‘eGovernment for You’ (EGOV4U) was a European Commission (EC) funded project developed to pilot models of multi-channel, public and community e-services designed to tackle social exclusion and disadvantage through a range of initiatives delivered by five project partners from a variety of European countries. Project evaluation employed a theory driven approach and the use of mixed methods for d...

Interference can be a significant problem in loosely organized networks such as ad-hoc radio networks. One technique for dealing with interference is to attempt joint detection of all signals arriving at a node. Iterative algorithms based on the turbo-principle yield significant performance improvements when applied to this problem. This paper concentrates on performance analysis of iterative i...

We demonstrate both experimentally and numerically a compact and efficient, optically tuneable plasmonic component utilizing a surface plasmon polariton ring resonator with nonlinearity based on trans-cis isomerization in a polymer material. We observe more than 3-fold change between high and low transmission states of the device at milliwatt control powers (∼100 W/cm2 by intensity),...
