Sensitivity to model geometry in finite element analyses of reconstructed skeletal structures: Experience with a juvenile pelvis (2014)
Journal Article
Watson, P. J., Fagan, M. J., & Dobson, C. A. (2015). Sensitivity to model geometry in finite element analyses of reconstructed skeletal structures: Experience with a juvenile pelvis. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine, 229(1), 9-19. https://doi.org/10.1177/0954411914564476

Biomechanical analysis of juvenile pelvic growth can be used in the evaluation of medical devices and investigation of hip joint disorders. This requires access to scan data of healthy juveniles, which are not always freely available. This article an...

Experimental detection using cyclostationary feature detectors for cognitive radios (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zolfaghari, M., Fanan, A., Mehdawi, M., Riley, N. G., & Ammar, M. (2014, November). Experimental detection using cyclostationary feature detectors for cognitive radios. Presented at 2014 22nd Telecommunications Forum, TELFOR 2014 - Proceedings of Papers, Serbia, Belgrade

© 2014 IEEE. Signal detection is widely used in many applications. Some examples include Cognitive Radio (CR) and military intelligence. Without guaranteed signal detection, a CR cannot reliably perform its role. Spectrum sensing is currently one of...
