Towards disposable microbial fuel cells: Natural rubber glove membranes (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Copyright © 2013 Delta Energy and Environment. Natural rubber from laboratory gloves (GNR) was compared to cation exchange membrane (CEM) in microbial fuel cells (MFC). GNR-MFCs produced an immediate working voltage (50mV) indicating the availability... Read More about Towards disposable microbial fuel cells: Natural rubber glove membranes.

Algal "lagoon" effect for oxygenating MFC cathodes (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Copyright © 2013 Delta Energy and Environment. This paper describes the active oxygenation performed by the photosynthetic organisms in the cathode of a two-chamber Microbial Fuel Cell system. The algal growth provided dissolved oxygen to the cathode... Read More about Algal "lagoon" effect for oxygenating MFC cathodes.

Optimized activated carbon cathode in membraneless single chamber microbial fuel cell treating acetate (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Copyright © 2013 Delta Energy and Environment. Activated Carbon (AC) have been used as cheap alternative cathode for microbial fuel cell (MFC) applications. Different parameters (applied pressure and temperature treatment) have been changed and the c...

Smart miniature microbial fuel cell design for increased electricity generation and waste water treatment (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Copyright © 2013 Delta Energy and Environment. Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) are a green sustainable energy with minimal carbon footprint, suitable for wastewater remediation and generation of useful amounts of electricity. This study focuses on the ar... Read More about Smart miniature microbial fuel cell design for increased electricity generation and waste water treatment.

Lee-side flow structures of very low aspect ratio cruciform wing–body configurations (2013)
Journal Article

Anumerical and experimental investigation was performed to study the dominant flow structures in the lee side of a cruciform wing-body configuration at supersonic speeds in the + orientation. The wings or strakes are of very low aspect ratio of order... Read More about Lee-side flow structures of very low aspect ratio cruciform wing–body configurations.

How can I help you? Comparing engagement classification strategies for a robot bartender (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

A robot agent existing in the physical world must be able to understand the social states of the human users it interacts with in order to respond appropriately. We compared two implemented methods for estimating the engagement state of customers for... Read More about How can I help you? Comparing engagement classification strategies for a robot bartender.

Mechanical properties and microstructure of thin plates of A6061 wrought aluminum alloy using rheology forging process with electromagnetic stirring (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

We propose the possibility of fabricating A6061 thin plates using the rheology forging process. Electromagnetic stirring (EMS) is used to fabricate a semi-solid slurry. A thin plate is formed by injecting the slurry into the forging die. When the pun...

A variable compliance, soft gripper (2013)
Journal Article

Autonomous grasping is an important but challenging task and has therefore been intensively addressed by the robotics community. One of the important issues is the ability of the grasping device to accommodate varying object shapes in order to form a... Read More about A variable compliance, soft gripper.

Flexible time and ether in one-dimensional cellular automata (2013)
Thesis

A one-dimensional cellular automaton is an infinite row of identical machines---the cells---which depend for their behaviour only on the states of their direct neighbours.

This thesis introduces a new way to think about one-dimensional cellular au... Read More about Flexible time and ether in one-dimensional cellular automata.

Dynamic polarisation reveals differential steady-state stabilisation and capacitive-like behaviour in microbial fuel cells (2013)
Journal Article

In this paper we present several preliminary results produced with a purposely-designed external-resistor (R ext ) sweeping tool for microbial fuel cells (MFCs). Fast sampling rates show that MFCs exhibit differential steady-state stabilisation behav...
