Review of heuristics for generalisation (1995)
Journal Article
Vadera, S. (1995). Review of heuristics for generalisation. Software engineering journal, 10(4), 118-123

Proof by induction plays a central role in showing that recursive programs satisfy their specification. Sometimes a key step is to generalise a lemma so that its inductive proof is easier. Existing heuristics for generalisation for induction are... Read More about Review of heuristics for generalisation.

The prediction of industrial noise and its transmission through metal cladding systems (1995)
Thesis
Windle, R. The prediction of industrial noise and its transmission through metal cladding systems. (Thesis). University of Salford

Environmental noise is an issue of increasing concern which has resulted in much legislation over recent years. A large proportion of noise complaints arise from industrial and commercial premises.
