Embedding human expert cognition into autonomous UAS trajectory planning (2013)
Journal Article
Campbell, D., Narayan, P., Meyer, P., & Campbell, D. A. (2013). Embedding human expert cognition into autonomous UAS trajectory planning. IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics, 43(2), 530-541. https://doi.org/10.1109/TSMCB.2012.2211349

This paper presents a new approach for the inclusion of human expert cognition into autonomous trajectory planning for unmanned aerial systems (UASs) operating in low-altitude environments. During typical UAS operations, multiple objectives may exist... Read More about Embedding human expert cognition into autonomous UAS trajectory planning.

Convergence to equilibrium in degenerate parabolic equations with delay (2013)
Journal Article
Laister, R., & Laister, R. (2013). Convergence to equilibrium in degenerate parabolic equations with delay. Nonlinear Analysis: Theory, Methods and Applications, 81, 200-210. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.na.2012.10.019

© 2012 Elsevier Ltd In [11], Busenberg & Huang (1996) showed that small positive equilibria can undergo supercritical Hopf bifurcation in a delay-logistic reaction–diffusion equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Consequently, stable spatially... Read More about Convergence to equilibrium in degenerate parabolic equations with delay.

Infrared Spectroscopic Studies of Cells and Tissues: Triple Helix Proteins as a Potential Biomarker for Tumors (2013)
Journal Article
Stelling, A. L., Toher, D., Uckermann, O., Tavkin, J., Leipnitz, E., Schweizer, J., …Kirsch, M. (2013). Infrared Spectroscopic Studies of Cells and Tissues: Triple Helix Proteins as a Potential Biomarker for Tumors. PLoS ONE, 8(3), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0058332

In this work, the infrared (IR) spectra of living neural cells in suspension, native brain tissue, and native brain tumor tissue were investigated. Methods were developed to overcome the strong IR signal of liquid water so that the signal from the ce...

An output code offset-free comparator for SAR ADCs based on non-linear preamplifier and CMOS inverters (2013)
Journal Article
Yue, X., Krapp, H. G., & Drakakis, E. M. (2013). An output code offset-free comparator for SAR ADCs based on non-linear preamplifier and CMOS inverters. Microelectronics Journal, 44(5), 414-420. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mejo.2013.02.011

The Tanh transfer function of the differential pair operating in weak inversion is employed to implement the non-linear pre-amplification for the comparator of the SAR ADC. This non-linear preamplifier achieves a low gain for large input signals ther...

Addressing the problem of queue scheduling for the packet-switched system is a vital aspect of congestion control. In this paper, the fuzzy logic based decision method is adopted for queue scheduling in order to enforce some level of control for traf...

Modelling manufacturing deformations in corner sections made of composite materials (2013)
Journal Article
Çinar, K., Wisnom, M. R., Çınar, K., Öztürk, U. E., Ersoy, N., & Wisnom, M. R. (2014). Modelling manufacturing deformations in corner sections made of composite materials. Journal of Composite Materials, 48(7), 799-813. https://doi.org/10.1177/0021998313477896

A three-step finite element model has been implemented to predict the spring-in of L-shaped parts. The material property development during the cure has been modelled as step changes during transitions between viscous, rubbery and glassy states of th...
