Copyright © 2011 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd. This paper presents the analysis and design of the direct power control of a boost PWM rectifier based on sliding mode control. In the aim to improve control performance of the rectifier, the proposed ap... Read More about Direct power control of the PWM rectifier using sliding mode control.

Noninteracting adaptive control of PMSM using interval type-2 fuzzy logic systems (2011)
Journal Article
Tlemçani, A., Barkat, S., & Nouri, H. (2011). Noninteracting adaptive control of PMSM using interval type-2 fuzzy logic systems. IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems, 19(5), 925-936. https://doi.org/10.1109/TFUZZ.2011.2152815

Based on the type-2 fuzzy logic systems and adaptive control theory, this paper develops a decentralized adaptive fuzzy controller for a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The adaptive law is designed to compensate for the interconnection eff... Read More about Noninteracting adaptive control of PMSM using interval type-2 fuzzy logic systems.

Time-course of attentional bias for threat-related cues in patients with chronic daily headache-tension type: Evidence for the role of anger (2011)
Journal Article
Schoth, D. E., Liossi, C., & White, P. (2011). Time-course of attentional bias for threat-related cues in patients with chronic daily headache-tension type: Evidence for the role of anger. European Journal of Pain, 15(1), 92-98. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejpain.2010.05.008

This study investigated the role of anger in attentional bias for linguistic threat-related stimuli in individuals with chronic daily headache (CDH) tension type and healthy controls. Attentional bias was assessed using a visual probe task which pres...

Virtual reality has achieved an adequate level of development for it to be considered in innovative applications such as education, training, and research in higher education. Virtual reality offers both opportunities and challenges for the education... Read More about Virtual reality in engineering education: The future of creative learning.

Nurse rescheduling with shift preferences and minimal disruption (2011)
Journal Article
Clark, A., & Walker, H. (2011). Nurse rescheduling with shift preferences and minimal disruption

Hospital wards must be staffed 24 hours a day by a limited number of nurses. With a well documented shortage of nurses in many countries, effective scheduling of nurse shifts is crucial. Recent research on nurse scheduling has focused on creating... Read More about Nurse rescheduling with shift preferences and minimal disruption.

Numerical simulation of convective airflow in an empty room (2011)
Journal Article
Horikiri, K., Yao, Y., & Yao, J. (2011). Numerical simulation of convective airflow in an empty room. International Journal of Energy and Environment, 5(1), 574-581

Numerical simulation of airflow inside an empty room has been carried out for a forced convection, a natural convection and a mixed convection respectively, by using a computational fluid dynamics approach of solving the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stok...

Design for changeover (DFC): Enabling flexible and highly responsive manufacturing (2011)
Book Chapter
Owen, G. W., Matthews, J., McIntosh, R. I., & Culley, C. J. (2011). Design for changeover (DFC): Enabling flexible and highly responsive manufacturing. In F. Fogliatto, & G. da Silveira (Eds.), Mass Customization –Engineering and Managing Global Operations (247-273). UK: Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-84996-489-0_12

A highly flexible manufacturing capability is central to the paradigm of mass customisation. In turn the role of rapid, high quality changeovers is crucial to this capability, whereby production can be switched with minimal penalty across a full (and...

Improved fault analysis method based on a new arc resistance formula (2011)
Journal Article
Ćirić, R., Terzija, V. V., & Nouri, H. (2011). Improved fault analysis method based on a new arc resistance formula. IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery, 26(1), 120-126. https://doi.org/10.1109/TPWRD.2010.2076369

To calculate fault currents in distribution systems accurately, the fault model must include the electrical arc existing at the fault point, which plays an important role in the fault currents calculation. In existing approaches, the value of the arc... Read More about Improved fault analysis method based on a new arc resistance formula.

Compensation of illumination radiance in photometric stereo (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Sun, J. (2010, December). Compensation of illumination radiance in photometric stereo. Paper presented at 2010 IEEE The 3rd International Conference on Machine Vision, Hong Kong

This paper presents a new strategy to counter camouflage by capturing (one more) additional images of same scene. The strategy is based on a technique we call 'two-light photometric stereo', which can remove disruptive reflectance from luminance imag...
