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..

Heat transfer between gas fluidized beds and immersed surfaces (1985)
Journal Article
Kubie, J. (1985). Heat transfer between gas fluidized beds and immersed surfaces. International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, 28(7), 1345-1353. https://doi.org/10.1016/0017-9310%2885%2990165-6

Various models of heat transfer between the emulsion phase of a gas fluidized bed and immersed surfaces are discussed. It is shown that certain features of these models, such as the contact resistance or a gas film between the surface and the solid p...

The application of gradient adaptive lattice filters to channel equalisation (1984)
Journal Article
Grant, P. M., & Rutter, M. (1984). The application of gradient adaptive lattice filters to channel equalisation. IEE proceedings. F, Communications, radar, and signal processing, 131(5), 473-479. https://doi.org/10.1049/ip-f-1%3A19840073

In this paper, the potential application of adaptive lattice equalisers based on gradient search adaptive algorithms, is examined. The assessment is based on simulations of equaliser performance in data communications systems which provides a compa...

Axisymmetric outflow from large vessels (1984)
Journal Article
Kubie, J. (1984). Axisymmetric outflow from large vessels. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part A, Power and process engineering, 198(5), 113-119. https://doi.org/10.1243/pime_proc_1984_198_016_02

A model of axisymmetric liquid outflow from large vessels is developed and is used to explain aspects of flow for self-venting and choked outlets. It is shown that for flows with self-venting outlets the model relates the liquid level to the flow. It... Read More about Axisymmetric outflow from large vessels.

An architecture and syntax for distributed databases (1984)
Journal Article

Recently, there has been a lot of work undertaken in the area of distributed databases. The architecture and syntax presented in this paper is a response to the very real need for the development of a unified approach to distributed databases. The de...

Three currently available concurrent language systems, Pascal‐Plus, occam and Edison, are used to implement a controller for a robot arm. The robot arm allows real parallelism of operation within the movements of the arm. The feasibility and restrict...
