A new design of circularly-polarised conical-beam microstrip patch antennas using a genetic algorithm (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
See, C., Abd-Alhameed, R., Zhou, D., Excell, P., & Hu, Y. (2006, November). A new design of circularly-polarised conical-beam microstrip patch antennas using a genetic algorithm. Presented at 2006 First European Conference on Antennas and Propagation, Nice, France

Two circularly-polarised conical beam air-dielectric microstrip patch antennas for short-range low-power Wireless Sensor Network application were designed using genetic algorithms. They were achieved using two slots or a shorting wall, both designs i... Read More about A new design of circularly-polarised conical-beam microstrip patch antennas using a genetic algorithm.

Energy efficiency improvements through sunspace augmented positive input ventilation of buildings. (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Currie, J., Capper, G., & Holmes, J. (2006). Energy efficiency improvements through sunspace augmented positive input ventilation of buildings.

Positive input ventilation (PIV) systems were installed in a new build housing development in Ballantrae in south west Scotland; utilising a glazed sunspace on the south elevation of each dwelling to augment the energy saving potential of the install...

Developing steady clicks:: a method of cursor assistance for people with motor impairments (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Trewin, S., Keates, S., & Moffatt, K. (2006, October). Developing steady clicks:: a method of cursor assistance for people with motor impairments. Presented at ASSETS 06 The 8th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility, Portland, OR, USA

Slipping while clicking and accidental clicks are a source of errors for mouse users with motor impairments. The Steady Clicks assistance feature suppresses these errors by freezing the cursor during mouse clicks, preventing overlapping button presse...

Modelling environmental variation in Young’s modulus for Pinus radiata and implications for determination of critical buckling height. (2006)
Journal Article
Watt, M. S., Moore, J. R., Facon, J., Downes, G. M., Clinton, P. W., Coker, G., …Bown, H. E. (2006). Modelling environmental variation in Young’s modulus for Pinus radiata and implications for determination of critical buckling height. Annals of Botany, 98, 765-775. https://doi.org/10.1093/aob/mcl161

Background and Aims: Although density-specific stiffness, E/, (where E is Young's modulus and is wood density) is often assumed constant by the elastic similarity model, and in determination of critical buckling height (Hcrit), few studies have test...

PN code acquisition with a CA-CFAR adaptive digital matched filter and its realisation using FPGA. (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wie, B., Sharif, M., Almaini, A. E. A., & Binnie, D. (2006, September). PN code acquisition with a CA-CFAR adaptive digital matched filter and its realisation using FPGA. Presented at Proceedings of IEEE 13th International Conference on Systems, Signals & Image Processing, IWSSIP’06,

In this paper the performance of a Cell Averaging Constant False Alarm Rate (CA-CFAR) Pseudo-Noise (PN) code adaptive detector is analysed for a single path communication channel. The detection process uses a digital Matched Filter (MF) and is implem... Read More about PN code acquisition with a CA-CFAR adaptive digital matched filter and its realisation using FPGA..
