The resilience of urban trees (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Wallbank, N., & James, P. (2010, September). The resilience of urban trees. Presented at Forestclim mid-term conference 'European Forestry- Fit for climate change?', Palais de congres in Nancy, France

Trees incorporated into urban environments have both ecological and social values which help sustain public health and well being. What is not known is how resilient urban trees are to the challenges, including climate change, of the 21st century. If... Read More about The resilience of urban trees.

In-situ characterisation of structure borne noise from a building mounted wind turbine (2010)
Presentation / Conference
building mounted wind turbine. Presented at ISMA 2010, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium

Building mounted micro wind turbines (BMWTs) could potentially provide a useful contribution to renewable energy production but a means of predicting structure-borne sound and vibration is required. A particular difficulty is that BMWTs can only be... Read More about In-situ characterisation of structure borne noise from a building mounted wind turbine.

Moving forward – developing resources for women with breast cancer at the end of hospital based treatment (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Fenlon, D., Reed, L., Blows, E., Wray, J., & Dewey, A. (2010, September). Moving forward – developing resources for women with breast cancer at the end of hospital based treatment. Poster presented at Cancer Care Congress, Manchester

When women inish hospital-based treatment for breast cancer and become a breast cancer survivor, they experience a distinct 're-entry' point in their lives. For many this is a time of crisis (Allen, 2009). While breast cancer patients have a range of...

Neither/nor (2010)
Exhibition / Performance
Ayliffe, M., Cleary, C., Fletcher, B., Harris, S., & Payne, A. Neither/nor. 15 September 2010 - 30 September 2010. (Unpublished)

The artists featured in Neither/Nor explore painting as an experimental site in which the traditional criteria by which painting has come to be defined have all but been expunged. Painting that is neither/nor. The artists re-examine the philosophic... Read More about Neither/nor.

Coupling of a time domain boundary element method to compliant surface models (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Hargreaves, J., & Cox, T. (2010, September). Coupling of a time domain boundary element method to compliant surface models. Presented at EAA Euroregio Conference, Ljubljana

The Boundary Element Method (BEM) can be used to predict the scattering of sound in rooms. It reduces the problem of modelling the volume of air to one involving only the surfaces; hence the number of unknowns scales more favourably with problem size...

Optical soliton pulses with relativistic characteristics (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Mcdonald, G., Christian, J., & Hodgkinson, T. (2010, September). Optical soliton pulses with relativistic characteristics. Presented at 5th International Conference on Advanced Optoelectronics & Lasers, CAOL 2010, Sevastopol, Crimea, Ukraine

The slowly varying envelope approximation and the ensuing Galilean boost to a local time frame are near-universal features of conventional scalar pulse models. Here, we will give an overview of our recent progress with a new approach to nonlinear pul... Read More about Optical soliton pulses with relativistic characteristics.

Refraction of grey solitons at defocusing Kerr interfaces (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Sanchez-Curto, J., Chamorro-Posada, P., & Mcdonald, G. (2010, September). Refraction of grey solitons at defocusing Kerr interfaces. Presented at 5th International Conference on Advanced Optoelectronics & Lasers, CAOL 2010, Sevastopol, Crimea, Ukraine

We present a generalized Snell’s law that governs grey soliton refraction at the interface separating two defocusing Kerr media. The analysis, based on the Helmholtz theory, is valid for arbitrary angles of incidence and reveals that grey solitons u... Read More about Refraction of grey solitons at defocusing Kerr interfaces.
