Acoustic Event Detection from Weakly Labeled Data Using Auditory Salience (2019)
Presentation / Conference
Podwinska, Z., Sobieraj, I., Fazenda, B., Davies, W., & Plumbley, M. (2019, May). Acoustic Event Detection from Weakly Labeled Data Using Auditory Salience. Presented at 2019 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP), Brighton, UK

Acoustic Event Detection (AED) is an important task of machine listening which, in recent years, has been addressed using common machine learning methods like Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) or deep learning. However, most of these approaches... Read More about Acoustic Event Detection from Weakly Labeled Data Using Auditory Salience.

A comparative study of energy storage systems and active front ends for networks of two electrified RTG cranes (2019)
Journal Article
Alasali, F., Luque, A., Mayer, R., & Holderbaum, W. (2019). A comparative study of energy storage systems and active front ends for networks of two electrified RTG cranes. Energies, 12(9), 1771. https://doi.org/10.3390/en12091771

The global consumerism trend and the increase in worldwide population is increasing the need to improve the efficiency of marine container transportation. The high operating costs, pollution and noise of the diesel yard equipment is leading sea ports...

Complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of the small hive beetle Aethina tumida (Insecta: Coleoptera) from Hawaii (2019)
Journal Article
Takahashi, J., Okuyama, H., & Martin, S. (2019). Complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of the small hive beetle Aethina tumida (Insecta: Coleoptera) from Hawaii. Mitochondrial DNA Part B, 4(1), 1522-1523. https://doi.org/10.1080/23802359.2019.1601516

We analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome of the small hive beetle Aethina tumida, a major honeybee pest that was accidentally transported to the Hawaii Islands, USA. The mitochondrial genome of A. tumida was identified as a 15,198 bp circular mo...

Magnetic micro-swimmers propelling through bio-rheological liquid bounded within an active channel (2019)
Journal Article
Asghar, Z., Ali, N., Sajid, M., & Beg, O. (2019). Magnetic micro-swimmers propelling through bio-rheological liquid bounded within an active channel. Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials, 486(Sep 19), 165283. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmmm.2019.165283

The dynamics of a micro-organism swimming through a channel with undulating walls subject to constant transverse applied magnetic field is investigated. The micro-organism is modeled as self-propelling undulating sheet which is out of phase with the...

Metachronal propulsion of a magnetized particle-fluid suspension in a ciliated channel with heat and mass transfer (2019)
Journal Article
Abdelsalam, S., Bhatti, M., Zeeshan, A., Riaz, A., & Beg, O. (2019). Metachronal propulsion of a magnetized particle-fluid suspension in a ciliated channel with heat and mass transfer. Physica Scripta, 94(11), 115301. https://doi.org/10.1088/1402-4896/ab207a

Biologically inspired pumping systems are of great interest in modern engineering since they
achieve enhanced efficiency and circumvent the need for moving parts and maintenance. Industrial applications also often feature two-phase flows. In this ar... Read More about Metachronal propulsion of a magnetized particle-fluid suspension in a ciliated channel with heat and mass transfer.

DWV-A lethal to honey bees (Apis mellifera) : a colony level survey of DWV variants (A, B & C) in England, Wales and 32 states across the US (2019)
Journal Article
Kevill, J., de Souza, F., Sharples, C., Oliver, R., Schroeder, D., & Martin, S. (2019). DWV-A lethal to honey bees (Apis mellifera) : a colony level survey of DWV variants (A, B & C) in England, Wales and 32 states across the US. Viruses, 11(5), 426. https://doi.org/10.3390/v11050426

The strong association between Varroa destructor and Deformed wing virus (DWV), and high overwintering colony losses (OCL) of honey bees is well established. Three DWV master variants: DWV-A, B and C, have been described. However, their various roles...

Towards the extraction of statistical information from digitised numerical tables - the Medical Officer of Health reports scoping study (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Numerical data of considerable significance is present in historical documents in tabular form. Due to the challenges involved in the extraction of this data from the scanned documents it is not available to researchers in a useful representation tha...

Linking effective population size dynamics to phenotypic traits in the common toad (Bufo bufo) (2019)
Journal Article
in the common toad (Bufo bufo). Conservation Genetics, 20, 987-995. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10592-019-01185-1

The effective size of a population (Ne) determines the retention of neutral genetic variation in isolated populations, and is therefore a key parameter in conservation genetics. However, while our knowledge on the genetic properties of endangered pop... Read More about Linking effective population size dynamics to phenotypic traits in the common toad (Bufo bufo).
