A transient boundary element method model of Schroeder diffuser scattering using well mouth impedance (2008)
Journal Article
Hargreaves, J., & Cox, T. (2008). A transient boundary element method model of Schroeder diffuser scattering using well mouth impedance. The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (Online), 124(5), 2942-2951. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.2982420Room acoustic diffusers can be used to treat critical listening environments to improve sound quality. One popular class is Schroeder diffusers, which comprise wells of varying depth separated by thin fins. This paper concerns a new approach to ena...

Lower body exoskeleton for walking gait assistance and performance augmentation using compliance controlled actuators (2008)
Thesis
Successful motor rehabilitation after stroke or traumatic brain/spinal cord injures requires a
highly intensive and task-specific therapy-based approach. Currently many patients with these
types of pathologies are confined to wheelchairs, which res... Read More about Lower body exoskeleton for walking gait assistance and performance augmentation using compliance controlled actuators.
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been used to investigate the
damage produced following high temperature (350°C) Xe implantation into (100)
Si at fluence (>lx!0 16 Xe ions/cm 2 ) and energy (250keV) which produce a buried
amorphous layer... Read More about A transmission electron microscopy study of the interaction between defects in amorphous silicon and a moving crystalline/amorphous interface.
Spatial modelling of small mammal distributions in relation to parasite transmission in western China (2008)
Thesis
This research investigates the spatial distributions of small mammal species which act
as intermediate host vectors for the parasitic tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis, which
causes a significant burden of human disease in western China. Small m... Read More about Spatial modelling of small mammal distributions in relation to parasite transmission in western China.

Communicating eye gaze across a distance without rooting participants to the spot (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Eye gaze is an important conversational resource that
until now could only be supported across a distance if people were rooted to the spot. We introduce EyeCVE, the

Acoustic diagnosis of driving belt physical condition in enclosures (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Timing belt transmission is a key subsystem of international combustion engines. Faults in such belt systems lead to power loss, increased emissions and, in case of failure, may even cause severe damage to the whole engine. Hitherto, the physical con...
