Post-glacial colonisation of Europe by the wood mouse, Apodemus sylvaticus : evidence of a northern refugium and dispersal with humans (2016)
Journal Article

The wood mouse Apodemus sylvaticus is an opportunistic rodent that is found throughout most of
the European mainland. It is present on many islands around the margins of the continent and in
northern Africa. The species has been the subject of prev... Read More about Post-glacial colonisation of Europe by the wood mouse, Apodemus sylvaticus : evidence of a northern refugium and dispersal with humans.

The peril of proportions: robust niche indices for categorical data (2016)
Journal Article
Pierotti, M. E., Martín-Fernández, J. A., & Barceló-Vidal, C. (2017). The peril of proportions: robust niche indices for categorical data. Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 8(2), 223-231. https://doi.org/10.1111/2041-210X.12656

Indices of niche breadth and niche overlap for categorical data are typically expressed in terms of proportions of resources use. These are unit-sum constrained data; hence, direct application of standard general linear modelling methods to such indi...

Predicting binaural speech intelligibility from signals estimated by a blind source separation algorithm (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Liu, Q., Tang, Y., Jackson, P., & Wang, W. (2016, September). Predicting binaural speech intelligibility from signals estimated by a blind source separation algorithm. Presented at 17th Annual Conference of the International Speech Communication Association, INTERSPEECH 2016, San Francisco, USA

State-of-the-art binaural objective intelligibility measures (OIMs) require individual source signals for making intelligibility predictions, limiting their usability in real-time online operations. This limitation may be addressed by a blind source... Read More about Predicting binaural speech intelligibility from signals estimated by a blind source separation algorithm.

Glimpse-based metrics for predicting speech intelligibility in additive noise conditions (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Tang, Y., & Cooke, M. (2016, September). Glimpse-based metrics for predicting speech intelligibility in additive noise conditions. Presented at 17th Annual Conference of the International Speech Communication Association, INTERSPEECH 2016, San Francisco, USA

The glimpsing model of speech perception in noise operates by recognising those speech-dominant spectro-temporal regions, or glimpses, that survive energetic masking; hence, a speech recognition component is an integral part of the model. The current... Read More about Glimpse-based metrics for predicting speech intelligibility in additive noise conditions.

A collaborative environment for energy-efficient buildings within the context of a neighbourhood (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Bassanino, M., Fernando, T., Wu, K., Ghazirmirsaeid, S., Klobut, K., Mäkeläinen, T., & Hukkalainen, M. (2016, September). A collaborative environment for energy-efficient buildings within the context of a neighbourhood. Presented at 11th European Conference on Product and Process Modelling, Limassol, Cypruse

This positioning paper explains our approach to creating a collaborative environment to assist
multi-disciplinary teams in designing better energy efficient buildings with consideration of their
neighborhoods. A scenario-driven approach was used he... Read More about A collaborative environment for energy-efficient buildings within the context of a neighbourhood.

Energy matching and trading within green building neighbourhoods based on stochastic approach considering uncertainty (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Ghazimirsaeid, S., Fernando, T., & Marzband, M. (2016, September). Energy matching and trading within green building neighbourhoods based on stochastic approach considering uncertainty. Presented at 11th European Conference on Product and Process Modelling, Limassol, Cypruse

Non-dispatchable generation
resources can be installed as small scale
generation units that environmentally and
economically could be competitive with
conventional power generation. To reach this aim,
a hybrid system including several types of... Read More about Energy matching and trading within green building neighbourhoods based on stochastic approach considering uncertainty.

Meltwater temperature in streams draining from Alpine glaciers (2016)
Thesis
Williamson, R. Meltwater temperature in streams draining from Alpine glaciers. (Thesis). University of Salford

Thermal conditions in river water are of importance as they influence water quality, chemical processes, ecology, and biological conditions in rivers. In meltwater streams draining from Alpine glaciers, temperatures measured close to glacier termini... Read More about Meltwater temperature in streams draining from Alpine glaciers.

Acid-base properties of N-doped carbon nanotubes : a combined temperature-programmed desorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and 2-propanol reaction investigation (2016)
Journal Article
Ortega, K., Arrigo, R., Frank, B., Schlögl, R., & Trunschke, A. (2016). Acid-base properties of N-doped carbon nanotubes : a combined temperature-programmed desorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and 2-propanol reaction investigation. Chemistry of Materials, 28(19), 6826-6839. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.chemmater.6b01594

Chemical and electronic properties of N-doped multiwalled carbon nanotubes (NCNTs) synthesized by NH3 treatment of preoxidized CNTs at 300, 500, and 700°C have been investigated by a set of surface sensitive techniques. Temperature-programmed desorpt...
