Neural networks for condition monitoring and fault diagnosis : The effect of training data on classifier performance (1999)
Presentation / Conference
Parikh, C., Pont, M., Li, Y., & Jones, N. (1999, April). Neural networks for condition monitoring and fault diagnosis : The effect of training data on classifier performance. Presented at International Conference on Condition Monitoring, Swansea, UK

This paper focuses on the development of neural-based condition-monitoring and fault-diagnosis (CMFD) systems. Specifically, we consider the impact of the limited availability of `faulty' training data in real CMFD applications. Where limited data ar...

On-street parking manoeuvres and their effects on design (1999)
Presentation / Conference
Purnawan, & Yousif, S. (1999, March). On-street parking manoeuvres and their effects on design. Presented at 4th ISSM, Kassel, Germany

Vehicle manoeuvres when entering or leaving on-street parking can be a contributory factor to causing congestion. Little explicit attention has been given to these manoeuvres and their indirect potential effects on the moving traffic. In the design...

Journal Article
G, H. (1999). History of sleeping sickness in East Africa. Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 12, 112-25. https://doi.org/10.1128/CMR.12.1.112

The history of human sleeping sickness in East Africa is characterized by the appearance of disease epidemics interspersed by long periods of endemicity. Despite the presence of the tsetse fly in large areas of East Africa, these epidemics tend to oc... Read More about History of sleeping sickness in East Africa..

Combining active learning with inductive logic programming to close the loop in machine learning (1999)
Book Chapter
programming to close the loop in machine learning. In S. Colton (Ed.), Proceedings of AISB'99 Symposium on AI and Scientific Creativity (59-64). The Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and Simulation of Behaviour (AISB)

Machine Learning (ML) systems that produce human-comprehensible hypotheses from data are typically open loop, with no direct link between the ML system and the collection of data. This paper describes the alternative, it Closed Loop Machine Learning.... Read More about Combining active learning with inductive logic programming to close the loop in machine learning.

Applications of delay time theory to maintenance practice of complex plant (1999)
Thesis
Lee, C. Applications of delay time theory to maintenance practice of complex plant. (Thesis). University of Salford, UK

This thesis is concerned with investigating and understanding the role and consequence of different modelling options and parameter estimation options for modelling a complex plant.

The implications for industry of internationally recognised environmental management system (EMS) standards (1999)
Thesis
Goodchild, E. The implications for industry of internationally recognised environmental management system (EMS) standards. (Thesis). University of Salford

The first industry standard for environmental management systems, BS 7750, was published in the UK in September 1994. Since then we have seen the EC Ecomanagement and Audit Scheme come into force in April 1995 and an international environmental ma...

Colour/space : its quality management in architecture : the colour/space unity as an unity of visual communication (1999)
Thesis
Moreira da Silva, F. Colour/space : its quality management in architecture : the colour/space unity as an unity of visual communication. (Thesis). University of Salford

In external city environment areas there is a poor understanding and often no conscious use of colour. The experts that work with colour, in terms of the built environment either as projectmakers, or as managers (decision-makers), are poorly prepa...

Thin film sensor techniques for the instrumentation of ceramic/metal interfaces in next generation aero gas turbines (1999)
Thesis
Shepherd, R. Thin film sensor techniques for the instrumentation of ceramic/metal interfaces in next generation aero gas turbines. (Thesis). University of Salford

The growth of thrust and improved aeroengine efficiency has been gained by increased temperatures throughout the engine. This has been achieved by improved material technology and the continuous cooling of components complemented by the addition o...
