Helmholtz solitons: Maxwell’s equations, interfaces, bistability & counterpropagation (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Chamorro-Posada, P., Sanchez-Curto, J., Grikurov, V., McDonald, G., & Christian, J. (2008, June). Helmholtz solitons: Maxwell’s equations, interfaces, bistability & counterpropagation. Presented at Days on Diffraction, 2008. DD '08 International Conference, St. Petersburg, Russia

We give a brief overview of some new results in Helmholtz soliton theory. Firstly, fundamental considerations are made in terms of new contexts for Helmholtz solitons that arise directly from Maxwells equations. We then detail applications of Helmhol...

Soliton solutions of the nonlinear Helmholtz equation: propagation properties, interface effects and new families of exact solutions (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Chamorro-Posada, P., Sanchez-Curto, J., McDonald, G., & Christian, J. (2008, June). Soliton solutions of the nonlinear Helmholtz equation: propagation properties, interface effects and new families of exact solutions. Presented at Annual International Conference "Days on Diffraction" 2008, St. Petersburg, Russia

The properties of spatial optical solitons are most often studied using nonlinear Schroedinger (NLS) equations. These model the slow modulation the envelope of a linear wave solution experiences when propagation takes place in a wealky nonlinear medi...

Flickr as a tool for intercultural understanding: A case study of informal learning in an online community (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Keegan, H. (2008, June). Flickr as a tool for intercultural understanding: A case study of informal learning in an online community. Presented at EDEN 2008, Lisbon, Portugal

This paper describes cross cultural interaction and community formation on Flickr, one of the leading online photo-sharing networks. Taking a virtual ethnographic approach, the author describes her own experiences of online community membership, expl...

Extreme weather events and business continuity planning (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Jones, K., & Ingirige, B. (2008, June). Extreme weather events and business continuity planning. Presented at CIB W70 International Conference in Facilities Management, Heriot Watt University, Edinburgh

There is now a broad scientific consensus that the global climate is changing in ways that are likely to have a profound impact on human society and the natural environment over the coming decades. The challenge for Facilities Mangers is to ensur... Read More about Extreme weather events and business continuity planning.

A method to resolve the overfitting problem in recurrent neural networks for prediction of complex system's behavior (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Mahdaviani, K., Mazyar, H., Majidi, S., & Saraee, M. (2008, June). A method to resolve the overfitting problem in recurrent neural networks for prediction of complex system's behavior. Presented at IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence / IEEE International Joint Conference on Neural Networks, Hong Kong, China

In this paper a new method to resolve the overfitting problem for predicting complex systems' behavior has been proposed. This problem occurs when a neural network loses its generalization. The method is based on the training of recurrent neural... Read More about A method to resolve the overfitting problem in recurrent neural networks for prediction of complex system's behavior.

The development of a benefits realisation management process to drive successful programmes and projects (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Sapountzis, S., Harris, K., & Kagioglou, M. (2008, May). The development of a benefits realisation management process to drive successful programmes and projects. Presented at “Project Management Advances, Training & Certification in the Mediterranean”, Chios Island, Greece

Traditionally major capital investment programmes and projects are measured on their success in relation to cost, quality and time of delivery, and not in relation to the benefits or impact that they have delivered. Benefits Realisation is emerging... Read More about The development of a benefits realisation management process to drive successful programmes and projects.
