The Term Premium and The UK Economy 1980-2007
(2010)
The term premium is estimated from an empirically coherent open economy VAR model of the UK economy where the model specifically accounts for the mixed nature of the data and cointegration between some variables. Using ...
Optimisations for quadrature representations of finite element tensors through automated code generation
(ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software, 2010)
We examine aspects of the computation of finite element matrices and vectors which are made possible by automated code generation. Given a variational form in a syntax which resembles standard mathematical notation, the ...
Expression profiling and cross-species RNA interference (RNAi) of desiccation-induced transcripts in the anhydrobiotic nematode Aphelenchus avenae
(2010-01-19)
Abstract Background Some organisms can survive extreme desiccation by entering a state of suspended animation known as anhydrobiosis. The free-living mycophagous nematode Aphelenchus avenae can be induced to enter anhydrobiosis ...
Formal reasoning on qualitative models of coinfection of HIV and Tuberculosis and HAART therapy
(2010-01-18)
Abstract Background Several diseases, many of which nowadays pandemic, consist of multifactorial pathologies. Paradigmatic examples come from the immune response to pathogens, in which cases the effects of different ...
Atomic Layer Deposition of ZnO on Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes and Its Use for Synthesis of CNT–ZnO Heterostructures
(2010-08-07)
Abstract In this article, direct coating of ZnO on PECVD-grown multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) is achieved using atomic layer deposition (ALD). Transmission electron microscopy investigation shows that the deposited ...
Q&A: Robotics as a tool to understand the brain
(2010-07-23)
Can change prediction help prioritise redesign work in future engineering systems?
(2010-05)
Future design environments will necessitate improved management of the propagation and impacts of changes. To ascertain whether change prediction can assist in making better work prioritisation decisions, this paper develops ...
An introduction to the Cambridge advanced modeller
(Modelling and Management of Engineering ProcessesModelling and Management of Engineering Processes, 2010-06-25)
Complex products and their development processes may be viewed as systems,
whose different aspects can be modelled as networks of interactions between
elements in different domains. Many approaches have been proposed to ...
Non-laminated FRP Strap Elements for Reinforced Concrete, Timber and Masonry Applications
(American Society of Civil EngineersJournal of Composites for Construction, 2010-05-11)
Advances in material technology allow for the exploration of new structural forms and systems. In recent years, fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) have emerged as candidate materials for civil engineering applications, and ...
Time-Dependent Behavior of RC Beams Retrofitted with CFRP Straps
(American Society of Civil EngineersJournal of Composites in Construction, 2010-07-16)
A retrofitting technique that uses prestressed unbonded carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) straps to provide additional shear capacity has previously been shown to be successful under short-term static loading conditions. ...
