Psychosocial outcomes derived from an acid burned population in Bangladesh, and comparison with Western norms (2006)
Journal Article
Salmanta, S., Mannan, A., Ghani, S., Clarke, A., White, P., & Butler, P. E. (2006). Psychosocial outcomes derived from an acid burned population in Bangladesh, and comparison with Western norms. Burns, 32(2), 235-241. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.burns.2005.08.027

Assault by acid burns typically results in severe disfigurement, yet the psychosocial impact of this injury is so far unreported. This study provides the first empirical data using standardised assessment scales, from 44 acid burns survivors in Bangl...

This paper presents a design methodology for a class of behaviour-based control systems, arguing its potential for application to safety critical systems. We propose a formal basis for subsumption architecture design based on two extensions to Lyapun... Read More about A methodology for provably stable behaviour-based intelligent control.

A constraint-based modelling approach, to assess the capability of food processing equipment to handle product variation (2006)
Book Chapter
Matthews, J., Singh, B., Medland, A. J., & Mullineux, G. (2006). A constraint-based modelling approach, to assess the capability of food processing equipment to handle product variation. In R. Rohatyski, & P. Polednik (Eds.), Design methods for practice (95-104). Zielona Gora, Poland: Design Society

For design and development engineers, difficulties arise ensuring that existing manufacturing equipment has the potential to handle both large product variation and complexity of process. The food processing industry maintains the highest number of p...

Constraint modelling as a means for understanding the limitations of a design and its performance (2006)
Book Chapter
Matthews, J., Singh, B., Medland, A. J., Mullineux, G., & Hicks, B. (2006). Constraint modelling as a means for understanding the limitations of a design and its performance. In S. Tichkiewitch, & M. Tollenaere (Eds.), Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Integrated Design and Manufacturing in Mechanical Engineering, IDMME 2006. AIP-PRIMECA

When new design tasks are undertaken, knowledge of the design area is often ill-understood and the appropriate design rules are unclear. What are more apparent are the constraints which place limits upon the allowable forms of feasible design. This p...

A high performance fuzzy logic architecture for UAV decision making (2006)
Presentation / Conference
Wu, P. P., Narayan, P. P., Campbell, D. A., Lees, M., & Walker, R. A. (2006, January). A high performance fuzzy logic architecture for UAV decision making. Paper presented at IASTED International Conference on Computational Intelligence, San Francisco

The majority of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in operation today are not truly autonomous, but are instead reliant on a remote human pilot. A high degree of autonomy can provide many advantages in terms of cost, operational resources and safety. Ho... Read More about A high performance fuzzy logic architecture for UAV decision making.

On the response of shock-induced separation bubble to small amplitude disturbances (2005)
