Outcomes from stimulation of the caudal zona incerta and pedunculopontine nucleus in patients with Parkinson's disease (2011)
Journal Article

Introduction. Axial symptoms including postural instability, falls and failure of gait initiation are some of the most disabling motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). We performed bilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the pedunculopontine n...

The overshoot phenomenon as a function of internal resistance in microbial fuel cells (2011)
Journal Article

A method for assessing the performance of microbial fuel cells (MFCs) is the polarisation sweep where different external resistances are applied at set intervals (sample rates). The resulting power curves often exhibit an overshoot where both power a... Read More about The overshoot phenomenon as a function of internal resistance in microbial fuel cells.

The implementation of a direct search approach for the resolution of complex and changing rule-based problems (2011)
Journal Article

During the evolution of constraint modeling approaches, they have increased in their ability to resolve more and more complex problems. They all rely upon their ability to define the design problem by a set of constraint rules, which are true when th...

Power for robotic artificial muscles (2011)
Journal Article

Artificial muscles based on the dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA) are an attractive technology for autonomous robotic systems. We are currently exploring their use on EcoBot (Ecological roBot), an autonomous robot being developed by Bristol Robotic... Read More about Power for robotic artificial muscles.

Improved fault analysis method based on a new arc resistance formula (2011)
Journal Article

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.

Virtual reality in engineering education: The future of creative learning (2011)

Design for changeover (DFC): Enabling flexible and highly responsive manufacturing (2011)
Book Chapter

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...

Noninteracting adaptive control of PMSM using interval type-2 fuzzy logic systems (2011)
Journal Article

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.

Nurse rescheduling with shift preferences and minimal disruption (2011)
Journal Article

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.
