- Description
- This research theme has been established to bring together and create a common focus for those members of staff of Civil Engineering with an expertise or interest in computational work. The theme is broad, embracing all major aspects of the computational interests of the staff, whether these interests lie within our main area of Civil Engineering or in engineering more generally (with aspects of, for instance, aeronautical, mechanical, marine, chemical and materials engineering) or in topics such as artificial intelligence, neural networks, knowledge-based systems, etc.
- Description
- The Communications Engineering Group covers a broad range of research including applications of microwave technology to communications and sensor systems, novel aspects of network design and optical communications. Researched topics range from antennas, through microwave circuits, radiowave propagation, optics, networking and radar, to communications signal processing. Research funding comes from the EU, research councils, the MOD and industry.
- Description
- Information about research into Computational Cognitive Neuroimaging in the School of Psychology at the University of Birmingham. The goal of the Computational Cognitive Neuroimaging Group is to better understand the neural systems that allow us to acquire, represent and retrieve knowledge about our multisensory environment.
- Description
- ASTRAL is a multicentre, randomized, unblinded clinical trial, comparing revascularisation in addition to medical therapy versus medical therapy alone in patients with atherosclerotic renovascular disease (ARVD). The aim of ASTRAL is to assess whether renal arterial revascularisation with balloon angioplasty and/or endovascular stenting can safely prevent progressive renal failure among patients with ARVD. ASTRAL closed to recruitment in October 2007 having recruited 806 patients, and is now in long term follow up until 2017. The trial is managed by the BCTU at the University of Birmingham.
- Description
- PD GEN is a DNA databank for patients with Parkinson's, from the large randomised controlled trials PD MED, PD SURG, PD REHAB & PD COMM.
- Description
- PD MED is a large randomised clinical trial investigating the clinical and cost effectiveness of the different classes of drugs in the treatment of patients with Parkinson's disease.
