Application of reset voltage feedback for droop minimization in the unidirectional current pulse transformer (2008)
Journal Article
McNeill, N., Gupta, N. K., Burrow, S. G., Holliday, D., & Mellor, P. H. (2008). Application of reset voltage feedback for droop minimization in the unidirectional current pulse transformer. IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics, 23, 591-599. https://doi.org/10.1109/TPEL.2007.915662

This paper investigates the application of reset voltage feedback for reducing errors due to droop in the signal derived from a current transformer sensing unidirectional current pulses in switched-mode power converter applications. Droop is minimise... Read More about Application of reset voltage feedback for droop minimization in the unidirectional current pulse transformer.

Assessment of the error in the average current sensed by the unidirectional current pulse transformer (2008)
Journal Article
McNeill, N., & Gupta, N. K. (2008). Assessment of the error in the average current sensed by the unidirectional current pulse transformer. IET Circuits, Devices and Systems, 2, 265. https://doi.org/10.1049/iet-cds%3A20070226

Advantages of using a current transformer (CT) for current sensing in switched mode power converters are that galvanic isolation is inherent, losses are low, the bandwidth is high and a high-amplitude output signal may be obtained. However, 'droop' o... Read More about Assessment of the error in the average current sensed by the unidirectional current pulse transformer.

Visualising the soundfield and soundscape: extending Macaulay and Crerar’s 1998 method (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McGregor, I., Crerar, A., Benyon, D., & LePlâtre, G. (2008). Visualising the soundfield and soundscape: extending Macaulay and Crerar’s 1998 method. In Proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Auditory Display

The introduction of effective auditory warnings into a shared environment requires a prior understanding of the existing soundfield and soundscape. Reifying the physical and perceptual auditory environment enables a form of pre-auditioning, as well a...

Publishing in Scotland: reviewing the fragile revival (2008)
Journal Article
McCleery, A., Sinclair, M., & Gunn, L. (2008). Publishing in Scotland: reviewing the fragile revival. Publishing Research Quarterly, 24, 87-97. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12109-008-9069-8

A comparison of analyses of the Scottish publishing industry carried out in 1992, 2002 and 2007 underscores the fragility of the sector within a small country within the English-language community. A number of indices reveal either stability or stagn... Read More about Publishing in Scotland: reviewing the fragile revival.

The 1969 Edition of Ulysses: the making of a Penguin Classic. (2008)
Journal Article
McCleery, A. (2008). The 1969 Edition of Ulysses: the making of a Penguin Classic. James Joyce quarterly, 46, 55-73. doi:10.1353/jjq.0.0110

The status of Ulysses as a classic in the United Kingdom, and, more specifically, its adoption within the academic canon, resulted from its first publication as a paperback by the Penguin Press in 1969. The decisions that Penguin made about price, si... Read More about The 1969 Edition of Ulysses: the making of a Penguin Classic..
