A cognitive framework for the categorisation of auditory objects in urban soundscapes (2017)
Journal Article
Woodcock, J., Davies, W., & Cox, T. (2017). A cognitive framework for the categorisation of auditory objects in urban soundscapes. Applied Acoustics, 121, 56-64. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apacoust.2017.01.027

Categorisation is a fundamental cognitive process that plays a central role in everyday behaviour and action. Whereas previous studies have investigated the categorisation of isolated everyday sounds, this paper presents an experiment to investiga...

Contaminated sediment dynamics in peatland headwater catchments (2017)
Journal Article
headwater catchments. Journal of Soils and Sediments, 17(11), 2637-2647. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11368-017-1674-8

Purpose Despite substantial research into Pb storage in peatlands, formal description of the mechanisms of contaminated sediment mobilisation is limited. This study explores the controlling factors of contaminated sediment dynamics in an eroding... Read More about Contaminated sediment dynamics in peatland headwater catchments.

Large-scale physical modelling of soil-filled masonry arch bridges (2017)
Journal Article
masonry arch bridges. International Journal of Physical Modelling in Geotechnics, 18(2), 81-94. https://doi.org/10.1680/jphmg.16.00037

The presence of soil backfill has been shown to have a significant influence on the load-carrying capacity of masonry arch bridges, with the soil fill providing a number of important functions, including inter alia, the distribution of surface load...

Covert deformed wing virus infections have long-term deleterious effects on honeybee foraging and survival (2017)
Journal Article
deleterious effects on honeybee foraging and survival. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 284(1848), 20162149. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2016.2149

Several studies have suggested that covert stressors can contribute to bee colony declines. Here we provide a novel case study and show using radio-frequency identification (RFID) tracking technology that covert deformed wing virus (DWV) infections...

A convolutional neural network to classify American Sign Language fingerspelling from depth and colour images (2017)
Journal Article
Ameen, S., & Vadera, S. (2017). A convolutional neural network to classify American Sign Language fingerspelling from depth and colour images. Expert Systems, 34(3), e12197. https://doi.org/10.1111/exsy.12197

Sign language is used by approximately 70 million1 people throughout the world, and an automatic tool for interpreting it could make a major impact on communication between those who use it and those who may not understand it. However, computer inte... Read More about A convolutional neural network to classify American Sign Language fingerspelling from depth and colour images.

Analytical study of electro-osmosis modulated capillary peristaltic hemodynamics (2017)
Journal Article
Tripathi, D., Bushan, S., & Beg, O. (2017). Analytical study of electro-osmosis modulated capillary peristaltic hemodynamics. Journal of Mechanics in Medicine and Biology, 17(3), 1750052. https://doi.org/10.1142/S021951941750052X

A mathematical model is developed to analyse electro-kinetic effects on unsteady peristaltic transport of blood in cylindrical vessels of finite length. The Newtonian viscous model is adopted. The analysis is restricted under Debye-Hückel linearizati... Read More about Analytical study of electro-osmosis modulated capillary peristaltic hemodynamics.

Stochastic analysis of a deterministic and seasonally forced SEI model for improved disease spread simulation (2017)
Journal Article

The geographic distribution of different viruses has developed widely, giving rise to an escalating number of cases during the past two decades. The deterministic Susceptible, Exposed, Infectious (SEI) models can demonstrate the spatio-temporal dynam...

Motivated by petro-chemical geological systems, we consider the natural convection boundary layer flow from a vertical isothermal wavy surface adjacent to a saturated non-Darcian high permeability porous medium. High permeability is considered to rep...
