A vapour phase preservative treatment of manufactured wood based board materials (1989)
Journal Article
Murphy, R. J., & Turner, P. (1989). A vapour phase preservative treatment of manufactured wood based board materials. Wood science and technology, 23(3), 273-279. https://doi.org/10.1007/bf00367740

The preservative treatment of four different wood based board materials using an esterified borate applied in the vapour phase was investigated. Under optimum conditions complete impregnation via the board faces was achieved in all boards treated. Bo...

Simulating microprocessor systems using occam and a network of transputers (1989)
Journal Article
Gorton, I., Kerridge, J., & Jervis, B. (1989). Simulating microprocessor systems using occam and a network of transputers. IEE proceedings. Part E, Computers and digital techniques, 136(1), 22-28. https://doi.org/10.1049/ip-e.1989.0004

The simulation at component level of microprocessor systems provides a precise technique for evaluating the design of a system with regards to its requirements specification. The paper describes the use of occam to simulate individual microprocessor... Read More about Simulating microprocessor systems using occam and a network of transputers.

Design, abstract data types and occam (1989)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerridge, J., Wright, S., & Oates, R. (1989). Design, abstract data types and occam. In Applying Transputer Based Parallel Machines: OUG-10, proceedings of the 10th Occam User Group Technical Meeting (29-45)

A design methodology is presented whereby abstract data types are mapped onto occam processes. For each function a command and reply protocol is specified. Attention is paid to the formal specification. The method may be useful in obtaining a paralle... Read More about Design, abstract data types and occam.

Influence of containing walls on the distribution of voidage in packed beds of uniform spheres (1988)
Journal Article
Kubie, J. (1988). Influence of containing walls on the distribution of voidage in packed beds of uniform spheres. Chemical Engineering Science, 43(6), 1403-1405. https://doi.org/10.1016/0009-2509%2888%2985113-3

The distribution of voidage in the wall regions of randomly packed beds of uniform spheres is investigated. A general equation relating the local voidage to the distribution of the spheres is derived and is combined with some simple observations abou...

Steady-state conduction in stagnant beds of solid particles (1987)
Journal Article
Kubie, J. (1987). Steady-state conduction in stagnant beds of solid particles. International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, 30(5), 937-947. https://doi.org/10.1016/0017-9310%2887%2990012-3

A model is developed for predicting the influence of the containing walls on heat transfer processes in stagnant beds of solid particles. The model describes the effect of the walls on the mean voidage of the bed and on the mean effective thermal con... Read More about Steady-state conduction in stagnant beds of solid particles.

Towards a Tool Kit For the Systems Analyst (1987)
Journal Article
Benyon, D., & Skidmore, S. (1987). Towards a Tool Kit For the Systems Analyst. Computer Journal, 30(1), 2-7. https://doi.org/10.1093/comjnl/30.1.2

A review of the major systems analysis methodologies is undertaken in order to examine the aspects of information systems (IS) which they seem best able to represent. The importance of a collection of techniques – the analyst's tool kit – is stressed... Read More about Towards a Tool Kit For the Systems Analyst.

Communicating parallel processes (1986)
Journal Article
Kerridge, J., & Simpson, D. (1986). Communicating parallel processes. Software: Practice and Experience, 16(1), 63-86. https://doi.org/10.1002/spe.4380160106

By considering the problem of an event timer it is shown that the commonly available synchronizing facilities (monitors, CSP, distributed processes) are not able to always satisfactorily model the requirements of several processes which must run in p...

Timed gradient adaptive lattice equaliser. (1985)
Journal Article
Rutter, M., & Grant, P. M. (1985). Timed gradient adaptive lattice equaliser. IEE proceedings. F, Communications, radar, and signal processing, 132, 181-186. https://doi.org/10.1049/ip-f-1%3A19850040

The paper addresses the design of timed stochastic gradient-search adaptive lattice filters for applications in channel equalisation. Timing the lattice, i.e. freezing the PARCOR recursion, has previously been shown to offer a significant reduction... Read More about Timed gradient adaptive lattice equaliser..
