The role and contribution of the Chief Technology Officer
(University of CambridgeDepartment of EngineeringIfM Centre for Technology ManagementDarwin College, 2011-10-11)
The Role and Contribution of the Chief Technology Officer
The role of the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) came about because of new organisational demands on technology leaders in the 1980s. The initial research objective ...
Software lock elision for x86 machine code
(University of CambridgeFaculty of Computer Science and TechnologyComputer Laboratory, 2011-07-12)
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 ...
Vibration from underground railways: considering piled foundations and twin tunnels
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2011-02-08)
Accurate predictions of ground-borne vibration levels in the vicinity of an underground railway are greatly sought after in modern urban centers. Yet the complexity involved in simulating the underground environment means ...
A model personal energy meter
(University of CambridgeFaculty of Computer Science and TechnologyComputer Laboratory, 2011-10-11)
Every day each of us consumes a significant amount of energy, both directly through transport, heating and use of appliances, and indirectly from our needs for the production of food, manufacture of goods and provision of ...
Selective cation-exchange adsorption of the two major whey proteins
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, 2010-03-16)
Whey is a by-product of cheese manufacture, containing a mixture of proteins of commercial value, each having unique attributes for nutritional, biological and food ingredient applications. A tremendous amount of whey, ...
Rainfall trends in India and their impact on soil erosion and land management
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2010-02-09)
Under the threat of global warming it is vital to determine the impact that future changes in climate may have on the environment and to what extent any adverse effects can be mitigated. In this research an assessment was ...
Scalar dissipation rate based flamelet modelling of turbulent premixed flames
(University of CambridgeDepartment of EngineeringTrinity Hall, 2010-03-16)
Lean premixed combustion has potential for reducing emissions from combustion devices without compromising fuel efficiency, but it is prone to instabilities which presents design difficulties. From emissions point of view ...
Feedback control of oscillations in combustion and cavity flows
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2010-02-09)
This thesis considers the control of combustion oscillations, motivated by the susceptibility of lean premixed combustion to such oscillations, and the long and expensive development and commissioning times that this is ...
Engineering Fundamentals of Energy Efficiency
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2010-03-16)
Using energy more efficiently is essential if carbon emissions are to be reduced. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), energy efficiency improvements represent the largest and least costly savings in carbon ...
Tomographic PIV measurement of coherent dissipation scale structures
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2010-05-04)
Further understanding the small scale coherent structures which occur in high Reynolds number turbulence would be of enormous benefit. Therefore, the aim of the current project was to make well resolved three-dimensional ...
