Preliminary thermal analysis of a combined photovoltaic–photothermic–nocturnal radiative cooling system (2017)
Journal Article
Hu, M., Zhao, B., Li, J., Wang, Y., & Pei, G. (2017). Preliminary thermal analysis of a combined photovoltaic–photothermic–nocturnal radiative cooling system. Energy, 137, 419-430. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.energy.2017.03.075

A novel combined photovoltaic–photothermic–nocturnal radiative cooling (PV–PT–RC) system was proposed to achieve multifunctional and all-weather operation. The proposed system collects electricity and heat energy at daytime through PV and PT conversi...

Restoring speech following total removal of the larynx by a learned transformation from sensor data to acoustics (2017)
Journal Article
Gilbert, J. M., Gonzalez, J. A., Cheah, L. A., Ell, S. R., Green, P., Moore, R. K., & Holdsworth, E. (2017). Restoring speech following total removal of the larynx by a learned transformation from sensor data to acoustics. The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 141(3), EL307-EL313. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.4978364

Total removal of the larynx may be required to treat laryngeal cancer: speech is lost. This article shows that it may be possible to restore speech by sensing movement of the remaining speech articulators and use machine learning algorithms to derive...
