Tip clearance flows in axial compressors: stall inception and stability enhancement
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2012-02-07)The flow in the rotor tip clearance gap in an axial compressor influences the loss levels and the stall onset point. The role of tip clearance flows in the stall inception process is still debated, though. The aim of this ...

Gaussian processes for state space models and change point detection
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2012-02-07)This thesis details several applications of Gaussian processes (GPs) for enhanced time series modeling. We first cover different approaches for using Gaussian processes in time series problems. These are extended to the ...

Colour videos with depth : acquisition, processing and evaluation
(University of Cambridge, 2012-03-06)The human visual system lets us perceive the world around us in three dimensions by integrating evidence from depth cues into a coherent visual model of the world. The equivalent in computer vision and computer graphics ...

Exploring a capability-demand interaction model for inclusive design evaluation
(University of CambridgeDepartment of EngineeringEngineering Design Centre, 2012-03-06)Designers are required to evaluate their designs against the needs and capabilities of their target user groups in order to achieve successful, inclusive products. This dissertation presents exploratory research into the ...

The application of selective reaction monitoring shows dysregulation of glycolysis in a preclinical model of schizophrenia
(2012-03-15)Abstract Background Establishing preclinical models is essential for novel drug discovery in schizophrenia. Most existing models are characterized by abnormalities in behavioral readouts, which are informative, but do not ...

Effects of solution exposure on the combined axial-shear behaviour of unidirectional CFRP rods
(ElsevierComposites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing, 2012-04-06)In fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) prestressed concrete applications, an FRP tendon must sustain high axial tensile stresses and, if cracks occur, additional dowel forces. The tendon may also be exposed to solutions and so ...

Slum upgrading in India and Kenya: investigating the sustainability
(University of CambridgeDepartment of EngineeringCentre for Sustainable DevelopmentSt Edmund's College, 2012-04-10)Slums are informal housing settlements commonly found in urban areas of developing countries which are characterised by poor shelter, low service provision and lacking in security of tenure. Slums are growing and new slums ...

Forcing of globally unstable jets and flames
(University of CambridgeDepartment of EngineeringEmmanuel CollegeGates Scholar, 2012-04-10)In the analysis of thermoacoustic systems, a flame is usually characterised by the way its heat release responds to acoustic forcing. This response depends on the hydrodynamic stability of the flame. Some flames, such ...
