Explicit design formulas for current-mode leap-frog OTA-C filters and 300 MHz CMOS seventh-order linear phase filter
(2010)The leap-frog (LF) configuration is an important structure in analogue filter design. Voltage-mode LF OTA-C filters have recently been studied in the literature; however, general explicit formulas do not exist for current-mode ... -
A Novel Algebraic Carrier Frequency Offset Estimator for ASTC-MIMO-OFDM Systems Over a Correlated Frequency-Selective Channel
(2012-07)This paper presents a new algebraic carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation technique for multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) system, to overcome the sensitivity of ... -
A New Neural-Network-Based Fault Diagnosis Approach for Analog Circuits by Using Kurtosis and Entropy as a Preprocessor
(2010-03)This paper presents a new fault diagnosis method for analog circuits. The proposed method extracts the original signals from the output terminals of the circuits under test (CUTs) by a data acquisition board and finds the ... -
The application of discriminant analysis and Machine Learning methods as tools to identify and classify compounds with potential as transdermal enhancers
(2012-01-23)Discriminant analysis (DA) has previously been shown to allow the proposal of simple guidelines for the classification of 73 chemical enhancers of percutaneous absorption. Pugh et al. employed DA to classify such enhancers ... -
Using pre and post-processing methods to improve binding site predictions
(2009)Currently the best algorithms for transcription factor binding site prediction within sequences of regulatory DNA are severely limited in accuracy. In this paper, we integrate 12 original binding site prediction algorithms, ... -
3-D Integration of Robot Vision and Laser Data With Semiautomatic Calibration in Augmented Reality Stereoscopic Visual Interface
(2012-02)This paper proposes an augmented reality visualization interface to simultaneously present visual and laser sensors information further enhanced by stereoscopic viewing and 3-D graphics. The use of graphic elements is ... -
Engineering Concurrent Software Guided by Statistical Performance Analysis
(IOS Press, 2011)This paper introduces the ADVANCE approach to engineering concurrent systems using a new component-based approach. A cost-directed tool-chain maps concurrent programs onto emerging hardware architectures, where costs are ... -
Experimental study of an energy efficient hybrid system for surface drying
(2011-04)Rapid surface drying is an important and energy intensive process in food and beverage packaging industry. Usually these products are dried at low dew-point temperatures (DPT) −10 to −20 °C and low dry ball temperatures ... -
OCR-based neural network for ANPR
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2012)Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is the last stage in an Automatic Number Plate Recognition System (ANPRs). In this stage the number plate characters on the number plate image are converted into encoded texts. In this ... -
Non proportional random effects modelling of a neonatal unit operational patient pathways
(2011)Modelling patient flow in health care systems is considered to be vital in understanding the operational and clinical functions of the system and may therefore prove to be useful in improving the functionality of the health ... -
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. ... -
Capturing the readmission process : the focus on the time window
(2011)In the majority of studies on patient re-admissions, a re-admission is deemed to have occurred if a patient is admitted within a time window of the previous discharge date. However, these time windows have rarely been ... -
Profiling hospitals based on emergency readmission: A multilevel transition modelling approach
(2012-11)Emergency readmission is seen as an important part of the United Kingdom government policy to improve the quality of care that patients receive. In this context, patients and the public have the right to know how well ... -
Colour
(Manchester University Press, 2010)Peacock’s text ‘Colour’ is a rare example of writing exclusively about style in film. The book is the first monograph that examines close criticism of film colour, expanding across several decades and countries. It provides ... -
Hollywood and intimacy : Style, moments, magnificence
(Palgrave Macmillan, 2012)Peacock’s text conveys a critical examination of close relationships in the movies of modern America. It explores in detail the contemporary Hollywood films that in differing ways identify aspects of intimacy. Some examples ... -

Romanticism, Medicine and the Natural Supernatural : Transcendent Vision and Bodily Spectres, 1789-1852
(Palgrave Macmillan, 2013)"Romanticism, Medicine and the Natural Supernatural" explores the relationship between the Romantic preoccupation with visionary kinds of experience and early nineteenth-century medical theories of hallucination and the ... -
Charity and Poverty in England, c.1680-1820 : Wild and Visionary Schemes
(Manchester University Press, 2009-11-30)This book explores responses to poverty in eighteenth-century England, with an eye to some of the odder manifestations of charity and poor relief. Whether discussing proposals for vast inland colonies or cosy firesides, ...
