A more efficient current source inverter with series connected AC capacitors for photovoltaic and fuel cell applications
Conference Proceeding
Klumpner, C., Chonlatee, P., & Wheeler, P. (in press). A more efficient current source inverter with series connected AC capacitors for photovoltaic and fuel cell applications.

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
Gu, F., Greensmith, J., & Aickelin, U. (in press). Integrating real-time analysis with the dendritic cell algorithm through segmentation.

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
Lahoz-Beltra, R., Ochoa, G., & Aickelin, U. (in press). Cheating for problem solving: a genetic algorithm with social interactions.

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
Fan, M., Bell, A. R., Bell, D. R., Clode, S., Fernandes, A., Foster, P. M., …White, S. Recombinant expression of Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor for quantitative ligand-binding analysis. Analytical Biochemistry, 384, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ab.2008.10.003

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...

The effect of baroque music on the PassPoints graphical password
Conference Proceeding
Gao, H., Ren, Z., Chang, X., Liu, X., & Aickelin, U. (in press). The effect of baroque music on the PassPoints graphical password.

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.

Integrity management and the public service ethos in the UK: patchwork quilt or threadbare blanket?
Conference Proceeding
Heywood, P. M. Integrity management and the public service ethos in the UK: patchwork quilt or threadbare blanket?.

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
Conference Proceeding
Benatar, N., Aickelin, U., & Garibaldi, J. M. (in press). A comparison of non-stationary, type-2 and dual surface fuzzy control.

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.
