Journal Article
Angus, J. (2006). A Comparison of the Performance of 'Pruned Tree' versus 'Stack" Algorithms for Look-Ahead Sigma delta Modulators. Journal of the Audio Engineering Society, 54(6), 477-494

Look-ahead Sigma-Delta modulators look forward k samples before deciding to output a “one” or a “zero”. The Viterbi algorithm is then used to search the trellis of the exponential number of possibilities that such a procedure generates. This paper de...

It is well established in the scientific literature that animal prey species reduce their activity at times of high predation risk. In the case of nocturnal animals this occurs when there is a full moon; however, the response of predators to the chan...

Pathogenicity and protective immunogenicity of cysteine proteinase-deficient mutants of Leishmania mexicana in non-murine models. Vaccine, 24(19), 4247-4259. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vaccine.2005.05.045

This study demonstrates that deletion of cysteine proteinase (CP) genes diminishes pathogenicity of Leishmania mexicana in non-murine experimental host models while preserving immunogenicity. Both cpb and cpa/cpb-deficient lines induced delayed disea...

This paper briefly reviews previous work on the growth of thermochromic VO2 thin films on glass, and then examines and compares three different CVD approaches and two precursor systems for the production of these materials. It is found that atmospher... Read More about The growth of thermochromic VO2 films on glass by atmospheric-pressue CVD: a comparative study of precursors CVD methodology and substrates.

Materializing design: the implications of rapid prototyping in digital design (2006)

Rapid prototyping (RP) today is absorbed into practice and is being recognized as a significant technology for design. This paper attempts to formulate key aspects of the design methodological framework that are coalescing with RP's capability to bui...

A more sustainable transport system requires effective alternatives to private cars. Despite more than 40 years of declining use, buses are still the main form of local public transport outside central London. Government policy focuses upon Bus Quali...
