Modelling impacts of climate change on arable crop diseases: progress, challenges and applications.
(2016-08-01)Combining climate change, crop growth and crop disease models to predict impacts of climate change on crop diseases can guide planning of climate change adaptation strategies to ensure future food security. This review ... -
Modelling impairment of evoked gamma range oscillations in schizophrenia
(2015-12-18)Abnormal oscillatory activity in schizophrenia has been found in a wide range of experimental paradigms [1]. For example, schizophrenic patients show reduced evoked gamma activity, which has been associated with negative ... -
Modelling length of stay and patient flows : Methodological case studies from the UK neonatal care services
(University of Hertfordshire, 2013-03-07)The number of babies needing neonatal care is increasing due mainly to technological and therapeutic advances. These advances have implied a decreasing neonatal mortality rate for low birth weight infants and also a falling ... -
Modelling length of stay and patient flows : methodological case studies from the UK neonatal care services
(2014-04-01)The number of babies needing neonatal care is increasing due mainly to technological and therapeutic advances. These advances have implied a decreasing neonatal mortality rate for low birth weight infants and also a falling ... -
Modelling lidar-relevant optical properties of complex mineral dust aerosols
(2011-09-01)We model lidar-relevant optical properties of mineral dust aerosols and compare the modelling results with optical properties derived from lidar measurements during the SAMUM field campaigns. The Discrete Dipole Approximation ... -
Modelling light scattering by absorbing smooth and slightly rough facetted particles
(2015-05)A method for approximating light scattering properties of strongly absorbing facetted particles which are large compared to the wavelength is presented. It consists in adding the approximated external diffraction and ... -
Modelling light scattering by rough particles and particulate layers using RTDF
(2013-06-20)Computations of light-scattering properties for non-axisymmetric particles based on exact methods like the T-matrix [1] and discrete dipole approximation (DDA) [2] have upper size parameter limits of applicability, depending ... -
Modelling of Electrical Appliance Signatures for Energy Disaggregation
(2021-03-20)The rapid development of technology in the electrical sector within the last 20 years has led to growing electric power needs through the increased number of electrical appliances and automation of tasks. In contrary, ... -
The modelling of feedback in star formation simulations
(2015-10-01)I review the current state of numerical simulations of stellar feedback in the context of star formation at scales ranging from the formation of individual stars to models of galaxy formation including cosmic reionisation. ... -
Modelling of light scattering by cirrus ice crystals using geometric optics combined with diffraction of facets
(University of Hertfordshire, 2005)A new 3D model of light scattering applicable to dielectric faceted objects is presented. The model combines Geometric Optics with diffraction on individual facets yet maintains the low computational expense of standard ... -
Modelling of the Spectral Energy Distribution of Fornax A : Leptonic and Hadronic Production of High Energy Emission from the Radio Lobes
(2015-02-01)We present new low-frequency observations of the nearby radio galaxy Fornax A at 154 MHz with the Murchison Widefield Array, microwave flux-density measurements obtained from WMAP and Planck data, and gamma-ray flux densities ... -
Modelling Performance : Generic formal processes in live digital performance
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2016-05-19)Most existing accounts of live performance concentrate on the specific features of individual works or on linking works according to commonly observed traits which allow their plausible inclusion in groups identified by ... -
Modelling productivity and resource use efficiency for grassland ecosystems in the UK
(2017-09-30)Estimating spatially resolved grassland productivity is essential for benchmarking the total UK productive potential to assess food, feed and fuel trade-offs in the context of whole systems analyses. Our objectives were ... -
Modelling protein interaction in CCS
(University of Hertfordshire, 1999)This is an account of the progress made to date in attempting to model proteins and their interaction as CCS agents under parallel composition. Some earlier work was done using CSP but that model ran into problems over ... -
Modelling real time systems functional requirements using existing data flow methods
(University of Hertfordshire, 1993)This report summarises the data flow models from existing real time systems development methodologies, and describes some of the problems with using them to define real-time system functional requirements. The motivation ... -
Modelling regional imbalances in English plebeian migration to late eighteenth-century London
(2018-08-01)Using a substantial set of vagrancy removal records for Middlesex (1777–86) giving details of the place of origin of some 11,500 individuals, and analysing these records using a five-variable gravity model of migration, ... -
Modelling risk of readmission with phase-type distribution and transition models
(2009)A patient with frequent past readmissions may have an increased risk of future readmission. The principal objective of this paper was to determine the risk of readmission, given individual patient's history of readmissions. ... -
Modelling seedling growth rates of 18 temperate arable weed species as a function of the environment and plant traits
(2004-06)Background and Aims: The early growth rate of seedlings in the exponential phase is an important ecophysiological trait in crop/weed competition models based on assessments of relative weed green area. An understanding of ... -
Modelling stigmergic gene transfer
(MIT Press, 2008)We consider an information-theoretic model studying the conditions when a separation between the dynamics of a ’proto-cell’ and its proto-symbolic representation becomes beneficial in terms of preserving the proto-cell’s ...
