The transmission line matrix method is used to study Helmholtz solitons as solutions of the two-dimensional time-domain Maxwell equations in nonlinear media. This approach permits to address, in particular, the propagation and intrinsic stability pr... Read More about Time domain analysis of Helmholtz soliton propagation using the TLM method.

Modelling of unsaturated soils has been the subject of many research works in the past few decades. A number of constitutive models have been developed to describe the complex behaviour of unsaturated soils. However, many have proven to be unable to...

Colloidal-based surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a complex technique, where interaction between multiple parameters, such as colloid type, its concentration, and aggregating agent, is poorly understood. As a result SERS has so far achieved... Read More about Enhancing Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) detection of propranolol with multiobjective evolutionary optimization.

An examination of the evidence from twenty case studies of behavioural change projects identifies common and specific elements which led to their success. Using evidence from a recent EU project, the paper discusses the design of travel behaviour cha... Read More about What are the ingredients of successful travel behavioural change campaigns?.

Reproducibility of soundscape dimensions (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Davies, W., & Murphy, J. (2012, August). Reproducibility of soundscape dimensions. Presented at Internoise 2012, New York

The aim of this work was to investigate the validity of laboratory soundscape reproduction and the robustness of soundscape dimensional analysis. The soundscapes in four urban locations in Manchester (UK) were recorded with a soundfield microphone. T... Read More about Reproducibility of soundscape dimensions.
