Task Planner for Robotic Disassembly of Electric Vehicle Battery Pack
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021) -
Teaching Model Driven Language Handling
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)Many universities teach computer language handling by mainly focussing on compiler theory, although MDD (model-driven development) and meta-modelling are increasingly important in the software industry as well as in ... -
Teaching Motion Control in Mechatronics Education Using an Open Framework Based on the Elevator Model
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Universities and other educational institutions may find it difficult to afford the cost of obtaining cutting-edge teaching resources. This study introduces the adoption of a novel open prototyping framework in the context ... -
Technical and Environmental Properties of Recycled Aggregates Produced from Concrete Sludge and Excavation Materials
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023) -
Techno-economic analysis of a local district heating plant under fuel flexibility and performance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016) -
Temperature coefficients of compensated silicon solar cells - influence of ingot position and blend-in-ratio
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Solar-grade silicon made from a metallurgical route presents boron and phosphorus compensation. Earlier work has shown that cells made from such material produce more energy than reference polysilicon modules when the ... -
Temperature profiles of field-aged photovoltaic modules affected by optical degradation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Moisture ingress into PV module in the presence of ultraviolet radiation, high temperature, and other environmental stressors can affect the optical integrity of the PV module. Optical degradation can take the form of ... -
The effect of feedstock origin and temperature on the structure and reactivity of char from pyrolysis at 1300–2800 °C
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This study reports the effect of feedstock origin, residence time, and heat treatment temperature on CO2 and O2 reactivities, nanostructure and carbon chemistry of chars prepared at 1300, 1600, 2400, and 2800 °C in a ... -
The finding and dynamic detection of opinion leaders in social network
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)It is valuable for the real world to find the opinion leaders. Because different data sources usually have different characteristics, there does not exist a standard algorithm to find and detect the opinion leaders in ... -
The Gantry-Tau parallel kinematic machine-kinematic and elastodynamic design optimisation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)One of the main advantages of the Gantry-Tau machine is a large accessible workspace/footprint ratio compared to many other parallel machines. The optimal kinematic, elastostatic and elastodynamic design parameters of the ... -
The harp: a vehicle crash test apparatus for full-scale crash test experiments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)The current paper describes an apparatus for full-scale vehicle crash test experimentation. This apparatus is referred to as the harp. In brief, the harp may either accelerate a trolley which is impacted into a test vehicle ... -
The identification of convex function on riemannian manifold
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)The necessary and sufficient condition of convex function is significant in nonlinear convex programming. This paper presents the identification of convex function on Riemannian manifold by use of Penot generalized directional ... -
The impact of the subsidy policy on total factor productivity : an empirical analysis of China's cotton production
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)This paper develops one model to explore the relationship between the subsidy policy and the agricultural total factor productivity (TFP). It indicates that the agricultural TFP will be lower after the subsidy policy is ... -
The limiting efficiency of four-band cells revisited
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)The limiting theoretical efficiency of four-band solar cells is revisited. In previous work, researchers have looked at the theoretical efficiency of four band cells where the smallest of the three sub-band gaps is closest ... -
The nature of rest silanol groups on the surfaces of silica based solid phase extraction materials
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Chemically bonded solid phase materials are very important in separation chemistry. The chemically modified silica gel contains rest silanol groups that can affect the retention properties when they are used for separation ... -
The performance investigation of viscoelastic hybrid models in vehicle crash event representation
(Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2011)This paper presents application of physical models composed of springs, dampers and masses joined together in various arrangements to simulation of a real car collision with a rigid pole. Equations of motion of those systems ... -

The Unbalanced Linguistic Aggregation Operator in Group Decision Making
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Many linguistic aggregation methods have been proposed and applied in the linguistic decision- making problems. In practice, experts need to assess a number of values in a side of reference domain higher than in the other ... -
The use of lightweight expanded clay aggregate (LECA) as sorbent for PAHs removal from water
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Lightweight expanded clay aggregate (LECA) has been explored as a sorbent for the removal of PAHs (phenanthrene, fluoranthene and pyrene) from water. The efficacy of LECA as a sorbent for PAHs was assessed using contact ... -
Theoretical efficiency limits for thermoradiative energy conversion
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)A new method to produce electricity from heat called thermoradiative energy conversion is analyzed. The method is based on sustaining a difference in the chemical potential for electron populations above and below an ...
