Gender and East Asian Welfare States: from Confucianism to Gender Equality
Conference Proceeding

How can we understand the gender logic underpinning the welfare states/systems of East Asia? Does the comparative literature, which has largely been concerned with western Welfare states, whether in The Three Worlds of Welfare Capitalism (Esping-And...

What Pedro could do
Book

This paper discusses Bernard Williams's famous case of Jim and the Indians. It contrasts two ways of diagnosing the alleged errors of Act Utilitarianism in considering this case. One approach suggests that Act Utilitarianism fails to appreciate the i... Read More about What Pedro could do.

"Ordinary people only": knowledge, representativeness and the publics of public participation in healthcare
Journal Article

Public involvement in healthcare is a prominent policy in countries across the economically developed world. A growing body of academic literature has focused on public participation, often presenting dichotomies between good and bad practice: betwe...

Hybrid power converters: an exploration of benefits
Conference Proceeding

A two-stage power converter for welding applications with increased efficiency and reduced filtering
Conference Proceeding

The power supply technology used in welding applications changed dramatically from manually tap-controlled 50Hz bulky transformers which had large leakage inductance to provide stable arc burn to switch-mode fast controlled highfrequency power electr...

A more efficient current source inverter with series connected AC capacitors for photovoltaic and fuel cell applications
Conference Proceeding

Renewable energy sources such as photovoltaics (PVs) or fuel cells (FCs) are not fitted for direct power grid connection because they deliver DC voltage and current. In addition, they also have a high internal resistance/nonlinear V/I dependence, whi...

Integrating real-time analysis with the dendritic cell algorithm through segmentation
Conference Proceeding

As an immune inspired algorithm, the Dendritic Cell Algorithm (DCA) has been applied to a range of problems, particularly in the area of intrusion detection. Ideally, the intrusion detection should be performed in real-time, to continuously detect mi... Read More about Integrating real-time analysis with the dendritic cell algorithm through segmentation.

Cheating for problem solving: a genetic algorithm with social interactions
Conference Proceeding

We propose a variation of the standard genetic algorithm that incorporates social interaction between the individuals in the population. Our goal is to understand the evolutionary role of social systems and its possible application as a non-genetic n...

Recombinant expression of Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor for quantitative ligand-binding analysis
Journal Article

Recombinant expression of the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR) yields small amounts of ligand- binding competent AhR. Therefore, Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) cells and baculovirus have been evaluated for high level and functional expression of AhR. R...

Selecting the power electronic interface for a supercapattery based energy storage system
Conference Proceeding

This paper presents the initial investigations in selecting the topology of the power electronic interface for an energy storage system for power levelling applications based on a novel storage device, the supercapattery. The particularities of the s... Read More about Selecting the power electronic interface for a supercapattery based energy storage system.

A current source inverter with series connected AC capacitors for photovoltaic application with grid fault ride through capability
Conference Proceeding

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... Read More about A current source inverter with series connected AC capacitors for photovoltaic application with grid fault ride through capability.

The effect of baroque music on the PassPoints graphical password
Conference Proceeding

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.

Efficiency evaluation of a novel supercapattery stack with a power electronic interface for energy storage systems
Conference Proceeding

The increase of renewable energy generation seen as the only way to ensure clean and sustainable development, is under scrutiny due to its intermittent nature and an insufficient development of com-plementary technologies such as electrical energy st...

A power electronic controlled dump load with negligible harmonics for accurate loading used in testing small wind turbines
Conference Proceeding

Permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSG) are at the core of small scale wind power generators manufactured by a wide range of manufacturers in different configurations: vertical or horizontal axis blades, with various geometries and aerodynamic...
