Public private partnerships in the European Union - the cases of the UK, Germany and Austria (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McQuaid, R. W., & Scherrer, W. (2008). Public private partnerships in the European Union - the cases of the UK, Germany and Austria.

Across the European Union the use of different forms of Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) have been growing, but in different ways and for different reasons across Member States. This paper considers experiences and motivations in three contrasting... Read More about Public private partnerships in the European Union - the cases of the UK, Germany and Austria.

Computation of electromagnetic fields in dense biological cell structures using modified subgridding of quasi-static FDTD method (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
See, C., Abd-Alhameed, R., & Excell, P. (2008). Computation of electromagnetic fields in dense biological cell structures using modified subgridding of quasi-static FDTD method. In IET 7th International Conference on Computation in Electromagnetics (CEM

This paper demonstrates the detailed electromagnetic modelling of biological cell structures by using modified subgridding FDTD techniques. This is done by incorporating a quasi-static FDTD solution, Floquet periodic boundary conditions and modified...

A new data, document and geospatial repository: knowledge base and project support for a major international railway project. (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wigan, M., Kukla, R., Benjamins, M., & Grashoff, P. (2008, April). A new data, document and geospatial repository: knowledge base and project support for a major international railway project. Poster presented at Third International Conference on Open Rep

The simplicity of the basic design has proved to be robust to the changing and varied needs of different ?clients?, but the complexity of the intellectual property issues engendered by the mix of commercial, open source and hand rolled software has p...

Wireless sensor transmission range measurement within the ground level (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
See, C., Abd-Alhameed, R., Hu, Y., & Horoshenkov, K. (2008). Wireless sensor transmission range measurement within the ground level. In 2008 Loughborough Antennas and Propagation Conference (225-228). https://doi.org/10.1109/lapc.2008.4516907

The maximum transmission range of crossbow wireless sensors are considered and discussed for sensor to sensor on ground level communication, and sensor on ground level to base station on lamppost. Two different crossbow wireless sensors kits operated... Read More about Wireless sensor transmission range measurement within the ground level.

Microscopic Biological Cell Level Model Using Modified Finite-difference Time-domain at Mobile Radio Frequencies (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
See, C. H., Abd-Alhameed, R. A., Excell, P. S., & Zhou, D. (2008). Microscopic Biological Cell Level Model Using Modified Finite-difference Time-domain at Mobile Radio Frequencies.

The paper demonstrates the modelling of the interaction mechanism between the biological tissues and electromagnetic field at mobile communication frequency ranges. The implementing of modified FDTD numerical method using frequency scaled FDTD with F...

Geomechanics and Long-Term Landfill Settlement (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McDougall, J. (2008). Geomechanics and Long-Term Landfill Settlement. In GeoCongress 2008: Geotechnics of Waste Management and Remediation Proceedings of sessions of GeoCongress 2008 (482-490). https://doi.org/10.1061/40970%28309%2924

Long term landfill settlement is commonly attributed to two phenomena: creep and biodegradation. Biodegradation, which may contribute the greater proportion of long‐term settlement, is a function of a range of factors, many of which are not easily as...

Knowledge Processing for Web Search – An Integrated Model and Experiments (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gurský, P., Horvath, T., Jirásek, J., Novotny, R., Pribolová, J., Vaneková, V., & Vojtáš, P. Knowledge Processing for Web Search – An Integrated Model and Experiments. Presented at Symposium on Intelligent and Distributed Computing IDC, Craiova, R

We propose a model of a middleware system enabling personalized web search for users with different preferences. We integrate both inductive and deductive tasks to find user preferences and consequently best objects. The model is based on modeling p...

A Small Scale Fading Model with Sectored and Three Dimensional Diffuse Scattering (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Karadimas, P., Vagenas, E. D., & Kotsopoulos, S. A. (2008). A Small Scale Fading Model with Sectored and Three Dimensional Diffuse Scattering. In 2008 5th IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference (943-947). https://doi.org/10.1109/ccnc08.20

In frequency non-selective fading channels the multipath components can arrive at the mobile receiver via a three dimensional (3-D) scattering mechanism. That case occurs especially in urban environments, in which the tall buildings and other obstacl... Read More about A Small Scale Fading Model with Sectored and Three Dimensional Diffuse Scattering.
