An optimal strategy for epilepsy surgery: Disruption of the rich-club? (Dataset)
(PLOS Computational Biology, 2017)Surgery is a therapeutic option for people with epilepsy whose seizures are not controlled by anti-epilepsy drugs. In pre-surgical planning, an array of data modalities, often including intra-cranial EEG, is used in an ... -
Vibration Serviceability of Pedestrian Structures in Vertical Direction including Human-structure Interaction: New Statistical Framework for Assessment
(Elsevier, 2017-01-20)Predicting the effect of walking traffic on structural vibrations is a great challenge to designers of pedestrian structures, such as footbridges and floors. This is mainly due to the lack of adequate design guidelines, ... -
Verification of a Rapid Mooring and Foundation Design Tool
(SAGE Publications, 2017)Marine Renewable Energy (MRE) devices require mooring and foundation systems that are suitable in terms of device operation, are robust and also cost effective. In the initial stages of mooring and foundation development ... -
Entropy production and time asymmetry in the presence of strong interactions
(American Physical Society, 2017-06-19)It is known that the equilibrium properties of open classical systems that are strongly coupled to a heat bath are described by a set of thermodynamic potentials related to the system's Hamiltonian of mean force. By adapting ... -
Observation of photonic Fermi arcs in topological metamaterials (Dataset)
(Nature, 2017)The discovery of topological phases introduces new perspectives and platforms for various interesting physics originally investigated in quantum context and then, on an equal footing, in classic wave systems, such as ... -
High-performance versatile setup for simultaneous Brillouin-Raman micro-spectroscopy

Hydrodynamic analysis of a ducted, open centre tidal stream turbine using blade element momentum theory
(Elsevier, 2017)This paper analyses two different configurations of horizontal axis Tidal Stream Turbines (TSTs) using a Blade Element Momentum Theory (BEMT) model. Initially, a ‘conventional’ three bladed and bare turbine is assessed, ... -
HARPS3 for a roboticized Isaac Newton telescope
(Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE), 2016)We present a description of a new instrument development, HARPS3, planned to be installed on an upgraded and roboticized Isaac Newton Telescope by end-2018. HARPS3 will be a high resolution (R = 115,000) echelle spectrograph ... -
The stellar association around Gamma Velorum and its relationship with Vela OB2
(Oxford University Press (OUP) / Royal Astronomical Society, 2009-02-01)We present the results of a photometric BVI survey of 0.9deg<SUP>2</SUP> around the Wolf-Rayet binary gamma<SUP>2</SUP> Vel and its early-type common proper motion companion gamma<SUP>1</SUP> Vel (together referred to as ... -
The effect of unresolved contaminant stars on the cross-matching of photometric catalogues
(Oxford University Press (OUP) / Royal Astronomical Society, 2017-07)A fundamental process in astrophysics is the matching of two photometric catalogues. It is crucial that the correct objects be paired, and that their photometry does not suffer from any spurious additional flux. We compare ... -
An eclipse of the X-ray flux from the dwarf nova OY Carinae in quiescence
(Oxford University Press (OUP) / Royal Astronomical Society, 1999-08-01)We present a phase-resolved ROSAT HRI X-ray light curve of the dwarf nova OY Car in quiescence. The X-ray flux is eclipsed at the same time as the optical eclipse of the primary, and the region of X -ray emission is ... -
The X-ray source population of the globular cluster M15: Chandra high-resolution imaging
(Oxford University Press (OUP) / Royal Astronomical Society, 2005-02-01)The globular cluster M15 was observed on three occasions with the High Resolution Camera on-board Chandra in 2001 in order to investigate the X-ray source population in the cluster centre. After subtraction of the two ... -
Reflection of circularly polarized light and the effect of particle distribution on circular dichroism in evaporation induced self-assembled cellulose nanocrystal thin films
(American Institute of Physics, 2017-06-01)Evaporation induced self-assembled (EISA) thin films of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) have shown great potential for displaying structural colour across the visible spectrum. They are believed primarily to reflect left ... -
Effect of AMOC collapse on ENSO in a high resolution general circulation model
(Springer Verlag, 2017)We look at changes in the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in a high-resolution eddy-permitting climate model experiment in which the Atlantic Meridional Circulation (AMOC) is switched off using freshwater hosing. The ... -
Extreme value statistics for two-dimensional convective penetration in a pre-Main Sequence star
(EDP Sciences for European Southern Observatory (ESO), 2017)We examine a penetration layer formed between a central radiative zone and a large convection zone in the deep interior of a young low-mass star. Using the Multidimensional Stellar Implicit Code (MUSIC) to simulate ... -
Pair states in one-dimensional Dirac systems
(American Physical Society, 2017-06-13)Analytic solutions of the quantum relativistic two-body problem are obtained for an interaction potential modeled as a one-dimensional smooth square well. Both stationary and moving pairs are considered and the limit of ... -
Computer models to inform epilepsy surgery strategies: prediction of postoperative outcome

Strong constraints on aerosol-cloud interactions from volcanic eruptions
(Springer Nature, 2017)Aerosols have a potentially large effect on climate, particularly through their interactions with clouds, but the magnitude of this effect is highly uncertain. Large volcanic eruptions produce sulfur dioxide, which in turn ... -
Risk assessment of an offshore wind turbine and remaining useful life estimation of the power converter. Improving availability by prioritising failures with higher risk to operation
(ASRANet, 2016-09-12)By 2014, almost 2500 offshore wind turbines were installed in Europe representing 8GW of capacity connected to the grid and, there is a growing market penetration for the next years. Offshore wind farm operators are facing ... -
Steel-concrete connections for floating wave energy converters
(ASRANet, 2016-09-12)In order to make wave power technologies competitive within the overall energy market, there needs to be significant reductions in the levelised cost of energy (LCoE). One area for potential cost reduction is the use of ...
