Addressing gaps in the availability of travel behaviour data. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Schmoecker, J.-D., Cooper, J. A., Polak, J. W., & Wigan, M. (2003, October). Addressing gaps in the availability of travel behaviour data. Presented at European Transport Conference

The aim of this paper is to present the results of a project undertaken to identify key areas in which shortcomings in the collection, processing and dissemination of travel behavioural data have held back needed research and, building on this, to de...

Genetic algorithms and timetabling (2003)
Book Chapter
Ross, P., Hart, E., & Corne, D. (2003). Genetic algorithms and timetabling. In A. Ghosh, & K. Tsutsui (Eds.), Advances in Evolutionary Optimisation. Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-18965-4_30

Genetic algorithms can be used to search very large spaces, and it would seem natural to use them for tackling the nastier kinds of timetabling problem. We completed an EPSRC-funded project on this last year, and distribute a free package that handle... Read More about Genetic algorithms and timetabling.

R-wave detection using continuous wavelet modulus maxima. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Romero Legarreta, I., Addison, P., Grubb, N. R., Clegg, G. R., Robertson, C. E., Fox, K. A. A., & Watson, J. N. (2003, September). R-wave detection using continuous wavelet modulus maxima. Presented at Computers in Cardiology

Modulus maxima derived from the continuous wavelet transform offers an enhanced time-frequency analysis technique for ECG signal analysis. Features within the ECG can be shown to correspond to various morphologies in the continuous modulus maxima dom... Read More about R-wave detection using continuous wavelet modulus maxima..

The Structural behaviour of timber joints made with fully overlapping nails. (2003)
Thesis
Porteous, A. The Structural behaviour of timber joints made with fully overlapping nails. (Thesis). Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2787

An integrated programme of experimental and analytical work was carried out to evaluate the nonlinear
semi-rigid characteristics of timber connections using fully overlapping nails subjected to short
duration lateral loading and moment. The investi... Read More about The Structural behaviour of timber joints made with fully overlapping nails..

An agent-based Bayesian method for network intrusion detection. (2003)
Thesis
Pikoulas, J. An agent-based Bayesian method for network intrusion detection. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4057

Security is one of the major issues in any network and on the Internet. It encapsulates many different areas, such as protecting individual users against intruders, protecting corporate systems against damage, and protecting data from intrusion. It i...

A methodology for composing well-defined character descriptions. (2003)
Report
Paterson, T., Cannon, A., Raguenaud, C., Russell, G., Armstrong, K. E., MacDonald, S. M., Pullan, M. R., Watson, M. F., & Kennedy, J. (2003). A methodology for composing well-defined character descriptions

Taxonomy has been described as “the science of documenting biodiversity”, which involves collecting, naming, describing, identifying and classifying specimens of organisms (Keogh, 1995). Descriptions are the fundamental information units used in the... Read More about A methodology for composing well-defined character descriptions..

Gaze tracking and its application to video coding for sign language. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Muir, L. J., Richardson, I., & Leaper, S. (2003, May). Gaze tracking and its application to video coding for sign language. Presented at Picture Coding Symposium 2003

Sign language communication via videotelephone has demanding visual quality requirements. In order to optimise video coding for sign language it is necessary to quantify the importance of areas of the video scene. Eye movements of deaf users are trac...
