Autonomous control laws for mobile robotic surveillance swarms (2009)
Presentation / Conference
Mullen, R., Monekosso, D., Barman, S., & Paolo, R. (2009, December). Autonomous control laws for mobile robotic surveillance swarms. Paper presented at IEEE Symposium: Computational Intelligence for Security and Defence Applications (CISDA), Ottawa, Canada

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.

Neurath's whale (2009)
Presentation / Conference
Henning, M. (2009, December). Neurath's whale. Paper presented at The Afterlife of Animals, Manchester University, UK

Taking a brief passage by Otto Neurath about a whale exhibit, I raise questions about how we interpret exhibits, using phenomenological and social-historical approaches, and I use Bruno Latour’s notion of objects as actants and imbroglios to reconsid... Read More about Neurath's whale.

Towards a universal requirements engineering process (2009)

Analysis of a global database on quaternary explosive volcanism (2009)
Presentation / Conference
Ortiz Guerrero, N., Sparks, R., & Hobbs, L. (2009, December). Analysis of a global database on quaternary explosive volcanism. Poster presented at AGU Fall Meeting 2009, San Francisco, USA

Large volcanic eruptions, despite their low frequency of occurrence, have the potential to cause massive loss of life and affect the health of humans and animals and cause major economic losses. The knowledge of the evolution of past volcanic process... Read More about Analysis of a global database on quaternary explosive volcanism.

The margins of art practice bordering on industrial development (2009)
Presentation / Conference
Hoskins, P. S. (2009, December). The margins of art practice bordering on industrial development. Paper presented at International Conference on Innovation through Knowledge Transfer, Hampton Court Palace, London

A conference paper challenging the popular view of artists, spread by the media over many years is of aesthetes with no commercial acumen and a distinct lack of time management. Examples of this go as far back as 1962 with Tony Hancock in the film th... Read More about The margins of art practice bordering on industrial development.

The effect of temperature on the fluorescence of DOM (2009)
Presentation / Conference
Reynolds, D. M., Baker, A., & Carstea, E. (2009, December). The effect of temperature on the fluorescence of DOM. Paper presented at American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting, San Francisco, USA

It is understood that all fluorescence analyses essentially observes the fluorescence of a given sample in a 'quenched state'. Even so, detailed literature concerning the effects of lower temperatures (below 4 degrees Celsius) is surprisingly sparse.... Read More about The effect of temperature on the fluorescence of DOM.

Real-time monitoring of river water quality using in-line continuous acquisition of fluorescence excitation and emission matrices (2009)
