SODAR comparison methods for compatible wind speed estimation
Thesis
This thesis includes the results of a PhD study about methods to compare Sonic Detection And Ranging (SODAR) measurements to measurements from other instruments. The study focuses on theoretical analysis, the design of a transponder system for simula... Read More about SODAR comparison methods for compatible wind speed estimation.
Changing attitudes to nature: first love, separation and pre-nuptial agreements
Preprint / Working Paper
In his inaugural lecture Professor James addresses questions such as why we keep pets, what happened in Salford on 29th October 1827, and how to improve your personal efficiency by ten to fifteen percent. The answers to these questions address diffe... Read More about Changing attitudes to nature: first love, separation and pre-nuptial agreements.

Landscape composition and spatial prediction of alveolar echinococcosis in Southern Ningxia, China
Journal Article
Background: Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) presents a serious public health challenge within China. Mass screening ultrasound surveys can detect pre-symptomatic AE, but targeting areas identified from hospital records is inefficient regarding AE. Predi...

Use of a radiative transfer model to simulate the postfire spectral response to burn severity
Journal Article
Burn severity is related to fire intensity and fire duration and provides a quantitative measure related to fire impact and biomass consumption. Traditional field-based methods to estimate burn severity are time consuming, labor intensive, and normal...

An activity-centric conceptual framework for assessing and creating positive urban soundscapes
Presentation / Conference Contribution
The Positive Soundscapes Project is an interdisciplinary investigation of soundscape perception [1].
The project seeks to develop a rounded view of human perception of soundscapes by drawing
together methods from the disciplines of engineering s... Read More about An activity-centric conceptual framework for assessing and creating positive urban soundscapes.
Proceedings of the fifth UK/BCS symposium on knowledge discovery and data mining
Book
This is the proceedings of a one day symposium on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining held at the Salford Lowry in 2009.
The topics covered included some of the most important and exciting issues in the field. There were presentations on fundamen... Read More about Proceedings of the fifth UK/BCS symposium on knowledge discovery and data mining.
Delay time modelling and software development
Thesis
Delay time modelling (DTM) is the process to establish the mathematical model
based on the delay time concept and then to use it for improving plant maintenance
management. The delay time model can be divided into a single component model
(compone... Read More about Delay time modelling and software development.
Semi-Markov and delay time models of maintenance
Thesis
This thesis is concerned with modelling inspection policies of facilities which
Qraduallv deteriorate in time. The context of inspection policies lends itself readily to
probabilistic modelling. Indeed, many of the published theoretical models to b... Read More about Semi-Markov and delay time models of maintenance.
Modelling condition monitoring inspection using the delay-time concept
Thesis
In the literature on inspection modelling, the failure distribution
traditionally plays a fundamental role in model construction in that it
is assumed that system failures occur instantly at random time points
from new with a known pdf. of time to... Read More about Modelling condition monitoring inspection using the delay-time concept.
Extracting unstructured information from the WWW to support merchant existence in e-commerce
Book Chapter
In [KM02]a model has been developed to support trust in eCommerce. The model is composed of four main modules where each module is a set of factors the consumer is looking for to trust a virtual merchant. These four modules represent the merchant exi...
