Unique decipherability in formal languages (2019)
Journal Article
Bell, P. C., Reidenbach, D., & Shallit, J. O. (2020). Unique decipherability in formal languages. Theoretical Computer Science, 804, 149 - 160. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tcs.2019.11.022

We consider several language-theoretic aspects of various notions of unique decipherability (or unique factorization) in formal languages. Given a language L at some position within the Chomsky hierarchy, we investigate the language of words UD(L) in... Read More about Unique decipherability in formal languages.

A gyro-elastic device for cloaking of elastic waves in micro-structured materials (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Garau, M., Nieves, M., Carta, G., & Brun, M. (2019, September). A gyro-elastic device for cloaking of elastic waves in micro-structured materials. Presented at International Congress on Advanced Electromagnetic Materials in Microwaves and Optics (METAMATERIALS), Rome, Italy

The design of a structured gyro-elastic system capable of being used as a cloaking device for a discrete medium is discussed. The efficiency of the gyro-elastic cloak, composed of springs connecting periodically placed masses, attached to gyroscopic...

Evaluating the Usability of an e-Learning Platform within Higher Education from a Student Perspective (2019)
Presentation / Conference
De Quincey. (2019, November). Evaluating the Usability of an e-Learning Platform within Higher Education from a Student Perspective. Presented at 3rd International Conference on Education and E-Learning (ICEEL 2019)., Barcelona

With the advancement in information technologies, e-learning has become an integral part of the modern higher education system. As part of this progression, Universities have increasingly adopted Virtual Learning Environments (VLE) that enable learne...

Extracting Cancer pagurus stomatogastric ganglion pyloric rhythm frequency via voltage-sensitive dye imaging data using signal processing techniques (2019)
Thesis
dos Santos, F. Extracting Cancer pagurus stomatogastric ganglion pyloric rhythm frequency via voltage-sensitive dye imaging data using signal processing techniques. (Thesis). Keele University. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/414939

Voltage-sensitive dye imaging (VSDI) has been widely used in the past few decades in both vertebrates and invertebrates to study, in vitro and in vivo, the nervous systems. Cancer pagurus is a seawater crab whose nervous system has a ganglion, the st...

Coupling of acoustic and intrinsic modes in 1-D combustor models (2019)
Journal Article
Shrira, V., & Mukherjee, N. K. (2019). Coupling of acoustic and intrinsic modes in 1-D combustor models. Combustion Science and Technology, 193(6), 889-910. https://doi.org/10.1080/00102202.2019.1678593

The work is concerned with the theoretical examination of a new type of thermo-acoustic instability in combustors not reported in the literature. The instability results from linear coupling between the conventional acoustic mode and the recently dis... Read More about Coupling of acoustic and intrinsic modes in 1-D combustor models.

Flexural vibration systems with gyroscopic spinners. (2019)
Journal Article
Carta, G., Nieves, M. J., Jones, I., Movchan, N., & Movchan, A. (2019). Flexural vibration systems with gyroscopic spinners. Philosophical Transactions A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 20190154 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsta.2019.0154

In this paper, we study the spectral properties of a finite system of flexural elements connected by gyroscopic spinners. We determine how the eigenfrequencies and eigenmodes of the system depend on the gyricity of the spinners. In addition, we prese...

Factors affecting the growth of infants diagnosed with cystic fibrosis by newborn screening (2019)
Journal Article
Gilchrist, & Kyriacou. (2019). Factors affecting the growth of infants diagnosed with cystic fibrosis by newborn screening. BMC Pediatrics, https://doi.org/10.1186/s12887-019-1727-9

Newborn screening (NBS) for cystic fibrosis (CF) improves nutritional outcomes. Despite early dietetic intervention some children fail to grow optimally. We report growth from birth to 2 years in a cohort of children diagnosed with CF by NBS and iden...

Measuring Similarity Between Discontinuous Intervals - Challenges and Solutions (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kabir, S., Wagner, C., Havens, T. C., & Anderson, D. T. (2019, June). Measuring Similarity Between Discontinuous Intervals - Challenges and Solutions. Presented at 2019 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE), New Orleans, LA, USA

Discontinuous intervals (DIs) arise in a wide range of contexts, from real world data capture of human opinion to α-cuts of non-convex fuzzy sets. Commonly, for assessing the similarity of DIs, the latter are converted into their continuous form, fol...

Using Fuzzy Inference system for detection the edges of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Images (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ibraheem Jabbar, S., Day, C. R., & Chadwick, E. K. (2019, June). Using Fuzzy Inference system for detection the edges of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Images

Edge detection in Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Imaging readily allows an ultrasound image to be rendered as a binary image. This facilitates automated measurement of geometric parameters, such as muscle thickness, circumference and cross-sectional area...
