Combined effect of residual stress and loading history on brittle fracture
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The aim of this paper is to examine the influence of residual stress (RS) and loading history on the subsequent low-temperature cleavage fracture resistance of ferritic steel structures such as pressure vessels. Three dimensional finite element analy... Read More about Combined effect of residual stress and loading history on brittle fracture.

Measurement and prediction of residual stress generated by local compression
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In order to assess the effect of a residual stress field on the fracture behaviour of materials, a well-defined residual stress field, with known characteristics, such as triaxiality, must be generated in a controllable and reproducible manner. In th... Read More about Measurement and prediction of residual stress generated by local compression.

Influence of residual stress on the fracture behaviour of an aluminium alloy
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Influence of residual stresses on fracture response of an Aluminum alloy is investigated. Cylindrical flat ended punching tools are employed to introduce residual stresses on 15mm thick C (T) specimens. The residual stress field resulting from Local...

A novel hybrid framework for realistic UAV detection using a mixed RF signal database
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Advances in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) empower a plethora of applications but also raise significant security and privacy challenges. Effective UAVs detection systems are crucial for mitigating these risks. This paper deals with this problem and...

A lightweight integrity-driven federated learning approach to mitigate poisoning attacks in IoT
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Despite its distributed nature and being privacy-preserving by nature, Federated Learning (FL) is vulnerable to poisoning attacks in which malicious actors can inject fake model parameters or false data to compromise the learning process. This articl... Read More about A lightweight integrity-driven federated learning approach to mitigate poisoning attacks in IoT.

ProxiMix: Enhancing fairness with proximity samples in subgroups
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Many bias mitigation methods have been developed for addressing fairness issues in machine learning. We have found that using linear mixup alone, a data augmentation technique, for bias mitigation, can still retain biases present in dataset labels. R...

KLANG: Live and expressive C++ for audio [ADC24 Workshop]
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This workshop provides a practical introduction to two technologies developed to support C++ audio development: klang, a C++ dialect (language extension) that adds audio DSP semantics to modern C++, and rapIDE (rapid audio prototyping IDE), a complet...

Human rights education: Teachers’ perceptions about the value of children’s participation
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Presented at BERA 2024 - this presentation focused on our findings from teachers in Work Package 2 of the Children's Participation in Schools project.

Embedding children's participative rights in pedagogical practice in lower primary classrooms in Wales
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Presented at BERA 2024, this presentation focused on the results of a legislative and policy analysis of Welsh educational documents as well as a survey administered to ITE providers across Wales

FLASH proton therapy
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Conference teaching session: The FLASH effect is a normal tissue sparing induced by ultra-high dose rate irradiation. This effect has the potential to create a step change in the therapeutic ratio, however the exact parameters which induce normal tis... Read More about FLASH proton therapy.

Examining the occupational stress experienced by ambulance staff: A mixed methods stress audit
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Background and Aim(s): Ambulance staff have the highest sickness rates, intention to leave and burnout in the NHS, with work-stress and anxiety recognised as key causes. There are many known work stressors (e.g., excessive workload, operational deman... Read More about Examining the occupational stress experienced by ambulance staff: A mixed methods stress audit.

The impact of remote consultations on first contact physiotherapists in primary care
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Background: First Contact Physiotherapists (FCPs) were introduced to reduce demands on GPs by providing improving access to expert musculoskeletal care. FCPs experience similar workplace stressors to GPs and there is an emerging concern that remote c...
