Presentation / Conference Contribution
Photong, C., Klumpner, C., & Wheeler, P. A current source inverter with series connected AC capacitors for photovoltaic application with grid fault ride through capability. Presented at 35th Annual Conference of IEEE Industrial Electronics (IECON 2009)

The current source inverter (CSI) is preferred to interface a renewable source such photovoltaics (PV) to the AC power grid because it can provide smooth current source in the DC side, which fits to the PV behaviour and also steps-up the voltage from...

The effect of baroque music on the PassPoints graphical password
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gao, H., Ren, Z., Chang, X., Liu, X., & Aickelin, U. The effect of baroque music on the PassPoints graphical password. Presented at CIVR '10: Proceedings of the ACM International Conference on Image and Video Retrieval

Graphical passwords have been demonstrated to be the possible alternatives to traditional alphanumeric passwords. However, they still tend to follow predictable patterns that are easier to attack. The crux of the problem is users’ memory limitations.... Read More about The effect of baroque music on the PassPoints graphical password.

Design analysis of a hybrid jet-pump CO2 compression system
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Worall, M., Omer, S., & Riffat, S. Design analysis of a hybrid jet-pump CO2 compression system. Presented at 9th International Conference on Sustainable Energy Technologies

Transport refrigeration contributes to anthropogenic global warming directly because of leakage of refrigerant, usually using high global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants, and indirectly because of the greenhouse gases emitted in driving the vehi...

Integrity management and the public service ethos in the UK: patchwork quilt or threadbare blanket?
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Heywood, P. M. Integrity management and the public service ethos in the UK: patchwork quilt or threadbare blanket?. Presented at ‘Integrity Management and Collaborative Governance’

This paper focuses on the nature of integrity management in contemporary UK public life. Despite traditionally high standards of integrity in the public service, it has recently been argued that the UK’s National Integrity System resembles a patchwor...

A comparison of non-stationary, type-2 and dual surface fuzzy control
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Benatar, N., Aickelin, U., & Garibaldi, J. M. A comparison of non-stationary, type-2 and dual surface fuzzy control. Presented at 2011 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems

Type-1 fuzzy logic has frequently been used in control systems. However this method is sometimes shown to be too restrictive and unable to adapt in the presence of uncertainty. In this paper we compare type-1 fuzzy control with several other fuzzy ap... Read More about A comparison of non-stationary, type-2 and dual surface fuzzy control.

Journal Article
Darch, S. E., West, S. A., Winzer, K., & Diggle, S. P. Density-dependent fitness benefits in quorum-sensing bacterial populations. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 109(21), https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1118131109

It has been argued that bacteria communicate using small diffusible signal molecules to coordinate, among other things, the production of factors that are secreted outside of the cells in a process known as quorum sensing (QS). The underlying assumpt... Read More about Density-dependent fitness benefits in quorum-sensing bacterial populations.
