Wavelength selective coupler with vertical gratings on silicon chip (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

We propose a wavelength selective coupler using vertical grating structure on silicon chip and discuss the operation principle and the analytic design procedure. The transmission spectra expected by the procedure agree with finite difference time dom... Read More about Wavelength selective coupler with vertical gratings on silicon chip.

A developmental model of basic ICT skills for pre-service trainee teachers (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Resource limitations present several challenges to diffusion of ICT skills in developing (non-OECD) countries. Trainee teachers join colleges of teacher education with little or no prior exposure to technologies such as mobile phones or computers. Di...

An algorithm to mine general association rules from tabular data (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Mining association rules is a major technique within data mining and has many applications. Most methods for mining association rules from tabular data mine simple rules which only represent equality in their items. Limiting the operator only to “=”...

On clustering attribute-oriented induction (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Conceptual clustering forms groups of related data items using some distance metrics. Inductive techniques like attribute-oriented induction AOI) generate meta-level descriptions of attribute values without explicitly stated distance metrics and over...

Query coordination for distributed data sharing in P2P networks (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Organisations often store information about the same entity objects or features in different formats. Accessing and integrating this distributed information can be a difficult task because of schema differences and database platform issues. In this p...

Fabrication techniques for long range surface plasmon waveguides (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

We present different techniques for fabricating long-range plasmonic waveguides. Due to the requirement of symmetric cladding, fabrication is highly dependent on the material system used. Results are given for materials such as SU8 and polydimethylsi... Read More about Fabrication techniques for long range surface plasmon waveguides.

The future for knowledge management: a rocky road or sunlit green meadows? A discussion of Eastern European perspectives (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Towards building information modelling for existing structures (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Capturing and modelling 3D information of the built environment is very challenging. A number of techniques and technologies are now in use such as EDM, GPS, photogrammetric applications, and building surveying applications. However, use of these tec...

The influence of blinds on temperatures and air flows within ventilated double-skin façades (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Ventilated façades have become an increasingly employed feature in the design of low energy buildings over recent years in that they offer the attractive features of a conventional glass façade but without the thermal disadvantages. These façades con... Read More about The influence of blinds on temperatures and air flows within ventilated double-skin façades.

An innovative approach to programme delivery within an allied health degree (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The development of a new inter-professional allied health degree at the University of Salford provided opportunities for partnerships with a number of organisations & individuals. This report will focus on the partnership with the Manchester Mental H... Read More about An innovative approach to programme delivery within an allied health degree.

Illness perceptions, coping and outcomes in fibromyalgia (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Background: The self-regulatory model proposes cognitive representations of illness influence illness coping strategies and, in turn illness outcomes [1,2]. There is evidence illness representations affect outcomes in RA [3] but not for the mediating... Read More about Illness perceptions, coping and outcomes in fibromyalgia.

Di lotta e di governo: The Lega Nord and Rifondazione Comunista in coalition (2007)

Validation of a mathematical model to estimate turning movements as roundabouts using field data (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this paper, a mathematical model was presented and used to determine turning movements at roundabouts based on field data. Assumptions were made in order to simplify the model; such as no U_turns from and to the same arm of a roundabout, total tr...

375 THz parametric translation of modulated signal from 1550nm to visible band (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Record parametric frequency-translation of NRZ-modulated signal over 375THz is demonstrated using silica-PCF. The 1550-nm band is mapped to visible 500-nm spectral window, proving the feasibility of all-fiber universal band translator. Both single-ch...
