Anatomy of air entrapment in drop impact on a solid surface (2021)
Journal Article
Wu, Z., Cao, Y., & Yao, Y. (2021). Anatomy of air entrapment in drop impact on a solid surface. International Journal of Multiphase Flow, 142, Article 103724. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijmultiphaseflow.2021.103724

When a drop impacts on a solid surface, a thin air film is entrapped first and later evolves into a spherical air bubble at the center inside the drop. The problem involves several complex physical processes, including two-phase fluid flow interactio... Read More about Anatomy of air entrapment in drop impact on a solid surface.

Safety assessment review of a dressing assistance robot (2021)

A novel iterative identification based on the optimised topology for common state monitoring in wireless sensor networks (2021)
Journal Article
Lu, Z., Wang, N., & Yang, C. (2022). A novel iterative identification based on the optimised topology for common state monitoring in wireless sensor networks. International Journal of Systems Science, 53(1), 25-39. https://doi.org/10.1080/00207721.2021.1936275

Power consumption and data redundancy of wireless sensor networks (WSN) are widely considered for a distributed state monitoring network. For reducing the energy consumption and data amount, we propose a topology optimisation and an iterative paramet...

Ambulatory management of secondary spontaneous pneumothorax: A randomised controlled trial (2021)
Journal Article
Walker, S. P., Keenan, E., Bintcliffe, O., Stanton, A. E., Roberts, M., Pepperell, J., …Maskell, N. A. (2021). Ambulatory management of secondary spontaneous pneumothorax: A randomised controlled trial. European Respiratory Journal, 57(6), Article 2003375. https://doi.org/10.1183/13993003.03375-2020

Secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) is traditionally managed with an intercostal chest tube attached to an underwater seal. We investigated whether use of a one-way flutter valve shortened patients' length of stay (LoS). This open-label randomis...

Review of the techniques used in motor‐cognitive human‐robot skill transfer (2021)
Journal Article
Guan, Y., Wang, N., & Yang, C. (2021). Review of the techniques used in motor‐cognitive human‐robot skill transfer. Cognitive Computation and Systems, 3(3), 229-252. https://doi.org/10.1049/ccs2.12025

A conventional robot programming method extensively limits the reusability of skills in the developmental aspect. Engineers programme a robot in a targeted manner for the realisation of predefined skills. The low reusability of general-purpose robot...

The ability to perform well in the presence of noise is an important consideration when evaluating the effectiveness of a collective decision-making framework. Any system deployed for real-world applications will have to perform well in complex and u... Read More about Negative updating applied to the best-of-n problem with noisy qualities.

“They were aware of who I was as a person”: Patients’ and health professionals’ experiences of using the PEGASUS intervention to facilitate decision-making around breast reconstruction (2021)
Journal Article

European Journal of Cancer Care, Article e13464. https://doi.org/10.1111/ecc.13464

Objective: Many women choose to have breast reconstruction after mastectomy, however, decision-making can be difficult and expectations are often unmet. The PEGASUS intervention (Patient Expectations and Goals: Assisting Shared Understanding of Surge...
