A computational fluid dynamics model has been developed to predict the thermal performance of high-temperature theatre luminaires. The theoretical results are in good agreement with available experimental data. The model has been used to investigate...

The existing body of knowledge attributes to informal land transactions in sub-Saharan African cities observed problems in city neighbourhoods. Substantial resources, often backed by donor agencies, are therefore being spent in revamping bureaux and...

Wired for work? ICT and job seeking in rural areas. (2003)
Report
McQuaid, R. W., Lindsay, C., & Greig, M. (2003). Wired for work? ICT and job seeking in rural areas

Rural areas are, by definition, affected by their relative peripherality from industrial and population centres, and their dispersed patterns of economic and social activity. The geographical remoteness of many rural communities limits the availabil... Read More about Wired for work? ICT and job seeking in rural areas..

Alternative sampling methods for estimating multivariate normal probabilities (2003)

Understanding neural computation in terms of pattern languages (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
András, P. (2003). Understanding neural computation in terms of pattern languages. In Proceedings of the International Joint Conference on Neural Networks, 2003 (1385-1390)

There is some experimental evidence that the neural information processing in some small neural systems with complex behaviour (e.g., olfactory bulb, crab stomatogastric ganglion) can be best described in terms of activity patterns. Recently the patt... Read More about Understanding neural computation in terms of pattern languages.
