Superconducting and conventional electromagnetic launch system for civil aircraft assisted take-off
Conference Proceeding

This paper compares three possible linear motor topologies for an electromagnetic launch system to assist civil aircraft take-off. Assisted launch of civil aircraft has the potential of reducing the required runway length, reducing noise and emission...

A comparison of the economic value for enteric methane emissions with other biological traits associated with dairy cows
Journal Article

This is the first study to derive the economic value of enteric methane produced by a ruminant animal. There is considerable interest globally in selecting for low methane-emitting ruminant livestock, as methane is a potent greenhouse gas. However, b...

More electric aircraft starter-generator system with utilization of hybrid modulated model predictive control
Conference Proceeding

The current trend for future aircraft is the adoption of the More Electric Aircraft (MEA) concept. The electrical based starter-generator (S/G) system is one of the core ideas from the MEA concept. The PI based control scheme has been investigated in... Read More about More electric aircraft starter-generator system with utilization of hybrid modulated model predictive control.

Nonlinear aircraft engine model for future integrated power center development
Conference Proceeding

Aircraft engines, the prime source of on-board power, play a vital role within the electrical power generation system. In literature these are considerably simplified to rudimentary engine speed. In this paper, a nonlinear zero-dimension (0-D) order... Read More about Nonlinear aircraft engine model for future integrated power center development.

Human-data interaction
Book Chapter

We have moved from a world where computing is siloed and specialised, to a world where computing is ubiquitous and everyday. In many, if not most, parts of the world, networked computing is now mundane as both foreground (e.g., smartphones, tablets)... Read More about Human-data interaction.

Improving security requirements adequacy: an interval type 2 fuzzy logic security assessment system
Conference Proceeding

Organizations rely on security experts to improve the security of their systems. These professionals use background knowledge and experience to align known threats and vulnerabilities before selecting mitigation options. The substantial depth of expe...

The arpeggigon: declarative programming of a full-fledged musical application
Book

There are many systems and languages for music that essentially are declarative, often following the synchronous dataflow paradigm. As these tools, however, are mainly aimed at artists, their application focus tends to be narrow and their usefulness...

The hidden costs of mental depression: implications on social trust and life satisfaction
Book

Mental health conditions such as depression is a rapidly rising epidemic and a major contributor to the overall global burden of disease. In addition to the direct medical costs and indirect economic costs that falls into the traditional boundary of...

A corpus-based study of depressive language in online teen health communications
Book

This paper presents a multidisciplinary study by using a corpus linguistic approach to investigate the topic of teen depression in an online discussion forum. The lexico- grammatical and semantic patterns of keywords in 129 online posts are explored,... Read More about A corpus-based study of depressive language in online teen health communications.

Laser ultrasound measurement of diaphragm thickness, Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio in a MEMS device
Journal Article

Laser-generated Lamb waves, coupled with a large bandwidth Michelson interferometer, have been demonstrated to accurately measure the thickness of a MEMS pressure sensor diaphragm in the [110] direction of a silicon wafer. Using the reassigned Gabor... Read More about Laser ultrasound measurement of diaphragm thickness, Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio in a MEMS device.

CO2 reduction through low cost electrification of the diesel powertrain at 48V
Journal Article

In order to achieve fleet average CO2 targets, mass market adoption of low CO2 technologies is required. Application of low cost technologies across a large number of vehicles is more cost-effective in reducing fleet CO2 than deploying high-impact, c...

Simplified three player Kuhn poker
Book

We study a very small three player poker game (one-third street Kuhn poker), and a simplified version of the game that is interesting because it has three distinct equilibrium solutions. For one-third street Kuhn poker, we are able to find all of the... Read More about Simplified three player Kuhn poker.

Identifying the factors influencing track degradation on the UK rail network
Conference Proceeding

As trains traverse track, the smoothness of its vertical geometry decreases. This degradation is linked to many interrelated factors, making it difficult to identify the primary causes. Through the use of multiple layer analysis, each factor was indi... Read More about Identifying the factors influencing track degradation on the UK rail network.
