Innovative shallow sump customizations for aero-engine bearing chambers (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Aero-engines incorporate various bearing chambers and these typically contain bearings, seals, rotating shafts, stationary walls and struts, and sometimes gears. Oil is supplied for lubrication and cooling and is removed (scavenged) from the sump reg... Read More about Innovative shallow sump customizations for aero-engine bearing chambers.

Microalgae as substrate in low cost terracotta-based microbial fuel cells: Novel application of the catholyte produced (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016 Elsevier Ltd. In this work, the by-product generated during the operation of cylindrical MFCs, made out of terracotta material, is investigated as a feasible means of degrading live microalgae for the first time. In addition to the low cost ma... Read More about Microalgae as substrate in low cost terracotta-based microbial fuel cells: Novel application of the catholyte produced.

Journal Article

© 1994-2011 IEEE. Thomas (all children's names have been changed) is five and a half years old and has been diagnosed with visuoconstructive deficits. He is under the care of an occupational therapist and tries to work around his inability to draw le... Read More about Learning by teaching a robot: The case of handwriting.

Scaling-up of a novel, simplified MFC stack based on a self-stratifying urine column (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016 Walter et al. Background: The microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a technology in which microorganisms employ an electrode (anode) as a solid electron acceptor for anaerobic respiration. This results in direct transformation of chemical energy into e... Read More about Scaling-up of a novel, simplified MFC stack based on a self-stratifying urine column.

The Symmetry of Partner Modelling (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016, International Society of the Learning Sciences, Inc. Collaborative learning has often been associated with the construction of a shared understanding of the situation at hand. The psycholinguistics mechanisms at work while establishing common... Read More about The Symmetry of Partner Modelling.

The EVIDENCE project: Measure no. 17 - Travel and passenger information (2016)
Journal Article

This paper is taken from the findings of the EU Evidence project. This project provides evidence that sustainable transport interventions and spending have as much to contribute to wider societal goals and strongly posi¬tive Benefit Cost Analysis res...

A critical review of the robustness of the UK government’s air quality plan and expected compliance dates (2016)
Journal Article

Globally, poor air quality is the most significant environmental health concern. Across Europe, 400,000 deaths were attributed to air pollution in 2012, whilst in the UK over 50,000 deaths per year are due to a combination of gaseous and particulate...

Unfamiliar fuel: How the UK public views the infrastructure required to supply hydrogen for road transport (2016)
Journal Article

Copyright © 2016, Hydrogen Energy Publications, LLC. In 2007, under contract to the UK Department for Transport, we engaged with the public about the infrastructure to supply hydrogen for transport. We combined a quota-sample survey of 1003 across th... Read More about Unfamiliar fuel: How the UK public views the infrastructure required to supply hydrogen for road transport.

Guidance for transport planning and policymaking in the face of an uncertain future (2016)
Journal Article

Uncertainty of outcome is widely recognised as a concern facing decision-makers and their advisors. In a number of spheres of policy, it appears uncertainty has intensified in the face of globalisation, economic instability, climate change, technolog...

From Real-time Attention Assessment to “With-me-ness” in Human-Robot Interaction (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2016 IEEE. Measuring "how much the human is in the interaction" - the level of engagement - is instrumental in building effective interactive robots. Engagement, however, is a complex, multi-faceted cognitive mechanism that is only indirectly obser... Read More about From Real-time Attention Assessment to “With-me-ness” in Human-Robot Interaction.
