Fast algorithm for studying the evolution of optical solitons under perturbations (1999)
Journal Article
Chamorro-Posada, P., Mcdonald, G., New, G., & Fraile-Pelaez, F. (1999). Fast algorithm for studying the evolution of optical solitons under perturbations. IEEE Transactions on Magnetics, 35(3), 1558-1561. https://doi.org/10.1109/20.767268

A numerical algorithm is proposed for computing the eigenvalues of the linear scattering problem associated with the nonlinear Schrodinger equation. The numerical method allows a fast calculation of the dynamical evolution of the properties of optica...

A comparison of the performance of radial basis function and multi-layer perceptron networks in condition monitoring and fault diagnosis applications (1999)
Presentation / Conference
Li, Y., Pont, M., & Jones, N. (1999, April). A comparison of the performance of radial basis function and multi-layer perceptron networks in condition monitoring and fault diagnosis applications. Presented at International Conference on Condition Monitoring, Swansea, UK

In this paper, we provide a detailed comparison of multi-layer Perceptron (MLP) and radial basis function (RBF) networks in embedded, microcontroller-based condition monitoring and fault diagnosis applications. On the basis of the studies presented h...

Neural networks for condition monitoring and fault diagnosis : The effect of training data on classifier performance (1999)
Presentation / Conference
Parikh, C., Pont, M., Li, Y., & Jones, N. (1999, April). Neural networks for condition monitoring and fault diagnosis : The effect of training data on classifier performance. Presented at International Conference on Condition Monitoring, Swansea, UK

This paper focuses on the development of neural-based condition-monitoring and fault-diagnosis (CMFD) systems. Specifically, we consider the impact of the limited availability of `faulty' training data in real CMFD applications. Where limited data ar...

The design of embedded systems using software patterns (1999)
Presentation / Conference
Pont, M., Parikh, C., Li, Y., & Wong, C. (1999, April). The design of embedded systems using software patterns. Presented at International Conference on Condition Monitoring, Swansea, UK

In this paper, some of the problems faced by software engineers involved in the development of embedded condition-monitoring systems are considered, and it is argued that the success of such projects may be enhanced through the use of appropriate,sof...

On-street parking manoeuvres and their effects on design (1999)
Presentation / Conference
Purnawan, & Yousif, S. (1999, March). On-street parking manoeuvres and their effects on design. Presented at 4th ISSM, Kassel, Germany

Vehicle manoeuvres when entering or leaving on-street parking can be a contributory factor to causing congestion. Little explicit attention has been given to these manoeuvres and their indirect potential effects on the moving traffic. In the design...

History of sleeping sickness in East Africa. (1999)
Journal Article
G, H. (1999). History of sleeping sickness in East Africa. Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 12, 112-25. https://doi.org/10.1128/CMR.12.1.112

The history of human sleeping sickness in East Africa is characterized by the appearance of disease epidemics interspersed by long periods of endemicity. Despite the presence of the tsetse fly in large areas of East Africa, these epidemics tend to oc... Read More about History of sleeping sickness in East Africa..
