A computer vision approach to classification of birds in flight from video sequences
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Atanbori, J., Duan, W., Murray, J., Appiah, K., & Dickinson, P. (2015, September). A computer vision approach to classification of birds in flight from video sequences. Presented at Machine Vision of Animals and their Behaviour Workshop 2015, Swansea, UK

Bird populations are an important bio-indicator, ; so collecting reliable data is useful for ecologists helping conserve and manage fragile ecosystems. However, existing manual monitoring methods are labour-intensive, time-consuming, and error-prone....

Chua mem-components for adaptive RF metamaterials
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Georgiou, J., Kossifos, K. M., Antoniades, M. A., Jaafar, A., & Kemp, N. T. (2018, May). Chua mem-components for adaptive RF metamaterials. Presented at 2018 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS)

Chua's mem-components are ideal for creating adaptive metasurfaces for manipulating EM waves given that they hold their state without external biases. In this paper, we propose a generic adaptive reactive element that is in fact a memcapacitor/memind... Read More about Chua mem-components for adaptive RF metamaterials.

Interaction between colloidal particles on an oil-water interface in dilute and dense phases
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Parolini, L., Law, A. D., Maestro, A., Buzza, D. M. A., & Cicuta, P. Interaction between colloidal particles on an oil-water interface in dilute and dense phases

The interaction between micron-sized charged colloidal particles at polar/non-polar liquid
interfaces remains surprisingly poorly understood for a relatively simple physical chemistry
system. By measuring the pair correlation function g(r) for differ... Read More about Interaction between colloidal particles on an oil-water interface in dilute and dense phases.

A continuous updating rule for imprecise probabilities
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cattaneo, M. E. G. V. (2014, July). A continuous updating rule for imprecise probabilities. Presented at 15th International Conference on Information Processing and Management of Uncertainty in Knowledge-Based Systems (IPMU 2014), Montpellier, France

The paper studies the continuity of rules for updating imprecise probability models when new data are observed. Discontinuities can lead to robustness issues: this is the case for the usual updating rules of the theory of imprecise probabilities. An...

Size exclusion chromatography and rheology of AB/AB2 hyperbranched polymers
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kunamaneni, S., Buzza, D. M. A., Parker, D., & Feast, W. J. Size exclusion chromatography and rheology of AB/AB2 hyperbranched polymers

We report size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and linear shear rheology results for a series of AB/AB2 hyperbranched polyesters. For these samples, the weight average molecular weight Mw was systematically varied from 3000 to 250000 but the spacer le...

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.
