A language for failure patterns and application in safety analysis (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wolforth, I., Walker, M., & Papadopoulos, Y. A language for failure patterns and application in safety analysis. Presented at 2008 Third International Conference on Dependability of Computer Systems DepCoS-RELCOMEX

Components and families of components in mechatronic systems often exhibit failure characteristics that are independent of system context and repeatable across applications. In this paper, we show that it is possible to capture and reuse such pattern... Read More about A language for failure patterns and application in safety analysis.

Semi automatic failure analysis based on simulation models (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hamann, R., Uhlig, A., Papadopoulos, Y., Rüde, E., Grätz, U., Walker, M., & Lien, R. (2018, June). Semi automatic failure analysis based on simulation models. Presented at Volume 2: Structures, Safety and Reliability

Classical risk assessment and risk management which is gaining importance in many industries is usually based on well defined processes and uses techniques like FTA and FMEA. However, classical risk analysis techniques like FTA and FMEA should ideall... Read More about Semi automatic failure analysis based on simulation models.

Improving service and sustainability in retail supply chains (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Grant, D. B., Fernie, J., Tautrims, A., & El-Adas, R. Improving service and sustainability in retail supply chains. Presented at 13th International Symposium on Logistics (ISL) 2008

Purpose: On-shelf availability and its impact on retail customer service and profitability has concerned retailers for many years. Further, globalisation of retail supply chains has meant increased logistics costs, particularly in transportation, and...

Improving the bottom line: Moving towards a transport capability maturity model (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Holter, A., Millar Ritchie, J., Shaw, W. N., & Grant, D. (2008, September). Improving the bottom line: Moving towards a transport capability maturity model. Presented at Logistics Research Network Annual Conference 2008, Liverpool, United Kingdom

Transport is often considered a service that can easily be purchased and obtained without further complications. However, managing and purchasing transport is a complex process. A five step transport purchasing capability maturity model is proposed w... Read More about Improving the bottom line: Moving towards a transport capability maturity model.

Spiking neurons: Is coincidence-factor enough for comparing responses with fluctuating membrane voltage? (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sarangdhar, M., & Kambhampati, C. Spiking neurons: Is coincidence-factor enough for comparing responses with fluctuating membrane voltage?

Similarity between two spike trains is generally estimated using a ‘coincidence factor’. This factor relies on counting coincidences of firing-times for spikes in a given time window. However, in cases where there are significant fluctuations in memb... Read More about Spiking neurons: Is coincidence-factor enough for comparing responses with fluctuating membrane voltage?.

Non-coherent modelling in compositional fault tree analysis (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sharvia, S., & Papadopoulos, Y. I. Non-coherent modelling in compositional fault tree analysis

The inclusion of NOT gates in a fault tree creates a 'non-coherent' structure in which not only the failure of a component but also the negation of failure, i.e. the working state of the component, can contribute to the undesirable effects on a syste...

Simulation and static measurement of the gas volume fraction in a separated flow model using a conductance multiphase Venturi meter (CMVM) (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hasan, A., & Lucas, G. (2008, November). Simulation and static measurement of the gas volume fraction in a separated flow model using a conductance multiphase Venturi meter (CMVM). Presented at Proceedings of the Computing and Engineering Annual Researchers’ Conference, Huddersfield, UK

The assumption of equal mixture densities at the inlet and the throat of the Venturi is only valid in a homogenous flow. This assumption is no longer valid for a separated flow and therefore, the measurement of the gas volume fraction at the throat m...

Conflict and collaboration: Britain and Sultan Ibrahim of Johore (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Smith, S. C. Conflict and collaboration: Britain and Sultan Ibrahim of Johore

The establishment of workable collaborative relations with indigenous elites formed a vital part of the maintenance of the British Empire. This was especially so in the Malay States, where the Malay rulers enjoyed considerable local prestige as relig... Read More about Conflict and collaboration: Britain and Sultan Ibrahim of Johore.

The disengage deficit in hemispatial neglect is restricted to between-object shifts and is abolished by prism adaptation (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Schindler, I., McIntosh, R. D., Cassidy, T. P., Birchall, D., Benson, V., Ietswaart, M., & Milner, A. D. The disengage deficit in hemispatial neglect is restricted to between-object shifts and is abolished by prism adaptation

We sought to determine the effects of prism adaptation on peripherally cued visual attention shifting in patients with spatial neglect, using a task devised by Egly et al. (J Exp Psychol Gen 123:161-177, 1994) based on the classic Posner paradigm. Th...

Interspecific activity of the sex pheromone of the European shore crab (Carcinus maenas) (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bublitz, R., Sainte-Marie, B., Newcomb-Hodgetts, C., Fletcher, N., Smith, M., & Hardege, J. Interspecific activity of the sex pheromone of the European shore crab (Carcinus maenas)

The recent identification of uridine diphosphate (UDP) as the female sex-pheromone in the European shore crab Carcinus maenas demonstrated not only the link between moult and pheromone production, but also how it may have evolved from a 'simple' meta...

Development of behavioural and physiological assays to assess discrimination of male and female odours in crayfish, Pacifastacus leniusculus (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Berry, F. C., & Breithaupt, T. Development of behavioural and physiological assays to assess discrimination of male and female odours in crayfish, Pacifastacus leniusculus

Many aquatic organisms use chemical signals to coordinate courtship. However, relatively few water-borne pheromones have been identified. A key obstacle hindering progress in the purification of crustacean pheromones has been the development of relia...

Fighting behaviour and the role of urinary signals in dominance assessment of Norway lobsters, Nephrops norvegicus (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Breithaupt, T., Johnson, M., & Katoh, E. Fighting behaviour and the role of urinary signals in dominance assessment of Norway lobsters, Nephrops norvegicus

Norway lobsters, Nephrops norvegicus, live on the bottom of the continental shelf where they construct and defend burrows. Little is known about their agonistic behaviour and potential mechanisms of dominance. This paper investigates fighting behavio...
