(University of Exeter, 2012-12-14)Subset of 10,000 particles from high resolution galaxy simulation followed over time. -
The 2012 Madeira dengue outbreak: epidemiological determinants and future epidemic potential
(Public Library of Science, 2014-08)Dengue, a vector-borne viral disease of increasing global importance, is classically associated with tropical and sub-tropical regions around the world. Urbanisation, globalisation and climate trends, however, are facilitating ... -
The 2014 interferometric imaging beauty contest
(Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE) -, 2014-07-24)Here we present the results of the 6th biennial optical interferometry imaging beauty contest. Taking advantage of a unique opportunity, the red supergiant VY CMa and the Mira variable R Car were observed in the astronomical ... -
The 21st century decline in damaging European windstorms
(European Geosciences Union (EGU) / Copernicus Publications, 2016-08-29)A decline in damaging European windstorms has led to a reduction in insured losses in the 21st century. This decline is explored by identifying a damaging windstorm characteristic and investigating how and why this ... -
2D and 3D polar plume analysis from the three vantage positions of STEREO/EUVI A, B, and SOHO/EIT
(Springer Verlag, 2011-11-17)Polar plumes are seen as elongated objects starting at the solar polar regions. Here, we analyze these objects from a sequence of images taken simultaneously by the three spacecraft telescopes STEREO/EUVI A and B, and ... -
2D Material Liquid Crystals for Optoelectronics and Photonics
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017-07-21)The merging of the materials science paradigms of liquid crystals and 2D materials promises superb new opportunities for the advancement of the fields of optoelectronics and photonics. In this review, we summarise the ... -
2D materials integrated in Si3N4 photonics platform
(Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2018-02-22)In this paper, we discuss a back-end CMOS fabrication process for the large-scale integration of 2D materials on SOI (siliconon-insulator) platform and present a complete theoretical study of the change in the effective ... -
3-D Vector Processing of Magnetometer and Inclinometer Data
(British Cave Research Association (BCRA), 1996-10)Cave surveying currently relies on visually reading a compass and clinometer. The price of magnetometers and solid-state inclinometers is falling rapidly; thus an electronic compass/clinometer with automatic data-logging ... -
A > 3000 suns high concentrator photovoltaic design based on multiple Fresnel lens primaries focusing to one central solar cell
(Elsevier, 2018-05-13)A high concentrator photovoltaic design is proposed of 5800x geometrical concentration ratio based on multiple primary Fresnel lenses focusing to one central solar cell. The final stage optic is of a novel design, made of ... -
3D electron density distribution in the solar corona during solar minima: assessment for more realistic solar wind modelling
(American Astronomical Society, 2015-11-17)Knowledge of the electron density distribution in the solar corona put constraints on the magnetic field configurations for coronal modeling and on initial conditions for solar wind modeling. We work with polarized ... -
The 3D Menpo Facial Landmark Tracking Challenge
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2018-01-23)Recently, deformable face alignment is synonymous to the task of locating a set of 2D sparse landmarks in intensity images. Currently, discriminatively trained Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNNs) are the state-of-the-art ... -
A 3D morphable model learnt from 10,000 faces
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2016-12-12)We present Large Scale Facial Model (LSFM) - a 3D Morphable Model (3DMM) automatically constructed from 9,663 distinct facial identities. To the best of our knowledge LSFM is the largest-scale Morphable Model ever constructed, ... -
3D reconstruction of "in-the-wild" faces in images and videos
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2018-05-15)3D Morphable Models (3DMMs) are powerful statistical models of 3D facial shape and texture, and are among the state-of-the-art methods for reconstructing facial shape from single images. With the advent of new 3D sensors, ... -
