Assessing and addressing ethical risk from anthropomorphism and deception in socially assistive robots (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this paper we apply the recent concept of robot Ethical Risk Assessment to an exemplar Socially Assistive Robot (SAR); specifically considering ethical risks posed by anthropomorphism in this context. We draw on two complimentary studies to demons... Read More about Assessing and addressing ethical risk from anthropomorphism and deception in socially assistive robots.

Omni-chanel network design towards circular economy under inventory share policies (2021)
Journal Article

In this paper, we study inventory share policies in an omni-channel supply network, to contribute to the circular economy (CE) concept. Lateral inventory share implementation provides flexibility and profitability in the supply chain by allowing inve...

Painful experience and constitution of the intersubjective self: A critical-phenomenolozical analysis (2021)
Book Chapter

In this paper, we discuss how phenomenology might cogently express the way painful experiences are layered with complex intersubjective meaning. In particular, we propose a critical conception of pain as an intricate multi-levelled phenomenon, deeply...

Metameric representations on optimization of nano particle cancer treatment (2021)
Journal Article

In silico evolutionary optimization of cancer treatment based on multiple nano-particle (NP) assisted drug delivery systems was investigated in this study. The use of multiple types of NPs is expected to increase the robustness of the treatment, due... Read More about Metameric representations on optimization of nano particle cancer treatment.

The duty to take precautions in hostilities, and the disobeying of orders: Should robots refuse? (2021)
Journal Article

This Article not only questions whether an embodied artificial intelligence (“EAI”) could give an order to a human combatant, but controversially, examines whether it should also refuse one. A future EAI may be capable of refusing to follow an order,... Read More about The duty to take precautions in hostilities, and the disobeying of orders: Should robots refuse?.

'I have her image of bringing me cherries as an offer' : Exploring belonging and trust in cross-border business collaboration through storytelling (2021)
Journal Article

This paper explores the role of narratives as resources for enacting group membership and community building in the case of one company, a Greek- Turkish partnership, SforSteel. We pay special attention to the function of iterative stories and specif...

High-resolution direct numerical simulations of flow structure and aerodynamic performance of wind turbine airfoil at wide range of Reynolds numbers (2021)
Journal Article

The objective of this study is to develop direct numerical simulations (DNS) to investigate the aerodynamic performance, transition to turbulence, and to capture the laminar separation bubble occurring on a wind turbine blade. Simulations are conduct... Read More about High-resolution direct numerical simulations of flow structure and aerodynamic performance of wind turbine airfoil at wide range of Reynolds numbers.

Neural networks predicting microbial fuel cells output for soft robotics applications (2021)
Journal Article

The development of biodegradable soft robotics requires an appropriate eco-friendly source of energy. The use of Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) is suggested as they can be designed completely from soft materials with little or no negative effects to the...
