Terrestrial laser scanning to estimate plot-level forest canopy fuel properties (2011)
Journal Article
Garcia, M., Danson, F., Riano, D., Chuvieco, E., Ramirez Cardozo, F., & Bandugula, V. (2011). Terrestrial laser scanning to estimate plot-level forest canopy fuel properties. International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, 13(4), 636-645. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jag.2011.03.006

This paper evaluates the potential of a terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) to characterize forest canopy fuel
characteristics at plot level. Several canopy properties, namely canopy height, canopy cover, canopy base
height and fuel strata gap were est... Read More about Terrestrial laser scanning to estimate plot-level forest canopy fuel properties.

Substantial temperature dependence of transverse electron g*-factor in lead chalcogenide multi-quantum wells (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

We report significant temperature dependence of the transverse electron g*‐factor in symmetric lead chalcogenide multi‐quantum wells (MQWs). The g*‐factor values were extracted from the electron Larmor precessions recorded by means of a circularly po...

The role of smell in urban design (2011)
Thesis

The dominance of sight in built environmental design and management is well documented with smell overlooked by built environment professionals, considered of primarily negative influence upon experience and perception. However odour has special char... Read More about The role of smell in urban design.

Selecting training points for one-class support vector machines (2011)
Journal Article
Li, Y. (2011). Selecting training points for one-class support vector machines. Pattern Recognition Letters, 32(11), 1517-1522. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.patrec.2011.04.013

This paper proposes a training points selection method for one-class support vector machines. It exploits the feature of a trained one-class SVM, which uses points only residing on the exterior region of data distribution as support vectors. Thus, th...

A new unsupervised feature selection method for text clustering based on genetic algorithms (2011)
Journal Article
Shamsinejadbabki, P., & Saraee, M. (2012). A new unsupervised feature selection method for text clustering based on genetic algorithms. Journal of Intelligent Information Systems, 38(3), 669-684. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10844-011-0172-5

Nowadays a vast amount of textual information is collected and stored in various databases around the world, including the Internet as the largest database of all. This rapidly increasing growth of published text means that even the most avid reader... Read More about A new unsupervised feature selection method for text clustering based on genetic algorithms.

Behavioral responses of maned wolves (Chrysocyon brachyurus, Canidae) to different categories of environmental enrichment stimuli and their implications for successful reintroduction (2011)
Journal Article
Coelho, C., de Azevedo, C., & Young, R. (2012). Behavioral responses of maned wolves (Chrysocyon brachyurus, Canidae) to different categories of environmental enrichment stimuli and their implications for successful reintroduction. Zoo Biology, 31(4), 453-469. https://doi.org/10.1002/zoo.20410

The maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus, Illiger, 1815, Canidae) is a threatened species that inhabits the cerrados of Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Uruguay. Captive maned wolves could be potentially used in reintroduction programs fo...

Community reaction to railway vibration at different times of the day (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Peris, E., Woodcock, J., Sica, G., Moorhouse, A., & Waddington, D. (2011, July). Community reaction to railway vibration at different times of the day. Presented at 10th International Congress on Noise as a Public Health Problem (ICBEN) 2011, London, UK, London

A number of studies have shown different sensitivities to noise exposure for day, evening and night, in particular for railway and air traffic. Lden has been accepted as a good indicator for predicting noise annoyance. In the same way, time of day is... Read More about Community reaction to railway vibration at different times of the day.

Complexity & fractality in simple optical systems (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Mcdonald, G., Christian, J., Heyes, A., Millington, N., Walsh, T., & Huang, J. (2011, July). Complexity & fractality in simple optical systems. Presented at Waves 2011 - 10th International Conference on Mathematical and Numerical Aspects of Waves, Vancouver, Canada

Complexity draws on commonality of universal phenomena and brings together research in fields that are traditionally quite disparate. A key thematic in the study of complex systems is pattern emergence. Spatial pattern formation can often be categori... Read More about Complexity & fractality in simple optical systems.

A universal nonparaxial refraction law for spatial solitons (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Christian, J., Mcdonald, G., Bostock, C., McCoy, E., Sanchez-Curto, J., & Chamorro-Posada, P. (2011, July). A universal nonparaxial refraction law for spatial solitons. Presented at Waves 2011 - 10th International Conference on Mathematical and Numerical Aspects of Waves, Vancouver, Canada

The interaction of self-localizing and self-stabilizing wavepackets with interfaces is a fundamental nonlinear wave phenomenon. Indeed, interfaces play a crucial role as boundary conditions in a wide class of problem, ranging
from guided-wave optics... Read More about A universal nonparaxial refraction law for spatial solitons.
