Journal Article
Hu, J., Cao, W., Yuan, X., Chen, X., Duan, Q., Yuan, T., & Zhu, Q. (2017). Coordinated control of a wind-methanol-fuel cell system with hydrogen storage. Energies, 10(12), 2053. https://doi.org/10.3390/en10122053

This paper presents a wind-methanol-fuel cell system with hydrogen storage. It can manage various energy flow to provide stable wind power supply, produce constant methanol, and reduce CO2 emissions. Firstly, this study establishes the theoretical ba... Read More about Coordinated control of a wind-methanol-fuel cell system with hydrogen storage.

Non-invasive parameter for assessing urine flow rate in frequency domain to differentiate detrusor underactivity with bladder outlet obstruction in male (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Lli, R., Gammie, A., Zhu, Q., & Nibouche, M. (2017, November). Non-invasive parameter for assessing urine flow rate in frequency domain to differentiate detrusor underactivity with bladder outlet obstruction in male. Presented at Incontinence XI: The Engineering Challenge, London, England

To differentiate Detrusor underactivity (DU) with bladder outlet obstruction (BOO), we have assessed free urine flow in frequency domain, and proposed median power frequency (MPF) as a potential urodynamic indicator for diagnosing DU. As a continuat... Read More about Non-invasive parameter for assessing urine flow rate in frequency domain to differentiate detrusor underactivity with bladder outlet obstruction in male.

Mathematical analysis on urine flow traces for non-invasive diagnosis of Detrusor underactivity in men (2017)
Journal Article
Li, R., Gammie, A., Zhu, Q., & Nibouche, M. (2017). Mathematical analysis on urine flow traces for non-invasive diagnosis of Detrusor underactivity in men. Neurourology and Urodynamics, 36(S3), 87-88

Detrusor underactivity (DU) is still largely under researched and can only be diagnosed by invasive pressure flow studies (PFS). Theoretically, the flow shape of DU is different from bladder outlet obstruction (BOO), but in practice PFS is the only g...
