Design for changeover (DFC): Enabling flexible and highly responsive manufacturing (2011)
Book Chapter
Owen, G. W., Matthews, J., McIntosh, R. I., & Culley, C. J. (2011). Design for changeover (DFC): Enabling flexible and highly responsive manufacturing. In F. Fogliatto, & G. da Silveira (Eds.), Mass Customization –Engineering and Managing Global Operations (247-273). UK: Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-84996-489-0_12

A highly flexible manufacturing capability is central to the paradigm of mass customisation. In turn the role of rapid, high quality changeovers is crucial to this capability, whereby production can be switched with minimal penalty across a full (and...

Correlating plagiocephaly skull deformations with facial asymmetry using projected pattern 3D imaging (2010)
Book Chapter
Atkinson, G., Smith, M., Smith, L., & Warr, R. (2010). Correlating plagiocephaly skull deformations with facial asymmetry using projected pattern 3D imaging. In A. Hierlemann (Ed.), Proceedings of the 7th IASTED International Conference: Biomedical Engineering (BioMED 2010) February 17-19, 2010 Innsbruck, Austria (249-256). Acta Press

In this paper, we present a statistical study into skull deformations caused by positional plagiocephaly. We also consider the hardware used for the assessment of both severity and treatment. State-of-the-art external imaging hardware is employed to... Read More about Correlating plagiocephaly skull deformations with facial asymmetry using projected pattern 3D imaging.

Modeling and simulation of inverse agonism dynamics (2010)
Book Chapter
Bridge, L. (2010). Modeling and simulation of inverse agonism dynamics. In Constitutive Activity in Receptors and Other Proteins, Part B (559-582). Elsevier. https://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-12-381296-4.00029-4

With the recent discovery and increased recognition of constitutive activity of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) and inverse agonists have come a number of important questions. The signaling mechanisms underlying inverse agonist effects on constit... Read More about Modeling and simulation of inverse agonism dynamics.

Towards accelerated distributed evolution for adaptive behaviours in swarm robotics (2010)
Book Chapter
O'Dowd, P., Winfield, A. F., & Studley, M. (2010). Towards accelerated distributed evolution for adaptive behaviours in swarm robotics. In T. Belpaeme, G. Bugmann, C. Melhuish, & M. Witkowski (Eds.), Proceedings of Towards Autonomous Robotic Systems 2010 (169-175). University of Plymouth

The major problem facing swarm robotics is that of design. A recent promising approach is the application of evolutionary algorithms to solve the problem of decomposing group behaviour to that of interacting individual behaviours. This paper presents...
