral stimulation of the pedunculopontine nucleus with and without concomitant caudal zona incerta region stimulation in Parkinson's disease. British Journal of Neurosurgery, 26(5), 722-725. https://doi.org/10.3109/02688697.2012.659297

Introduction. The Pedunculopontine nucleus is a novel target for deep brain stimulation and this may improve postural instability and gait dysfunction in Parkinson's disease. If unilateral Pedunculopontine nucleus stimulation is as efficacious as bil...

Learning video manifolds for content analysis of crowded scenes (2012)
Journal Article
Monekosso, D. N., Eng, H. L., Thida, M., How-Lung, E., & Remagnino, P. (2012). Learning video manifolds for content analysis of crowded scenes. IPSJ Transactions on Computer Vision and Applications, 4, 71-77. https://doi.org/10.2197/ipsjtcva.4.71

In this paper, we propose a new approach for recognizing group events and abnormality detection in a crowded scene. A manifold learning algorithm with temporal-constraints is proposed to embed a video of a crowded scene in a low-dimensional space. Ou...

Participatory democracy and the governance of smart cities (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Ludlow, D., & Khan, Z. (2012, July). Participatory democracy and the governance of smart cities. Paper presented at 26th Annual AESOP Congress, Ankara, Turkey

Citizens’ participation in urban planning and policy-making develops the traditional top-down governance model via promotion of bottom-up approaches to policy development and decision-making. This evolution drives social innovation in support of pl... Read More about Participatory democracy and the governance of smart cities.

Applying remote sensing, GIS and emissions techniques to air quality and carbon dioxide emissions measurements and monitoring in the Niger Delta (2012)
Thesis
Fagbeja, M. Applying remote sensing, GIS and emissions techniques to air quality and carbon dioxide emissions measurements and monitoring in the Niger Delta. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/946155

Due to economic, accessibility and security constraints, the majority of developing countries within the low-latitudes lack the capacity to establish networks of ground-based air pollution monitoring stations. As a result, there is a lack of systemat...
