Inscribing the urban in technical objects (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Shayya, F. (2018, May). Inscribing the urban in technical objects. Presented at School of Environment, Education and Development PGR Conference, University of Manchester

How does military vehicular technology capture urban space? What kinds of associations hold armored vehicles, soldiers, and the urban together? And, how are the concerns of the military mediated through technology? This short talk attempts to answer... Read More about Inscribing the urban in technical objects.

Annoyance from wind turbine noise? Review of wind turbine noise studies of the last two decades (2018)
Presentation / Conference
von Hünerbein, S. (2018, May). Annoyance from wind turbine noise? Review of wind turbine noise studies of the last two decades. Presented at 3rd Wind Turbine Acoustic Day, Technical University of Denmark, DTU Risø Campus, Roskilde, DK

In agreement with other environmental noise literature, most work on the annoyance from wind turbines has focussed on noise. Notable work has been carried out in Sweden, the Netherlands, Japan, China, Canada and the US. Their results seem to show tha... Read More about Annoyance from wind turbine noise? Review of wind turbine noise studies of the last two decades.

Building a causation annotated corpus : the Salford Arabic Causal Bank-proclitics (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Sadek, J., & Meziane, F. (2018, May). Building a causation annotated corpus : the Salford Arabic Causal Bank-proclitics. Presented at The 3rd Workshop on Open-Source Arabic Corpora and Processing Tools, Miyazaki, Japan

We introduce the Salford Arabic Causal Bank (SACB) corpus, a new corpus dedicated to Arabic Causal relations. Causality as a linguistic phenomenon can be expressed using different elements and grammatical expressions. In Arabic language, causal parti...

Unsteady nonlinear lifting line model for applied aerodynamics studies (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Sugar-Gabor, O. (2018, May). Unsteady nonlinear lifting line model for applied aerodynamics studies. Presented at Advances in Aerospace Structures, Systems and Technology (AASST 2018), London, UK

The lifting line theory is widely used for obtaining aerodynamic performance results in various engineering fields, from aircraft conceptual design to wind power generation. Many different models were proposed, each tailored for a specific purpose, t... Read More about Unsteady nonlinear lifting line model for applied aerodynamics studies.

A circular pneumatic muscle actuator (CPMA) inspired by human skeletal muscles (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Al-Ibadi, A., Nefti-Meziani, S., & Davis, S. (2018, April). A circular pneumatic muscle actuator (CPMA) inspired by human skeletal muscles. Presented at RoboSoft 2018, Livorno, Italy

This paper illustrates the design, implementation and kinematics of a novel circular pneumatic muscle actuator (CPMA), inspired by the skeletal muscles of a human. The variation of the inner diameter of this actuator is a unique feature. Furthermore,... Read More about A circular pneumatic muscle actuator (CPMA) inspired by human skeletal muscles.

Vibro-electric transfer path analysis of a solid body electric guitar (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Elliott, A., Magill, J., & Kendrick, P. (2018, April). Vibro-electric transfer path analysis of a solid body electric guitar. Presented at Acoustics 2018, Cardiff, Wales

Solid bodied electric guitars typically employ one or more magnetic pickups attached to the guitar body in close proximity to the guitar strings. At low frequencies the amplitude of the vibrating string is typically far greater than vibrations transm... Read More about Vibro-electric transfer path analysis of a solid body electric guitar.

Building information modeling (BIM) in Malaysian construction industry : benefits and future challenges (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Musa, S., Marshall-Ponting, A., Nifa, F., & Shahron, S. (2018, April). Building information modeling (BIM) in Malaysian construction industry : benefits and future challenges. Presented at 3rd International Conference on Applied Science and Technology, Penang, Malaysia

Building Information Modeling is an innovative technology coupled with process and human interactions. BIM has been used by the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry in developed and developing countries including Malaysia. The r...

Presentation / Conference
Linge, N., Odum, R., Hill, S., von Hünerbein, S., Linnebank, P., Sutton, A., & Townend, D. (2018, April). Atmospheric impact on the performance of a 60GHz point-to-point link for 5G infrastructures. Poster presented at 12th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP 2018), London, UK

There is growing interest in the use of millimeter-wave spectrum as a potential candidate for the provision of high capacity, short range, back-haul solutions within future 5G ultra-dense network infrastructures. However, it is recognized that these... Read More about Atmospheric impact on the performance of a 60GHz point-to-point link for 5G infrastructures.

Secure publish and subscribe systems with efficient revocation (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Belguith, S., Cui, S., Asghar, M., & Russello, G. (2018, April). Secure publish and subscribe systems with efficient revocation. Presented at ACM/SIGAPP Symposium On Applied Computing, Pau, France

User revocation is one of the main security issues in publish and subscribe (pub/sub) systems. Indeed, to ensure data confidentiality, the system should be able to remove malicious subscribers without affecting the functionalities and decoupling of...
