System control has grown from manual control where humans sense the environment, analyse the result and determine control actions to semi-automated control. In semi-automated control sensing is done by sensing devices and ...

Modern radio interferometers such as those in the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project are powerful tools to discover completely new classes of astronomical phenomena. Amongst these phenomena are radio transients. Transients ...

We demonstrate that active rotations in chemically signalling particles, such as autochemotactic $\textit{E. coli}$ close to walls, create a route for pattern formation based on a nonlinear yet deterministic instability ...

This work presents the results of a combined experimental, computational and analytical study of the effects of adhesion and deformation on stretchable electronic structures. First, atomic force microscopy is used to measure ...

This dissertation presents the combined results of analytical, computational and experimental study of the effects of surface texture and nanoscale surface oxides on the optical and mechanical properties of silicon single ...

Throughout history, natural ventilation has remained the preferred choice for the majority of residential buildings, while, in commercial buildings, natural ventilation went from being the single option to somewhat of a ...

This paper offers a characterization of fundamental limits on the classification and reconstruction of high-dimensional signals from low-dimensional features, in the presence of side information. We consider a scenario ...

Computational aeroacoustics often use finite difference schemes optimized to require relatively few points per wavelength; such optimized schemes are often called Dispersion Relation Preserving (DRP). Similar techniques ...

Recently it has been proposed that the zombie vortex instability (ZVI) could precipitate hydrodynamical activity and angular momentum transport in unmagnetized regions of protoplanetary discs, also known as ‘dead zones’. ...

Audio/visual recognition and retrieval applications have recently garnered significant attention within Internet-of-Things (IoT) oriented services, given that video cameras and audio processing chipsets are now ubiquitous ...

We show that the free-by-cyclic groups of the form $F_2$ $\rtimes$ $\Bbb Z$ act properly cocompactly on CAT(0) square complexes. We also show using generalized Baumslag–Solitar groups that all known groups defined by a ...

Computational uid dynamics can be used to reproduce the complex motion of fluids for use in computer graphics, but the simulation and rendering are both highly computationally intensive. In the past performing these tasks ...

Most Social Media Platforms (SMPs) implement privacy policies that enable users to protect their sensitive information against privacy violations. However, observations indicate that users find these privacy policies ...

In communicating chronic risks, there is increasing use of a metaphor that can be termed ‘effective-age’: the age of a ‘healthy’ person who has the same risk profile as the individual in question. Popular measures include ...

We study charge diffusion in holographic scaling theories with a particle-hole symmetry. We show that these theories have a universal regime in which the diffusion constant is given by D$_{c}$ = Cv$^{2}$$_{B}$/(2πT), where ...

Today, in the world of information technology, conceptual model representation of database schemas is challenging for users both in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) domain. ...

Manually creating virtual rural worlds is often a difficult and lengthy task for artists, as plant species selection, plant distributions and water networks must be deduced such that they realistically reflect the environment ...

We propose a matrix quantum mechanics for a class of non-Abelian quantum Hall states. The model describes electrons which carry an internal SU($p$) spin. The ground states of the matrix model include spin-singlet generalizations ...

We study a U($\small N$) gauged matrix quantum mechanics which, in the large $\small N$ limit, is closely related to the chiral WZW conformal field theory. This manifests itself in two ways. First, we construct the left-moving ...

This article brings together two views of organisations: resource-based theories (RBT) and social network analysis (SNA). Resource-based theories stress the importance of tangible assets, as well as less tangible ones, ...
