A little about the verification of a lot (EN 14358) (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ridley-Ellis, D. (2022, September). A little about the verification of a lot (EN 14358). Paper presented at Northern European Network for Wood Science and Engineering (WSE) 2022, Goettingen, Germany

Sometimes it is necessary to estimate the mean and/or percentile of a certain population by limited sampling, in order to compare with target values. Done properly, the method should account for random chance in the sampling so that the two risks can... Read More about A little about the verification of a lot (EN 14358).

Watching you desist: Policing as punishment in the cybercrime context (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Horgan, S., Anderson, S., & Collier, B. (2022, September). Watching you desist: Policing as punishment in the cybercrime context. Paper presented at European Society of Criminology, Malaga

Cyber-dependent crime is now more often considered a national security issue rather than a routine policing matter. 'High-policing' agencies tend to take the lead in law enforcement responses, even when crimes are petty, ‘low-tech’, or born of curios...

RCT: Random consistency training for semi-supervised sound event detection (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Shao, N., Loweimi, E., & Li, X. (2022, September). RCT: Random consistency training for semi-supervised sound event detection. Paper presented at Interspeech 2022, Incheon, Korea

Sound event detection (SED), as a core module of acoustic environmental analysis, suffers from the problem of data deficiency. The integration of semi-supervised learning (SSL) largely mitigates such problem. This paper researches on several core mod...

Raw waveform acoustic modelling has recently received increasing attention. Compared with the task-blind hand-crafted features which may discard useful information, representations directly learned from the raw waveform are task-specific and potentia...

Dynamic Behaviour of a Geotechnical Seismic Isolation System with Rubber-Sand Mixtures to Enhance Seismic Protection (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bernal-Sanchez, J., McDougall, J., Miranda-Manzanares, M., & Barreto, D. (2022, September). Dynamic Behaviour of a Geotechnical Seismic Isolation System with Rubber-Sand Mixtures to Enhance Seismic Protection. Presented at 3rd European Conference on Earthquake Engineering & Seismology, Bucharest, Romania

A Geotechnical Seismic Isolation (GSI) system is proposed in this study based on the use of Rubber-Soil mixtures (RSm) to facilitate the benefits of dynamic soil-foundation structure interaction. The latter is possible due to the lower stiffness and... Read More about Dynamic Behaviour of a Geotechnical Seismic Isolation System with Rubber-Sand Mixtures to Enhance Seismic Protection.
