An improved adaptive online neural control for robot manipulator systems using integral Barrier Lyapunov functions (2019)
Journal Article

Conventional Neural Network (NN) control for robots uses radial basis function (RBF) and for n-link robot with online control, the number of nodes and weighting matrix increases exponentially, which requires a number of calculations to be performed w...

Multispectral imaging for presymptomatic analysis of light leaf spot in oilseed rape (2019)
Journal Article

Background: The use of spectral imaging within the plant phenotyping and breeding community has been increasing due its utility as a non-invasive diagnostic tool. However, there is a lack of imaging systems targeted specifically at plant science duti... Read More about Multispectral imaging for presymptomatic analysis of light leaf spot in oilseed rape.

Effect of carbon-negative aggregates on the strength properties of concrete for permeable pavements (2019)
Journal Article

Permeable pavements are engineered to temporarily store water to reduce flooding during rainfall events. Permeable pavements are distinguished primarily based on their surface materials which can vary from concrete, asphalt, clay brick, concrete pave...

Narratives of integration: Liminality in migrant acculturation through social media (2019)
Journal Article

Migrant integration is a long drawn out process requiring synergies with various dimensions of life, rhyming with those of the host country. In this paper, we attempt to deconstruct the digital narratives of migrants to explore how they may lead to a...

Husserl’s early concept of metaphysics as the ultimate science of reality (2019)
Book Chapter

This article reconstructs the development of Husserl’s definition of metaphysics as the ultimate science of reality in the courses and lectures written up to the year 1905. The analysis of these texts casts light on Husserl’s philosophical self-under... Read More about Husserl’s early concept of metaphysics as the ultimate science of reality.

Development of an Ontology-based Framework and Tool for Employer Information Requirements (OntEIR) (2019)
Thesis

The identification of proper requirements is a key factor for a successful construction project. Many attempts in the form of frameworks, models, and tools have been put forward to assist in identifying those requirements. In projects using Building...
