Predicting the Behaviour of Near-Critical and Supercritical Alcohols at Microwave Frequencies: Validation of Molecular Dynamic Simulations as a Tool that can Substitute for Measurements under Extreme Experimental Conditions (2019)
Journal Article

Equilibrium and non-equilibrium molecular dynamic simulations, predicting the dielectric properties of near-critical and supercritical methanol and ethanol at microwave frequencies have been carried out. The autocorrelation functions of the dielectri...

The Hepatitis C Awareness Through to Treatment (HepCATT) study: improving the cascade of care for hepatitis C virus-infected people who inject drugs in England (2019)
Journal Article

Background and Aims: Previous studies have shown low rates of diagnosis and treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in people who inject drugs (PWID). Our aims were to test the effect of a complex intervention (“HepCATT”) in drug and alcohol c...

Simultaneous in situ temperature and relative humidity monitoring in mechanical ventilators using an array of functionalised optical fibre long period grating sensors (2019)
Journal Article

An array of optical fibre long period gratings (LPGs) has been demonstrated for biomedical application to monitor temperature and relative humidity (RH) changes in the air delivered by a mechanical ventilator operating in different modes. The LPG arr... Read More about Simultaneous in situ temperature and relative humidity monitoring in mechanical ventilators using an array of functionalised optical fibre long period grating sensors.

Three dimensional nanoscale analysis reveals aperiodic mesopores in a covalent organic framework and conjugated microporous polymer (2019)
Journal Article

The integrated analytical approach developed in this study offers a powerful methodology for the structural characterization of complex molecular nanomaterials. Structures of a covalent organic framework based on boronate esters (COF-5) and a conjuga...

Getting the driver back into the loop: the quality of manual vehicle control following long and short non-critical transfer-of-control requests: TI:NS (2019)
Journal Article

Specific vehicle automation use-cases such as traffic jams will be the first level 3 functions on the market. When the ‘traffic jam pilot’ nears its limits in non-critical situations, control needs to be handed back to the driver, enabling appropriat...

Preparation of MCrAlY-Al2O3 composite coatings with enhanced oxidation resistance through a novel powder manufacturing process (2019)
Journal Article

MCrAlY-Al 2 O 3 composite coatings were prepared by using high velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) thermal spraying with bespoke composite powder feedstock for high temperature applications. Powder processing via a suspension route was employed to achieve a...

Fluid flow and heat transfer analysis of TEFC machine end regions using more realistic end-winding geometry (2019)
Journal Article

Here, a typical small low-voltage totally enclosed fan-cooled (TEFC) motor (output power ∼10 kW) has been studied using computational fluid dynamics. The complexity of the end-winding geometries, often consisting of several insulated copper strands b...

Optimising the structure of a cascaded modular battery system for enhancing the performance of battery packs (2019)
Journal Article

The overall performance of battery packs may be affected by imbalances between the series connected cells which is more likely in packs with high number of cells needed to provide a high voltage as needed for example in electric vehicles. In this cas... Read More about Optimising the structure of a cascaded modular battery system for enhancing the performance of battery packs.

Gaussian process machine learning-based surface extrapolation method for improvement of the edge effect in surface filtering (2019)
Journal Article

Filtering for signal and data is an important technology to reduce and/or remove noise signal for further extraction of desired information. However, it is well known that significant distortions may occur in the boundary areas of the filtered data b...
