Manipulation of 10 – 40 μm Diameter Cells Using a Thermally Actuated Microgripper (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Daunton, R., Gallant, A., & Wood, D. (2012). Manipulation of 10 – 40 μm Diameter Cells Using a Thermally Actuated Microgripper. . https://doi.org/10.1557/opl.2012.1072

This work presents the successful fabrication of a thermally actuated U-shaped microgripper that has been specially designed to enable low voltage operation for bidirectional in plane deflection. The microgripper tips are carefully designed to match... Read More about Manipulation of 10 – 40 μm Diameter Cells Using a Thermally Actuated Microgripper.

Penalized regression on principal manifolds with application to combustion modelling (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Einbeck, J., Isaac, B., Evers, L., & Parente, A. (2012). Penalized regression on principal manifolds with application to combustion modelling. In A. Komarek, & S. Nagy (Eds.), 27th International Workshop on Statistical Modelling, 16-20 July 2012, Prague, Czech Republic ; proceedings (117-122)

For multivariate regression problems featuring strong and non–linear dependency patterns between the involved predictors, it is attractive to reduce the dimension of the estimation problem by approximating the predictor space through a principal surf...

Theoretical update of $B$-Mixing and Lifetimes (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lenz, A. (2012). Theoretical update of $B$-Mixing and Lifetimes.

We review the current status of theoretical predictions for mixing quantities and lifetimes in the B-sector. In particular, due to the first non-zero measurement of the decay rate difference in the neutral Bs-system,

Massively parallel landscape-evolution modelling using general purpose graphical processing units (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McGough, A., Liang, S., Rapoportas, M., Grey, R., Vinod, G., Maddy, D., …Wainwright, J. (2012). Massively parallel landscape-evolution modelling using general purpose graphical processing units. In 2012 19th International Conference on High Performance Computing (HiPC 2012) (1-10). https://doi.org/10.1109/hipc.2012.6507488

As our expectations of what computer systems can do and our ability to capture data improves, the desire to perform ever more computationally intensive tasks increases. Often these tasks, comprising vast numbers of repeated computations, are highly i...

Drying and Deposition of Picolitre Droplets of Colloidal Suspensions in Binary Solvent Mixtures (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Talbot, E., Berson, A., & Bain, C. (2012). Drying and Deposition of Picolitre Droplets of Colloidal Suspensions in Binary Solvent Mixtures. In NIP28 : international conference on digital printing technologies and digital fabrication 2012 (420-423)

Picolitre droplets of colloidal suspensions in a mixture of two solvents are emitted by a drop-on-demand ink jet print head onto coated and uncoated glass substrates. The evaporation rate and internal flows inside the drying droplets are investigated...

Reconstruction of the Unsteady Pressure Field in a Low Speed Linear Cascade (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Förster, F., Sims-Williams, D., & Ingram, G. (2012). Reconstruction of the Unsteady Pressure Field in a Low Speed Linear Cascade. In ASME Turbo Expo 2012 : turbine technical conference and exposition (2653-2662). https://doi.org/10.1115/gt2012-69156

This paper describes investigations into unsteady flow phenomena in a high turning linear cascade with a nominal steady flow. A fast response five hole probe was used to obtain time-accurate measurements. Since a single probe was used to traverse an...

BlueFix: Using Crowd-sourced Feedback to Support Programming Students in Error Diagnosis and Repair (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Watson, C., Li, F. W., & Godwin, J. L. (2012, December). BlueFix: Using Crowd-sourced Feedback to Support Programming Students in Error Diagnosis and Repair. Presented at 11th International Conference on Advances in Web-Based Learning, Sinaia

Feedback is regarded as one of the most important influences on student learning and motivation. But standard compiler feedback is designed for experts - not novice programming students, who can find it difficult to interpret and understand. In this...
