Long-term behaviour of twin tunnels in London clay
(University of CambridgeDepartment of EngineeringCorpus Christi College, 2011-03-15)
The assessment of ageing tunnels requires a deeper understanding of the long-term behaviour of twin tunnels, whilst lack of permeability data limits the accuracy of long-term predictions. This thesis therefore investigates ...
Bayesian methods in music modelling
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2011-03-15)
This thesis presents several hierarchical generative Bayesian models of musical signals designed to improve the accuracy of existing multiple pitch detection systems and other musical signal processing applications whilst ...
Cojumping: Evidence from the US Treasury Bond and Futures Market
(2011-02)
The basis between spot and future prices will be affected by jump behavior in each asset price, challenging intraday hedging strategies. Using a formal cojumping test this paper considers the cojumping behaviour of spot ...
Large eddy simulation of supersonic combustion with application to scramjet engines
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2011-07-12)
This work evaluates the capabilities of the RANS and LES techniques for the simulation of high speed reacting flows. These methods are used to gain further insight into the physics encountered and regimes present in ...
A unified framework for resource-bounded autonomous agents interacting with unknown environments
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2011-07-12)
The aim of this thesis is to present a mathematical framework for conceptualizing and constructing adaptive autonomous systems under resource constraints. The first part of this thesis contains a concise presentation of ...
Exploring subdomain variation in biomedical language
(2011-05-27)
AbstractApplications of Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology to biomedical texts have generated significant interest in recent years. In this paper we identify and investigate the phenomenon of linguistic subdomain ...
A comparison and user-based evaluation of models of textual information structure in the context of cancer risk assessment
(2011-03-08)
Abstract Background Many practical tasks in biomedicine require accessing specific types of information in scientific literature; e.g. information about the results or conclusions of the study in question. Several schemes ...
Institutional Public Private Partnerships for Core Health Services: Evidence from Italy.
(2011-04-19)
Abstract Background Public-private partnerships (PPPs) are potential instruments to enable private collaboration in the health sector. Despite theoretical debate, empirical analyses have thus far tended to focus on the ...
Homeostasis and volume regulation in the Plasmodium falciparum infected red blood cell
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Chemical Engineering and BiotechnologyDepartment of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience, 2011-06-07)
The thesis reports on the application of advanced microanalytical techniques to answer a fundamental open question on the homeostasis of Plasmodium falciparum infected red blood cells, namely how infected cells retain their ...
