The Development and Evaluation of an Approach to Auditory Display Design Based on Soundtrack Composition
(Queen Mary University of London, 2017-09-01)
This thesis presents the development and evaluation of a new approach (Sound-
TrAD) to designing auditory interfaces. The proposed approach combines practices
and concepts from film soundtrack composition with established ...
Neural Networks for Analysing Music and Environmental Audio
(Queen Mary University of London, 2017-02-28)
In this thesis, we consider the analysis of music and environmental audio
recordings with neural networks. Recently, neural networks have been
shown to be an effective family of models for speech recognition, computer
vision, ...
Characterisation and Design of Novel Non-Foster Circuits for Electrically Small Antennas
(Queen Mary University of London, 2017-02-20)
There is a demand for broadband electrically small antennas that cover
large frequency bands without any requirement of reconfiguration techniques.
This is particularly true at low frequencies (VHF/UHF), where
wavelengths ...
Constructive Relay based Cooperative Routing in Mobile Ad hoc Networks
(Queen Mary University of London, 2016-12-23)
Mobile Ad hoc networks (MANETs) are flexible networks that transmit packets node-by-node along a route connecting a given source and destination. Frequent link breaks (due to node mobility) and quick exhaustion of energy ...
Compressive Sensing Over TV White Space in Wideband Cognitive Radio
(Queen Mary University of London, 2016-08-02)
Spectrum scarcity is an important challenge faced by high-speed wireless communications.
Meanwhile, caused by current spectrum assignment policy, a large portion of
spectrum is underutilized. Motivated by this, cognitive ...
A Three Dimensional Gaussian Beam Diffraction Approach to Analysis of Quasi-optical Networks.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2016-04-14)
Millimetre and sub-millimetre wave systems have been applied in many areas, such as
radio astronomy, remote sensing of the atmosphere, plasma diagnostics, material
exploration. A Quasi-optical Network (QoN) is the most ...
Bayesian Networks for Health Care Support.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2016-03-12)
Bayesian Networks (BNs) have been considered as a potentially useful technique in the
health service domain since they were invented. Many authors have presented BNs for
managing health care and waiting time, predicting ...
MIMO ANTENNAS FOR MOBILE HANDSET AND TABLET APPLICATIONS.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2016-05-11)
The fast development of wireless communication technologies is pressing the antenna
engineers to investigate and design compact multiband antennas for the multiple-input
multiple-output (MIMO) systems, which is the key ...
Expressive timing analysis in classical piano performance by mathematical model selection.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2016-03-16)
Given a piece of music, the timing of each beat varies from performer to performer.
The study of these small differences is known as expressive timing
analysis. Research into expressive timing helps us to understand ...
Coordinated Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for Surveillance of Targets
(Queen Mary University of London, 2015-11-03)
This thesis investigates the coordination approaches of multiple mobile and
autonomous robots, especially resource-limited small-scale UAVs, for the
surveillance of pre-de ned ground targets in a given environment. A ...
