Review and optimisation of foot radiography technique
Radiography, 2021Radiography is an important tool in the diagnosis of trauma and diseases of the foot. Consistent image quality and anatomical appearances are essential to ensure that images are interpreted correctly and this study aims to evaluate current technique and use anthropomorphical phantoms in order to investigate the most optimal radiographic technique.A two

A structural optimisation technique
Computer-Aided Design, 1970Abstract A purpose-built optimisation technique is developed for a class of structural design problems. The method was developed because of difficulties encountered in the application of standard nonlinear optimisation techniques. The ideas are illustrated by the economic design of a simply supported pre-stressed concrete beam.

Optimising MRI small bowel techniques
Clinical Radiology, 2019Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based techniques have emerged as the preferred technique for the diagnostic evaluation of the small intestine, particularly in the adult population. The lack of ionising radiation makes MRI ideal for use in younger patients or in cases that require repeated follow-up investigations. Imaging of the small intestine may be

Comparison of Hive's query optimisation techniques
International Journal of Big Data Intelligence, 2018The ever increasing size of data sets in this big data era has forced data analytics to be moved from traditional RDBMS systems to distributed technologies like Hadoop. Since data analysts are more familiar with SQL than the MapReduce programming paradigm, HiveQL was built on Hadoop's MapReduce framework. Traditional RDBMS query optimisation techniques

On Portfolio Optimisation Techniques
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2014Executive Summary Here we look at alternative equity index weightings to ‘Market Capitalisation Weighting’ to see whether the expected theoretical improvement given by Portfolio Optimisation Techniques are realised in practice. We introduce a new portfolio weighting measure, called ‘Constrained Inverse Beta’, which is simple to implement and ...

Heuristic Techniques in Optimisation
2017These approaches can be useful when the problem to be solved is large and/or complex, when a timely good solution is considered to be better than a late optimal solution.

A Practical Optimisation Technique for a Queueing System
Journal of the Operational Research Society, 1977A scheduling problem in an outpatient clinic is considered. First the system is represented by means of a simple queueing model. The problem of minimising the patients' total queueing time is then formulated as a non-linear program and solved by applying the Kuhn-Tucker conditions.
