Social Geology — Integrating Sustainability Concepts Into Earth Sciences, Iain S. Stewart, Joel C. Gill
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
Most geologists would argue that geoscientific knowledge, experience, and guidance is critical for addressing many of society's most acute environmental challenges, yet few geologists are directly engaged in current discourses around sustainable development. That is surprising given that several attributes make modern geoscience well placed to make critical contributions to contemporary sustainability thinking. Here, we argue that if geoscientists are to make our know-how relevant to sustainability science, two aspects seem clear. Firstly, the geoscience community needs to substantially broaden its constituency, not only forging interdisciplinary links with other environmental disciplines but also drawing from the human and behavioral sciences. …

Wave Directional Spreading From Point Field Measurements, M. L. Mcallister, V. Venugopal, A. G.L. Borthwick
School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics
Ocean waves have multidirectional components. Most wave measurements are taken at a single point, and so fail to capture information about the relative directions of the wave components directly. Conventional means of directional estimation require a minimum of three concurrent time series of measurements at different spatial locations in order to derive information on local directional wave spreading. Here, the relationship between wave nonlinearity and directionality is utilized to estimate local spreading without the need for multiple concurrent measurements, following Adcock & Taylor (Adcock & Taylor 2009 Proc. R. Soc. A 465 , 3361–3381. ( doi:10.1098/rspa.2009.0031 )), with the assumption …
Flow Through A Very Porous Obstacle In A Shallow Channel, M. J. Creed, S. Draper, T. Nishino, A. G.L. Borthwick
Flow Through A Very Porous Obstacle In A Shallow Channel, M. J. Creed, S. Draper, T. Nishino, A. G.L. Borthwick
School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics
A theoretical model, informed by numerical simulations based on the shallow water equations, is developed to predict the flow passing through and around a uniform porous obstacle in a shallow channel, where background friction is important. This problem is relevant to a number of practical situations, including flow through aquatic vegetation, the performance of arrays of turbines in tidal channels and hydrodynamic forces on offshore structures. To demonstrate this relevance, the theoretical model is used to (i) reinterpret core flow velocities in existing laboratory-based data for an array of emergent cylinders in shallow water emulating aquatic vegetation and (ii) reassess …

Trust Integration For Security Optimisation In P2p-Based M2m Applications, Besfort Shala, Patrick Wacht, Ulrich Trick, Armin Lehmann, Bogdan Ghita, Stavros Shiaeles
School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics
This publication presents a novel concept for securing P2P-based M2M applications using the integration of a trust management system. In addition, this publication presents different security problems inside the P2P-based M2M application (P2P4M2M) framework and evaluates P2P protocols based on security. Furthermore, this publication emphasises the importance of trust for ensuring security. This is done through a novel concept which uses special trust metric parameters for the P2P4M2M framework.

Spirit Determinism In The Christian Anthropology Of Yorù̀Bá Indigenous Churches, Bernard T. Ayọ̀Ọlá
Spirit Determinism In The Christian Anthropology Of Yorù̀Bá Indigenous Churches, Bernard T. Ayọ̀Ọlá
CTS PhD Doctoral Dissertations
There are people who think everything in life is an accident. Then, there are the Yorùbá of Southwestern Nigeria who believe that life outcomes are prearranged by the Supreme Being but may also be altered, for better or for worse, by the spirit beings in the universe. Yorùbá Christians, like their non-Christian kin, believe that many experiences in life are manifestations of the activities of the superhuman spirit beings in the community. While the good spirits (such as ancestors and angels) ordinarily have positive impacts on society, the evil spirits (such as witches, wizards, and demons) often work in collaboration …
Sonic Affects And The Production Of Space: ‘Music By Handle’ And The Politics Of Street Music In Victorian London, Paul Simpson
Sonic Affects And The Production Of Space: ‘Music By Handle’ And The Politics Of Street Music In Victorian London, Paul Simpson
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
This article examines the affective capacities of sound and its role in the on-going production of social spaces. More specifically, the article seeks to understand the situated nature of sound’s affectivity within particular social-political-material contexts or circumstances. This is developed through a discussion of an empirical case study related to the history of street music: the ‘street music debates’ of Victorian London. The interrelation here of the sounds street musicians made, the broader urban soundscape of the time, who played street music and who it was that found themselves listening to this music demonstrate clearly the situated affective capacities of …
A Sense Of The Cycling Environment: Felt Experiences Of Infrastructure And Atmospheres, Paul Simpson
A Sense Of The Cycling Environment: Felt Experiences Of Infrastructure And Atmospheres, Paul Simpson
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
This paper explores how cyclists gain a sense of the environments they move through by considering their felt experiences of the affective atmospheres that emerge in and through their movements. More specifically, the focus falls upon how various forms of transport infrastructure choreograph bodies in their movements through the city and so contributes towards the co-production of various affective atmospheres between differently mobile bodies. Drawing on video interviews with 24 commuter cyclists in Plymouth, UK, the roles that such infrastructures and atmospheres play in shaping the experience of cycling through shared forms of transport space are considered. Based on this, …

Applied Gaussian Process In Optimizing Unburned Carbon Content In Fly Ash For Boiler Combustion, C Wang, Y Liu, Rm Everson, Aam Rahat, S Zheng
School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics
Recently, Gaussian Process (GP) has attracted generous attention from industry. This article focuses on the application of coal fired boiler combustion and uses GP to design a strategy for reducing Unburned Carbon Content in Fly Ash (UCC-FA) which is the most important indicator of boiler combustion efficiency. With getting rid of the complicated physical mechanisms, building a data-driven model as GP is an effective way for the proposed issue. Firstly, GP is used to model the relationship between the UCC-FA and boiler combustion operation parameters. The hyperparameters of GP model are optimized via Genetic Algorithm (GA). Then, served as the …
Oscillatory Neural Models Of The Basal Ganglia For Action Selection In Healthy And Parkinsonian Cases, R Borisyuk
Oscillatory Neural Models Of The Basal Ganglia For Action Selection In Healthy And Parkinsonian Cases, R Borisyuk
School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics
The neuronal circuits of the Basal Ganglia (BG) play an important role in movement control and it is known that without correctly functioning BG, the cortex’s ability to control movements is diminished. Parkinson’s disease (PD), for example, is primarily a disease of the basal ganglia. One aspect of pathological activity in the parkinsonian basal ganglia is an increase in synchronous oscillatory firing patterns

A Modular Architecture For Transparent Computation In Recurrent Neural Networks, Gs Carmantini, P Beim Graben, M Desroches, S Rodrigues
School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics
Computation is classically studied in terms of automata, formal languages and algorithms; yet, the relation between neural dynamics and symbolic representations and operations is still unclear in traditional eliminative connectionism. Therefore, we suggest a unique perspective on this central issue, to which we would like to refer as transparent connectionism, by proposing accounts of how symbolic computation can be implemented in neural substrates. In this study we first introduce a new model of dynamics on a symbolic space, the versatile shift, showing that it supports the real-time simulation of a range of automata. We then show that the Gödelization of …
