SuperVise: Using grid tools to simplify visualization (2004)
Conference Proceeding
Osborne, J., & Wright, H. (2004). SuperVise: Using grid tools to simplify visualization. In R. Wyrzykowski, J. Dongarra, M. Paprzycki, & J. Wasniewski (Eds.), Parallel Processing and Applied Mathematics; Lecture Notes in Computer Science (856-863). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-24669-5_111

The visualization process is complicated enough for visualization experts but more so for domain specialists. Problems include managing the transfer of large datasets and choosing appropriate techniques. When we consider performing these tasks in a m...

Least squares ellipsoid specific fitting (2004)
Conference Proceeding
Li, Q., & Griffiths, J. (2004). Least squares ellipsoid specific fitting. In Geometric Modeling and Processing, 2004. Proceedings (335 - 340). https://doi.org/10.1109/gmap.2004.1290055

In this paper, a sufficient condition for a quadric surface to be an ellipsoid has been developed and a closed-form solution for ellipsoid fitting is developed based on this constraint, which is a best fit to the given data amongst those ellipsoids w...

Implicit curve and surface design using smooth unit step functions (2004)
Conference Proceeding
Li, Q., & Phillips, R. (2004). Implicit curve and surface design using smooth unit step functions. In SM '04 Proceedings of the ninth ACM symposium on Solid modeling and applications (237 - 242)

This paper presents an implicit curve and surface design technique that uses smooth unit step functions. With the proposed method, an implicit curve or surface can be generated by inputting a sequence of points together with the normals at these poin...

Quantitative versus Qualitative Forecasting in Whisky Distilling (2004)
Conference Proceeding
Karagianni, C., & Grant, D. (2004). Quantitative versus Qualitative Forecasting in Whisky Distilling. In H. Aronsson (Ed.), Challenging Boundaries with Logistics - Proceedings of the XVIth Annual Conference for Nordic Researchers in Logistics, 373-390

Responsiveness and hypercompetition - Consequences for supply chain management (2003)
Conference Proceeding
Grant, D., Halldórsson, Á., Kotzab, H., & Teller, C. (2003). Responsiveness and hypercompetition - Consequences for supply chain management. In M. Christopher, & D. Jones (Eds.), European Institute for Advanced Studies in Management European Forum on Market-Driven Supply Chains

Formulated silhouettes for sketching terrain (2003)
Conference Proceeding
Whelan, J. C., & Visvalingam, M. (2003). Formulated silhouettes for sketching terrain. In Proceedings of Theory and Practice of Computer Graphics, 2003 (90-96). https://doi.org/10.1109/TPCG.2003.1206935

The mathematical definition of silhouettes within NPAR is based on the assumption that they are the eye-centered projections of occluding contours on an imaging plane. However, occluding contours are insufficient for sketching the silhouettes of hill... Read More about Formulated silhouettes for sketching terrain.

The placebo effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy - fact or fiction? (2001)
Conference Proceeding
Abidia, A., Kuhan, G., Laden, G., Bahia, H., Chetter, I., & McCollum, P. (2001). The placebo effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy - fact or fiction?.

BACKGROUND: Patients undergoing hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) frequently report improvement in their health status; however, it is debatable whether this is a true effect of HBO or a placebo. We aimed to investigate the placebo effect of receiving... Read More about The placebo effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy - fact or fiction?.

The risk of safety regulation changes in transport development projects (1997)
Conference Proceeding
Williams, T. M. (1997). The risk of safety regulation changes in transport development projects. In K. Kahkonen, & K. Artto (Eds.), Managing Risks in Projects (284-293). https://doi.org/10.4324/9780203860595

© 1997 Taylor & Francis. Changes to safety regulations forms a major risk to large projects. The effects are systemic, so difficult to quantify and usually under-estimated. As well as general lessons about the risk, this paper describes two transpo... Read More about The risk of safety regulation changes in transport development projects.

Stable linearization using multilayer neural networks (1996)
Conference Proceeding
Delgado, A., Kambhampati, C., & Warwick, K. (1996). Stable linearization using multilayer neural networks. . https://doi.org/10.1049/cp%3A19960551

The main limitation of linearization theory that prevents its application in practical problems is the need for an exact knowledge of the plant. This requirement is eliminated and it is shown that a multilayer network can synthesise the state feedbac... Read More about Stable linearization using multilayer neural networks.

Mathematica and finite geometry (1995)
Conference Proceeding
Gordon, N. (1995). Mathematica and finite geometry. In V. Keranen, & P. Mitic (Eds.), Mathematics With Vision: Proceedings of the First International Mathematica Symposium (159 - 166)

We describe the use of Mathematica in the investigation of some aspects of finite geometry, in particular we look at an example of finding a single polynomial function corresponding to a set of polynomial functions, and an example of finding the PGL(...

The relative order of a class of recurrent networks (1994)
Conference Proceeding
Manchanda, S., Kambhampati, C., Tham, M., & Green, G. (1994). The relative order of a class of recurrent networks. . https://doi.org/10.1049/cp%3A19940266

Three types of recurrent network configurations have been proposed since they enable adequate description of temporal behaviour. The concept of relative order has been introduced so as to provide a framework for analysing such network configurations.... Read More about The relative order of a class of recurrent networks.

Sustainable Palm Oil Supply Chains : Complexity, Custody and Contention
Conference Proceeding
Deutz, P., Jensen, P., & Whicker, L. Sustainable Palm Oil Supply Chains : Complexity, Custody and Contention.

Paper delivered at the 21st Logistics Research Network annual conference 2016, 7th-9th September 2016, Hull. Abstract Purpose: The sustainability of oil palm cultivation is highly contentious. Demand for the product is strong, albeit with the market... Read More about Sustainable Palm Oil Supply Chains : Complexity, Custody and Contention.

Economic growth and public debt
Conference Proceeding
Bhattarai, K. Economic growth and public debt.

Abstract There is a controversy in the literature about the economic contribution of public deficit. Keynesian economists generally argue that by spending more on goods and services and infrastructure possible budget deficit is helpful to create more...
