Accelerating point cloud cleaning
Capturing the geometry of a large heritage site via laser scanning can produce thousands of high resolution range scans. These must be cleaned to remove unwanted artefacts. We identified three areas that can be improved upon in order to accelerate the cleaning process. Firstly the speed at which …

Accelerating Embedded HOWFSC Algorithms
The quest to directly image planets of other solar systems demands not only state-of-the- art coronagraphs, but also places extreme performance demands on space-based processors. Direct imaging requires precise wavefront control to acquire the 1010 contrast necessary to reveal a dim, Earth-like …

Behaviour of accelerating entropy spots
… this thesis is to shed light on the behaviour of accelerating entropy spots, providing analytical and experimental tools to identify and isolate travelling entropy spots and the sound generated from their acceleration. The physical mechanisms of entropy-to-sound conversion are investigated using a …

Accelerating cleantech hardware product development
Startups in the Cleantech sector have historically had poor return on investment and high failure rates when compared with the medical or software sectors. One reason given for the disappointing outcomes of many Cleantech companies is slow product development (PD) and cycles of learning. In this …

Accelerating antimalarial drug discovery through repositioning
Of the plethora of parasitic diseases that afflict mankind, malaria remains the most significant with 100-300 million cases reported annually and 600,000 fatalities. Treatment and control measures have been hampered by the emergence of drug resistance to most antimalarial therapies. Early signs of …
