Use of radar devices in road traffic surveys (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Colonna, P., Guaragnella, C., Ranieri, V., & Fonzone, A. (2007). Use of radar devices in road traffic surveys. In 4th SIIV International Congress "Advances in Transport Infrastructures and stakeholders expectations"

The Department of Roads and Transportation of Polytechnic University of Bari owns CW radar devices for road traffic surveys. The radars can be used to measure traffic volumes and vehicle lengths and speeds. Radar’s manual suggests to refer to measure... Read More about Use of radar devices in road traffic surveys.

Digital Artefact
Ridley-Ellis, D. (2007). Whack-a-stick discovery

This flash animation is a powerful simulation of the longitudinal vibration of a solid beam (the basic physics behind modern non-destructive methods of testing timber battens to measure stiffness and predict strength.

You can see the effect of str... Read More about Whack-a-stick discovery..

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...

Owning identity-one or many-do we have a choice? (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wigan, M. (2007). Owning identity-one or many-do we have a choice?. In K. Michael, & M. G. Michael (Eds.), From Dataveillance to Überveillance and the realpolitik of the transparent society (61-70)

The rapid growth of databases, biometrics, and RFID has led to an environment where identity-related technologies are approaching a critical mass as a potential means of controlling the population. The essential aspects of these diverse technical adv... Read More about Owning identity-one or many-do we have a choice?.

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....
