Humanoid robot avatars: An 'in the wild' usability study (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this paper, we report a breaching study to explore the use of a tele-operated humanoid avatar from both the perspective of the robot operator and the perspective of interlocutors. Humanoid robot avatars provide capabilities that video conferencing... Read More about Humanoid robot avatars: An 'in the wild' usability study.

Shot peening coverage effect on residual stress profile by FE random impact analysis (2016)
Journal Article

Shot peening is one of the most effective surface treatments for improving the fatigue strength of machine elements. In this paper, a new finite element-based model to predict the effect of coverage on the surface state is proposed and critically dis...

Spatial analysis and simulation of extreme coastal flooding scenarios for national-scale emergency planning (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The UK has a long history of coastal flooding, driven by large-scale low-pressure weather systems which can result in flooding over large spatial areas. Traditional coastal flood risk analysis is, however, often undertaken at local scales and hence d...

National scale multivariate extreme value modelling of waves, winds and sea levels (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

It has long been recognised that extreme coastal flooding can arise from the joint occurrence of extreme waves, winds and sea levels. The standard simplified joint probability approach used in England and Wales can result in an underestimation of flo...

Methodology to assess coastal infrastructure resilience to climate change (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The section of railway which runs along the coastline of south Devon in United Kingdom, from Exeter to Newton Abbot, is one of the most photographed sections of railway in the world. It was opened in 1846 with embankments and seawalls protecting and... Read More about Methodology to assess coastal infrastructure resilience to climate change.

Combined effects of municipal and industrial wastes on the quality of the new northern Calabar River, Nigeria (2016)
Journal Article

This study was conducted to investigate the combined effects of municipal and industrial waste discharges on the quality of the new northern Calabar River in the Niger Delta province (5.317°N, 6.467°E) of Nigeria. Water samples were collected in June... Read More about Combined effects of municipal and industrial wastes on the quality of the new northern Calabar River, Nigeria.

Implementing sustainable construction principles and practices by key stakeholders (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The term ‘sustainable construction’ is used to highlight the responsibility of the construction industry in attaining sustainable development (SD). With the increasing necessity for resource efficiency and climate change adaptation, there is a need f...

Current trend in water supply and consumption, and associated health implications ions in Port Harcourt, Nigeria (2016)
Journal Article

This paper briefly discussed potable water situation in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, from the 1950s, and then
highlighted major factors preventing the implementation of water projects. Due to the inability of government
to provide water, and the regulat... Read More about Current trend in water supply and consumption, and associated health implications ions in Port Harcourt, Nigeria.

How do traffic flow and the emissions they produced vary through the day, week, season and year: evidence from big telematics data (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Robust feedback linearization control of air-feed system in PEM fuel cell against practical uncertainty (2016)
Journal Article

In this paper robust feedback linearization control approach based on the gap metric analysis is proposed to control a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC). The oxygen excess ratio ( ) is regulated through adjustment of the air supply to avoid...
