Parallel processing techniques in EMP propagation using 3D finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. (1993)
Journal Article
Buchanan, W. J., & Gupta, N. K. (1993). Parallel processing techniques in EMP propagation using 3D finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. Advances in engineering software, 18(3), 149-159. https://doi.org/10.1016/0965-9978%2893%2990062-X

The authors have applied the 3D FDTD technique to simulate the propagation of electrical signals on a microstrip antenna using a four-transputer array connected to a 386-based PC. This relates to work currently being carried out into the propagation... Read More about Parallel processing techniques in EMP propagation using 3D finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method..

An Appreciation of the Subtleties of Shared Channels in occam3 (1993)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Waithe, S., & Kerridge, J. (1993, March). An Appreciation of the Subtleties of Shared Channels in occam3. Presented at 16th World occam* and Transputer User Group Technical Meeting (WoTUG-16), Sheffield, UK

By exploiting virtual channels implemented on the INMOS T9000 transputer, occam3 offers the facility of sharing. This allows us to declare a channel as SHARED which then allows an arbitrary number of processes to communicate across this channel. By m...

Rheological spectroscopy of concentrated colloidal dispersions (1993)
Journal Article
Williams, P., Williams, D., & Williams, R. (1993). Rheological spectroscopy of concentrated colloidal dispersions. Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects, 77(1), 75-79. https://doi.org/10.1016/0927-7757%2893%2980101-j

A new instrument, the virtual gap rheometer (VGR) for the determination of dynamic shear moduli (and mechanical relaxation spectra therefrom) at frequencies above 100 Hz is described. Several features of the VGR which make it particularly suited to t... Read More about Rheological spectroscopy of concentrated colloidal dispersions.

Applying user modeling to human-computer interaction design (1993)
Journal Article
Benyon, D., & Murray, D. (1993). Applying user modeling to human-computer interaction design. Artificial Intelligence Review, 7(3-4), 199-225. https://doi.org/10.1007/bf00849555

Since the early 1980's, intelligent and adaptive systems have appeared and have been written about in a variety of guises. Although there are many differences between such systems as adaptive user interfaces, intelligent help systems and explanation...

Evaluation of local economic development (1993)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McQuaid, R. W. (1993, May). Evaluation of local economic development. Presented at COSLA Seminar

There is general agreement in the field of local economic development that evaluation is important to improve policy decisions and their implementation. A range of documents on evaluating government and European Commission economic development polici... Read More about Evaluation of local economic development.

The Integration of Design and Manufacture ‐A Quantum Leap (1993)
Journal Article
Hunt, I., Roberts, S., & Jones, R. (1993). The Integration of Design and Manufacture ‐A Quantum Leap. Integrated Manufacturing Systems, 4(2), 15-19. https://doi.org/10.1108/09576069310037464

New product “time to market” in the information technology (IT) industry is increasingly critical to a company′s competitiveness. Early product release into the marketplace will ensure higher profit margins, quicker returns on investment and therefo... Read More about The Integration of Design and Manufacture ‐A Quantum Leap.

A co-operative computer based on the principles of human co-operation (1993)
Journal Article
Clarke, A. A., & Smyth, M. (1993). A co-operative computer based on the principles of human co-operation. International journal of man-machine studies, 38(1), 3-22. https://doi.org/10.1006/imms.1993.1002

Co-operation is presented as a technique for radically improving human-computer interaction with complex knowledge bases during problem-identifying and problem-solving tasks. A study of human-human co-operation literature indicated the importance of... Read More about A co-operative computer based on the principles of human co-operation.

Architectures for persistence (1993)
Journal Article
Russell, G., & Cockshott, W. P. (1993). Architectures for persistence. Microprocessors and Microsystems, 17(3), 117-130. https://doi.org/10.1016/0141-9331%2893%2990042-6

Persistent object oriented architectures have been researched for many years, deriving initially from the Manchester University Atlas machine. In reality, however, few actual implementations of persistent architectures exist. In the first half of thi... Read More about Architectures for persistence.

Modelling ecological data. (1992)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Barclay, P. J., & Kennedy, J. (1992, June). Modelling ecological data. Presented at 6th International Workshop on Scientific and Statistical Database Management, 1992

Ecological surveys generate large quantities of data; database technology has not yet reached its full
potential in this area. Here we investigate approaches to modelling ecological data, considering the require-
ments for a successful model. An ob... Read More about Modelling ecological data..
