From a company in Ireland that is closely associated with a company north of London, earlier work was from a drop technology device, analyzing the liquid drop with laser light. There was a European project on pollution and water quality in rivers and lakes. There was a KTP project with a solar energy company. Now that device has developed to include liquids and also powders, pills and pastes. The data obtained is as if from a Raman spectrometer, so that such data spectra are to be managed very well here. Domains of application include agricultural food and drink sources, medical patient analysis, and a recently developed domain of application is forensics. Most data sources can start with Raman spectroscopy, and the objectives can be both what is examined and also the need to relate what is examined to other standards and required properties. Therefore the analysis can be linked to a cloud-based repository that is to contain standards in the domain of agriculture. One data source used is oil analysis. A further domain of application is forensics. A data source obtained has been for explosive threat detection. Other data sources will be obtained. It can be stated that the start of this work is preprocessing for Raman spectroscopy and then Artificial Intelligence in the both direct assessment and also comparative assessment. A both novel and unique ability now it the implementation developments using Python. The methodology used here will be an excellent basis for discussion with the companies mentioned above. With the device mentioned above, there are major advantages for applications in many domains and that is to include also the analytics in Python that can be named as innovative and effective and beneficial and important Artificial Intelligence here in many domains of application. 1

This research project will develop a theoretical framework for the composition and production of techno, a genre of electronic dance music (EDM). The research problem this project will address is the lack of research into the musical and production techniques that govern electronic popular music in general and techno specifically. Techno is consistently the highest selling EDM genre on Beatport and producing EDM is an activity pursued by millions of enthusiasts. The pandemic has increased the number of people writing their own electronic music at home using digital technology, but the techniques of advanced approaches to techno production remain the domain of a small number of professionals whose activities do not include to educate enthusiasts. Music theorists and musicologists have so far covered only a few isolated topics and explored fragmented specific examples of EDM production. The project consists of four principal objectives: identify a range of techniques, and map their hierarchical stratification, that professional artists use to produce techno tracks that are popular on the dancefloor and/or commercially successful; map the decision making process and creative strategies that can underlie the professional production of a techno track; organise the various musical aspects of techno production in a comprehensive theoretical framework; explore the affordances of spatialisation in techno production and performance. By employing musicological analysis, spectromorphological analysis, qualitative interviews and practice-led/based research to explore techno production praxis, this project will synthesise a theoretical framework that will make a significant contribution to the fields of record production, creative process studies, popular music studies and 21st century music practice. This theoretical framework will provide researchers and producers with powerful new understandings of popular music in general and techno production in particular.

From the 1960s to the 1980s, numerous younger European composers were drawn to theatrical projects that overturned the established conventions of the opera house. These projects were typically small in scale and experimented with new relationships between instrumental performance and staged action. This ‘New Music Theatre’ is today regarded as an important manifestation of the experimental spirit of the time, and remains widely influential upon present-day creative production. However, histories of the genre have been misleading in focusing almost exclusively upon the figure of the composer. Documentary evidence shows clearly that new music theatre typically emerged from collaborations between composers, writers, directors, and performers, who dynamically mediated practices and theories from different disciplines and backgrounds. For instance, singer Roy Hart inspired works by Stockhausen and Henze, Eugenio Barba’s and Berio’s contemporaneous views about voice were liminal, while Peter Brook’s dramaturgy was supported by the work of lesser known composers and practitioners. NePraMusT aims to retrace some of those interactions, voicing the role of numerous creative agents currently underrepresented in official accounts. Through gathering extensive documentary evidence from European archives and undertaking practice-led investigation of historical actor training and voice work, the action will establish how music and theatre converged in these projects, throwing light on the creative and aesthetic crosscurrents that have heavily shaped present-day creative practices. NePraMusT will contribute to enhance the ER’s skills and future employability prospects, opening new training opportunities both as an academic and an artist-researcher, furthering her ability to plan, organise, develop her dissemination and public outreach competencies, and reinforcing her professional networks of practitioners and researchers versed in theatre and music theatre studies.

STEAM will adopt a novel multidisciplinary approach which utilities the medium of art and creative disciplines to communicate complex STEM concepts to a wide audience. The University of Huddersfield will be the primary site for the STEAM events which will showcase the research ongoing at universities and businesses across the Yorkshire Region, emphasizing specifically the pan-European research with which we are involved. STEAM will create a platform for public interaction through an exciting array of events, fun activities and presentations, where researchers from numerous and diverse disciplines will engage directly. The aim will be to engage with the general public, to illustrate to them the diversity, importance, and impact that this research has on everyday lives, and specifically young people to familiarize them with researchers in person to demystify any misconceptions they may hold and provide strong career role models. Two events are proposed (2016 and 2017) with the STEAM theme running across the two years, developments in research in 2017 will be emphasized to reflect the rapidly evolving nature of science.

The proposed EMInstr project aims to elevate the important research result, a lab prototype of a new wavelength scanning interferometer (NWSI) developed during the ERC-2008-ADG 228117 SURFUND project and to verify its potential as a commercial product. The EMInstr project intends to set up a commercialisation pathway: from verification/validation of the lab prototype, through to technical optimisation, product prototype design, technological licensing and finally into commercialisation. The expected result of this project is to develop a new generation instrument, a pre-production NWSI, for embedded metrology. The NWSI represents a step-change in manufacturing metrology instruments, being the first of a new generation of micro/nano geometry and surface topography measurement systems. This revolutionary device is the result of integrating several advanced technologies, wavelength/frequency scanning, GPU electronics and a multi-interferometry configuration, to produce the NWSI with unique capabilities in high-speed, large-measurement ratio (range/resolution) and robustness.
