Algebraic hierarchical decomposition of finite state automata : a computational approach
(University of Hertfordshire, 2005)
The theory of algebraic hierarchical decomposition of finite state automata
is an important and well developed branch of theoretical computer science
(Krohn-Rhodes Theory). Beyond this it gives a general model for ...
Endothelial cell apoptosis
(University of Hertfordshire, 2005)
Endothelial cell apoptosis is an important process during vasculature remodelling,
angiogenesis and inflammation. Medical interest in endothelial cell apoptosis as a
target for arthritis and solid tumour treatment has ...
Bioaerosol detection through simultaneous measurement of particle intrinsic fluorescence and spatial light scattering
(University of Hertfordshire, 2005)

The Laplace transform boundary element method for diffusion-type problems
(University of Hertfordshire, 2005)
Diffusion-type problems are described by parabolic partial differential
equations; they are defined on a domain involving both time and space. The
usual method of solution is to use a finite difference time-stepping ...
A methodology for the assessment of air quality in London and Bangkok
(University of Hertfordshire, 2005)
Road transport has a major effect on the air quality in London and Bangkok. As an aid
to decision making to control and manage air pollution, air quality models are useful
tools and are now applied worldwide. This research ...
