Bright Lights (2013)
Other

Bright Lights creates a multi-changing soundscape of trombone textures by use of changing time signatures and recurring refrains. Whilst the fanfare element is always important, the irregular rhythmic nuances create a sparkling effect throughout.

Breath volatile analysis from patients diagnosed with harmful drinking, cirrhosis and hepatic encephalopathy: A pilot study (2013)
Journal Article

Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a neuropsychiatric state potentially complicating cirrhosis following the accumulation of toxic compounds that cross the blood-brain barrier and affect brain function; the compounds may undergo alveolar gas exchange and...

The triangle of life: Evolving robots in real-time and real-space (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Evolutionary robotics is heading towards fully embodied evolution in real-time and real-space. In this paper we introduce the Triangle of Life, a generic conceptual framework for such systems in which robots can actually reproduce. This framework can...

Increased power output from micro porous layer (MPL) cathode microbial fuel cells (MFC) (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Microbial fuel cells are bio-electrochemical transducers that utilise microorganisms to generate electricity, through the oxidation of organic matter. They consist of a negative anode and a positive cathode, separated by an ion selective membrane. Th...

Power generation and contaminant removal in single chamber microbial fuel cells (SCMFCs) treating human urine (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The potential of single chamber microbial fuel cells (SCMFC) to treat raw, fresh human urine was investigated. The power generation (55 μW) of the SCMFCs with platinum (Pt)-based cathode was higher than those with Pt-free cathodes (23 μW) at the begi...

Embodied imitation-enhanced reinforcement learning in multi-agent systems (2013)
Journal Article

Imitation is an example of social learning in which an individual observes and copies another's actions. This paper presents a new method for using imitation as a way of enhancing the learning speed of individual agents that employ a well-known reinf...

"Who Milks the Cows at Maesgwyn?" The Animality of UK Rural Landscapes in Affective Registers (2013)
Journal Article

Landscapes are complex outplays of intersecting flows of agency in which humans and non-humans combine in a series of registers, and in cycles of comings and goings to make meshworks of life in place. The presence of animals in some landscapes can be... Read More about "Who Milks the Cows at Maesgwyn?" The Animality of UK Rural Landscapes in Affective Registers.

The motor age and the information age collide (2013)
Journal Article

Its hard to be visionary. Its easy to be too far-fetched in looking to the future. Its even easier to lack imagination. “Computers in the future may weigh no more than one and a half tons” – so goes the popularised version of the quote from Popular M...
