Air-breathing cathode self-powered supercapacitive microbial fuel cell with human urine as electrolyte (2020)
Journal Article

In this work, a membraneless microbial fuel cell (MFC) with an empty volume of 1.5 mL, fed continuously with hydrolysed urine, was tested in supercapacitive mode (SC-MFC). In order to enhance the power output, a double strategy was used: i) a double...

Optical Imaging Technology In Colonoscopy - Is There A Role For Photometric Stereo (2020)
Journal Article

Abstract
Colonoscopy screening for the detection and removal of colonic adenomas is central to efforts to reduce the morbidity and mortality of colorectal cancer. However, up to a third of adenomas may be missed at colonoscopy, and the majority of p... Read More about Optical Imaging Technology In Colonoscopy - Is There A Role For Photometric Stereo.

A new method for urine electrofiltration and long term power enhancement using surface modified anodes with activated carbon in ceramic microbial fuel cells (2020)
Journal Article

This work is presenting for the first time the use of inexpensive and efficient anode material for boosting power production, as well as improving electrofiltration of human urine in tubular microbial fuel cells (MFCs). The MFCs were constructed usin...

Neural-learning-based force sensorless admittance control for robots with input deadzone (2020)
Journal Article

This paper presents a neural networks based admittance control scheme for robotic manipulators when interacting with the unknown environment in the presence of the actuator deadzone without needing force sensing. A compliant behaviour of robotic mani... Read More about Neural-learning-based force sensorless admittance control for robots with input deadzone.

Adaptive dynamic programming-based controller with admittance adaptation for robot–environment interaction (2020)
Journal Article

The problem of optimal tracking control for robot–environment interaction is studied in this article. The environment is regarded as a linear system and an admittance control with iterative linear quadratic regulator method is obtained to guarantee t...

Using e-assessment to address mathematical misconceptions in engineering students (2020)
Journal Article

Students, when answering a mathematical question, may make a mistake in their answer for a variety of reasons. For example, not reading the question properly, making a mistake due to carelessness or due to a mathematical misconception. It is this l...
