Multiwavelet Collocation Boundary Element Solution of Laplace's Equation (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this paper we present the result of a preliminary investigation into the collocation method, based on multiwavelet approximation, for boundary integral equations with analytically standard kernels. We apply the method to the boundary integral solu... Read More about Multiwavelet Collocation Boundary Element Solution of Laplace's Equation.

User requirement capture in construction IT: The case of the DIVERCITY project (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

There is a gap between construction IT (CIT) research and its uptake within the construction industry. One way to reduce this gap is better requirements capture and testing during CIT research.
DIVERCITY was a European consortium of researchers and... Read More about User requirement capture in construction IT: The case of the DIVERCITY project.

Requirements engineering process in the CIC development: The divercity project case study (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Understanding the users’ real requirements is absolutely critical to the development of successful information systems. To achieve a user-oriented and a high level quality of system and to increase the implementation of the integrated software system...

The role of hypocapnia in the development of syncope during orthostatic stress following plasma volume expansion (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Hypotension is considered to be the cause of syncope during
lower body negative pressure (LBNP). However, hypocapnia
induced by hyperventilation has been observed in subjects
preceding syncope, and may contribute to the onset of syncope
by reduci... Read More about The role of hypocapnia in the development of syncope during orthostatic stress following plasma volume expansion.

Divercity: A case study in systems improvement through testing (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper describes the case study of a system testing for DIVERCITY. DIVERCITY was an EU funded project undertaken by a European consortium of researchers and practitioners from the construction industry. They were working together in an attempt to...

A case study on developing the graduate teaching assistant role in higher education (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Universities are developing their use of Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs) in a haphazard and sometimes exploitative way. This paper discusses relevant literature and examples of practice from Universities in the UK. It goes on to describe the dev...

P25. Tolerance and diagnostic accuracy of myocardial scintigraphy with adenosine infusion, 6 min (standard) versus 3 min (abbreviated) protocol (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Myocardial perfusion scintigraphy with adenosine is an effective and safe method for diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD). Various reports suggest that a 3 min stress regime is as efficacious as a 6 min regime. The aim of the study was to study t... Read More about P25. Tolerance and diagnostic accuracy of myocardial scintigraphy with adenosine infusion, 6 min (standard) versus 3 min (abbreviated) protocol.

Exploring 'tribal' identity to study online communities (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Eigenmode analysis of optical propagation in large-scale subwavelength periodic nanostructures (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Summary form only given. We describe a method for rigorously computing the mode characteristics of a periodic nanostructure, and its application to the accurate design of composite optical materials and novel optical devices. In a form-birefringent n... Read More about Eigenmode analysis of optical propagation in large-scale subwavelength periodic nanostructures.

Towards a control software design environment using a meta-modelling technique (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The novelty of this paper is mainly the integration of multi-disciplinary software tools into a control software design environment, namely the Integrated Design Notation (IDN). The IDN supports the design, development and implementation of decentral... Read More about Towards a control software design environment using a meta-modelling technique.

Voting algorithms in multiple error scenarios for real-time control applications (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Voting algorithms are used to arbitrate between the variant results in fault tolerant systems. Traditional voters produce incorrect outputs in multiple error conditions. This paper introduces a class of voters, called predictor voters, which can reso... Read More about Voting algorithms in multiple error scenarios for real-time control applications.
