The measurement and characterization of surface topography
… parallel traversing technique. The system is computer controlled and makes use of an original sampling technique known as 'sampling in space. ' This permits the use of signal averaging to control the level of ambient noise in the data and implementation of algorithms to reject transient noise …

Automatic pre-treatment validation in radiotherapy by computer aided 3D-2D image alignment
… has proposed two novel methods to register computerised tomography (CT) based volume image data acquired for treatment planning with orthogonal planar images acquired at treatment simulation, which are able to recover the transformation errors in full six degrees of freedom (three …

Exploring Collaborative Agreement in Interactions
… in children’s learning and development cannot be overemphasized. Through play, children learn many social skills and how to be creative but children’s play is not always harmonious as it relies on power relations between groups. As children grow, they build peer groups where they prefer to …

Characterization of Mobile Web Quality of Experience using a non-intrusive, context-aware, mobile-to-cloud system approach
… context-aware and non-intrusive (does not depend on user feedback). This study identifies the factors which affect Web QoE and measures their effect on it in mobile scenarios. Moreover, this study explores scenarios in which Web QoE can be effectively characterized and enhanced, …

Early conversations about computer requirements: alternative approaches to understanding conversations between computer systems analysts and potential computer users, with a view to discovering what should be taught to computer experts about how to discover user's requirements
Computer systems analysts arrange to meet users to find out what is required of software to support an improved human x computer system. Bostrom (1989) successfully uses the precision model to help users explain what they want. Double-loop learning should help analysts hear what users say, but this …

On the direct solution of the poisson equation
The dissertation investigates direct methods for solving the discrete Poisson equation. In particular it gives a detailed account of the methods of Hockney and Buneman.

Heavily doped bulk unipolar structures
Transport properties of bulk unipolar (barrier) devices are investigated in the steady-state mode. This has entailed the study of heavily doped silicon characteristic which comprises important regions of the multilayer bulk unipolar devices. The devices covered are Camel diodes, P-plane barrier …

Privacy and data protection of computer held information
… the storage, processing and disclosure of computer held personal data. The Act places certain obligations upon data users, gives certain rights to providers of personal data and sets up an official administrative framework to monitor compliance with the Act and to behave as arbitrator in …

The Integration of Explanation-Based Learning and Fuzzy Control in the Context of Software Assurance as Applied to Modular Avionics
… Modular Avionics (IMA), which has previously not addressed the implications for software operating within this architecture. Namely, the adaptation of control laws to changing hardware. This work proposes some approaches to address this issue. Control laws may require adaptation to overcome …

A study of novel computing methods for solving large electromagnetic hazards problems
… order of 6dB as build and test repeatability cannot achieve better than this. Computer simulations of these interactions at the outset of this work were often taking 10 days and more on the largest parallel computers then available in the UK (Cray T3D - 40 GFLOPS nominal peak). Such run times …

Computer stimulations of particulate recording media
… behaviour must be more precisely understood. Computer simulations are an invaluable tool in the development and testing of models of these media. Presented here are several computer simulations of particulate recording media, based on models of their microscopic behaviour. The simulations were …

Development and application of real-time and interactive software for complex system
… dynamic simulation (CDS). This is a cellular computerisation technique that can be used to investigate different aspects of morphological topographies of soft material systems. The acquisition of quantitative data from particles is a critical requirement in order to obtain a better …

Handwriting recognition technology, children, and the writing process
… of a range of novel input technologies that has not been widely investigated, and writing is a task that is known to be difficult for children, and for which children use computers in schools. The research was mostly carried out with children aged between six and ten who were in state education. …
