Modelling changes in organisations for a complex world
(University of Hertfordshire, 1995)In this paper we discuss how to model the dynamic restructuring of a complex organisation and its information flows to ensure that the organisation continues to function despite fundamental changes taking place. Changes ... -
Modelling Computational Fluid Dynamics with Swarm Behaviour
(International Building Performance Association (IBPSA), 2018-09-11)The paper looks at replacing the current top-down approach to modelling, predominantly used in dynamic simulation tools, with a nature inspired bottom-up approach based on principles of swarming. Computational fluid dynamics ... -
Modelling diffraction by facetted particles
(2012-01-23)A method to approximate azimuthally resolved light scattering patterns and phase functions due to diffraction and external reflection by strongly absorbing facetted particles is demonstrated for a cube and compared with ... -
Modelling diffraction during ray-tracing using the concept of energy flow lines
(2008)The ray tracing with diffraction on facets (RTDF) model is suitable for rapid computation of scattering on faceted dielectric objects such as ice crystals. It combines ray tracing with diffraction on flat facets. The model ... -
Modelling Experiential Knowledge for Research
(Helsinki: University of Art and Design (UIAH), 2007)This paper addresses an issue in art and design research. The art and design community is not homogeneous, and there are artists who feel that research in art is very different from research in design, and deserves to be ... -
Modelling human memory in robotic companions for personalisation and long-term adaptation in HRI
(IOS Press, 2010)This paper investigates issues of robot's personalization and long-term adaptation in human-robot interaction (HRI). It demonstrates the design and first technical implementation of a HRI showcase in the Robot House at ... -
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
(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 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 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 ...
