A review of thermal absorbers and their integration methods for the combined solar photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) modules (2016)
Journal Article
Wu, J., Zhang, X., Shen, J., Wu, Y., Connelly, K., Yang, T., …Wang, H. (in press). A review of thermal absorbers and their integration methods for the combined solar photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) modules. Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 75, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2016.11.063

Thermal absorbers and their integration methods are critical to solar photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) modules. These two elements directly influence the cooling effort of PV layers and as a result, the related electrical/thermal/overall efficiency. This...

The role of anti-aquaporin 4 antibody in the conversion of acute brainstem syndrome to neuromyelitis optica (2016)
Journal Article
Cheng, C., Jiang, Y., Lu, X., Gu, F., Kang, Z., Dai, Y., …Hu, X. (in press). The role of anti-aquaporin 4 antibody in the conversion of acute brainstem syndrome to neuromyelitis optica. BMC Neurology, 16(1), https://doi.org/10.1186/s12883-016-0721-1

Background: Acute brainstem syndrome (ABS) may herald multiple sclerosis (MS), neuromyelitis optica (NMO), or occur as an isolated syndrome. The aquaporin 4 (AQP4)-specific serum autoantibody, NMO-IgG, is a biomarker for NMO. However, the role of ant...

The properties of HPMC: PEO extended release hydrophilic matrices and their response to ionic environments (2016)
Journal Article
Hu, A., Chen, C., Mantle, M. D., Wolf, B., Gladden, L. F., Rajabi-Siahboomi, A., …Melia, C. D. (2017). The properties of HPMC: PEO extended release hydrophilic matrices and their response to ionic environments. Pharmaceutical Research, 34(5), 941-956. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11095-016-2031-0

Purpose Investigate the extended release behaviour of compacts containing mixtures of hydrophilic HPMC and PEO in hydrating media of differing ionic strengths. Methods The extended release behaviour of various HPMC:PEO compacts was investigate...

An extended ANFIS architecture and its learning properties for type-1 and interval type-2 models (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Chen, C., John, R., Twycross, J., & Garibaldi, J. M. (2016). An extended ANFIS architecture and its learning properties for type-1 and interval type-2 models.

In this paper, an extended ANFIS architecture is proposed. By incorporating an extra layer for the fuzzification process, the extended architecture is able to fit both type-1 and interval type-2 models. The learning properties of the proposed archite...
