Modelling and simulation of biased agonism dynamics at a G protein-coupled receptor (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 The Authors Theoretical models of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) concentration-response relationships often assume an agonist producing a single functional response via a single active state of the receptor. These models have largely been... Read More about Modelling and simulation of biased agonism dynamics at a G protein-coupled receptor.

Simulation-based internal models for safer robots (2018)
Journal Article

In this paper, we explore the potential of mobile robots with simulation-based internal models for safety in highly dynamic environments. We propose a robot with a simulation of itself, other dynamic actors and its environment, inside itself. Operati... Read More about Simulation-based internal models for safer robots.

Microbial fuel cell, method of controlling and measuring the redox potential difference of the fuel cell (2018)
Patent

A microbial fuel cell (MFC) in which the anode and/or cathode half-cell comprises at least one additional electrode insulated from direct contact with the working electrode and arranged to be coupled to an external voltage or current source, wherein...

Creep lifing models and techniques (2018)
Book Chapter

The deformation of structural alloys presents problems for power plants and aerospace applications due to the demand for elevated temperatures for higher efficiencies and reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. The materials used in such applications... Read More about Creep lifing models and techniques.

Bidirectional active control of structures with type-2 fuzzy PD and PID (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. Proportional-derivative and proportional-integral-derivative (PD/PID) controllers are popular algorithms in structure vibration control. In order to maintain minimum regulation error, th... Read More about Bidirectional active control of structures with type-2 fuzzy PD and PID.

On the common-mode and configuration-dependent stiffness control of multiple degrees of freedom hands (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2017 IEEE. Object manipulation using hands is a compelling topic in which the interaction forces play a key role. These influence the stability of the grasp and the dexterity of the hand manipulation. A well-known technique to modulate these forces...
