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 ...

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 ...

More than a decade after becoming a topic of intense research there is no transactional memory hardware nor any examples of software transactional memory use outside the research community. Using software transactional ...

A standard way of improving the robustness of speech recognition systems to noise is model compensation. This replaces a speech recogniser's distributions over clean speech by ones over noise-corrupted speech. For each ...

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 ...

In this paper embedded strong discontinuities are used to model discrete cracking in materials like concrete. In the approach followed a discontinuous displacement field is considered and the deformation is localized at a ...

Landslides occur both onshore and offshore. However, little attention has been given to offshore landslides (submarine landslides). Submarine landslides have significant impacts and consequences on offshore and coastal ...

Supporting computer code for the paper 'Energy stable and momentum conserving hybrid finite element method for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations' in SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing.

Modelling and analysis of design processes is non-trivial and predicting the behaviour of such systems is especially challenging. Nonetheless, the effective planning of design projects is critical for many engineering ...

Supporting computer code for the paper 'Analysis of an interface stabilised finite element method: The advection-diffusion-reaction equation', by Garth N. Wells.

This solver is in support of the paper 'Analysis of an interface stabilised finite element method: The advection-diffusion-reaction equation', by Garth N. Wells

This computer code is in support of the paper 'Automated Modelling of Evolving Discontinuities' by Mehdi Nikbakht and Garth N. Wells in the journal Algorithms.

Supporting computer code for the paper 'Unified Form Language: A domain-specific language for weak formulations of partial differential equations'

As we begin to realise the sonic and expressive potential of the computer, HCI researchers face the challenge of designing rewarding and accessible user experiences that enable individuals to explore complex creative domains ...

This paper develops concordance indices for studying the simultaneous occurrence of financial crises. The indices are designed to cope with these typically low incidence events. This leads us to confine attention to ...

In the effort to introduce fuel cell technology in the field of decentralized and mobile power generators, a hydrocarbon reformer to syngas seems to be the way for the market uptake. In this thesis, a potential technology ...

Abstract Background Numerous studies have employed microarray techniques to study changes in gene expression in connection with human disease, aging and evolution. The vast majority of human samples available for research ...
