Transparency improved sliding-mode control design for bilateral teleoperation systems by using virtual manipulator concept (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper proposes a new methodology for designing sliding mode bilateral controllers based virtual manipulator concept that aims to reach the most transparency considering parameter uncertainties and disturbances. This method shows a modified schem... Read More about Transparency improved sliding-mode control design for bilateral teleoperation systems by using virtual manipulator concept.

On the estimation of temporal mileage rates (2013)
Journal Article

Mathematical and computational techniques are developed for the analysis of annual roadworthiness (MOT) test data that the UK Department for Transport has placed in the public domain. This paper develops a new theory to estimate fine-scale temporal (... Read More about On the estimation of temporal mileage rates.

Mitigating the Effect of Development on Bats in England with Derogation Licensing (2013)
Journal Article

The Convention on Biological Diversity has catalyzed worldwide awareness of threats to biological diversity and stimulated global conservation strategies. These have led to national and international legislation and have generated debate about the mo... Read More about Mitigating the Effect of Development on Bats in England with Derogation Licensing.

Multiuser scheduling on the LTE downlink with meta-heuristic approaches (2013)
Journal Article

In this paper, the issue of multi-user radio resource scheduling on the downlink of a Long Term Evolution (LTE) cellular communication system is addressed. An optimization model has been proposed earlier, where radio resources for multiple users are... Read More about Multiuser scheduling on the LTE downlink with meta-heuristic approaches.

Enhancing dissemination in selective eating disorders prevention: An investigation of voluntary participation among female university students (2013)
Journal Article

Maximising dissemination of efficacious psychological interventions is an important undertaking, particularly in prevention work where the target population may not be seeking help. Consequently, the current study investigated voluntary participation...

The demise of strategic planning? the impact of the abolition of Regional Spatial Strategy in a growth region (2013)
Journal Article

Strategic planning has long been at the heart of the post-war statutory planning framework. From 1968, this took the form of structure plans. In 2004, however, these were replaced by Regional Spatial Strategies (RSS). Then in May 2010, the Conservati...
