Measurements of the structure of turbulent premixed and stratified methane/air flames
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2011-11-08)
The influence of stratification on the structure of turbulent methane/air combustion is investigated using experimental data from laboratory scale burners: a weakly turbulent slot burner, and a higher turbulence co-annular ...
Stochastic hub and spoke networks
(University of CambridgeJudge Business School, 2011-10-11)
Transportation systems such as mail, freight, passenger and even telecommunication systems most often employ a hub and spoke network structure since correctly designed they give a strong balance between high service quality ...
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 ...
Ultra-High Speed Particle Image Velocimetry on Drop-on-Demand Jetting
(Proc 27th Int. Conf. on Digital Printing Technologies NIP27, 2011)
An experimental setup to study the dynamics of droplet jetting from a commercially available print-head is described. A MicroFab print-head with an 80 µm
diameter transparent nozzle was set to print droplets at a speed ...
Experimental investigation of the impact, spreading, and drying of picolitre droplets onto substrates with a broad range of wettabilities
(2011-10-02)
The effect of the substrate wettability on the deposition of
picolitre droplets by drop-on-demand technology is investigated
experimentally. Substrates with a broad range of wettabilities are
considered with contact ...
The dynamics of the impact and coalescence of droplets on a solid surface
(Biomicrofluidics, 2011)
A simple experimental setup to study the impact and coalescence of deposited droplets is described. Droplet impact and coalescence have been investigated by high-speed particle image velocimetry. Velocity fields near the ...
Second-order algebraic theories
(University of CambridgeFaculty of Computer Science and Technology, 2011-11-08)
Second-order universal algebra and second-order equational logic respectively provide a model theory and a formal deductive system for languages with variable binding and parameterised metavariables. This work
completes ...
Toward a Requirements Apprentice: On the Boundary Between Informal and Formal Specifications
(1986-07-01)
Requirements acquisition is one of the most important and least well supported parts of the software development process. The Requirements Apprentice (RA) will assist a human analyst in the creation and modification ...
Learning a Color Algorithm from Examples
(1987-06-01)
We show that a color algorithm capable of separating illumination from reflectance in a Mondrian world can be learned from a set of examples. The learned algorithm is equivalent to filtering the image data---in which ...
Ill-Posed Problems in Early Vision
(1987-05-01)
The first processing stage in computational vision, also called early vision, consists in decoding 2D images in terms of properties of 3D surfaces. Early vision includes problems such as the recovery of motion and ...
