Baillie, C., Welicky, R., Hadfield, K., Smit, N., Mariani, S., & Beck, R. (2019). Hooked on you: shape of attachment structures in cymothoid isopods reflects parasitic strategy. BMC Evolutionary Biology, 19, 207. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12862-019-1533-x

Background Parasite attachment structures are critical traits that influence effective host exploitation and survival. Morphology of attachment structures can reinforce host specificity and niche specialisation, or even enable host switching. Theref...

Aerodynamics and Wake Flow Characteristics of a Four-Cylinder Cluster (2023)
Journal Article
Nguyen, C., Inam, S., Lasagna, D., & Xie, Z. (2023). Aerodynamics and Wake Flow Characteristics of a Four-Cylinder Cluster. Flow, Turbulence and Combustion, 110, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10494-023-00419-0

The aerodynamic behaviour and wake flow of a cluster of two-dimensional sharp-edged bluff bodies exhibits extremely complex unsteady phenomena in both near and far fields. Due to the high cost of wind-tunnel experiments and numerical simulations, a c... Read More about Aerodynamics and Wake Flow Characteristics of a Four-Cylinder Cluster.

(2012). The Common Ingroup Identity Model and its efficacy in the field. #Journal not on list, https://doi.org/10.1080/03033910.2010.10446332

Three studies revisited the application of the Common Ingroup Identity Model (CIIM) to the Northern Irish conflict and shed light on the factors that potentially limit the scope of the CIIM. Study 1 (N =61) showed that both conflict protagonists unan... Read More about The Common Ingroup Identity Model and its efficacy in the field.

Optimal Operation of Distributed Generations Considering Demand Response in a Microgrid Using GWO Algorithm (2023)
Journal Article
Shokouhandeh, H., Ahmadi Kamarposhti, M., Holderbaum, W., Colak, I., & Thounthong, P. (2023). Optimal Operation of Distributed Generations Considering Demand Response in a Microgrid Using GWO Algorithm. Computer Systems Science and Engineering, 47(1), 809-822. https://doi.org/10.32604/csse.2023.035827

The widespread penetration of distributed energy sources and the use of load response programs, especially in a microgrid, have caused many power system issues, such as control and operation of these networks, to be affected. The control and opera... Read More about Optimal Operation of Distributed Generations Considering Demand Response in a Microgrid Using GWO Algorithm.

The Validity of Hawkin Dynamics Wireless Dual Force Plates for Measuring Countermovement Jump and Drop Jump Variables † (2023)
Journal Article
Badby, A. J., Mundy, P. D., Comfort, P., Lake, J. P., & McMahon, J. J. (2023). The Validity of Hawkin Dynamics Wireless Dual Force Plates for Measuring Countermovement Jump and Drop Jump Variables †. Sensors, 23(10), 4820. https://doi.org/10.3390/s23104820

Force plate testing is becoming more commonplace in sport due to the advent of commercially available, portable, and affordable force plate systems (i.e., hardware and software). Following the validation of the Hawkin Dynamics Inc. (HD) proprietary s...
