Pulses with relativistic and pseudo-relativistic aspirations (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Lundie, M., Lancaster, G., Hodgkinson, T., Christian, J., Mcdonald, G., & Chamorro-Posada, P. (2011, July). Pulses with relativistic and pseudo-relativistic aspirations. Presented at Waves 2011 - 10th International Conference on Mathematical and Numerical Aspects of Waves, Vancouver, Canada

Temporal solitons are robust self-localizing pulses that play a pivotal role in modern understandings of nonlinear wave phenomena. Here, we propose a new approach for describing pulses in dispersive nonlinear systems. By retaining the fuller generali...

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 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.

The DEFRA funded project “Human Response to Vibration in Residential Environments” investigates relationships between human response in residential areas, primarily in terms of annoyance, and combined effects from exposure to vibration and noise. Thi... Read More about Calculation of noise in residential environments.

Adaptation to flood risk: the case of businesses in the UK (2011)
Presentation / Conference

Despite Government investment in flood defence schemes, many properties remain at high risk of flooding. A substantial portion of these properties are business establishments. Flooding can create serious consequences for businesses, including damage... Read More about Adaptation to flood risk: the case of businesses in the UK.

Urban land use planning in Ghana : a policy input discussion (2011)
Presentation / Conference

While the weakness of extant urban land use planning system in Ghana is not in doubt it is uncertain whether current planning reforms could address the fundamental issues that underpin the ailing planning system. This work as part of an ongoing study... Read More about Urban land use planning in Ghana : a policy input discussion.

Changes in the values of ecosystem services along a rural-urban gradient (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Radford, K., & James, P. (2011, July). Changes in the values of ecosystem services along a rural-urban gradient. Presented at Synthesizing different perspectives on the value of urban ecosystem services, Lodz, Poland

The degradation and loss of vital ecosystem functions and services have been an uncontested result of urbanisation. An understanding of how ecosystem services are provided along rural-urban gradients is crucial in the task of conserving and enhancing...

Fifty years of irrelevance: the wild goose chase of management science (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Koskela, L. (2011, July). Fifty years of irrelevance: the wild goose chase of management science. Presented at 19th Annual Conference of the International Group for Lean Construction, Lima, Peru

Modern management science has existed since 1959 when two reports (by Pierson and Gordon & Howell) on the future of business education were published in the US. At least since 1980, there has been a practically continuous, but somewhat fragmented dis... Read More about Fifty years of irrelevance: the wild goose chase of management science.

Defining a New Measure for Synchronization of Multi-Channel Epileptic Depth-EEG Signals based on Identification of Parameters of a Computational Model. Presented at Intelligent Systems and Control / 742: Computational Bioscience (ISC 2011), Cambridge, United Kingdom

There are various methods to measure the value of synchronization of signals. These methods usually do not consider the sources of the signals. Therefore, these methods usually underestimate the coupling phenomena of the sources of the system that ge...
