Gallium-Based Liquid Metal Substrate Integrated Waveguide Switches (2020)
Journal Article

This letter presents a new approach for reconfiguring substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) devices. It involves allowing or prohibiting the wave propagation by using a removable wall which is built from a series of drill holes. When the wall is requi...

The effects of bio-inspired micro/nano scale structures on anti-icing properties (2020)
Journal Article

Ice formation and accumulation have detrimental effects on commercial surfaces and people's lives. The ice adhesion strength decreases with increasing surface hydrophobicity, and the superhydrophobicity of a surface can be constructed by a combinatio...

Investigation on the droplet evaporation process on local heated substrates with different wettability (2020)
Journal Article

Marangoni effect is one of the critical factors in the droplet evaporation process, which is caused by surface tension gradient in the droplet interface. In this study, local heating is adopted to provide a more complicated temperature distribution o...

Opportunities and challenges of delivering digital clinical trials: lessons learned from a randomised controlled trial of an online behavioural intervention for children and young people (2020)
Journal Article

Background: Despite being the gold standard of research to determine effectiveness, randomised controlled trials (RCTs) often struggle with participant recruitment, engagement and retention. These issues may be exacerbated when recruiting vulnerable...

Nonequilibrium Many-Body Quantum Engine Driven by Time-Translation Symmetry Breaking (2020)
Journal Article

Quantum many-body systems out of equilibrium can host intriguing phenomena such as transitions to exotic dynamical states. Although this emergent behaviour can be observed in experiments, its potential for technological applications is largely unexpl...

Software Fault Localisation via Probabilistic Modelling (2020)
Conference Proceeding

Software development is a complex activity requiring intelligent action. This paper explores the use of an AI technique for one step in software development, viz. detecting the location of a fault in a program. A measure of program progress is propos...

Can Diet Influence the COVID-19 Mortality Rate? (2020)
Journal Article

Reported COVID-19 deaths in Germany are relatively low as compared to many European countries. Among the several explanations proposed, an early and large testing of the population was put forward. Most current debates on COVID-19 focus on the differ... Read More about Can Diet Influence the COVID-19 Mortality Rate?.

The interrelationship between the face and vocal tract configuration during audiovisual speech (2020)
Journal Article

It is well established that speech perception is improved when we are able to see the speaker talking along with hearing their voice, especially when the speech is noisy. While we have a good understanding of where speech integration occurs in the br... Read More about The interrelationship between the face and vocal tract configuration during audiovisual speech.
