Protocol to assess the effectiveness and safety of novel oral anticoagulants (NOAC) vs warfarin in real world settings: cohort study in primary care
Book
Hippisley-Cox, J., & Coupland, C. Protocol to assess the effectiveness and safety of novel oral anticoagulants (NOAC) vs warfarin in real world settings: cohort study in primary care. University of Nottingham

Anticoagulants are used to treat thrombosis and to prevent thrombosis and stroke among those at high risk. Older anticoagulants such as warfarin can be effective but require regular monitoring and may lead to major bleeding and even death. Newer anti...

A comparison of the economic value for enteric methane emissions with other biological traits associated with dairy cows
Journal Article
Bell, M. J., Pryce, J., & Wilson, P. (in press). A comparison of the economic value for enteric methane emissions with other biological traits associated with dairy cows. https://doi.org/10.21694/2379-1047.16002

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
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Yoeh, S. S., Yang, T., Tarisciotti, L., Hill, C. I., & Bozhko, S. (in press). More electric aircraft starter-generator system with utilization of hybrid modulated model predictive control.

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
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Enalou, H., Rashed, M., Kulsangcharoen, P., Hill, C. I., & Bozhko, S. (in press). Nonlinear aircraft engine model for future integrated power center development.

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
Mortier, R., Haddadi, H., Henderson, T., McAuley, D., Crowcroft, J., & Crabtree, A. (in press). Human-data interaction. In The encyclopedia of human-computer interaction. Interaction Design Foundation

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
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hibshi, H., Breaux, T. D., & Wagner, C. (in press). Improving security requirements adequacy: an interval type 2 fuzzy logic security assessment system.

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
Nilsson, H., & Chupin, G. The arpeggigon: declarative programming of a full-fledged musical application. University of Nottingham

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...
