Power quality improvement of synchronous generators using an active power filter (2018)
Journal Article
Abu-Jalala, A., Cox, T., Gerada, C., Rashed, M., Hamiti, T., & Brown, N. (2018). Power quality improvement of synchronous generators using an active power filter. IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications, 54(5), 4080-4090. https://doi.org/10.1109/TIA.2018.2828789

Active power filters (APF) are used to improve power quality and are commonly connected in parallel with the load at the point of common coupling (PCC). They are used to compensate for harmonics from nonlinear loads, for reactive power compensation a... Read More about Power quality improvement of synchronous generators using an active power filter.

A new method for determining the magnetic properties of solid materials employed in unconventional magnetic circuits (2017)
Journal Article
Mohammed, A., Cox, T., Galea, M., & Gerada, C. (in press). A new method for determining the magnetic properties of solid materials employed in unconventional magnetic circuits. IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, https://doi.org/10.1109/TIE.2016.2587859

The mechanical and thermal properties of common, solid (non-laminated) ferromagnetic materials are widely available, but the electro-magnetic characteristics of such solid materials are often undefined. Existing characterization procedures such as th... Read More about A new method for determining the magnetic properties of solid materials employed in unconventional magnetic circuits.

Thermal Design of Linear Induction and Synchronous Motors for Electromagnetic Launch of Civil Aircraft (2017)
Journal Article
Bertola, L., Cox, T., Wheeler, P., Garvey, S. D., & Morvan, H. (2017). Thermal Design of Linear Induction and Synchronous Motors for Electromagnetic Launch of Civil Aircraft. IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science, 45(7), 1146-1153. https://doi.org/10.1109/TPS.2017.2697941

The engine size of modern passenger transport aircraft is principally determined by take-off conditions, since initial acceleration requires maximum engine power. An elec¬tromagnetic launch (EML) system could provide some or all of the energy require...

Factors related to medical students’ and doctors’ attitudes towards older patients: a systematic review (2017)
Journal Article
Samra, R., Cox, T., Gordon, A. L., Conroy, S., Lucassen, M., & Griffiths, A. (2017). Factors related to medical students’ and doctors’ attitudes towards older patients: a systematic review. Age and Ageing, 46(6), https://doi.org/10.1093/ageing/afx058

Background: Studies have sought to identify the possible determinants of medical students’ and doctors’ attitudes towards older patients by examining relationships with a variety of demographic, educational/training, and job factors. This review coll... Read More about Factors related to medical students’ and doctors’ attitudes towards older patients: a systematic review.

Superconducting electromagnetic launch system for civil aircraft (2016)
Journal Article
Bertola, L., Cox, T., Wheeler, P., Garvey, S. D., & Morvan, H. (2016). Superconducting electromagnetic launch system for civil aircraft. IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity, 26(8), https://doi.org/10.1109/TASC.2016.2598772

This paper considers the feasibility of different superconducting technologies for electromagnetic launch (EML) to assist civil aircraft take-off. EML has the potential of reducing the required runway length by increasing aircraft acceleration. Expen... Read More about Superconducting electromagnetic launch system for civil aircraft.

Electromagnetic launch systems for civil aircraft assisted take-off (2015)

Rail passenger crowding, stress, health and safety in Britain (2006)
Journal Article
Cox, T., Houdmont, J., & Griffiths, A. (2006). Rail passenger crowding, stress, health and safety in Britain. Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice, 40, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tra.2005.07.001

There has long been a question as to whether crowding in rail passenger transport poses a threat to passenger health related to the experience of stress. A review of the scientific literature was conducted. Little rail-specific empirical research was... Read More about Rail passenger crowding, stress, health and safety in Britain.
