Robust fault estimation using an LPV reference model : ADDSAFE benchmark case study (2015)
Journal Article
Chen, L., Patton, R., & Goupil, P. (2016). Robust fault estimation using an LPV reference model : ADDSAFE benchmark case study. Control engineering practice, 49, 194-203. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.conengprac.2015.12.006

This paper investigates a mixed H−/H∞ linear parameter varying (LPV) fault estimator using an LPV reference estimator. LMIs are used to calculate the affine parameter-dependent gains of the LPV fault estimator. The design strategy is applied to a hig...

Intracranial pressure changes during mouse development (2015)
Journal Article
Moazen, M., Alazmani, A., Rafferty, K., Liu, Z.-J., Gustafson, J., Cunningham, M. L., Fagan, M. J., & Herring, S. W. (2016). Intracranial pressure changes during mouse development. Journal of biomechanics, 49(1), 123-126. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2015.11.012

During early stages of postnatal development, pressure from the growing brain as well as cerebrospinal fluid, i.e. intracranial pressure (ICP), load the calvarial bones. It is likely that such loading contributes to the peripheral bone formation at t... Read More about Intracranial pressure changes during mouse development.

Validity and sensitivity of a human cranial finite element model: Implications for comparative studies of biting performance (2015)
Journal Article
Toro-Ibacache, V., Fitton, L. C., Fagan, M. J., & O'Higgins, P. (2016). Validity and sensitivity of a human cranial finite element model: Implications for comparative studies of biting performance. Journal of anatomy, 228(1), 70-84. https://doi.org/10.1111/joa.12384

Finite element analysis (FEA) is a modelling technique increasingly used in anatomical studies investigating skeletal form and function. In the case of the cranium this approach has been applied to both living and fossil taxa to (for example) investi...

Prediction of annual joint rain fade on EHF networks by weighted rain field selection (2015)
Journal Article
Paulson, K. S., & Chinda, I. D. (2015). Prediction of annual joint rain fade on EHF networks by weighted rain field selection. Radio science, 50(8), 827-836. https://doi.org/10.1002/2015RS005695

©2015. American Geophysical Union. All Rights Reserved. We present a computationally efficient method to predict joint rain fade on arbitrary networks of microwave links. Methods based on synthetic rain fields composed of a superposition of rain cell... Read More about Prediction of annual joint rain fade on EHF networks by weighted rain field selection.

Biodiesel from microalgae : the use of multi-criteria decision analysis for strain selection (2015)
Journal Article
Nwokoagbara, E., Olaleye, A. K., & Wang, M. (2015). Biodiesel from microalgae : the use of multi-criteria decision analysis for strain selection. Fuel, 159, 241-249. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fuel.2015.06.074

Microalgae strain selection is a vital step in the production of biodiesel from microalgae. In this study, Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methodologies are adopted to resolve this problem. The aim of this study is to identify the best microa... Read More about Biodiesel from microalgae : the use of multi-criteria decision analysis for strain selection.

Mechanical properties of calvarial bones in a mouse model for craniosynostosis (2015)
Journal Article
Moazen, M., Peskett, E., Babbs, C., Pauws, E., & Fagan, M. J. (2015). Mechanical properties of calvarial bones in a mouse model for craniosynostosis. PLoS ONE, 10(5), e0125757. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0125757

The mammalian cranial vault largely consists of five flat bones that are joined together along their edges by soft fibrous tissues called sutures. Premature closure of the cranial sutures, craniosynostosis, can lead to serious clinical pathology unle...

Steady state simulation and exergy analysis of supercritical coal-fired power plant with CO₂ capture (2015)
Journal Article
Olaleye, A. K., Wang, M., & Kelsall, G. (2015). Steady state simulation and exergy analysis of supercritical coal-fired power plant with CO₂ capture. Fuel, 151, 57-72. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fuel.2015.01.013

Integrating a power plant with CO₂ capture incurs serious efficiency and energy penalty due to use of energy for solvent regeneration in the capture process. Reducing the exergy destruction and losses associated with the power plant systems can impro...
