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 ...
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 ...
Autoregressive clustering for HMM speech synthesis
(ISCA (International Speech Communication Association)Proceedings of the 11th Annual Conference of the International Speech CommunicationProceedings of the 11th Annual Conference of the International Speech Communication, 2011)
The autoregressive HMM has been shown to provide efficient parameter estimation and high-quality synthesis, but in previous experiments decision trees derived from a non-autoregressive system were used.
In this paper we ...
Thin-walled composite deployable booms with tape-spring hinges
(University of CambridgeDepartment of EngineeringWolfson College, 2011-07-12)
Deployable structures made from ultra-thin composite materials can
be folded elastically and are able to self-deploy by releasing the
stored strain energy. Their lightness, low cost due to smaller
number of components, ...
Acoustics and manufacture of Caribbean steelpans
(University of CambridgeDepartment of EngineeringWolfson CollegeInstitute for Manufacturing, 2011-03-15)
The Caribbean steelpan is a pitched percussion instrument that originated in Trinidad and Tobago
during the Second World War. Despite several research initiatives to improve the making of this
relatively new instrument, ...
Social network support for data delivery infrastructures
(University of CambridgeFaculty of Computer Science and TechnologyComputer Laboratory, 2011-10-11)
Network infrastructures often need to stage content so that it is accessible to consumers. The standard solution, deploying the content on a centralised server, can be inadequate in several situations.
Our thesis is ...
