• High sensitivity temperature sensor based on balloon-shaped bent SMF structure with its original polymer coating 

  Tian, Ke; Farrrell, Gerald; Lewis, Elfed; Wang, Xianfan; Liang, Haidong; Wang, Pengfei (IOP Publishing, 2018)

  A high sensitivity optical fibre temperature sensor is demonstrated based on a balloon-shaped bent single-mode (BSBS) fibre structure where the fibre retains its original protective polymer coating. The BSBS fibre structure ...
• Wavelet-based transforms as a means of signal separation 

  Quinn, Declan; Walker, Jacqueline (2008)

  The goal of this paper is to facilitate the use of waveletbased transforms in BSS (and, more generally, ICA) algorithms. We investigate the performance of transforms such as the ContinuousWavelet Transform, Discrete ...
• A review of glottal waveform analysis 

  Walker, Jacqueline; Murphy, Peter (Springer, 2007)

  Glottal inverse filtering is of potential use in a wide range of speech processing applications. As the process of voice production is, to a first order approximation, a source-filter process, then obtaining source and ...
• Statistical, spectral and stochastic characteristics of music 

  Quinn, Declan; Walker, Jacqueline (2008)

  The goal of this paper is to explore some of the principal spectral and statistical characteristics of music that are relevant to the problem of Blind Source Separation (BSS). Some BSS algorithms require some a priori ...
• On the scalability of particle swarm optimisation 

  Piccand, Sébastien; O'Neill, Michael; Walker, Jacqueline (2008)

  Particle swarm has proven to be competitive to other evolutionary algorithms in the field of optimization, and in many cases enables a faster convergence to the ideal solution. However, like any optimization algorithm it ...

• Genetic programming for musical sound analysis 

  Loughran, Róisín; Walker, Jacqueline; O'Neill, Michael; McDermott, James (Springer, 2012)

  This study uses Genetic Programming (GP) in developing a classi er to distinguish between ve musical instruments. Using only simple arithmetic and boolean operators with 95 features as terminals, a program is developed ...
• An exploration of genetic algorithms for efficient musical instrument identification 

  Loughran, Róisín; Walker, Jacqueline; O'Neill, Michael (2009)

  This study explores the use of genetic algorithms (GA) in optimising feature selection for musical instrument recognition. 95 timbral features were used to classify 3006 musical instrument samples into 5 instrument groups. ...
• An analytical spectral formulation of glottal flow 

  Walker, Jacqueline; Murphy, Peter (2003)

  The need for accurate voice source characterisation is an established goal in speech processing research. Practical limitations prohibit the widescale use of a glottal source/vocal tract filter implementation for many ...

• Modelling the levels of historic waste electrical and electronic equipment in Ireland 

  Johnson, Michael; Fitzpatrick, Colin; Wagner, Michelle; Huisman, Jaco (Elsevier, 2018)

  The implementation of the WEEE Directive in Ireland introduced a formal system for the return & environmentally sound management of WEEE. Visible fees were introduced to cover the cost of the environmentally sound management ...
• Collision detection for underwater ROV manipulator systems 

  Sivčev, Satja; Rossi, Matija; Coleman, Joseph; Omerdić, Edin; Dooly, Gerard; Toal, Daniel (MDPI, 2018)

  Work-class ROVs equipped with robotic manipulators are extensively used for subsea intervention operations. Manipulators are teleoperated by human pilots relying on visual feedback from the worksite. Operating in a remote ...
• Spectra of amplitude-perturbed glottal waveforms 

  Walker, Jacqueline; Murphy, Peter (2001)

  The spectral description of voice aperiodicities is important for the introduction of refined voice synthesis parameters and for quantifying voice disorders. A quantitative analysis of the spectral properties of glottal ...
• Experimental and simulation study for commercial time transfer service over geostationary satellite 

  Walker, Jacqueline; Genova, Marco (2012)
