Sequence-Specific β-Peptide Synthesis by a Rotaxane-Based Molecular Machine (2017)
Journal Article

We report on the synthesis and operation of a three-barrier, rotaxane-based, artificial molecular machine capable of sequence-specific β-homo (β3) peptide synthesis. The machine utilizes nonproteinogenic β3-amino acids, a class of amino acids not gen... Read More about Sequence-Specific β-Peptide Synthesis by a Rotaxane-Based Molecular Machine.

An overview of the peridynamics (PD) formulation with the extended boundary element method (XBEM) for dynamic fracture (2017)

MicroRNAs in the skin: role in development, homoeostasis and regeneration (2017)
Journal Article

The skin is the largest organ of the integumentary system and possesses a vast number of functions. Due to the distinct layers of the skin and the variety of cells which populate each, a tightly regulated network of molecular signals control developm...

Systems modelling ageing: from single senescent cells to simple multi-cellular models (2017)
Journal Article

Systems modelling has been successfully used to investigate several key molecular mechanisms of ageing. Modelling frameworks to allow integration of models and methods to enhance confidence in models are now well established. In this article, we disc...

Novel Approach for Sizing Forward Osmosis Membrane Systems (2017)
Journal Article

Analytical solutions for sizing ideal Forward Osmosis membrane systems are developed for both co-current and counter-current flow configurations. They are integral solutions of the mass balance equations, including the one representing transfer acros... Read More about Novel Approach for Sizing Forward Osmosis Membrane Systems.

Impact of wind conditions on thermal loading of PMSG wind turbine power converters (2017)
Journal Article

Power converter reliability is critical for permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) wind turbines. Converter failures are linked to power module thermal loading but studies often neglect turbine dynamics, control and the impact of wind speed sa...

Solving Binary Classification Problems with Carbon Nanotube / Liquid Crystal Composites and Evolutionary Algorithms (2017)
Book Chapter

This paper presents a series of experiments demonstrating the capacity of single-walled carbon-nanotube (SWCNT)/liquid crystal (LC) mixtures to be trained by evolutionary algorithms to act as classifiers on linear and nonlinear binary datasets. The t... Read More about Solving Binary Classification Problems with Carbon Nanotube / Liquid Crystal Composites and Evolutionary Algorithms.

Does regional loss of bone density explain low trauma distal forearm fractures in men (The Mr F study)? (2017)
Journal Article

Summary The pathogenesis of low trauma wrist fractures in men is not fully understood. This study found that these men have lower bone mineral density at the forearm itself, as well as the hip and spine, and has shown that forearm bone mineral densit...

Drag reduction properties of superhydrophobic mesh pipes (2017)
Journal Article

Even with the recent extensive study into superhydrophobic surfaces, the fabrication of such surfaces on the inside walls of a pipe remains challenging. In this work we report a convenient bi-layered pipe design using a thin superhydrophobic metallic... Read More about Drag reduction properties of superhydrophobic mesh pipes.

Demonstration of a Dynamic Clearance Seal in a Rotating Test Facility (2017)

Efficient algorithms for checking avoiding sure loss (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Sets of desirable gambles provide a general representation of uncertainty which can handle partial information in a more robust way than precise probabilities. Here we study the effectiveness of linear programming algorithms for determining whether o... Read More about Efficient algorithms for checking avoiding sure loss.

What's new? Analysing language-specific Wikipedia entity contexts to support entity-centric news retrieval (2017)
Book Chapter

Representation of influential entities, such as celebrities and multinational corporations on the web can vary across languages, re- flecting language-specific entity aspects, as well as divergent views on these entities in different communities. An... Read More about What's new? Analysing language-specific Wikipedia entity contexts to support entity-centric news retrieval.
