Supporting material for the paper 'Analysis of an interface stabilised finite element method: The advection-diffusion-reaction equation'
(2010-10-20)
Supporting computer code for the paper 'Analysis of an interface stabilised finite element method: The advection-diffusion-reaction equation', by Garth N. Wells.
In-situ photocatalytic remediation of organic contaminants in groundwater
(University of CambridgeDepartment of EngineeringClare Hall, 2010-07-06)
This research is about the development of a photocatalytic reactor design, Honeycomb, for in-situ groundwater remediation. Photocatalysis, typically a pseudo first order advanced oxidation process, is initiated via the ...
A systems approach to improving patient safety through medical device purchasing
(University of CambridgeDepartment of EngineeringSt John's College, 2010-10-12)
The purchase of medical devices involves engaging various stakeholders as well as balancing clinical, technical and financial requirements. Failure to consider these requirements can lead to wider consequences in the ...
Detecting Contagion with Correlation: Volatility and Timing Matter
(CFAP, Cambridge Judge Business School, University of Cambridge, 2010-05)
We examine whether contagion tests are affected by controls for volatility clustering and the collection of synchronized data sets. Without controlling for volatility clustering synchronization does not apparently matter. ...
Do Disaster Expectations Explain Household Portfolios?
(CFAP, Cambridge Judge Business School, University of Cambridge, 2010-03)
It has been argued that rare economic disasters can explain most asset pricing puzzles. If this is the case, perceived risk associated with a disaster in stock markets should be revealed in household portfolios. That is, ...
The production of pure hydrogen with simultaneous capture of carbon dioxide
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, 2010-10-12)
The need to stabilise or even reduce the production of anthropogenic CO2 makes the capture of CO2 during energy generation from carbonaceous fuels, e.g. coal or biomass, necessary for the future. For hydrogen, an ...
Unsupervised intralingual and cross-lingual speaker adaptation for HMM-based speech synthesis using two-pass decision tree construction
(IEEE Transactions on Audio, Speech and Language Processing, 2010)
Hidden Markov model (HMM)-based speech synthesis systems possess several advantages over concatenative synthesis systems. One such advantage is the relative ease with which HMM-based systems are adapted to speakers not ...
Direct numerical simulations of spray spark ignition
(Engineering Department, 2010-09-09)
Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) of a mono-disperse spray in a turbulent flow have been used to explore the nature of flame kernels when a spark is deposited in the spray. The simulations use complicated chemistry and ...
Unsupervised cross-lingual speaker adaptation for HMM-based speech synthesis using two-pass decision tree construction
(Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal ProcessingProceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing, 2010)
This paper demonstrates how unsupervised cross-lingual adaptation of HMM-based speech synthesis models may be performed without explicit knowledge of the adaptation data
language. A two-pass decision tree construction ...
Autoignition of droplets in hot air flow
(2010-09-09)
A single-droplet generator has been used to inject fuel droplets of various sizes and chemical composition into a hot turbulent air flow. The ensuing autoignition and flame behaviour has been recorded with a fast camera. ...
