Silent speech interfaces (2009)
Journal Article
Denby, B., Schultz, T., Honda, K., Hueber, T., Gilbert, J. M., & Brumberg, J. S. (2010). Silent speech interfaces. Speech communication, 52(4), 270-287. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.specom.2009.08.002

The possibility of speech processing in the absence of an intelligible acoustic signal has given rise to the idea of a 'silent speech' interface, to be used as an aid for the speech-handicapped, or as part of a communications system operating in sile... Read More about Silent speech interfaces.

Gravity wave turbulence in wave tanks: Space and time statistics (2009)
Journal Article
Lukaschuk, S., Nazarenko, S., McLelland, S., & Denissenko, P. (2009). Gravity wave turbulence in wave tanks: Space and time statistics. Physical review letters, 103(4), Article ARTN 044501. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.103.044501

We present the first simultaneous space-time measurements for gravity wave turbulence in a large laboratory flume. We found that the slopes of k and ω wave spectra depend on wave intensity. This cannot be explained by any existing theory considering... Read More about Gravity wave turbulence in wave tanks: Space and time statistics.

The role of floodplains in attenuating contaminated sediment fluxes in formerly mined drainage basins (2008)
Journal Article
Dennis, I. A., Coulthard, T. J., Brewer, P., & Macklin, M. G. (2009). The role of floodplains in attenuating contaminated sediment fluxes in formerly mined drainage basins. Earth surface processes and landforms : the journal of the British Geomorphological Research Group, 34(3), 453-466. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.1762

Many upland river catchments in the UK have been historically mined for metals such as lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn), and as part of the mining process large quantities of metal contaminated sediment were released into the river system. The levels of sedim... Read More about The role of floodplains in attenuating contaminated sediment fluxes in formerly mined drainage basins.

The cost of conflict: agonistic encounters influence responses to chemical signals in the European shore crab (2008)
Journal Article
Fletcher, N., & Hardege, J. D. (2009). The cost of conflict: agonistic encounters influence responses to chemical signals in the European shore crab. Animal behaviour, 77(2), 357-361. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2008.10.007

The determination of an individual's behaviour often relies upon complex signals that convey messages about the environment it inhabits. In aquatic environments such signals take varied and conflicting forms including chemical cues indicating food or...

Comparison of energy harvesting systems for wireless sensor networks (2008)

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) offer an attractive solution to many environmental, security, and process monitoring problems. However, one barrier to their fuller adoption is the need to supply electrical power over extended periods of time without...

Change, Continuity and Contradictions in May Day Celebrations in Northamptonshire (2008)
Journal Article
Smith, K. (2008). Change, Continuity and Contradictions in May Day Celebrations in Northamptonshire. Folklore, 119(2), 142-159. https://doi.org/10.1080/00155870802056944

Most teachers and students of folklore and folkloristics will have encountered the widespread and persistent belief that “folklore,” including traditional beliefs and behaviours, customs and rituals, is dying. Indeed, this is a position that has char... Read More about Change, Continuity and Contradictions in May Day Celebrations in Northamptonshire.

Causes of rapid mixing at a junction of two large rivers: Río Paraná and Río Paraguay, Argentina (2008)
Journal Article
Lane, S. N., Parsons, D. R., Best, J. L., Orfeo, O., Kostaschuk, R. A., & Hardy, R. J. (2008). Causes of rapid mixing at a junction of two large rivers: Río Paraná and Río Paraguay, Argentina. Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 113(F2), 0 - 0. https://doi.org/10.1029/2006jf000745

Airborne and satellite observations show that when large rivers join they can take hundreds of kilometers to mix completely but, on occasion, may mix very rapidly. Application of established semitheoretical analyses shows that long mixing lengths sho...

Late quaternary valley fill sediments in the River Tyne valley: Understanding late Devensian deglaciation and early postglacial response in northern England (2008)
Thesis
Yorke, L. Late quaternary valley fill sediments in the River Tyne valley: Understanding late Devensian deglaciation and early postglacial response in northern England. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4209010

This thesis reconstructs part of the deglacial and early post-glacial history of the River Tyne Valley, Northumberland. Data has been gathered through description and interpretation of sedimentary sequences and stratigraphies from quarry and cut-bank...

Development of a (silent) speech recognition system for patients following laryngectomy (2007)
Journal Article
Fagan, M. J., Ell, S. R., Gilbert, J. M., Sarrazin, E., & Chapman, P. M. (2008). Development of a (silent) speech recognition system for patients following laryngectomy. Medical engineering & physics, 30(4), 419-425. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.medengphy.2007.05.003

Surgical voice restoration post-laryngectomy has a number of limitations and drawbacks. The present gold standard involves the use of a tracheo-oesophageal fistula (TOF) valve to divert air from the lungs into the throat, which vibrates, and from thi...

Design of electronic systems based on functional capability (2007)
Journal Article

An important measure of design quality is the extent to which a circuit design is able to meets its specification in the presence of component parameter variations. Of equal importance is knowing how to improve this capability most effectively. This... Read More about Design of electronic systems based on functional capability.

Near wake of emergent vegetation patches in shallow flow
Journal Article
Wunder, S., Trevisson, M., Heckele, C., Chagot, L., Murphy, B., McLelland, S., Moulin, F., & Eiff, O. (2018). Near wake of emergent vegetation patches in shallow flow. E3S Web of Conferences, 40, Article 02057. https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/20184002057

Vegetation patches are particularly difficult to quantify in terms of flow resistance due to their complex geometry and topological behaviour under hydrodynamic loading. They not only influence the water level and mean velocities due to the drag they... Read More about Near wake of emergent vegetation patches in shallow flow.
