Vibration isolation performance enhancement using hybrid nonlinear inerter and negative stiffness based on linkage mechanism (2023)
Journal Article

Purpose: To suppress the low-frequency vibration of dynamic systems such as underwater vehicles, this research proposes a novel geometrically nonlinear vibration isolator using hybrid nonlinear inertial andnegative stiffness element. Methods: A sprin... Read More about Vibration isolation performance enhancement using hybrid nonlinear inerter and negative stiffness based on linkage mechanism.

PhD candidate? Why and how to develop a career plan (2023)
Journal Article

After several conversations with some PhD students/candidates, I was struck by one common thread – the lack of awareness or astuteness in planning or developing their own careers, and lack of confidence in seeking help.

The impact of participatory budgeting on health and well-being: a qualitative case study of a deprived community in London (2023)
Thesis

Background
Participatory budgeting (PB) is a democratic innovation that enables residents to participate directly and collectively decide how to spend public money in their community. Research demonstrates PB improves social well-being through gove...

Exploring the impacts that virtual nature exposure can have on health and well-being and the mechanisms involved: A systematic review (2023)
Journal Article

Exposure to nature can improve health and well-being. However, numerous populations have restricted access to outdoor environments. Reviews show virtual nature exposure can provide benefits for a range of health and well-being outcomes. There is spac...

Standardised and referenced acoustic monitoring reliably estimates bat fatalities at wind turbines: Comments on ‘Limitations of acoustic monitoring at wind turbines to evaluate fatality risk of bats’ (2023)
Journal Article

Voigt et al. (2021) provide a thorough analysis of the restrictions inherent to the estimation of bat abundance from acoustic surveys, and conclude that limitations of acoustic monitoring impede the reliable evaluation of bat fatalities at wind turbi...

Development and validation of multivariable prediction models for in-hospital death, 30-day death, and change in residence after hip fracture surgery and the 'stratify-hip' algorithm (2023)
Journal Article

To develop and validate the stratify-hip algorithm (multivariable prediction models to predict those at low, medium, and high risk across in-hospital death, 30-day death, and residence change after hip fracture). Multivariable Fine-Gray and logistic...
