Complexity reduction in the H.264/AVC using highly adaptive fast mode decision based on macroblock motion activity (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 SPIE and IS and T. The H.264/AVC video coding standard is used in a wide range of applications from video conferencing to high-definition television according to its high compression efficiency. This efficiency is mainly acquired from the newl... Read More about Complexity reduction in the H.264/AVC using highly adaptive fast mode decision based on macroblock motion activity.

Long term individual load forecast under different electrical vehicles uptake scenarios (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 Elsevier Ltd. More and more households are purchasing electric vehicles (EVs), and this will continue as we move towards a low carbon future. There are various projections as to the rate of EV uptake, but all predict an increase over the next...

Characterisation and description of compressible rubbery materials for component modelling (2015)
Thesis

Rubbery foams and similar highly compressible rubbery solids form an important class of materials for technology. In order for components made from such materials to be modelled, in Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for example, appropriate constitutive...

Fault-tolerant generator telecontrol over a microgrid IP network (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2015 IEEE. The liberalization of the energy markets, combined with the drive towards a low-carbon economy, has led to the development of the concept of the smart grid. The smart grid is an energy distribution network that enables real-time informat... Read More about Fault-tolerant generator telecontrol over a microgrid IP network.

Physiologically-inspired self-regulation for Factory Automation: Towards Artificial Homeostasis for Shopfloors (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2015 IEEE. Many Factory Automation Systems (FASs) are been increasingly required to provide 24/7 in-service operation. This demands increasingly-higher levels of autonomy, and makes FAS control architectures include extra regulating capabilities in...

Capacidade de absorção e Inovação aberta na Indústria de cosméticos brasileira (portuguese) (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

There is a growing interest in the concepts and practices of open innovation and especially with regard to the role played by involved in these practices. This requires a more in-depth knowledge of the concepts, since the fundamental basis of any ope...

A simple assumed-strain quadrilateral shell element for finite strains and fracture (2015)
Journal Article

© 2014, Springer-Verlag London. This work recovers an established technique for improving quadrilateral shell element performance in both out-of-plane and in-plane bending cases using a mixed formulation. A four-field variational principle is establi... Read More about A simple assumed-strain quadrilateral shell element for finite strains and fracture.

Design of sliding mode controllers for formation flying along unstable periodic orbits in CR3BP (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Recently formation flying along halo orbits near a libration point or simply formation flying in the vicinity of a libration point of the circular-restricted three-body problem (CR3BP) has been studied from the point of view of future missions such a...
