Artificial biochemical networks: a different connectionist paradigm. (2009)
Journal Article
MACLEOD, C. and CAPANNI, N.F. 2010. Artificial biochemical networks: a different connectionist paradigm. Artificial intelligence review [online], 33(1-2), pages 123-134. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1007/s10462-009-9149-y

Connectionist models are usually based on artificial neural networks. However, there is another route towards parallel distributed processing. This is by considering the origins of the intelligence displayed by the single celled organisms known as pr... Read More about Artificial biochemical networks: a different connectionist paradigm..

Direct synthesis gas conversion to alcohols and hydrocarbons using a catalytic membrane reactor. (2009)
Thesis
UMOH, R.M. 2009. Direct synthesis gas conversion to alcohols and hydrocarbons using a catalytic membrane reactor. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

In this work, inorganic membranes with highly dispersed metallic catalysts on macroporous titania-washcoated alumina supports were produced, characterized and tested in a catalytic membrane reactor. The reactor, operated as a contactor in the forced... Read More about Direct synthesis gas conversion to alcohols and hydrocarbons using a catalytic membrane reactor..

Modelling of fines migration mechanisms in high permeability sands: impact on reservoir performance. (2009)
Thesis
AL-MUFARJI, S. 2009. Modelling of fines migration mechanisms in high permeability sands: impact on reservoir performance. Robert Gordon University, MPhil thesis.

Today the oil and gas industry suffers significant production losses due to fines migrations in high permeability sandstone formations or sand packs. During drilling, production or injection, fines migration continues to cause formation impairment re...

Electromagnetically activated hypersonic ducts. (2009)
Journal Article
MACLEOD, C. 2009. Electromagnetically activated hypersonic ducts. Journal of the British Interplanetary Society [online], 62(3), pages 99-109. Available from: http://jbis.org.uk/paper.php?p=2009.62.99

This paper explores the use of Electromagnetic Radiation as an alternative to combustion in Scramjet-like hypersonic engines. The radiation is absorbed by the flow, heating it and thereby providing an alternative to the heat derived from combustion i... Read More about Electromagnetically activated hypersonic ducts..

Minds for robots. (2009)
Other
MACLEOD, C. and MAXWELL, G. M. 2009. Minds for robots. Electronics world, 115, pages 16-19.

In the 1950s and 60s, popular culture was entranced by robots. There was Robby in Forbidden Planet, Gort in The day the Earth stood still and many others. This fascination has continued to the present day, only the names have changed, now we have Com... Read More about Minds for robots..
