The operator's response to P2P service demand (2007)
Journal Article
Liotta, A., & Lin, L. (2007). The operator's response to P2P service demand. IEEE Communications Magazine, 45(7), 76-83. https://doi.org/10.1109/MCOM.2007.382664

Peer-to-peer (P2P) systems are in high demand for all sorts of tasks-video communication, resource sharing, and content retrieval, to mention a few. However, current P2P solutions are intrinsically incompatible with the IP multimedia subsystem (IMS),... Read More about The operator's response to P2P service demand.

Exponential stabilization of the inertia wheel pendulum using dynamic surface control (2007)
Journal Article
Qaiser, N., Iqbal, N., Hussain, A., & Qaiser, N. (2007). Exponential stabilization of the inertia wheel pendulum using dynamic surface control. Journal of Circuits, Systems, and Computers, 16(1), 81-92. https://doi.org/10.1142/S0218126607003514

This paper considers the stabilization problem of Inertia Wheel Pendulum, a widely studied benchmark nonlinear system. It is a classical example of a flat underactuated mechanical system, for which the design of control law becomes a challenging task...

A Parametric Evaluation of Multi-Webbed Composite Joists Based on EC5 (2007)
Journal Article
Bahadori-Jahromi, A., Kermani, A., Zhang, B., & Reid, D. (2007). A Parametric Evaluation of Multi-Webbed Composite Joists Based on EC5. Journal of the Institute of Wood Science, 17(6), 295-310. https://doi.org/10.1179/wsc.2007.17.6.295

The introduction of engineered beams offers long span, low cost and light weight joists in comparison to traditional solid timber sections. However, the vibration criteria in the design codes may significantly reduce the permissible span of the joist...

Exact minimization of large fixed polarity dual form of reed-muller functions (2007)
Journal Article
Yang, M., Xu, H., Wang, L. Y., Tong, J. R., & Almaini, A. E. A. (2007). Exact minimization of large fixed polarity dual form of reed-muller functions. Solid-State and Integrated Circuit Technology, 1931-1933. https://doi.org/10.1109/ICSICT.2006.306532

Dual form of Reed-Muller (DFRM) expansions are implemented in OX/XNOR logic, which are based on the features of coincidence operation and are known as fixed polarity Canonical OR-Coincidence (COC) expansions. An efficient minimization method is propo... Read More about Exact minimization of large fixed polarity dual form of reed-muller functions.

How do you decide when to repeat transport surveys? (2007)
Journal Article
Wigan, M., Smith, N., & Timmis, B. (2007). How do you decide when to repeat transport surveys?. Australasian Transport Research Forum, 1-23

Sustainable transport requires a perspective that extends beyond the present and beyond the transport system itself. To view sustainability properly requires more sophisticated models than we currently employ, and more data than we currently collect....

Modelling of a low temperature differential Stirling Engine. (2007)
Journal Article
Robson, A., Grassie, T., & Kubie, J. (2007). Modelling of a low temperature differential Stirling Engine. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science, 221, 927-943. https://doi.org/10.1243/09544062JMES631

Abstract: A full theoretical model of a low temperature difference Stirling engine is developed in this paper. The model, which starts from the first principles, gives a full differential description of the major components of the engine: the behav...

The impact of the congestion charge on the retail business in London: An econometric analysis. (2007)
Journal Article
Quddus, M. A., Bell, M. G. H., Schmoecker, J., & Fonzone, A. (2007). The impact of the congestion charge on the retail business in London: An econometric analysis. Transport Policy, 14, 433-444. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tranpol.2007.04.008

On 17 February 2003, London introduced a pioneering congestion-charging scheme. The impact on traffic was sudden and dramatic. For example, car movements within the congestion-charging zone (21km2) were reduced by about 30%. However, the impact on ot...

Mass customisation through personalised brochures: the role of digital printing. (2007)
Journal Article
Migas, N., Anastasiadou, C., & Buchanan, W. J. (2007). Mass customisation through personalised brochures: the role of digital printing. Information Systems,

This paper argues that despite the wide adoption of Internet technologies in destination marketing, information is still disseminated through printed brochures that have largely remained unchanged and unaffected by the trend towards greater personali...

The innovator's social network. (2007)
Journal Article
Lewrick, M., Raeside, R., & Peisl, T. (2007). The innovator's social network. Journal of technology management & innovation, 2, 38-48

The concept of innovation has evolved significantly over the last decade. It now appears that inherent successful innovation can be explained by the influence of the social networks and social capital. Originally based on tangible forms of capital an...

Demographic and Labour Market Change: The Dynamics of Older Workers in the Scottish Labour Market (2007)
Journal Article
Hollywood, E., Brown, R., Danson, M., & McQuaid, R. W. (2007). Demographic and Labour Market Change: The Dynamics of Older Workers in the Scottish Labour Market. Scottish Geographical Journal, 123(4), 242-256. https://doi.org/10.1080/14702540802189677

This paper presents a review of ageing in the Scottish labour market. Scotland's population structure has been ageing for some decades leading to an ageing of the working population, at a rate ahead of many countries in Europe. Low levels of fertilit...
