The Density Of States Approach At Finite Chemical Potential: A Numerical Study Of The Bose Gas., R Pellegrini, L Bongiovanni, K Langfeld, B Lucini, A Rago Jan 2015

The Density Of States Approach At Finite Chemical Potential: A Numerical Study Of The Bose Gas., R Pellegrini, L Bongiovanni, K Langfeld, B Lucini, A Rago

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics

Recently, a novel algorithm for computing the density of states in statistical systems and quantum field theories has been proposed. The same method can be applied to theories at finite density affected by the notorious sign problem, reducing a high-dimensional oscillating integral to a more tractable one-dimensional one. As an example we applied the method to the relativistic Bose gas.

Posture Affects How Robots And Infants Map Words To Objects., Af Morse, Vl Benitez, T Belpaeme, A Cangelosi, Lb Smith Jan 2015

Posture Affects How Robots And Infants Map Words To Objects., Af Morse, Vl Benitez, T Belpaeme, A Cangelosi, Lb Smith

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics

For infants, the first problem in learning a word is to map the word to its referent; a second problem is to remember that mapping when the word and/or referent are again encountered. Recent infant studies suggest that spatial location plays a key role in how infants solve both problems. Here we provide a new theoretical model and new empirical evidence on how the body - and its momentary posture - may be central to these processes. The present study uses a name-object mapping task in which names are either encountered in the absence of their target (experiments 1-3, 6 …


Productivity And Efficiency Impacts Of Urea Deep Placement Technology In Modern Rice Production: An Empirical Analysis From Bangladesh, S Rahman, Bk Barmon Jan 2015

Productivity And Efficiency Impacts Of Urea Deep Placement Technology In Modern Rice Production: An Empirical Analysis From Bangladesh, S Rahman, Bk Barmon

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Rice is the most dominant field crop in Bangladesh covering 75% of the total cultivated area and consumes 80% of the total fertilizers alone. Nevertheless, the productivity of rice in Bangladesh remains one of the lowest in the world. Urea, the main source of nitrogen (N), plays a key role in rice production, is required in large amount, is the most limited nutrient and also suffers from heavy system losses. A worldwide crisis of urea fertilizer in 2008 spurred the need to economise on its use with urgency. The Urea Deep Placement (UDP) technology is aimed at increasing N fertilizer …

A Robust Navigation Technique For Integration In The Guidance And Control Of An Uninhabited Surface Vehicle, A. Annamalai, A. Motwani, S. K. Sharma, R. Sutton, P. Culverhouse, C. Yang Jan 2015

A Robust Navigation Technique For Integration In The Guidance And Control Of An Uninhabited Surface Vehicle, A. Annamalai, A. Motwani, S. K. Sharma, R. Sutton, P. Culverhouse, C. Yang

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics

This paper proposes the novel use of a weighted Interval Kalman Filter (wIKF) in a robust navigational approach for integration with the guidance and control systems of an uninhabited surface vehicle named Springer. The waypoint tracking capability of this technique is compared with that of one that uses a conventional Kalman Filter (KF) navigational design, when the model of the sensing equipment used by the filter is incorrect. In this case, the KF fails to predict correctly the vehicle's heading, which consequently impacts negatively on the performance of its integrated navigation, guidance and control (NGC). However, the use of a …


Neural Network Fault Diagnosis Of A Trolling Motor Based On Feature Reduction Techniques For An Unmanned Surface Vehicle, Wathiq Abed, Sanjay Sharma, Robert Sutton Jan 2015

Neural Network Fault Diagnosis Of A Trolling Motor Based On Feature Reduction Techniques For An Unmanned Surface Vehicle, Wathiq Abed, Sanjay Sharma, Robert Sutton

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics

This article presents a novel approach to the diagnosis of unbalanced faults in a trolling motor under stationary operating conditions. The trolling motor being typically of that used as the propulsion system for an unmanned surface vehicle, the diagnosis approach is based on the use of discrete wavelet transforms as a feature extraction tool and a time-delayed neural network for fault classification. The time-delayed neural network classifies between healthy and faulty conditions of the trolling motor by analysing the stator current and vibration. To overcome feature redundancy, which affects diagnosis accuracy, several feature reduction methods have been tested, and the …

3d Fea Modelling Of Laminated Composites In Bending And Their Failure Mechanisms, M. Meng, H. R. Le, M. J. Rizvi, S. M. Grove Jan 2015

3d Fea Modelling Of Laminated Composites In Bending And Their Failure Mechanisms, M. Meng, H. R. Le, M. J. Rizvi, S. M. Grove

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics

Abstract This paper developed three-dimensional (3D) Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to investigate the effect of fibre lay-up on the initiation of failure of laminated composites in bending. Tsai-Hill failure criterion was applied to identify the critical areas of failure in composite laminates. In accordance with the 3D FEA, unidirectional ([0]16), cross-ply ([0/90]4s) and angle-ply ([±45]4s) laminates made up of pre-preg Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastics (CFRP) composites were manufactured and tested under three-point bending. The basic principles of Classical Laminate Theory (CLT) were extended to three-dimension, and the analytical solution was critically compared with the FEA results. The 3D FEA results …

The Effects Of Unequal Compressive/Tensile Moduli Of Composites, M. Meng, H. R. Le, M. J. Rizvi, S. M. Grove Jan 2015

The Effects Of Unequal Compressive/Tensile Moduli Of Composites, M. Meng, H. R. Le, M. J. Rizvi, S. M. Grove

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics

Abstract This paper investigates the effects of unequal compressive and tensile moduli of carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) composites. The basic assumption is based on the statistics that the compressive modulus is a fraction lower than the tensile modulus. Data evaluated by Finite Element Analysis (FEA) model, Classical Laminate Theory (CLT) model, and experiment are used to investigate these effects. The terms of compressive modulus are successfully introduced into the Tsai–Wu failure criterion for the production of failure envelops, into the Classical Beam Theory (CBT) and CLT for the investigation of flexural behaviour as well as the fibre microbuckling model …
