Understanding the diverse needs of subtitle users in a rapidly evolving media landscape (2017)
Journal Article
Armstrong, M., Brown, A., Crabb, M., Hughes, C., Jones, R., & Sandford, J. (2017). Understanding the diverse needs of subtitle users in a rapidly evolving media landscape. SMPTE motion imaging journal, 125(9), 33-41. https://doi.org/10.5594/JMI.2016.2614919

Audiences are increasingly using services, such as video on demand and the Web, to watch television programs. Broadcasters need to make subtitles available across all these new platforms. These platforms also create new design opportunities for subti... Read More about Understanding the diverse needs of subtitle users in a rapidly evolving media landscape.

Composite structural analysis of a high altitude, solar powered unmanned aerial vehicle (2017)
Journal Article
Alsahlani, A., Rahulan, T., & Abdulhassan, N. (2017). Composite structural analysis of a high altitude, solar powered unmanned aerial vehicle. International journal of mechanical engineering and robotics research, 6(1), 71-76. https://doi.org/10.18178/ijmerr.6.1.71-76

In this paper, a development of a low order composite structure module has been introduced. This module can design the wing structure for the given aerodynamic load. The wing structure is broken down into non-spar elements and spars. The weight of no... Read More about Composite structural analysis of a high altitude, solar powered unmanned aerial vehicle.
