  • Damping of post-impact vibrations 
    Muster, Michael; Amer, Hameed; Wood, David C.; Appleby-Thomas, Gareth J.; Wasmer, Kilian (Elsevier, 2019-08-22)
    During the impact of a body on a plate, flexural waves are set which travel circularly outwards from the point of impact. These waves can be used to determine the properties of the impacting body. For accurate measurements, ...
  • Dark materials: pre-Columbian black lithic carvings from St Vincent and the wider Caribbean 
    Brock, Fiona; Ostapkowicz, Joanna; Collinson, Margaret Elizabeth; Bull, Ian D.; Dyer, Chris; Lane, David W.; Domoney, Kelly; Uden, Jeremy (Elsevier, 2020-06-07)
    A small number of pre-Columbian black lithic carvings have been found at archaeological sites across the Caribbean, as well as in parts of neighbouring mainland South America. The identity of the material used to create ...
  • The dating and provenance of glass artefacts excavated from the ancient city of Tall Zirā‛a, Jordan

    The first deliberate manufacture of glass occurs in the sixteenth century BC, although the origin of the material is still a focus of debate; Egypt or Mesopotamia being the most likely innovator. The conventional approach ...
  • The dating and provenance of glass fragments from the site of Serabit el-Khâdim, Sinai 
    Kemp, Victoria; Delbey, Thomas; Shortland, Andrew J. (Elsevier, 2023-03-21)
    Serabit el-Khâdim, located on the western coast of the Sinai Peninsula, is the site of an ancient turquoise mine established in the early 12th Dynasty (c. 1985 BCE) and active between the 18th and 20th Dynasties (c. 1550–1136 ...
  • Dating Thach Lac: cryptic CaCO3 diagenesis in archaeological food shells and implications for 14c 
    Petchey, Fiona; Piper, Phillip J.; Dabell, Kathleen; Brock, Fiona; Turner, Helen; Dzung, Lam Thi My (Cambridge University Press, 2022-09-09)
    In many locations around the world, shell radiocarbon dates underpin archaeological research. The dating of shell brings the chronological relationship between the sample and target event (e.g., hunting and food preparation) ...
  • Death spiral of European offset? 
    Matthews, Ron; Anicetti, Jonata (Taylor and Francis, 2021-01-20)
    This paper is concerned with evaluating the impact of the Procurement Directive, 2009/81/EC, on defence offset in Europe. The aim of the Directive was to reduce the extent of Article 346 derogations based on offset. Indirect ...
  • Deception jamming against anti-ship missiles which use doppler beam sharpening modes 
    Frazer, Gareth (2020-02)
    Missile seekers are becoming increasingly more capable of using Doppler Beam Sharpening (DBS) modes as part of the homing cycle, which requires new countermeasures against this mode. One type of countermeasure, is to create ...
  • Deception jamming against doppler beam sharpening radars 
    Frazer, Gareth; Balleri, Alessio; Jacob, George S. (IEEE, 2019-09-16)
    Missile seekers are becoming increasingly more capable of using Doppler Beam Sharpening (DBS) modes as part of the homing cycle. This paper develops jamming theory and uses it for practical implementation of inserting false ...
  • Deception jamming against doppler beam sharpening radars 
    Frazer, Gareth; Balleri, Alessio; Jacob, George (IEEE, 2020-02-11)
    Missile seekers are becoming increasingly more capable of using Doppler Beam Sharpening (DBS) modes as part of the homing cycle, which requires new countermeasures against this mode. One type of countermeasure, is to create ...
  • Decision framework for the environmental management of explosive contaminated land 
    Ladyman, Melissa K.; Temple, Tracey J.; Piperakis, Michael; Fawcett-Hirst, William; Gutierrez Carazo, Encina; Coulon, Frederic (Elsevier, 2019-07-04)
    The environmental risks from explosive manufacturing and testing activities are usually evaluated using a qualitative process such as environmental impact prioritisation as recommended by legislation and guidance. However, ...
  • The decline of South Africa’s defence industry 
    Matthews, Ron; Koh, Collin (Taylor and Francis, 2021-08-08)
    The growth of South Africa’s apartheid era defence industry was propelled by international isolation following the 1984 UN arms embargo and revealed military technology deficiencies during the border war. Weapons innovation ...
  • Decomposition variability between the scene and autopsy examination and implications for post-mortem interval estimations 
    Giles, Stephanie B.; Errickson, David; Márquez-Grant, Nicholas (Elsevier, 2021-11-24)
    Forensic experts rely on scene and/or autopsy photographs to estimate the post-mortem interval (PMI) when an in-situ assessment of decomposition is unfeasible. The degree of decomposition may vary between the scene and ...
  • Deconstructing who you play: character choice in online gaming 
    Hodges, Duncan; Buckley, Oliver (Elsevier, 2018-06-18)
    The major growth in gaming over the last five to ten years has been through the expansion in online gaming, with the most frequent gamers now playing more games online than with others in person. The increase in cooperative ...
  • Deep abstraction and weighted feature selection for Wi-Fi impersonation detection 
    Aminanto, M E; Choi, R; Tanuwidjaja, H C; Yoo, P D; Kim, K (IEEE, 2017-09-28)
    The recent advances in mobile technologies have resulted in Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled devices becoming more pervasive and integrated into our daily lives. The security challenges that need to be overcome mainly stem ...
  • Deep learning for automatic target recognition with real and synthetic infrared maritime imagery 
    Westlake, Samuel T.; Volonakis, Timothy N.; Jackman, James; James, David B.; Sherriff, Andy (SPIE, 2020-09-20)
    Supervised deep learning algorithms are re-defining the state-of-the-art for object detection and classification. However, training these algorithms requires extensive datasets that are typically expensive and time-consuming ...
  • DeepLO: Multi-projection deep LIDAR odometry for space orbital robotics rendezvous relative navigation
