Linking sustainable urban drainage systems (SuDS) and ecosystem services: New connections in urban ecology (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Mak, C., James, P., & Scholz, M. (2012, December). Linking sustainable urban drainage systems (SuDS) and ecosystem services: New connections in urban ecology. Presented at British Ecological Society Annual Meeting (18-20 December 2012), University of Birmingham

The relationship between Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) and ecosystem services has not been articulated clearly, leading to misinformed and inadequate SuDS designs. A new conceptual model, informed by literature review, sets out the relationshi...

A multi-armed bandit approach to cost-sensitive decision tree learning (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Lomax, S., Vadera, S., & Saraee, M. (2012, December). A multi-armed bandit approach to cost-sensitive decision tree learning. Presented at 2012 IEEE 12th International Conference on Data Mining Workshops, Brussels, Belgium

Several authors have studied the problem of inducing decision trees that aim to minimize costs of misclassification and take account of costs of tests. The approaches adopted vary from modifying the information theoretic attribute selection measure u... Read More about A multi-armed bandit approach to cost-sensitive decision tree learning.

Continuous flow single cell electroporation in an ultrafast laser inscribed optofluidic device (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Martinez Maestro, L., Choudhury, D., Ramsay, W., Paterson, L., Jaque, D., & Kar, A. K. (2012, December). Continuous flow single cell electroporation in an ultrafast laser inscribed optofluidic device. Presented at International Conference on Fiber Optics and Photonics, Chennai, India

Ultrafast laser inscription has been used to fabricate a selectively etched optofluidic device incorporating a near-infrared waveguide to enable continuous flow single cell electroporation for the generation of intracellular spatio-thermal maps using...

Residence time investigation in a co-axial dielectric barrier discharge reactor (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Babaie, M., Talebizadeh, P., Saha, S., Rahimzadeh, H., Zare, F., & Brown, R. (2012, November). Residence time investigation in a co-axial dielectric barrier discharge reactor. Presented at 4th International Conference on Computational Methods, Crowne Plaza, Gold Coast, Australia

The residence time distribution (RTD) is a crucial parameter when treating engine exhaust emissions with a Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) reactor. In this paper, the residence time of such a reactor is investigated using a finite element based so...

Localisation of elevated virtual sources in higher order ambisonic sound fields (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Power, P., Davies, W., Hirst, J., & Dunn, C. (2012, November). Localisation of elevated virtual sources in higher order ambisonic sound fields. Presented at Reproduced Sound, Brighton

Ambisonics allows the reproduction of 3D sound-fields. Higher-order Ambisonics provides improved resolution, and the promise of enhanced localisation at the expense of higher channel counts, and increased broadcast bandwidth, and storage requirements...
