Design strategy for low-energy ventilation and cooling of hospitals (2009)
Journal Article
Short, C., & Al-Maiyah, S. (2009). Design strategy for low-energy ventilation and cooling of hospitals. Building Research and Information, 37(3), 264-292. https://doi.org/10.1080/09613210902885156

What is the potential for incorporating low-energy ventilation and cooling strategies into the design of new hospitals? How would such strategies cope with a changing climate? Natural ventilation is promoted by the UK National Health Service (NHS) in... Read More about Design strategy for low-energy ventilation and cooling of hospitals.

Evolutionary algorithm for solving the inverse problem of finding the incident field on a high-aperture lens for generating a desired focused field (2009)
Journal Article
Massoumian, F., Alali, S., & Mansouri, T. (2009). Evolutionary algorithm for solving the inverse problem of finding the incident field on a high-aperture lens for generating a desired focused field. Optics Letters, 34(1), 67-69. https://doi.org/10.1364/OL.34.000067

Using a proposed evolutionary algorithm, we have solved the inverse problem of finding the incident field on a high-aperture lens for generating a desired focused field, for the first time (to our knowledge). Further, we have achieved the global solu...

A critical investigation into the properties of metallised film capacitors for high quality sound reproduction (2009)
Thesis

This is an account of work carried out through a Knowledge Transfer Partnership with
Industrial Capacitors (Wrexham) Ltd to assess the effects of metallised film
polypropylene capacitors on key sonic attributes of reproduced sound. The capacitors... Read More about A critical investigation into the properties of metallised film capacitors for high quality sound reproduction.
