Pack carburisation of commercially pure titanium with limited oxygen diffusion for improved tribological properties
(Article)In the present work a new pack carburising surface treatment method has been developed, whereby oxygen diffusion and carburization of commercially pure titanium was undertaken. Pack carburization was carried out with a ... -
Parametric analysis of influencing factors in Phase Change Material Wallboard (PCMW)
(Article)Incorporating Phase Change Materials (PCMs) into traditional building structures has been considered as an effective way to reduce the mismatch between energy supply and demand and in turn to minimise energy consumption ... -
Parametric Co-variance Assignment for a Class of Multivariable Stochastic Uncertain Systems: Output Feedback Stabilization Approach
(Article)This paper presents a novel parametric co-variance assignment strategy for multi-variable stochastic uncertain systems. Based upon the explicit parametric design and reduced-order closed-form co-variance model, the variances ... -
Parametric decoupling control strategy for a class of nonlinear uncertain systems via observer-based output feedback
(Conference)In this paper, the system decoupling problem has been investigated and a novel decoupling control strategy is presented for Lipschitz nonlinear uncertain multivariable systems. This control strategy consists of an explicit ... -
Parametric representation of complex sources in reflective environments.
(Conference)Aspects of source directivity in reflective environments are considered, including the audible effects of directivity and how these can be reproduced. Different methods of encoding and production are presented, leading to ... -
Parametric resonance domain of a parametric excited screen machine
(Article)In this paper the stable operation domain of a parametric resonance (PR) based screen machine is thoroughly investigated. The dynamic model of a screen with two differential equations coupled by a geometric nonlinearity ... -
Passenger Departure Process Modelling to Investigate the Effect of Variability for a Major International Airport
(Conference)The special environment of any airport, especially a major international hub made process improvement and analysis difficult. This is due to the variability induced by several factors and which could potentially change, ... -
Passive scalar diffusion in three-dimensional turbulent rectangular free jets with numerical evaluation of turbulent Prandtl/Schmidt number
(Article)The passive scalar spreading of fluids with laminar Prandtl or Schmidt number, Pr, Sc, equal to 1 in turbulent rectangular submerged free jets is analyzed by means of numerical simulation and theoretical analysis in ... -
Patterning of Antibodies Using Flexographic Printing
(Article)Antibodies were patterned onto flexible plastic films using the flexographic printing process. An ink formulation was developed using high molecular weight polyvinyl alcohol in carbonate–bicarbonate buffer. In order to aid ... -
Peer effect and social learning in micro-generation adoption and urban smarter grids development?
(Article)The adoption speed and scale of a low-carbon technology (PV) is investigated and the importance of peer effect and social learning for future UK urban energy network de-carbonisation is questioned. -
Peer-to-peer live streaming for massively multiplayer online games
(Conference)One of the most attractive features of Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) is the possibility for users to interact with a large number of other users in a variety of collaborative and competitive situations. Gamers ... -
Peer-to-Peer Live Video Streaming with Rateless Codes for Massively Multiplayer Online Games
(Article)We present a multi-level multi-overlay hybrid peer-to-peer live video system that enables players of Massively Multiplayer Online Games to simultaneously stream the video of their game and watch the game videos of ...
