Quality assessment of an Ultra-Wide Band positioning system for indoor wheelchair court sports (2015)
Journal Article

Ultra-Wide Band radio positioning systems are maturing very quickly and now represent a good candidate for indoor positioning. The aim of this study was to undertake a quality assessment on the use of a commercial Ultra-Wide Band positioning system f...

Structural aspects of MOF-based energy materials research at Diamond (2015)
Journal Article

Large-scale central facilities such as Diamond Light Source fulfil an increasingly pivotal role in many large-scale scientific research programmes. We illustrate these developments by reference to energy-centred projects at the University of Nottingh... Read More about Structural aspects of MOF-based energy materials research at Diamond.

Supramolecular binding and separation of hydrocarbons within a functionalised porous metal-organic framework (2015)
Journal Article

Supramolecular interactions are fundamental to host-guest binding in chemical and biological processes. Direct visualisation of such supramolecular interactions within host-guest systems is extremely challenging but crucial for the understanding of t...

An approach to produce a GIS database for road surface monitoring (2014)
Conference Proceeding

Road Surface Monitoring (RSM) is the process of detecting the distress on paved or unpaved road surfaces. The primary aim of this process is to detect any distress (such as road surface cracks) at early stages in order to apply maintenance on time. E...

Synthesis of metal-organic frameworks by continuous flow (2014)
Journal Article

A continuous flow process for the synthesis of a metal-organic framework using only water as the reaction medium and requiring only short residence times is described. This affords a new route to scale-up of materials incorporating many of the princi... Read More about Synthesis of metal-organic frameworks by continuous flow.

Methane adsorption in metal-organic frameworks containing nanographene linkers: a computational study (2014)
Journal Article

Metal-organic framework (MOF) materials are known to be amenable to expansion through elongation of the parent organic linker. For a family of model (3,24)-connected MOFs with the rht topology, in which the central part of organic linker comprises a...

Promoting cooperation: the distribution of reward and punishment power (2014)
Book Chapter

Recent work in experimental economics on the effectiveness of rewards and punishments for promoting cooperation mainly examines decentralized incentive systems where all group members can reward and/or punish one another. Many self-organizing groups... Read More about Promoting cooperation: the distribution of reward and punishment power.

Tuning the interactions between electron spins in fullerene-based triad systems (2014)
Journal Article

A series of six fullerene-linker-fullerene triads have been prepared by the stepwise addition of the fullerene cages to bridging moieties thus allowing the systematic variation of fullerene cage (C60 or C70) and linker (oxalate or terephthalate) and...

Inelastic neutron scattering study of binding of para-hydrogen in an ultra-microporous metal-organic framework (2014)
Journal Article

Metal-organic framework (MOF) materials show promise for H2 storage and it is widely predicted by computational modelling that MOFs incorporating ultra-micropores are optimal for H2 binding due to enhanced overlapping potentials. We report the invest... Read More about Inelastic neutron scattering study of binding of para-hydrogen in an ultra-microporous metal-organic framework.

Studies on metal-organic frameworks of Cu(II) with isophthalate linkers for hydrogen storage (2014)
Journal Article

Hydrogen (H2) is a promising alternative energy carrier due to its environmental benefits, high energy density and its abundance. However, development of a practical storage system to enable the “Hydrogen Economy” remains a huge challenge. Metal-orga...

Design challenges in the use of silicon carbide JFETs in matrix converter applications (2013)
Journal Article

This paper investigates some of the challenges en¬countered during the implementation of a Silicon Carbide JFET matrix converter which has been designed to meet a specific power density of 20kW/litre with forced air cooling. After a brief introductio... Read More about Design challenges in the use of silicon carbide JFETs in matrix converter applications.

Cooperation in small groups: the effect of group size (2013)
Journal Article

We study the effect of group size on cooperation in voluntary contribution mechanism games. As in previous experiments, we study four- and eight-person groups in high and low marginal per capita return (MPCR) conditions. We find a positive effect of...
