Sliding mode control of a microsatellite attitude (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Attitude control of a micro-satellite is analyzed with sliding control method. With this method, attitude dynamics of satellite is robust against uncertainties and unknown disturbances. Nonlinear and coupled model in this paper is utilized and to pre... Read More about Sliding mode control of a microsatellite attitude.
Benchmarking energy consumption and CO2 emissions from rainwater-harvesting systems: An improved method by proxy (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Life cycle analyses (LCAs) show the main operational energy contribution for rainwater-harvesting (RWH) systems come from ultraviolet (UV) disinfection and pumping rainwater from tank to building. Simple methods of estimating pump energy consumption... Read More about Benchmarking energy consumption and CO2 emissions from rainwater-harvesting systems: An improved method by proxy.

Enhanced change detection performance reveals improved strategy use in avid action video game players (2010)
Journal Article
Recent research has shown that avid action video game players (VGPs) outperform non-video game players (NVGPs) on a variety of attentional and perceptual tasks. However, it remains unknown exactly why and how such differences arise; while some prior...

Description of Gibbsiella quercinecans gen. nov., sp. nov., associated with Acute Oak Decline (2010)
Journal Article
Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic bacterial strains were consistently isolated from oak trees displaying symptoms of extensive stem bleeding. In Britain, this disorder is called Acute Oak Decline (AOD). A similar condition has been noted on spec...

Autonomous morphogenesis in self-assembling robots using IR-based sensing and local communications (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
This paper presents a simple decentralised morphology control mechanism for a swarm of self-assembling robots. Each robot in the system is fully autonomous and controlled using a behaviour-based approach with only infrared-based local sensing and com...
