Instabilities & boundary conditions: fractal mode patterns in kaleidoscope lasers (2012)
Presentation / Conference
fractal mode patterns in kaleidoscope lasers. Poster presented at College of Science and Technology Research Showcase Day, University of Salford, Greater Manchester, UK

The multi-scale - or fractal - nature of transverse modes in one-dimensional (1D) unstable cavity lasers has been known since the late 1990s [1]. Early collaborations with some members of our Group demonstrated that the origin of fractality (which de...

Vector spatial solitons: off-axis nonparaxiality in coupled Helmholtz equations (2012)
Presentation / Conference
in coupled Helmholtz equations. Poster presented at College of Science and Technology Research Showcase Day, University of Salford, Greater Manchester, UK

Vector spatial solitons are complex optical beams with several distinct components. These components (which may be bright-like and/or dark-like) are localized in space and tend to overlap strongly in the propagation plane, thereby allowing the interp...

Resilient ecosystem service assessments for sustainable drainage systems (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Mak, C., James, P., & Scholz, M. (2012, June). Resilient ecosystem service assessments for sustainable drainage systems. Presented at College Research Showcase Day, Media City, University of Salford

Increased flooding caused by climate change and impervious surfaces associated with urban areas has highlighted the need to develop better drainage strategies. Excessive runoff from traditional urban drainage systems involving sewers and manholes lea... Read More about Resilient ecosystem service assessments for sustainable drainage systems.

Mixed protein–polysaccharide interfacial layers : effect of polysaccharide charge distribution (2012)
Journal Article

High-sensitivity fluorescence lifetime thermal sensing based on CdTe quantum dots (2012)
Journal Article
Martinez Maestro, L., Haro-Gonzalez, P., Martin, I. R., García-Sole, J., & Jaque, D. (2012). High-sensitivity fluorescence lifetime thermal sensing based on CdTe quantum dots. Small, 8(17), 2652-2658. https://doi.org/10.1002/smll.201102736

The potential use of CdTe quantum dots as luminescence nano-probes for lifetime fluorescence nano-thermometry is demonstrated. The maximum thermal sensitivity achievable is strongly dependent on the quantum dot size. For the smallest sizes (close to...

Acoustic condition monitoring of wind turbines: Tip faults (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Fazenda, B., & Comboni Bustos, D. (2012, June). Acoustic condition monitoring of wind turbines: Tip faults. Presented at The 9th International Conference on Condition Monitoring and Machinery Failure Prevention Technologies, London

As a significant and growing source of the world’s energy, wind turbine reliability is becoming a major concern. At least two fault detection techniques for condition monitoring of wind turbine blades have been reported in early literature, i.e. acou...

Developing exposure-response relationships for annoyance caused by vibration from freight and passenger railway traffic (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Sharp, C., Woodcock, J., Sica, G., Peris, E., Waddington, D., & Moorhouse, A. (2012, June). Developing exposure-response relationships for annoyance caused by vibration from freight and passenger railway traffic. Presented at Euronoise 2012, Prague

The aim of this paper is to apply a new categorisation algorithm to an existing database of case stud- ies in order to investigate its effectiveness in sorting unknown train vibration signals into freight and passenger train categories for exposure-r...

Constructing minimum volume surfaces using level set methods for novelty detection (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Ding, X., Li, Y., Belatreche, A., & Maguire, L. (2012, June). Constructing minimum volume surfaces using level set methods for novelty detection. Presented at International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN), Brisbane, Australia

A reliable novelty detector employs a model that encloses the normal dataset tightly. As nonparametric probability density function estimation methods make no assumptions about the probability distribution of a dataset, this paper applies kernel dens...

Privacy preserving mining of association rules on horizontally distributed databases (2012)
Presentation / Conference
distributed databases. Presented at International Conference on Software and Computer Applications ICSCA 2012, Singapore

These protocols are based on two main approaches named as: the Randomization approach and the Cryptographic approach. The first one is based on perturbation of the valuable information while the second one uses cryptographic techniques. The randomiza...
