Technological roots and structural implications of the double bubble at the turn of the Century
(CFAP, Cambridge Judge Business School, University of Cambridge, 2009-04)This paper argues that the two boom and bust episodes of the turn of the Century – the Internet mania and crash of 1990s and the easy liquidity boom and bust of 2000s– are two distinct components of a single structural ...

Technology acquisition: sourcing technology from industry partners
(University of CambridgeDepartment of EngineeringCentre for Technology Management, 2013-07-09)This thesis describes the conditions that influence technology acquisition when an industry partner is involved. The objective of this thesis is to contribute to the knowledge regarding the conditions that affect effective ...

Testing for changing persistence in US treasury on/off spreads under weighted-symmetric estimation
(CFAP, Cambridge Judge Business School, University of Cambridge, 2010)We extend the recursive break test procedure of Leybourn et al. by using weighted-symmetric estimation to detect a single change in time series persistence. An application to U.S. Treasury bond on/off spreads finds a ...

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 ...

The axial behaviour of piled foundations in liquefiable soil
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2012-07-03)Understanding the mechanisms by which any engineering structure resists load is an essential requirement for its consistent and reliable design. The axial resistance which can be mobilised by piled foundations in liquefiable ...

The Development of a Set of Principles for Through-Life Management of Engineering Information
(Engineering Design Centre, Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge, 2009-10-26)Corporate business models are shifting away from product delivery paradigms to product-service paradigms, where ongoing through-life service support is preeminent. In the UK, a Grand Challenge project (www.kimproject.org) ...

The dynamic cutting of metals
(University of CambridgeEngineering Laboratory, 1962)Prediction of regenerative machine tool chatter requires a knowledge of the cutting forces existing under vibration conditions. Previous direct experimental work has been very limited in its range and has given results ...

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 ...

The effect of inkjet ink composition on rheology and jetting behaviour
(Proc 27th Int. Conf. on Digital Printing Technologies, 2011)This work presents recent results on the way linear and non linear viscoelastic properties of the fluids affect the jetting mechanism. Recent progress on quantitative characterising both high frequency linear (LVE) and ...

The effect of using normalized models in statistical speech synthesis
(ISCA (International Speech Communication Association), 2011-08-27)The standard approach to HMM-based speech synthesis is inconsistent in the enforcement of the deterministic constraints between static and dynamic features. The trajectory HMM and autoregressive HMM have been proposed as ...

The elastic and plastic behaviour of cellular materials
(University of CambridgeChurchill CollegeDepartment of Engineering, 1981-11-10)Cellular materials are widespread. Some, like wood and bone, occur in nature, while others, like polymeric foams, are manmade. Because of their cellular structure, they have unusual mechanical properties: they can be stiff, ...

The first step in the development of text mining technology for cancer risk assessment: identifying and organizing scientific evidence in risk assessment literature
(2009-09-22)Abstract Background One of the most neglected areas of biomedical Text Mining (TM) is the development of systems based on carefully assessed user needs. We have recently investigated the user needs of an important task yet ...

The growth and composition of primary and community-based care services. Metrics and evidence from the Italian National Health Service
(2012-11-13)Abstract Background Over the past few decades, in OECD countries there has been a general growing trend in the prevalence of out-of-hospital healthcare services, but there is a general lack of data on the use of these ...

The new Basel accord and developing countries: problems and alternatives
(CFAP, Cambridge Judge Business School, University of Cambridge, 2002)The new Basel Accord framework relies on markets and supervisors to discipline banks. Yet both markets and supervisors fail, and more so in developing countries than in high-income countries. Therefore, the new Accord is ...

The P3 platform: an approach and software system for developing diagrammatic model-based methods in design research
(Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Engineering Design' ICED '09, Vol.1: Design ProcessesProceedings of the 17th International Conference on Engineering Design' ICED '09, Vol.1: Design Processes, 2009-08-24)Many issues in design and design management have been explored by building models which capture the relationships between different aspects of the problem at hand. These models require computer support to construct and ...
