This paper reviews emerging computer techniques for discovering knowledge from databases and their application to various sets of separation data. The data-sets include the separation of a diverse range of analytes using either liquid, gas or ion chr... Read More about Knowledge discovery in databases: application to chromatography.

A study into urban roadworks with shuttle-lane operation (1998)
Presentation / Conference
Samoail, N., & Yousif, S. (1998, April). A study into urban roadworks with shuttle-lane operation. Presented at Proceedings of the 3rd Institute of Mathematics and its Applications International Conference on Mathematics in Transport Planning and Control, Cardiff, UK

In urban areas where roadworks are required, single lane shuttle operation is applied, especially where there is limited road space. There are operational problems relating to the site such as site geometry, visibility, length of roadworks zone, pos... Read More about A study into urban roadworks with shuttle-lane operation.

Using inductive logic programming to discover knowledge hidden in chemical data (1998)
Journal Article
Bryant, C., Adam, A., Taylor, D., & Rowe, R. (1998). Using inductive logic programming to discover knowledge hidden in chemical data. Chemometrics and Intelligent Laboratory Systems, 36(2), 111-123. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0169-7439%2897%2900023-3

This paper demonstrates how general purpose tools from the field of Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) can be applied to analytical chemistry. As far as these authors are aware, this is the first published work to describe the application of the ILP t...

Any time probabilistic reasoning for sensor validation (1998)
Presentation / Conference
Ibarguengoytia, P., Sucar, E., & Vadera, S. (1998, March). Any time probabilistic reasoning for sensor validation. Presented at Fourteenth Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence, University of Wisconsin Business School, Madison, Wisconsin, USA

For many real time applications, it is important to validate the information received form the sensors before entering higher levels of reasoning. This paper presents an any time probabilistic algorithm for validating the information provided by sens... Read More about Any time probabilistic reasoning for sensor validation.

Control of bio-regenerated granular activated carbon by spreadsheet modelling (1998)
Journal Article
Scholz, M., & Martin, R. (1998). Control of bio-regenerated granular activated carbon by spreadsheet modelling. Journal of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology, 71(3), 253-261. https://doi.org/10.1002/%28SICI%291097-4660%28199803%2971%3A3%3C253%3A%3AAID-JCTB834%3E3.0.CO%3B2-Y

The optimisation of water purification with biological activated carbon (BAC) is described. Procedures are suggested to control biofilm growth and to use bio-indicators to predict TOC (total organic carbon) and COD (chemical oxygen demand) removal ef...

The application of advanced computer models to the prediction of sound in enclosed spaces (1998)
Thesis
Howarth, M. The application of advanced computer models to the prediction of sound in enclosed spaces. (Thesis). University of Salford

Computer modelling of acoustics in enclosures has developed into various forms, none of which have yet demonstrated 100% accuracy. This thesis therefore details a study of room acoustic computer modelling. It highlights weaknesses with existing mod...

Page segmentation using the description of the background (1998)
Journal Article
Antonacopoulos, A. (1998). Page segmentation using the description of the background. Computer Vision and Image Understanding, 70(3), 350-369. https://doi.org/10.1006/cviu.1998.0691

There is an ever increasing number of publications which do not have the “traditional” layout where printed regions are rectangu- lar. Text paragraphs and areas of graphic type may be of any shape, individually rotated and in any arrangement. Previou... Read More about Page segmentation using the description of the background.

Nonlinear competing processes in multifrequency Raman generation (1998)
Journal Article
Mcdonald, G., Chan, Y., New, G., Losev, L., & Lutsenko, A. (1998). Nonlinear competing processes in multifrequency Raman generation. Journal of Modern Optics, 45(6), 1099-1110. https://doi.org/10.1080/09500349808230901

We investigate the extent to which the Raman generation of ultrabroad-band light will be affected by nonlinear competing processes. The model equations are generalized to incorporate an off-axis competing signal and a quantitative study is undertaken...
