Comparison of body surface and intracardiac ECG recordings in patients with atrial fibrillation during electrophysiological studies (2012)
Journal Article
Bojarnejad, M., Blake, J., Bourke, J. P., Murray, A., & Langley, P. (2012). Comparison of body surface and intracardiac ECG recordings in patients with atrial fibrillation during electrophysiological studies. IFMBE proceedings, 39 IFMBE, 612-615. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-29305-4_160

Atrial fibrillation (AF) dominant frequency (DF) is thought to reflect the degree of organisation of underlying atrial activity (AA). Our aim was to evaluate the relationship between the DFs from the body surface electrocardiogram (ECG) and intracard...

17O(α,γ)21Ne and17O(α, n)20Ne for the weak s process (2012)
Journal Article
Best, A., Görres, J., Beard, M., Couder, M., deBoer, R., Falahat, S., …Wiescher, M. (2012). 17O(α,γ)21Ne and17O(α, n)20Ne for the weak s process. AIP conference proceedings, 1498, 309-313. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4768509

The ratio of the reaction rates of the competing channels 17 O(αγ) 21 Ne and 17 O(α,n) 20 Ne determines the efficiency of 16 O as a neutron poison in the s process in low metallicity rotating stars. It has a large impact on the element production, ei... Read More about 17O(α,γ)21Ne and17O(α, n)20Ne for the weak s process.

Quantification of priority-OR gates in temporal fault trees (2012)
Journal Article
Edifor, E., Walker, M., & Gordon, N. (2012). Quantification of priority-OR gates in temporal fault trees. Lecture notes in computer science, 7612 LNCS, 99-110. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-33678-2_9

Fault Tree Analysis has been used in reliability engineering for many decades and has seen various modifications to enable it to analyse fault trees with dynamic and temporal gates so it can incorporate sequential failure in its analysis. Pandora is... Read More about Quantification of priority-OR gates in temporal fault trees.

Describing and assessing image descriptions for visually impaired web users with IDAT (2012)
Journal Article
Brayshaw, M., Nganji, J. T., Brayshaw, M., & Tompsett, B. (2013). Describing and assessing image descriptions for visually impaired web users with IDAT. Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing, 179, 27-37. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-31603-6_3

People with visual impairments, particularly blind people face alot of difficulties browsing the web with assistive technologies such as screen readers, when websites do not conform to accessibility standards and are thus inaccessible. HTML is the ba... Read More about Describing and assessing image descriptions for visually impaired web users with IDAT.

Emotions in robots (2012)

The Architecture Analysis and Design Language (AADL) is gaining widespread acceptance in aerospace, automobile and avionics industries for designing dependability-critical systems. The design process of dependable systems must address both cost and d... Read More about System dependability modelling and analysis using AADL and HiP-HOPS.

A directionally tunable but frequency-invariant beamformer on an acoustic velocity-sensor triad to enhance speech perception (2012)
Journal Article
Wu, Y. I., Wong, K. T., Yuan, X., Lau, S. K., & Tang, S. K. (2012). A directionally tunable but frequency-invariant beamformer on an acoustic velocity-sensor triad to enhance speech perception. The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 131(5), 3891-3902. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.3701991

Herein investigated are computationally simple microphone-array beamformers that are independent of the frequency-spectra of all signals, all interference, and all noises. These beamformers allow the listener to tune the desired azimuth-elevation "lo...
