Beam steering of horizontally polarized circular antenna arrays (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Abusitta, M. M., Dama, Y., Abd-Alhameed, R. A., See, C., Noras, J., Adebola, A., & Excell, P. (2011). Beam steering of horizontally polarized circular antenna arrays. . https://doi.org/10.1109/lapc.2011.6114126

In this paper, a simple switching process is employed to steer the beam of a horizontally polarised circular antenna array. A time modulated switching process is applied through Genetic Algorithm optimisation. Several examples illustrate the radiatio...

The directional development of intermodal freight corridors in relation to inland terminals (2011)
Journal Article
Wilmsmeier, G., Monios, J., & Lambert, B. (2011). The directional development of intermodal freight corridors in relation to inland terminals. Journal of Transport Geography, 19, 1379-1386. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtrangeo.2011.07.010

This paper examines the spatial development of freight infrastructure, developing a conceptual model that draws attention to the directional development of intermodal corridors in relation to inland terminals. Two concepts of vertical control of the... Read More about The directional development of intermodal freight corridors in relation to inland terminals.

Why is it so dark in here? Perception of Brightness at Low Light Levels in Museum Environments. (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Innes, M. (2011). Why is it so dark in here? Perception of Brightness at Low Light Levels in Museum Environments.

Many museum and gallery exhibits are fragile objects that would not survive repeated handling. Even where this is not the case, it is generally frowned upon for visitors to touch exhibits. As a result, vision is by far the most important sense for mu... Read More about Why is it so dark in here? Perception of Brightness at Low Light Levels in Museum Environments..
