RSVP by 18th April to Daniela Pantica on [email protected] About the book The postwar orthodoxy postulated that education is both a mechanism for upward social mobility and an engine for economic growth. This book challenges these mainstream conceptions. Using Greece and the Roma people in particular as a case study, the author examines qualitative and quantitative social mobility findings to explore the changes associated with education and to analyse their importance for individuals and society. Confirmed speakers • T. Green , Series Editor, Institute of Education, London • Prof. Joyce Canaan , Professor of Sociology, Birmingham City University • Dr Eva Gamarnikow , Dept of Policy Studies, The Institute of Education, University of London Who should attend Research active staff, readers and professors from all Schools and Institutes at Middlesex University and other universities, educationalists, research students, media and policy makers.

    University of London Imperial College of Science and Technology Department of Management Science GRAPH COLOURING AND RELATED PROBLEMS IN OPERATIONS RESEARCH by SAMUEL MOSES KORMAN , B.Sc., M.Sc. A thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy and the Diploma of Imperial College July, 1975. ABSTRACT This thesis is concerned with the Graph Colouring Problem, and in particular with the development of new algorithmic methods for this problem. Two other problems which are closely involved with the Graph Colouring Problem, viz. the Set Covering and Clique- Generating problems,are also investigated in some detail. Chapter 1 introduces the Graph Colouring Problem. Some basic definitions and known results are given. Two integer programming formulations are detailed, and the use of Set-Covering methods in solving the Graph Colouring Problem is described. In Chapter 2, the Set Colouring Problem is investigated in its own right, and a survey of the main previously known algorithms for this problem is included. A new method for solving the Set Covering Problem is developed, and the chapter concludes with a computational comparison of these algorithms. Chapter 3 is concerned with the generation of the maximal -independent sets of a graph, which are needed for the solution of the Graph Colouring Problem as a Set Covering Problem. Various algorithms for generating these sets are described and compared. - Finally, methods of finding the maximal independent sets of a graph from certain of its related graphs are derived. Chapter 4 develops some theoretical results in the properties of optimal colouring which, in addition to leading to some new algorithms for graph-colouring, are also interesting in their own right.

    IMPERIAL COLLEGE LONDON UNIVERSITY OF LONDON TOWARDS HIGHER RESOLUTION GUIDED WAVE INSPECTION: SCATTERING STUDIES by Prabhu Rajagopal A thesis submitted to the University of London for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Mechanical Engineering Imperial College London London SW7 2AZ December 2007 Abstract Abstract This thesis presents work contributing to the development of ultrasonic guided wave NDE inspection systems with improved resolution. Guided waves today are well established in the rapid inspection of large structures. The approach taken so far has been to develop screening tools to maximize coverage; the methods yield precise information about the exact location of defects but only an approximate estimate of the severity of defects. However there are many applications where the areas of concern are not accessible, and reaching them for a secondary accurate inspection may not be possible or involve considerable cost. Therefore there is much interest in improving the resolution of guided wave NDE towards direct defect sizing. Two possible approaches are being considered to achieve this, using either multiple modes at high frequency- thickness or single mode array imaging at low frequencies. The work reported here concerns the understanding of the interaction of guided waves with defects so that an appropriate approach can be selected and implemented. A review of the basics of elastic wave scattering from defects is first presented in order to introduce methods used and effects encountered later in the work. A simple implementation of the high-frequency multimodal approach, in which the input consists of a single fundamental mode while the multiple-mode scattered signal permits separation into component modes, is then considered.

Lewis: I C London 5-6 Sept 2011 Organised by Middlesex Language & Communicaon Research Group & Cambridge Centre for Music and Science seminar 3: communicative interaction/ literacy & expertise Introduc)on to the seminar series This seminar series aims to explore new direc3ons in the study of the relaonship between language and music in psychology. Language and music share many features: they are both composed of sequences of sub-units; both require these units to be organised according to conven3onal structural rules; they vary pitch, temporal and rhythmic features to convey meaning; they u3lize specific wri3ng systems; and they both organize coordinated or joint social ac3ons. The debate is s3ll open concerning the evolu3onary relaonship between language and music, their boundaries (what is unique and specific to each) and whether they do or do not belong to separate domains/modules. For instance, Brown (2000) proposed that language and music may be described as two end-points of a con3nuum in which sound would specialize to convey more affec3ve meaning (music) or referen3al meanings (language). This suggests that language and music are evolu3onary homologues stemming from a musilanguage common ancestor (see Cross, 2005; 2007; Fitch, 2005, 2006; Mithen, 2006 aer Darwin 1871). These ideas have s3mulated hypotheses in areas ranging from the neurological bases of language and music, to transfers of learning across the two domains, the use of music in neurological rehabilitaon and other clinical contexts, as well as theore3cal issues of embodied cogni3on and joint ac3on.
