Improving microgrid frequency stability through PI-PIDA-driven STATCOM optimization using a hybrid metaheuristic algorithm (2025)
Journal Article

Frequency instability caused by symmetrical and asymmetrical faults in a microgrid can cause significant oscillations and deviations from the nominal frequency. Therefore, there is a need to develop new control methods to ensure the rapid stabilizati...

Trogocytosis: revealing new insights into parasite–host interactions (2025)
Journal Article

Trogocytosis – a process whereby cells physically nibble and ingest membrane fragments and other components from neighboring cells – plays a critical role in host–parasite interactions by modulating parasite survival and host immune responses. This r... Read More about Trogocytosis: revealing new insights into parasite–host interactions.

Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence A novel triplet loss architecture with visual explanation for detecting the unwanted rotation of bolts in safety-critical environments (2025)
Journal Article

In the commonly used method of bolting to secure parts of equipment and structure, the bolts must be tightened to an adequate preload force. Failure to do so could affect the integrity of the structure, as well as the efficient running of the site an... Read More about Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence A novel triplet loss architecture with visual explanation for detecting the unwanted rotation of bolts in safety-critical environments.

Lignocellulosic biomass conversion to levulinic acid via acid catalysis: Current methods, opportunities and challenges for self-sustaining biorefineries (2025)
Journal Article

In recent years, integrated biorefineries have received growing interest as to maximise the extractable value from biomass in the form of green platform chemicals in order to support the establishment of a low carbon economy. Research and development... Read More about Lignocellulosic biomass conversion to levulinic acid via acid catalysis: Current methods, opportunities and challenges for self-sustaining biorefineries.

A novel data-centric AI approach based on sensitivity and correlation analyses for multi-organ plant disease classification (2025)
Journal Article

With advancements in deep learning (DL), most research on classification problems has focused on developing or modifying DL models, known as model-centric artificial intelligence (AI) approaches. However, this approach is time-consuming and overlooks... Read More about A novel data-centric AI approach based on sensitivity and correlation analyses for multi-organ plant disease classification.

Modelling and analysis of glucocorticoid action in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (2025)
Thesis

Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is characterised by the abnormal proliferation of white
blood cells. Glucocorticoids (GCs) induce apoptosis in leukaemia through the glucocorticoid
receptor (GR) and are the main treatment for ALL. The obstacle t... Read More about Modelling and analysis of glucocorticoid action in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
