Fade to Green: A Biodegradable Stack of Microbial Fuel Cells (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim. The focus of this study is the development of biodegradable microbial fuel cells (MFCs) able to produce useful power. Reactors with an 8mL chamber volume were designed using all biodegradable produ... Read More about Fade to Green: A Biodegradable Stack of Microbial Fuel Cells.

DNS of transitional and turbulent flow simulations (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

An in-house direct numerical simulation (DNS) code SBLI has been developed and used extensively for high-performance computation (HPC) of transitional and turbulent flows, most related to shock/boundary-layer interaction problems. The code has also p... Read More about DNS of transitional and turbulent flow simulations.

CFD of air/water two-phase flow in small horizontal pipe (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has been applied to investigate air/water two-phase flow characteristics in an 8.8mm I.D small horizontal pipe. Simulation has successfully predicted water film thickness using newly developed user defined wave func... Read More about CFD of air/water two-phase flow in small horizontal pipe.

LES of hypersonic flow over a 3D single-fin (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

LES of hypersonic flow passing a 3D single-fin at Mach 5 and Re∞=3.7×107/m was conducted using a newly developed 7th-order low-dissipation monotonicity-preserving NS solver with dynamic Smagorinsky subgrid model. The simulation captures salient flow... Read More about LES of hypersonic flow over a 3D single-fin.

Systematic analysis of video data from different human-robot interaction studies: A categorisation of social signals during error situations (2015)
Journal Article

Human–robot interactions are often affected by error situations that are caused by either the robot or the human. Therefore, robots would profit from the ability to recognize when error situations occur. We investigated the verbal and non-verbal soci...

How ants use quorum sensing to estimate the average quality of a fluctuating resource (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015, Nature Publishing Group. All rights reserved. We show that one of the advantages of quorum-based decision-making is an ability to estimate the average value of a resource that fluctuates in quality. By using a quorum threshold, namely the num...

Influence of exposure guidelines on the design of on-body inductive power transfer (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Designers of on-body health sensing devices with inductive power transfer (IPT) face a number of trade-offs. Safe exposure limits should be maintained, and protective housing and padding are generally needed; however, these impose compromises on the...

Towards model-based robot behaviour adaptation: Successful human-robot collaboration in tense and stressful situations (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2015 IEEE. In a demanding environment such as search and rescue, where human-robot collaboration provides potential benefits, understanding complex human behaviour will promote greater success. We propose that robots need to be equipped with embodi... Read More about Towards model-based robot behaviour adaptation: Successful human-robot collaboration in tense and stressful situations.

Bridging eHealth and the Internet of Things: The SPHERE Project (2015)
Journal Article

There is a widely-accepted need to revise current forms of healthcare provision. Of particular interest are sensing systems in the home, which have been central to a number of studies in this area. This paper presents an overview of this rapidly grow... Read More about Bridging eHealth and the Internet of Things: The SPHERE Project.
