Conference Proceeding
Heppelmann, M., Bitzer, B., Morton, D., Virk, G. S., & Dogramadzi, S. (2006). Installation and first results of a solar assisted heat pump system. In Proceedings of the 41st International Universities Power Engineering Conference (153-156). https://doi.org/10.1109/UPEC.2006.367733

The importance of renewable energy resources are growing because of many reasons including the increasing costs of fossil fuels and the growing awareness of sustainability and environmental concerns. There are many different possibilities to use rene... Read More about Installation and first results of a solar assisted heat pump system.

Constraint-based approach to investigate the process flexibility of food processing equipment (2006)
Journal Article
Matthews, J., Singh, B., Mullineux, G., & Medland, T. (2006). Constraint-based approach to investigate the process flexibility of food processing equipment. Computers and Industrial Engineering, 51(4), 809-820. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cie.2006.09.003

Over the last decade the UK food processing industry has become increasing competitive. This leads the sector to maintain high numbers of product variations. Although some of these products are stable over long periods, others are short lived or seas...

This paper reports on the robot EcoBot-II, which is designed to power itself solely by converting unrefined insect biomass into useful energy using on-board microbial fuel cells with oxygen cathodes. In bench experiments different 'fuels' (sugar, fru... Read More about Energetically autonomous robots: Food for thought.

Tele-assembly in wide remote environments (2006)
Presentation / Conference
Peer, A., Unterhinninghofen, U., & Buss, M. (2006, October). Tele-assembly in wide remote environments. Paper presented at 2nd International Workshop on Human-Centered Robotic Systems, Munich, Germany

Telepresence offers considerable advantages in the remote execution of maintenance assignments. In this work a telepresence system is presented that allows to perform assembly tasks in remote and extensive environments. This system comprises a telema...

Sheet metal forming simulation using EAS solid-shell finite elements (2006)
Journal Article
Alves de Sousa, R. J., Natal Jorge, R. M., Fontes Valente, R. A., Parente, M., & Cardoso, R. P. (2006). Sheet metal forming simulation using EAS solid-shell finite elements. Finite Elements in Analysis and Design, 42(13), 1137-1149. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.finel.2006.04.005

In this paper, sheet metal forming processes are simulated with a solid-shell finite element entirely based on the enhanced assumed strain (EAS) method. The solid-shell formulation involves a minimum set of enhancing variables, resulting in a competi... Read More about Sheet metal forming simulation using EAS solid-shell finite elements.

Health professionals recommend education of patients about COPD. There is no satisfactory instrument to measure their knowledge and therefore to assess the results of education. A multiple-choice questionnaire (BCKQ) has been designed and tested. Eac... Read More about Bristol COPD knowledge questionnaire (BCKQ): Testing what we teach patients about COPD.
