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...

Global honey bee viral landscape altered by a parasitic mite (2012)
Journal Article
Martin, S., Highfield, A., Brettell, L., Nikado, S., Villalobos, E., & Schoder, D. (2012). Global honey bee viral landscape altered by a parasitic mite. Science, 336(6086), 1304-1306. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.1220941

Emerging diseases are among the greatest threats to honey bees. Unfortunately, where and when
an emerging disease will appear are almost impossible to predict. The arrival of the parasitic
Varroa mite into the Hawaiian honey bee population allowed... Read More about Global honey bee viral landscape altered by a parasitic mite.

Coordination and management of information for construction design projects : a framework for Portugal (2012)
Thesis

In the construction industry in Portugal, the coordination and management of
information for construction design projects has been neglected. The use of
classification systems and protocols for the communication of information amongst
the differen... Read More about Coordination and management of information for construction design projects : a framework for Portugal.

A strategic approach to the implementation of information technologies in small and medium-sized architecture, engineering and construction enterprises (2012)
Thesis

It is widely recognised that collaboration in the Architecture, Engineering and
Construction (AEC) sector increases productivity, improves quality, competitiveness
and profitability. This poses the problem of what are the most appropriate collabora... Read More about A strategic approach to the implementation of information technologies in small and medium-sized architecture, engineering and construction enterprises.
