Optimising a Neural Tree Using Subtree Retraining
(2004)Subtree retraining applied to a Stochastic Competitive Evolutionary Neural Tree model (SCENT) is introduced. This subtree retraining process is designed to improve the performance of the original model which provides a ... -
Optimising Cooperative Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio Networks Using Interference Alignment and Space-Time Coding
(2018-03-04)In this thesis, the process of optimizing Cooperative Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio has been investigated in fast-fading environments where simulation results have shown that its performance is limited by the Probability ... -
Optimising fungicide timing for controlling light leaf spot (Pyrenopeziza brassicae) on winter oilseed rape in the UK
(Association of Applied Biologists, 1999) -
Optimising poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) microparticle fabrication using a Taguchi orthogonal array design-of-experiment approach
(2019-09-26)The objective of this study was to identify, understand and generate a Taguchi orthogonal array model for the formation of 10–50 μm microparticles with applications in topical/ocular controlled drug delivery. Poly(lactic ... -
Optimising the use of fungicides to control stem canker of oilseed rape
(1999)Ascospores of Leptosphaeria maculans infect leaves of oilseed rape to cause leaf spots, from which the fungus can grow to infect the stem. Yield losses due to early senescence and lodging result if the stem infections reach ... -
Optimization and automatic differentiation in Ada : some practical experience
(1994)This paper describes an investigation into the performance of three Ada packages for automatic differentiation. Two of these implement the forward accumulation approach while the third employs reverse accumulation. Each ... -
Optimization of 3D ZnO brush-like nanorods for dye-sensitized solar cells
(2018-03-09)In a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) the amount of adsorbed dye on the photoanode surface is a key factor that must be maximized in order to obtain enhanced DSSC performance. In this study 3D ZnO nanostructures, named ... -
Optimization of airflow organization in fan-wall data center via baffles
(2024-02-16)The utilization of natural fresh air for cooling server rooms in fan-wall data centers effectively reduces the operational duration of air conditioning, resulting in enhanced energy efficiency. Nonetheless, there are few ... -
The Optimization of Combined Power-Power Generation Cycles
(University of Hertfordshire, 2015-02-02)An investigation into the performance of several combined gas-steam power generating plants’ cycles was undertaken at the School of Engineering and Technology at the University of Hertfordshire and it is predominantly ... -
Optimization of diffuser/nozzle elements for rectification valveless micropumps
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2011)There has been a growing interest in understanding the flow behaviour inside diffuser/nozzle elements in order to identify performance characteristics of these elements for micropump applications. Flat-walled diffuser/nozzle ... -
Optimization of lidar data processing : a goal of the EARILINET-ASOS project
(SPIE, 2007)EARLINET-ASOS (European Aerosol Research Lidar Network - Advanced Sustainable Observation System) is a 5-year EC Project started in 2006. Based on the EARLINET infrastructure, it will provide appropriate tools to improve ... -
Optimization of Neuronal Morphologies for Pattern Recognition
(2012-05-29)This thesis addresses the problem of how the dendritic structure and other morphological properties of the neuron can determine its pattern recognition performance. The techniques used in this work for generating dendritic ... -
Optimization of Nonambulant Mass Casualty Decontamination Protocols as Part of an Initial or Specialist Operational Response to Chemical Incidents
(2019-01-02)Objective: The UK's Initial Operational Response (IOR) is a new process for improving the survival of multiple casualties following a chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear incident. Whilst the introduction of IOR ... -
Optimization of protein loaded PLGA nanoparticles manufacturing parameters following a quality-by-design approach
(2016-10-26)Development of a multivariate-based regression model for estimating the critical attributes for establishing a design-space for poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles formulated by a double emulsion-solvent ... -
