A novel approach for rational determination of warm mix asphalt production temperatures (2018)
Journal Article

Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) has been developed to minimise environmental impact of asphalt by reducing production temperatures of this material. This study provides a new approach to design WMA production temperatures by two methods. First, aggregate coat...

Influences of the mixed LiCl-CaCl 2 liquid desiccant solution on a membrane-based dehumidification system: parametric analysis and mixing ratio selection (2018)
Journal Article

The membrane-based liquid desiccant dehumidification system has high energy efficiency without the traditional liquid system carry-over problem. The performance of such a system strongly depends on solution's temperature and concentration, which have...

The mechanical property, degradation and cytocompatibility analysis of novel phosphate glass fiber textiles (2018)
Journal Article

© The Author(s) 2018. Phosphate glass fibers have been widely considered as potential biomedical materials for orthopedical application due to their full degradability and excellent cytocompatibility. In this study, phosphate-based glass fibers were... Read More about The mechanical property, degradation and cytocompatibility analysis of novel phosphate glass fiber textiles.

Experimental investigation of nanoparticles concentration, boiler temperature and flow rate on flow boiling of zinc bromide and acetone solution in a rectangular duct (2018)
Journal Article

Despite the increase in heat transfer properties of nano-fluids, they are not currently used in vapour absorption refrigeration systems (VARS), and there is little literature on the flow boiling behaviour of concentrated salt solutions with nano-part...

Stochastic electromagnetic field propagation: measurement and modelling (2018)
Journal Article

This paper reviews recent progress in the measurement and modelling of stochastic electromagnetic fields, focusing on propagation approaches based on Wigner functions and the method of moments technique. The respective propagation methods are exempli... Read More about Stochastic electromagnetic field propagation: measurement and modelling.

Methane transport in agricultural soil after injection of isotopically-enriched methane in the sub-surface (2018)
Journal Article

Small quantities of radioactive methane (14CH4) may be released over prolonged periods from geological disposal facilities for radioactive waste. The impact of this release depends on the capacity of soil to oxidise 14CH4 to 14CO2 during transport fr...

In-process tool wear prediction system based on machine learning techniques and force analysis (2018)
Journal Article

This paper presents an in-process tool wear prediction system, which uses a force sensor to monitor the progression of the tool flank wear and machine learning (ML), more specifically, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) as a method to predict tool...

Alternative-fuel station network design under impact of station failures (2018)
Journal Article

In this paper, we have formulated a mixed-integer non-linear programming model for alternative-fuel station location problem in which each station can fail with a site-specific probability. The model aims to maximise the total expected traffic volume... Read More about Alternative-fuel station network design under impact of station failures.

GNSS trajectory anomaly detection using similarity comparison methods for pedestrian navigation (2018)
Journal Article

The urban setting is a challenging environment for GNSS receivers. Multipath and other anomalies typically increase the positioning error of the receiver. Moreover, the error estimate of the position is often unreliable. In this study, we detect GNSS...

Combining continuous flow oscillatory baffled reactors and microwave heating: Process intensification and accelerated synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (2018)
Journal Article

We have constructed a continuous flow oscillatory baffled reactor (CF-OBR) equipped with a homogeneous and controllable microwave applicator in an entirely novel design. This affords a new route to chemical production incorporating many of the princi...
