Physical and numerical constraints in source modeling for finite difference simulation of room acoustics (2014)
Journal Article
Sheaffer, J., van Walstijn, M., & Fazenda, B. (2014). Physical and numerical constraints in source modeling for finite difference simulation of room acoustics. The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (Online), 135(1), 251-261. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.4836355

In finite difference time domain simulation of room acoustics, source functions are subject to various constraints. These depend on the way sources are injected into the grid and on the chosen parameters of the numerical scheme being used. This paper...

Simulating acoustic scattering from atmospheric temperature fluctuations using a k-space method (2014)
Journal Article
Hargreaves, J., Kendrick, P., & von Hünerbein, S. (2014). Simulating acoustic scattering from atmospheric temperature fluctuations using a k-space method. The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (Online), 135(1), 82-92. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.4835955

This paper describes a numerical method for simulating far-field scattering from small regions of inhomogeneous temperature fluctuations. Such scattering is of interest since it is the mechanism by which acoustic wind velocity profiling devices (Dopp...

Retrofitting social housing : reflections by tenants on adopting and living with retrofit technology (2014)
Journal Article

Retrofit has been described as one of the major engineering challenges of the twenty-first century (Kelly 2009). However, the industry needs to look beyond regarding the problem as restricted to the physical upgrade of properties. Asset managers, eng...

Ex situ diet influences the bacterial community associated with the skin of red-eyed tree frogs (Agalychnis callidryas) (2014)
Journal Article
Antwis, R., Haworth, R., Engelmoer, D., Ogilvy, V., Fidgett, A., & Preziosi, R. (2014). Ex situ diet influences the bacterial community associated with the skin of red-eyed tree frogs (Agalychnis callidryas). PLoS ONE, 9(1), e85563. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0085563

Amphibians support symbiotic bacterial communities on their skin that protect against a range of infectious pathogens, including the amphibian chytrid fungus. The conditions under which amphibians are maintained in captivity (e.g. diet, substrate, en...

An experimental evaluation of novelty detection methods (2014)
Journal Article
Ding, X., Li, Y., Belatreche, A., & Maguire, L. (2014). An experimental evaluation of novelty detection methods. Neurocomputing, 135, 313-327. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neucom.2013.12.002

Novelty detection is especially important for monitoring safety-critical systems in which novel conditions rarely occur and knowledge about novelty in that system is often limited or unavailable. There are a large number of studies in the area of nov... Read More about An experimental evaluation of novelty detection methods.
