Experimental and computation assessment of thermomechanical effects during auxetic foam fabrication (2020)
Journal Article

Auxetic foams continue to interest researchers owing to their unique and enhanced properties. Existing studies attest to the importance of fabrication mechanisms and parameters. However, disparity in thermo-mechanical parameters has left much debat... Read More about Experimental and computation assessment of thermomechanical effects during auxetic foam fabrication.

Application of the direct power control strategy in a shunt active filter by exploiting the solar photovoltaic energy as a continuous source (2020)
Journal Article

In order to follow the standard recommendations of the electrical energy quality (IEEE519) on the distribution network, the active filter have responded to these recommendations, which require that the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) must be less tha...

Effect of microbial fuel cell operation time on the disinfection efficacy of electrochemically synthesised catholyte from urine (2020)
Journal Article

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) offer an excellent solution to tackle some of the major challenges currently faced by humankind: sustainable energy sources, waste management and water stress. Besides treating wastewater and producing useful electricity f...

A probabilistic shared-control framework for mobile robots (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Full teleoperation of mobile robots during the execution of complex tasks not only demands high cognitive and physical effort but also generates less optimal trajectories compared to autonomous controllers. However, the use of the latter in cluttered... Read More about A probabilistic shared-control framework for mobile robots.

Engaging young people as active citizens and citizen scientists (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The climate emergency and air pollution sit alongside the biodiversity and ecological crises as the most pressing issues of this generation. Inextricably linked to these environmental problems is social justice; poorer and vulnerable people, and thos... Read More about Engaging young people as active citizens and citizen scientists.

Learning compliant robotic movements based on biomimetic motor adaptation (2020)
Journal Article

It is one of the great challenges for a robot to learn compliant movements in interaction tasks. The robot can easily acquire motion skills from a human tutor by kinematics demonstration, however, this becomes much more difficult when it comes to the...

Robots in Smart Cities (2020)
Book Chapter

Robots and Smart Cities seem like natural partners. They both gather data and process it, and could provide added value to each other in a variety of ways. In this chapter, we briefly explore some potential use cases featuring the smart city as an in... Read More about Robots in Smart Cities.

Exposure to early childhood maltreatment and its effect over time on social cognition (2020)
Journal Article

Social cognitive deficits can have many negative consequences, spanning social withdrawal to psychopathology. Prior work has shown that child maltreatment may associate with poorer social cognitive skills in later life. However, no studies have exami...

Daily medical liaison is associated with reduced length of stay and complications in selected patients admitted to a regional vascular surgery service (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Older adults undergoing vascular surgery are particularly vulnerable to adverse outcomes by virtue of their vascular risk factors and medical comorbidities. This study aimed to determine the i...

A computer vision approach to improving cattle digestive health by the monitoring of faecal samples (2020)
Journal Article

The digestive health of cows is one of the primary factors that determine their well-being and productivity. Under- and over-feeding are both commonplace in the beef and dairy industry; leading to welfare issues, negative environmental impacts, and e...
