Improved water pumping station supply systems (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The electrical grid experiences high demand during peak energy times (Triads) and so financial penalty charges are applied to discourage large industrial consumers. Onsite power generation through employment of gas engines mitigated during ‘Triad’ pe... Read More about Improved water pumping station supply systems.

Bearing and bearing-bypass of pseudo-ductile thin-ply carbon/ glass hybrids (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The aim of this work was to investigate the bearing and bearing-bypass behaviour of thin ply pseudo-ductile carbon/glass hybrid laminates in tension. Therefore, a series of tests were performed based on ASTM D7248/D7248M–12 on a Quasi Isotropic (QI)... Read More about Bearing and bearing-bypass of pseudo-ductile thin-ply carbon/ glass hybrids.

An outlier in an independent samples design (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

There is a flaw with some of the most commonly performed statistical tests. A paradox of the one sample t-test is the contrariwise decrease in the p-value as the value of an outlier increases in the direction of the overall effect. Demonstration of t...

Anode surface modification with activated carbon for improved power generation in urine fed Microbial Fuel Cells (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) utilise organic feedstocks such as urine as fuel for direct electricity production, by employing anode respiring microbes that convert organic matter into electrons while treating waste. One possible approach to bring this... Read More about Anode surface modification with activated carbon for improved power generation in urine fed Microbial Fuel Cells.

A method for bidirectional active vibration control of structure using discrete-time sliding mode (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2018 In this paper, a novel discrete-time sliding mode control is proposed in order to attenuate structural vibration due to earthquake forces. The analysis is based on the lateral-torsional vibration under the bidirectional waves. The proposed fuz...

Lyapunov observer/controller for stable haptic interaction (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2018 IEEE. Passivity has been the most common tool to achieve stability in haptic and teleoperation systems; however passivity-based approaches suffer from the conservativism of passivity criteria. Therefore, it is essential to have an approach whi... Read More about Lyapunov observer/controller for stable haptic interaction.

Mapping Intelligence: Requirements and Possibilities (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2018. New types of artificial intelligence (AI), from cognitive assistants to social robots, are challenging meaningful comparison with other kinds of intelligence. How can such intelligent systems be catalogued, eval... Read More about Mapping Intelligence: Requirements and Possibilities.

Applications of lot sizing (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Lot-sizing lies traditionally in the manufacturing sector, but it is applicable not just to related areas such as process industries and supply chains, but also to innovative areas such as humanitarian logistics. We look at some of the applications t... Read More about Applications of lot sizing.

Ethical considerations of (contextually) affective robot behaviour (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The use of social robots can bring many benefits, but raises ethical concerns as well. One of these concerns, emotional deception, was investigated in this research. First, affective robot behaviour is validated, followed by a user study to investiga... Read More about Ethical considerations of (contextually) affective robot behaviour.

Fuzzy modeling for uncertain nonlinear systems using fuzzy equations and Z-numbers (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019. In this paper, the uncertainty property is represented by Z-number as the coefficients and variables of the fuzzy equation. This modification for the fuzzy equation is suitable for nonlinear system modeling with... Read More about Fuzzy modeling for uncertain nonlinear systems using fuzzy equations and Z-numbers.
