Quantum thermodynamics for a model of an expanding Universe (2016)
Journal Article
Nana Liu, Goold, J., Fuentes, I., Vedral, V., Modi, K., & Bruschi, D. E. (2016). Quantum thermodynamics for a model of an expanding Universe. Classical and Quantum Gravity, 33(3), 035003. https://doi.org/10.1088/0264-9381/33/3/035003

We investigate the thermodynamical properties of quantum fields in curved spacetime. Our approach is to consider quantum fields in curved spacetime as a quantum system undergoing an out-of-equilibrium transformation. The non-equilibrium features are...

Using mobile media creation to structure museum interpretation with professional vision (2016)
Journal Article
Muñoz Civantos, A., Brown, M., Coughlan, T., Ainsworth, S. E., & Lorenz, K. (2016). Using mobile media creation to structure museum interpretation with professional vision. Personal and Ubiquitous Computing, 20(1), https://doi.org/10.1007/s00779-015-0895-3

Mobile technology plays an increasing role in museum and cultural heritage contexts. In most cases, these tools support the relatively passive consumption of expert interpretations, or the unguided generation of content by users. This paper explores...

De novo assembly of a complete transcriptome without the need for a guiding reference genome is attractive, particularly where the cost and complexity of generating a eukaryote genome is prohibitive. The transcriptome should not however be seen as ju... Read More about Assembly, Assessment, and Availability of De novo Generated Eukaryotic Transcriptomes.

Task-specific transfer of perceptual learning across sensory modalities (2016)
Journal Article

It is now widely accepted that primary cortical areas of the brain that were once thought to be sensory-specific undergo significant functional reorganisation following sensory deprivation. For instance, loss of vision or audition leads to the brain... Read More about Task-specific transfer of perceptual learning across sensory modalities.

Design optimization on conductor placement in the slot of permanent magnet machines to restrict turn-turn short-circuit fault current (2016)
Journal Article

In Permanent Magnet (PM) machines, a turn-turn Short-Circuit (SC) fault is the most critical fault to eradicate. The fault introduces high SC current in the shorted turn which may consequently lead to secondary faults unless the fault is appropriatel...
