Inductive power transfer for on-body sensors. Defining a design space for safe, wirelessly powered on-body health sensors (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Worgan, P., Clare, L., Proynov, P., Stark, B., & Coyle, D. (2015). Inductive power transfer for on-body sensors. Defining a design space for safe, wirelessly powered on-body health sensors. In 2015 9th International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare (PervasiveHealth) (177-184). https://doi.org/10.4108/icst.pervasivehealth.2015.259139

Designers of on-body health sensing devices face a difficult choice. They must either minimise the power consumption of devices, which in reality means reducing the sensing capabilities, or build devices that require regular battery changes or rechar...

Damage evaluation of composite materials using acoustic emission features and Hilbert transform (2015)
Journal Article
Nazmdar Shahri, M., Yousefi, J., Fotouhi, M., & Ahmadi Najfabadi, M. (2016). Damage evaluation of composite materials using acoustic emission features and Hilbert transform. Journal of Composite Materials, 50(14), 1897-1907. https://doi.org/10.1177/0021998315597555

© SAGE Publications. Acoustic emission (AE) has good potential to characterize failure mechanisms in laminated composite materials. One of the difficult issues using this method can be to establish a good correlation between occurred failure mechanis...

The first stage studies of U-state space control system design (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Liu, X., Zhu, Q., Narayan, P. P., & Yang, Y. (2015, July). The first stage studies of U-state space control system design. Paper presented at 2015 34th Chinese Control Conference (CCC), Hangzhou, China

In this study, a basic idea of U-state feedback control system design method is proposed based on U-model principle. Compared with U-model based nonlinear polynomial systems, the U-state space design is to determine the desired state variable equatio...

A new procedure for analysis and modelling of male urine flow rate (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Li, R., Gammie, A., Zhu, Q., Nibouche, M., & Kiely, J. (2015, July). A new procedure for analysis and modelling of male urine flow rate

In the first stage studies, this paper proposes a new piecewise linear discrete time dynamic model for describing global urine flow rate profiles against time sequence. The establishment of model has been guided by physician meaningful principles and... Read More about A new procedure for analysis and modelling of male urine flow rate.

A complete characterisation of local existence for semilinear heat equations in Lebesgue spaces (2015)
Journal Article
Laister, R., Robinson, J. C., Sierzega, M., & Vidal-Lopez, A. (2016). A complete characterisation of local existence for semilinear heat equations in Lebesgue spaces. Annales de l'Institut Henri Poincare (C) Non Linear Analysis, 33(6), 1519-1538. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anihpc.2015.06.005

We consider the scalar semilinear heat equation ut−Δu=f(u), where f:[0,∞)→[0,∞) is continuous and non-decreasing but need not be convex. We completely characterise those functions f for which the equation has a local solution bounded in Lq(Ω) for all...

Science live phase one: Community scoping and consensus building (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Fogg-Rogers, L. A., & Comerford, D. (2015, July). Science live phase one: Community scoping and consensus building. Paper presented at British Interactive Group Gathering 2015, Norfolk, UK

Live public science events are increasingly being acknowledged as distinct formats within the spectrum of science communication activity. There is, however, little overall tracking of or advocacy for such activity. External supporters of events, incl... Read More about Science live phase one: Community scoping and consensus building.

A systematic typology for negative Poisson's ratio materials and the prediction of complete auxeticity in pure silica zeolite JST (2015)
Journal Article

© the Owner Societies 2015. Single crystals can commonly have negative Poisson's ratio in a few directions; however more generalised auxeticity is rarer. We propose a typology to distinguish auxetic materials. We characterise numerous single crystals...
