A review of ant algorithms (2009)
Journal Article

Ant algorithms are optimisation algorithms inspired by the foraging behaviour of real ants in the wild. Introduced in the early 1990s, ant algorithms aim at finding approximate solutions to optimisation problems through the use of artificial ants and... Read More about A review of ant algorithms.

The analysis of crowd dynamics: From observations to modeling (2009)
Book Chapter

Crowd is a familiar phenomenon studied in a variety of research disciplines including sociology, civil engineering and physics. Over the last two decades computer vision has become increasingly interested in studying crowds and their dynamics: becaus...

Simulation of gas water two-phase flow in diesel turbocharger (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Numerical simulation of a gas water two-phase flow in Diesel Turbocharger has been carried out using computational fluid dynamics solution of the Eulerian Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations for the continuum gas phase and the Lagrangian partic...

The contribution of organic farming to rural development: An exploration of the socio-economic linkages of organic and non-organic farms in England (2009)
Journal Article

Organic farming has experienced considerable growth in recent years. Proponents of organic farming point to the environmental and nutritional benefits of organic systems, although these are contested by some. More recently, it has been argued that or...

Changing travel behaviour: lessons from 'behavioural economics' (2009)
Journal Article

Road pricing and other fiscal means of influencing travel decisions have lost favour, but study of travellers' economic decisions suggests a new way of changing -or 'nudging'- behaviour. This paper is by Dr Erel Avineri.

Review of energy security, future mix and roles of renewable in Europe (EU27) (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In order to reduce the earth warming already knocking on our doors, steady and productive steps will have to be implemented which would include larger integration of renewable energy systems as a primary response. This review journal examined the Ene... Read More about Review of energy security, future mix and roles of renewable in Europe (EU27).

For whom? - The governance of organic food and farming in the UK (2009)
Journal Article

The challenge of organic agriculture - that it might provide new forms of participation around food - has been hard to encapsulate in the conventional circuits of democracy. One answer to this 'offer' has been for consumers to purchase organic items... Read More about For whom? - The governance of organic food and farming in the UK.

Legibility and aesthetics in urban design (2009)
Journal Article

This paper presents a philosophical analysis of two central concepts and 'principles' of urban design, namely, 'legibility' and 'aesthetics', and then an argument about their respective importance for urban design. After a summary of Kevin Lynch's se... Read More about Legibility and aesthetics in urban design.

Localizations in cellular automata with mutualistic excitation rules (2009)
Journal Article

Every cell of two-dimensional cellular automaton with eight-cell neighborhood takes three states: resting, excited and refractory, and updates excited to refractory and refractory to resting states unconditionally. A resting cell excites depending on... Read More about Localizations in cellular automata with mutualistic excitation rules.

Numerical simulation of heat transfer in rectangular microchannel (2009)
Journal Article

Numerical simulation of heat transfer in a high aspect ratio rectangular microchannel with heat sinks has been conducted, similar to an experimental study. Three channel heights measuring 0.3 mm, 0.6mmand 1mmare considered and the Reynolds number var... Read More about Numerical simulation of heat transfer in rectangular microchannel.
