State-of-the-art approaches often combine an optimisation algorithm,... Read More about Parallel Optimisation of Pump Schedules with a Thread-Safe Variant of EPANET Toolkit.

NuMA is required for proper spindle assembly and chromosome alignment in prometaphase (2009)
Journal Article
Haren, L., Gnadt, N., Wright, M., & Merdes, A. (2009). NuMA is required for proper spindle assembly and chromosome alignment in prometaphase. BMC Research Notes, 2, Article 64. https://doi.org/10.1186/1756-0500-2-64

NuMA is a protein that has been previously shown to play a role in focusing microtubules at the mitotic spindle poles. However, most previous work relies on experimental methods that might cause dominant side effects on spindle formation, such as mic...

The teaching and perhaps more importantly the practice of ethnographic techniques has become increasing important within Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). But ethnography is also synonymous with in situ data collection over extended periods of time m... Read More about Auto-ethnography: problems, pitfalls and promise.

Random acts of elasticity: MoE, G and EN408. (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ridley-Ellis, D., Moore, J., & Khokhar, A. M. (2009). Random acts of elasticity: MoE, G and EN408.

The paper examines the variation in modulus of elasticity (MoE) and shear modulus (G) within sawn timber and the implications for testing timber in accordance with EN408:2003. A combination of mechanical testing and simple analytical modelling is us... Read More about Random acts of elasticity: MoE, G and EN408..
