Book Chapter
Laing, R., Leon, M., Herbert, C., & Roberts, C. (2020). Digital heritage as a route towards social engagement. In F. Melendez, N. Diniz, & M. Del Signore (Eds.), Data, Matter, Design (266-271). Routledge. https://doi.org/10.4324/9780367369156-85

The historic environment faces many challenges, one of which is a poor understanding of the positive role it can play in the maintenance, development, and regeneration of communities, their culture, and their economy. Aberdeenshire Council considers... Read More about Digital heritage as a route towards social engagement.

A blow-up dichotomy for semilinear fractional heat equations (2020)
Journal Article
Laister, R., & Sierżęga, M. (2021). A blow-up dichotomy for semilinear fractional heat equations. Mathematische Annalen, 381, 75–90. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00208-020-02078-2

We derive a blow-up dichotomy for positive solutions of fractional semilinear heat equations on the whole space. That is, within a certain class of convex source terms, we establish a necessary and sufficient condition on the source for all positive...

Nickel-based superalloys such as Hastelloy X (HX) are widely used in gas turbine engines for their exceptional oxidation resistance and high-temperature strength. The addition of ceramic reinforcement further enhances these superalloys’ mechanical pe...

Robust neurooptimal control for a robot via adaptive dynamic programming (2020)
Journal Article
Kong, L., He, W., Yang, C., & Sun, C. (2021). Robust neurooptimal control for a robot via adaptive dynamic programming. IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems, 32(6), 2584-2594. https://doi.org/10.1109/tnnls.2020.3006850

We aim at the optimization of the tracking control of a robot to improve the robustness, under the effect of unknown nonlinear perturbations. First, an auxiliary system is introduced, and optimal control of the auxiliary system can be seen as an appr...

Analysis on characteristics of self compacting concrete using recycled aggregate: A review (2020)
Journal Article
Pradhan, S. R., Sinha, P., Hui, S., & Udgata, G. (2020). Analysis on characteristics of self compacting concrete using recycled aggregate: A review. IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering, 1(5), 28-32

The inclusion of SCC or self-consolidating concrete is an innovative way to capitalize onthe demolished coarse aggregates in concrete. This can be obtained by crushing of old concretespecimens, beams, slabs, etc. This methodology was first introduced...

Citizen engagement and behaviour modelling for clean air and net zero carbon (2020)
Presentation / Conference
Fogg Rogers, L., Csobod, E., Sardo, M., Vanherle, K., Rodrigues, V., Lopes, M., & Hayes, E. (2020, September). Citizen engagement and behaviour modelling for clean air and net zero carbon. Presented at 10th International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software, Brussels, Belgium

The environmental and health impacts of climate change and air pollution are being felt around the world and yet cohesive and collaborative policymaking to mitigate emissions are moving too slowly. Behaviour change campaigns instead focus on individu... Read More about Citizen engagement and behaviour modelling for clean air and net zero carbon.
