Treatment effects on the compressive strength of Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC) at 7 days
Conference Proceeding

Reactive powder concrete (RPC) is produced by controlling three main factors: additives to mix composition, pre-setting application of pressure, and post-setting heating. Densification of the mortar is achieved by the application of pressure (either... Read More about Treatment effects on the compressive strength of Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC) at 7 days.

Potential for iron enriched yeast in recovery of rats from iron deficiency
Conference Proceeding

It is well known that iron deficiency can lead to anemia, resulting in a variety of symptoms and health issues. Negative effects can be prevented by ensuring foods with a naturally high iron content are ingested, or countered by taking nutrient supp...

Composite modelling of the effect of the water body geometry on landslide-tsunamis
Conference Proceeding

Subaerial landslide-tsunamis (impulse waves) are generated by mass movements such as landslides, rock falls or glacier calving interacting with a water body. Preliminary landslide-tsunami hazard assessment is commonly based on empirical equations der... Read More about Composite modelling of the effect of the water body geometry on landslide-tsunamis.

Assessing the benefits of installing energy storage in a household equipped with photovoltaic panels
Conference Proceeding

This paper evaluates the technical and financial impact of installing energy storage in a house equipped with Photovoltaic (PV) panels subject to the Feed-In Tariff (FIT). An additional benefit of installing energy storage is the possibility to purch...

Reframing the photograph: confronting the Nazi past through artistic performance strategies since the 1960s
Conference Proceeding

Working in a period when the western modernist focus on the originality of the artist, painterly form and composition had given way to more post Duchampian practices such as reappropriation, performance and the role of the spectator in creating artis...

Gesture bike: examining projection surfaces and turn signal systems for urban cycling
Conference Proceeding

Interactive surfaces could be employed in urban environments to make people more aware of moving vehicles, showing drivers’ intention and the subsequent position of vehicles. To explore the usage of projections while cycling, we created a system that... Read More about Gesture bike: examining projection surfaces and turn signal systems for urban cycling.

Do they have designs on us or for us? (or Beware of Greeks bearing gifts)
Conference Proceeding

In this paper I am proposing that for a regional project designed by foreign entities to be truly successful the understanding of the culture of the key stakeholders needs to be two way. Not only does the designer need to learn and understand the rel... Read More about Do they have designs on us or for us? (or Beware of Greeks bearing gifts).

Hybrid half-bridge package for high voltage application
Conference Proceeding

3D power module structures allow for better cooling and lower parasitic inductances compared with the classical planar technology. In this paper, we present a hybrid half-bridge in a 3D packaging configuration, dedicated for high voltage application.... Read More about Hybrid half-bridge package for high voltage application.

Finite control set model predictive control for grid-tied quasi-Z-source based multilevel inverter
Conference Proceeding

In this paper, a finite control set Model Predictive Control (MPC) for grid-tie quasi-Z-Source (qZS) based multilevel inverter is proposed. The proposed Power Conditioning System (PCS) consists of a single-phase 2-cell Cascaded H-Bridge (CHB) inverte...

Computational models of emotion, personality, and social relationships for interactions in games
Conference Proceeding

We present a novel computational model of emotion, personality and social relationships, implemented and evaluated in an existing commercial game (The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim). We argue that Non Player Characters (NPCs) with such capabilities will ac... Read More about Computational models of emotion, personality, and social relationships for interactions in games.

Effectiveness of microcredit for poverty alleviation: evidence from Indonesia
Conference Proceeding

Debate persists about the effectiveness of microcredit for poverty alleviation. We argue that much of this debate is due to discipline-specific research approaches and methodological complexities obscuring fundamental issues. Microfinance organisati...
