Design analysis of a hybrid jet-pump CO2 compression system
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Worall, M., Omer, S., & Riffat, S. Design analysis of a hybrid jet-pump CO2 compression system. Presented at 9th International Conference on Sustainable Energy Technologies

Transport refrigeration contributes to anthropogenic global warming directly because of leakage of refrigerant, usually using high global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants, and indirectly because of the greenhouse gases emitted in driving the vehi...

Integrity management and the public service ethos in the UK: patchwork quilt or threadbare blanket?
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Heywood, P. M. Integrity management and the public service ethos in the UK: patchwork quilt or threadbare blanket?. Presented at ‘Integrity Management and Collaborative Governance’

This paper focuses on the nature of integrity management in contemporary UK public life. Despite traditionally high standards of integrity in the public service, it has recently been argued that the UK’s National Integrity System resembles a patchwor...

A comparison of non-stationary, type-2 and dual surface fuzzy control
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Benatar, N., Aickelin, U., & Garibaldi, J. M. A comparison of non-stationary, type-2 and dual surface fuzzy control. Presented at 2011 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems

Type-1 fuzzy logic has frequently been used in control systems. However this method is sometimes shown to be too restrictive and unable to adapt in the presence of uncertainty. In this paper we compare type-1 fuzzy control with several other fuzzy ap... Read More about A comparison of non-stationary, type-2 and dual surface fuzzy control.

Use of enterprise simulation to assess the impacts of remanufacturing operations
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Farr, R., & Lohse, N. Use of enterprise simulation to assess the impacts of remanufacturing operations. Presented at International Conference on Remanufacturing, ICoR

Remanufacturing could become a cornerstone of a future sustainable society and considerable progress has been made towards finding technical solutions for the renovation of products or selected components. Not all the barriers to remanufacturing are... Read More about Use of enterprise simulation to assess the impacts of remanufacturing operations.

Comparing non-ipsative measures of party support
Presentation / Conference Contribution
van der Eijk, C., & Marsh, M. Comparing non-ipsative measures of party support. Presented at First European Conference on Comparative Electoral Research

Non-ipsative measures of party preference (preference ratings for each of the parties of a political system) have become common in election studies. They exist in different forms, such as thermometer ratings or feeling scores, likes and dislikes scor... Read More about Comparing non-ipsative measures of party support.

Variance in system dynamics and agent based modelling using the SIR model of infectious diseases
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ahmed, A., Greensmith, J., & Aickelin, U. Variance in system dynamics and agent based modelling using the SIR model of infectious diseases. Presented at Proceedings of the 26th European Conference on Modelling and Simulation (ECMS)

Classical deterministic simulations of epidemiological processes, such as those based on System Dynamics, produce a single result based on a fixed set of input parameters with no variance between simulations. Input parameters are subsequently modifie... Read More about Variance in system dynamics and agent based modelling using the SIR model of infectious diseases.

Density-dependent fitness benefits in quorum-sensing bacterial populations
Journal Article
Darch, S. E., West, S. A., Winzer, K., & Diggle, S. P. Density-dependent fitness benefits in quorum-sensing bacterial populations. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 109(21), https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1118131109

It has been argued that bacteria communicate using small diffusible signal molecules to coordinate, among other things, the production of factors that are secreted outside of the cells in a process known as quorum sensing (QS). The underlying assumpt... Read More about Density-dependent fitness benefits in quorum-sensing bacterial populations.
