A new design for friction stir spot joining of Al alloys and carbon fibre reinforced composites (2020)
Journal Article

Friction stir spot welding (FSSW) has been recently developed to join dissimilar materials. However, the traditional requirement for a rotating tool consists of a pin and shoulder in FSSW leads to a complex joining process and unpredictable defects....

From the lab to the field: Self-stratifying microbial fuel cells stacks directly powering lights (2020)
Journal Article

The microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology relies on energy storage and harvesting circuitry to deliver stable power outputs. This increases costs, and for wider deployment into society, these should be kept minimal. The present study reports how a MFC...

Sample and time efficient policy learning with CMA-ES and Bayesian Optimisation (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In evolutionary robot systems where morphologies and controllers of real robots are simultaneously evolved, it is clear that there is likely to be requirements to refine the inherited controller of a ‘newborn’ robot in order to better align it to its...

Fuzzy tuned PID controller for vibration control of agricultural manipulator (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Image-based phenotyping systems have evolved over the years, and become an integral part of crop and plant science research. Phenotyping systems provide great potential to deliver critical insights, than the conventional destructive field methods. St...

Analyzing kinetic signaling data for G-protein-coupled receptors (2020)
Journal Article

In classical pharmacology, bioassay data are fit to general equations (e.g. the dose response equation) to determine empirical drug parameters (e.g. EC50 and Emax), which are then used to calculate chemical parameters such as affinity and efficacy. H... Read More about Analyzing kinetic signaling data for G-protein-coupled receptors.

Ballistic protective properties of material representative of English civil war buff-coats and clothing (2020)
Journal Article

One type of clothing system used in the English Civil War, more common amongst cavalrymen than infantrymen, was the linen shirt, wool waistcoat and buff-coat. Ballistic testing was conducted to estimate the velocity at which 50% of 12-bore lead spher...

Journal Article

Deep 3D face recognition using 3D data augmentation and transfer learning (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Abstract. Deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) have achieved humancomparable performance on challenging 2D face databases, outperforming all previous shallow methods. However, current 3D face recognition research still focuses on non-deep-learn... Read More about Deep 3D face recognition using 3D data augmentation and transfer learning.

Integrated supply–demand energy management for optimal design of off-grid hybrid renewable energy systems for residential electrification in arid climates (2020)
Journal Article

The growing research interest in hybrid renewable energy systems (HRESs) has been regarded as a natural and yet critical response to address the challenge of rural electrification. Based on a Bibliometric analysis performed by authors, it was conclud...

Algorithms for U-model-based dynamic inversion (UM-dynamic inversion) for continuous time control systems (2020)
Journal Article

To setup a universal proper user toolbox from previous individual research publications, this study generalises the algorithms for the U-model dynamic inversion based on the realisation of U-model from polynomial and state-space described continuous-...
