Fault tolerance and network integrity measures: the case of computer-based systems (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Andras, P., Idowu, O., & Periorellis, P. (2006). Fault tolerance and network integrity measures: the case of computer-based systems. In AISB'06: Network Analysis in Natural Sciences and Engineering

Fault tolerance is a key aspect of the dependability of complex computer-based systems. Fault tolerance may be difficult to measure directly in complex real world systems, and we propose here to measure it in terms of integrity preservation of the sy...

The language of cortical dynamics (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Andras, P. (2006). The language of cortical dynamics. In Computational Life Sciences II: Second International Symposium, CompLife 2006, Cambridge, UK, September 27-29, 2006. Proceedings (247-256). https://doi.org/10.1007/11875741_24

Cortical dynamics can be recorded in various ways. Theoretical works suggest that analyzing the dynamics of recorded activities might reveal the workings of the underlying neural system. Here we describe the extraction of an activity pattern language... Read More about The language of cortical dynamics.

Knowledge transfer in timber engineering (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hairstans, R., Dodyk, R., Kermani, A., Lawson, R., & Mackenzie, R. (2006). Knowledge transfer in timber engineering. In 9th World Conference on Timber Engineering 2006 (WCTE 2006) (2474-2477)

Napier University and Oregon Timber Frame Ltd have recently completed an award winning two year project in timber engineering. The project was conducted under the umbrella of a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) which is a UK Government funded res... Read More about Knowledge transfer in timber engineering.

Comparative field evaluation of the signal control strategy TUC in three traffic networks. (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bielefeldt, C. (2006). Comparative field evaluation of the signal control strategy TUC in three traffic networks.

This paper describes how the recently developed network-wide real-time signal control strategy TUC has been implemented in three traffic networks with quite different traffic and control infrastructure characteristics: Chania, Greece (23 junctions);...

Modelling how changes in the driving cycle affect fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emission rates: the first stage. (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kirby, H. (2006). Modelling how changes in the driving cycle affect fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emission rates: the first stage. In A. Ahmed (Ed.), World Sustainable Development Outlook 2006. Global and Local Resources in Achieving Sustainable De

This paper describes a simplified procedure for estimating the fuel consumed and carbon dioxide emitted as a result of traffic demand management measures or other policy instruments. The usual methods may be based on second-by-second traffic simulati...

Unsaturated hydraulic conductivity of landfilled waste. (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kazimoglu, Y. K., McDougall, J., & Pyrah, I. (2006). Unsaturated hydraulic conductivity of landfilled waste. . https://doi.org/10.1061/40802%28189%29127

Unsaturated flow modelling of landfill hydraulics is a potentially valuable tool for the prediction of leachate discharge rates, design of leachate control systems and simulation of biodegradation in engineered landfills. Such an approach requires in... Read More about Unsaturated hydraulic conductivity of landfilled waste..

Stability of domestic dwellings. (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hairstans, R., Kermani, A., & Lawson, R. (2006). Stability of domestic dwellings.

A comparative study of typical UK timber frame domestic dwellings is carried out in relation to system stability. The concepts of stiffness proportionality, redundancy, continuity and robustness are explored in relation to current UK timber frame d... Read More about Stability of domestic dwellings..

Automotive design methods applied to marine transport design (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Owen, J. K., & Drummond, I. (2006). Automotive design methods applied to marine transport design. In International Symposium on Marine Design

Coventry University has a successful three decade history in graduating industrial designers primarily in the automotive and transport sectors; increasingly these skills are being recognised as relevant to the design of marine vehicles. Primarily the... Read More about Automotive design methods applied to marine transport design.
