Modelling and mapping urban vulnerability index against potential structural fire-related risks: An integrated GIS-MCDM approach (2023)
Journal Article

Identifying the regions with urban vulnerability to potential fire hazards is crucial for designing effective risk mitigation and fire prevention strategies. The present study aims to identify urban areas at risk of fire using 19 evaluation factors a...

Correct for the wrong reason: Why we should know more about mathematical common student errors in e-assessment questions (2023)
Journal Article

Students may arrive at an incorrect answer when answering a mathematical question due to several reasons, such as random errors, calculation errors or misreading the question. Such errors are sometimes referred to as Common Student Errors (CSEs). Thi...

Extended mixed integer quadratic programming for simultaneous distributed generation location and network reconfiguration (2023)
Journal Article

Introduction. To minimise power loss, maintain the voltage within the acceptable range, and improve power quality in power distribution networks, reconfiguration and optimal distributed generation placement are presented. Power flow analysis and adva... Read More about Extended mixed integer quadratic programming for simultaneous distributed generation location and network reconfiguration.

Trajectory tracking of a quadrotor using extend state observer based U-model enhanced double sliding mode control (2023)
Journal Article

This paper develops a novel U-model enhanced double sliding mode controller (UDSMC) for a quadrotor based on multiple-input and multiple-output extended-state-observer (MIMO-ESO). UDSMC is designed using Lyapunov synthesis and Hurwitz stability to no...
