Towards the safety of human-in-the-loop robotics: Challenges and opportunities for safety assurance of robotic co-workers' (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The success of the human-robot co-worker team in a flexible manufacturing environment where robots learn from demonstration heavily relies on the correct and safe operation of the robot. How this can be achieved is a challenge that requires addressin...

Design procedure of chattering attenuation sliding mode attitude control of a satellite system (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This study presents a design procedure for a new robust nonlinear control algorithm based on the theory of the terminal sliding mode (TSM) to control the attitude of a satellite system. Since the traditional TSM controllers include a discontinuous fu... Read More about Design procedure of chattering attenuation sliding mode attitude control of a satellite system.

The application of visible wavelength reflectance hyperspectral imaging for the detection and identification of blood stains (2014)
Journal Article

© 2014 Forensic Science Society. Current methods of detection and identification of blood stains rely largely on visual examination followed by presumptive tests such as Kastle-Meyer, Leuco-malachite green or luminol. Although these tests are useful,... Read More about The application of visible wavelength reflectance hyperspectral imaging for the detection and identification of blood stains.

Feasibility of using Duraform® flex lattice structures and additive manufacturing for optimising bicycle helmet design safety (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Bicycle helmets are designed to attenuate forces and accelerations experienced by the head during cycling accidents. An essential element of bicycle helmet design is, therefore, the appropriate manufacturing of energy dissipating components. The focu...

Low temperature hydrothermal synthesis of ZnO nanowires for nanogenerator: Effect of gold electrode on the output voltage of nanogenerator (2014)
Journal Article

A low temperature hydrothermal technique is developed to grow ZnO (diameter 100 nm) nanowires for high output nanogenerator. Vertically aligned ZnO nanowires are grown on indium tin oxide (ITO) coated poly ethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate. Morp...

Prenatal exposure to maternal smoking and offspring DNA methylation across the lifecourse: Findings from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) (2014)
Journal Article

© The Author 2014. Maternal smoking during pregnancy has been found to influence newborn DNA methylation in genes involved in fundamental developmental processes. It is pertinent to understand the degree to which the offspring methylomeis sensitive t...
