Stability and robustness analysis of a DC/DC power conversion system under operating conditions uncertainties (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sumsurooah, S., Bozhko, S., Odavic, M., & Boroyevich, D. (2015, November). Stability and robustness analysis of a DC/DC power conversion system under operating conditions uncertainties. Presented at IECON 2015 - 41st Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society, Yokohama, Japan

Stability margins of the switch-mode DC/DC power conversion systems are very sensitive to variations in load and system parameters. In aerospace applications these systems can be exposed to considerable variations in temperature that can cause large...

A new generation of temporary pavilions based on Tensairity® girders (2015)
Journal Article
Beccarelli, P., Maffei, R., Galliot, C., & Luchsinger, R. (2015). A new generation of temporary pavilions based on Tensairity® girders. Steel Construction, 8(4), 259-264. https://doi.org/10.1002/stco.201510036

This paper provides a detailed overview of the design and construction of a series of temporary pavilions based on the Tensairity® principle. The pavilions are currently used in the Superbike racing category (Ducati Superbike Team), for the Audi tron... Read More about A new generation of temporary pavilions based on Tensairity® girders.

Thermal properties of asphalt pavements under dry and wet conditions (2015)
Journal Article
Hassn, A., Chiarelli, A., Dawson, A., & Garcia, A. (2016). Thermal properties of asphalt pavements under dry and wet conditions. Materials and Design, 91, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matdes.2015.11.116

Air voids play an important role in the temperature evolution of asphalt pavements exposed to the sun's radiation and the environment, but their effects have never been precisely quantified before. The objective of this article is to understand and q... Read More about Thermal properties of asphalt pavements under dry and wet conditions.

Experimental investigation into droplet impingement upon moving films using high speed video and thermal imaging (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mitchell, A. J., Simmons, K., & Hann, D. B. Experimental investigation into droplet impingement upon moving films using high speed video and thermal imaging. Presented at ASME 2015 International Mechanical Engineering Congress & Exposition (IMECE 2015)

Aeroengine bearing chambers are geometrically complex, typically containing shafts, bearings, seals and stationary components. Oil is supplied for lubrication and cooling and so the chamber contains a highly rotating two-phase (oil/air) flow where th...

The experience of couples being given an oxygen concentrator to use at home: A longitudinal interpretative phenomenological analysis (2015)
Journal Article
Thomson, R., Martin, J. L., & Sharples, S. (2017). The experience of couples being given an oxygen concentrator to use at home: A longitudinal interpretative phenomenological analysis. Journal of Health Psychology, 22(6), 798-810. https://doi.org/10.1177/1359105315615932

This longitudinal study explores the lived experience of four couples where one person from each couple is prescribed an oxygen concentrator to use at home. Transcripts were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. The findings report...

An experimental study of a novel integrated desiccant air conditioning system for building applications (2015)
Journal Article
Elmer, T., Worall, M., Wu, S., & Riffat, S. (2016). An experimental study of a novel integrated desiccant air conditioning system for building applications. Energy and Buildings, 111, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2015.11.065

To date, the application of liquid desiccant air conditioning systems in built environment applications, particularly small scale, has been limited. This is primarily due to large system size and complexity, issues of desiccant solution leakage and c...

Optimising performance of a confocal fluorescence microscope with a differential pinhole (2015)
Journal Article
Kakade, R., Walker, J. G., & Phillips, A. J. (2015). Optimising performance of a confocal fluorescence microscope with a differential pinhole. Measurement Science and Technology, 27(1), https://doi.org/10.1088/0957-0233/27/1/015401

The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)-resolution trade-off is of great importance to bio-imaging applications where the aim is to image the sample using as little light as possible without significantly sacrificing image quality. In this paper the inherent... Read More about Optimising performance of a confocal fluorescence microscope with a differential pinhole.
