Integrated capacitated lot sizing and scheduling problems in a flexible flow line (2013)
Thesis
Mahdieh, M. Integrated capacitated lot sizing and scheduling problems in a flexible flow line. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/928579

The lot sizing and scheduling problem in a Flexible Flow Line (FFL) has extensive real-world applications in many industries. An FFL consists of several production stages in series with parallel machines at each stage. The decisions to be taken are t...

Sub-millilitre microbial fuel cell power for soft robots (2013)
Conference Proceeding
Philamore, H., Rossiter, J., & Ieropoulos, I. (2013). Sub-millilitre microbial fuel cell power for soft robots. In N. Lepora, A. Mura, H. Krapp, P. Verschure, & T. Prescott (Eds.), Lecture Notes in Computer Science. , (424-426). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-39802-5_55

Conventional rigid-body robots operate using actuators which differ markedly from the compliant, muscular bodies of biological organisms that generate their energy through organic metabolism. We consider an 'artificial stomach' comprised of a single... Read More about Sub-millilitre microbial fuel cell power for soft robots.

The initial robustness analysis of designed U-pole placement control systems (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Peng, Y., Liu, X., Zhu, Q., Xu, F., & Zhao, D. (2013, August). The initial robustness analysis of designed U-pole placement control systems. Paper presented at 2013 International Conference of Modelling, Identification & Control (ICMIC), Cairo, Egypt

In this study, an initial robust stability analysis procedure is proposed to test the performance of the designed U-pole placement control systems. Unlike the classical design procedures for non-linear control systems, the control-oriented U-model b... Read More about The initial robustness analysis of designed U-pole placement control systems.

FEA support structure generation for the additive manufacture of CastForm™ polystyrene patterns (2013)
Journal Article
Soe, S., & Eyers, D. R. (2014). FEA support structure generation for the additive manufacture of CastForm™ polystyrene patterns. Polymer Testing, 33(1), 187-197. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.polymertesting.2013.08.009

Understanding the nature of part failure when using CastForm™ material for pattern generation is essential in the development of failure avoidance practices. Currently, many approaches employed in both research and industry rely on the use of physica...

BRDF estimation for faces from a sparse dataset using a neural network (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Hansen, M. F., Atkinson, G., & Smith, M. (2013, August). BRDF estimation for faces from a sparse dataset using a neural network. Paper presented at Computer Analysis of Images and Patterns, CAIP 2013, York, UK

We present a novel �ve source near-infrared photometric stereo 3D face capture device. The accuracy of the system is demonstrated by a comparison with ground truth from a commercial 3D scanner. We also use the data from the �ve captured images to mo... Read More about BRDF estimation for faces from a sparse dataset using a neural network.

High power generation by a membraneless single chamber microbial fuel cell (SCMFC) using enzymatic bilirubin oxidase (BOx) air-breathing cathode (2013)
Journal Article
Santoro, C., Babanova, S., Atanassov, P., Li, B., Ieropoulos, I., & Cristiani, P. (2013). High power generation by a membraneless single chamber microbial fuel cell (SCMFC) using enzymatic bilirubin oxidase (BOx) air-breathing cathode. Journal of The Electrochemical Society, 160(10), 720-726. https://doi.org/10.1149/2.058310jes

In this work, for the first time, we showed the successful utilization of enzymatic-based (bilirubin oxidase, BOx) air-breathing gas-diffusion (ABGD-BOx) cathode in membraneless single chamber microbial fuel cells (SCMFCs). At pH range of 7.2-7.5, th... Read More about High power generation by a membraneless single chamber microbial fuel cell (SCMFC) using enzymatic bilirubin oxidase (BOx) air-breathing cathode.
