Development of an aircraft wheel actuator for green taxiing (2014)
Conference Proceeding

In this paper, the design and construction aspects of a wheel actuator to be used for aircraft taxiing on the ground and which will be located in the main landing gear are addressed. The main challenges with the application are the high torque densit... Read More about Development of an aircraft wheel actuator for green taxiing.

Electrolyte jet machining for surface texturing of Inconel 718 (2014)
Conference Proceeding

Electrolyte jet machining is an emerging non-conventional machining process which is capable of selectively applying multi-scale surface textures. Surfaces processed in this way do not suffer from thermal damage and hence this technique is highly sui... Read More about Electrolyte jet machining for surface texturing of Inconel 718.

Use of radiography in small animal practice in the UK and Ireland (2014)
Conference Proceeding

Crowd-sourcing Applied to Photograph-Based Automatic Habitat Classification (2014)
Conference Proceeding

Habitat classification is a crucial activity for monitoring environmental biodiversity. To date, manual methods, which are laborious, time-consuming and expensive, remain the most successful alternative. Most automatic methods use remote-sensed image...

A hybrid PDMS/paper passive pump for slow-release/delivery of drugs in chronic dermal wounds (2014)
Conference Proceeding

© 14CBMS. In this paper, we present a hybrid PDMS/paper-based passive pump for slow drug delivery in chronic wounds. The pump consists of a PDMS microfluidic network that is irreversibly bonded to the polyethylene-coated (hydrophobic) side of a comme...

HOG active appearance models (2014)
Conference Proceeding

We propose the combination of dense Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) features with Active Appearance Models (AAMs). We employ the efficient Inverse Compositional optimization technique and show results for the task of face fitting. By taking adv... Read More about HOG active appearance models.

Method of efficiently predicting the conducted emissions of multiple VSCs (2014)
Conference Proceeding

Various types of power converters including Voltage Source Converters (VSCs) have been known to produce conducted emissions. The net effect of simultaneously operating multiple VSCs is non-linear and this makes the prediction of the emission level mo...

Development and usability of a website-based depression literacy intervention for university students in Nottingham (2014)
Conference Proceeding

Purpose: A large proportion of university students experience mental health difficulties, with one review reporting a 30% prevalence rate of depression in this population. Depression affects students’ quality of life and academic performance. Mental...

Mechanical and thermal management design of a motor for an aircraft wheel actuator (2014)
Conference Proceeding

A permanent magnet motor is designed as an actuator for taxiing large aircraft in an airport. The motor is attached to the main aircraft wheel to provide a direct drive. A special topology for this machine is developed selected and designed. Due to a... Read More about Mechanical and thermal management design of a motor for an aircraft wheel actuator.

Soft morphological filter optimization using a genetic algorithm for noise elimination (2014)
Conference Proceeding

Digital image quality is of importance in almost all image processing applications. Many different approaches have been proposed for restoring the image quality depending on the nature of the degradation. One of the most common problems that cause su...

Background voltage distortion and percentage of nonlinear load impacts on the harmonics produced by a group of personal computers (2014)
Conference Proceeding

The penetration of nonlinear loads on power systems increases distortion levels and can cause severe problems to power systems. Many factors affect the degree of generated harmonics including the background voltage distortion and percentage of nonlin...

Identification of soil-structure interaction effects based on geodetic monitoring of a railway bridge (2014)
Conference Proceeding

The monitoring of bridges using geodetic methodologies permits the direct measurement of displacements and potential identification of effects of soil-structure interaction. In this study the response of the historical Gorgopotamos railway (Central G... Read More about Identification of soil-structure interaction effects based on geodetic monitoring of a railway bridge.

Declarative modelling for Bayesian inference by shallow embedding (2014)
Conference Proceeding

A common problem across science and engineering is that aspects of models have to be estimated from observed data. An instance of this familiar to control engineers is system identification. Bayesian inference is a principled way to estimate paramete... Read More about Declarative modelling for Bayesian inference by shallow embedding.

Modified choice function heuristic selection for the Multidimensional Knapsack Problem (2014)
Conference Proceeding

Hyper-heuristics are a class of high-level search methods used to solve computationally difficult problems, which operate on a search space of low-level heuristics rather than solutions directly. Previous work has shown that selection hyper-heuristic... Read More about Modified choice function heuristic selection for the Multidimensional Knapsack Problem.
