Coarsening of equiaxed microstructure in the semisolid state of aluminum 7075 alloy through SIMA processing (2011)
Journal Article

In the present study, the coarsening mechanism of equiaxed grains in the semisolid state of aluminum 7075 alloy, treated via strain induced melting activation process, was investigated. The kinetics of equiaxed grain growth in the semisolid state of... Read More about Coarsening of equiaxed microstructure in the semisolid state of aluminum 7075 alloy through SIMA processing.

Hierarchies of adaptable learning during product development (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Shorter product lifecycles, shrinking time-to-market and increasing global competition, drive companies to premature transitions from the development laboratory to full-scale commercial production. This ramp-up period is usually considered as a trans... Read More about Hierarchies of adaptable learning during product development.

Bridging the multiple reality gap: Application of augmented reality in new product development (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Increased product complexity and internal team dynamics pose serious challenges to the quality of collaboration, usually reflected upon long delays, cost overruns and poor design quality during product development. Our focus is to study the factors t... Read More about Bridging the multiple reality gap: Application of augmented reality in new product development.

Automobility in transition?: A socio-technical analysis of sustainable transport (2011)
Book

Private cars have become the dominant mode of passenger road transport in developed countries. This book examines the past evolution towards car-based forms of transport: problems associated with it, the success of past and current efforts to deal wi...

Reinforcement learning based radio resource scheduling in LTE-advanced (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this paper, a novel radio resource scheduling policy for Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-A) radio access technology in downlink acceptance is proposed. The scheduling process works with dispatching rules which are various with different behavior... Read More about Reinforcement learning based radio resource scheduling in LTE-advanced.

A model-driven privacy compliance decision support for medical data sharing in Europe (2011)
Journal Article

Objectives: Clinical practitioners and medical researchers often have to share health data with other colleagues across Europe. Privacy compliance in this context is very important but challenging. Automated privacy guidelines are a practical way of... Read More about A model-driven privacy compliance decision support for medical data sharing in Europe.

Multiple models to inform climate change policy: A pragmatic response to the 'beyond the ABC' debate (2011)
Journal Article

We have followed with interest the debate in this journal between Shove (2010; 2011) and Whitmarsh & colleagues (2011) on contrasting theoretical approaches and representations of pro-environmental behaviour and social change, and of the potential, r...

Quantification of unfractionated heparin in human plasma and whole blood by means of novel fluorogenic anti-FXa assays (2011)
Journal Article

Novel and sensitive plate-based fluorogenic anti-factor Xa (FXa) assays were investigated to quantify unfractionated heparin (UFH) in human plasma and whole blood within the therapeutic ranges of 0-1.6. U/mL and 0-0.8. U/mL, respectively. Two fluorog... Read More about Quantification of unfractionated heparin in human plasma and whole blood by means of novel fluorogenic anti-FXa assays.

Development of an amperometric, screen-printed, single-enzyme phosphate ion biosensor and its application to the analysis of biomedical and environmental samples (2011)
Journal Article

An amperometric phosphate biosensor, based on a cobalt phthalocyanine screen-printed carbon electrode (CoPC-SPCE) is described. The immobilisation of the enzyme pyruvate oxidase (PyOd) was investigated using pre-formed cellulose acetate/cellulose nit...

Successfully giving up driving for older people (2011)
Preprint / Working Paper

Older people as a cohort are more healthy and active than ever before and as such are also more mobile. They are more likely than ever before to be car users and be driving more miles. Nevertheless, many older people, for one reason or another often... Read More about Successfully giving up driving for older people.
