Wrist rehabilitation exoskeleton robot based on pneumatic soft actuators (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Al-Fahaam, H., Davis, S., & Nefti-Meziani, S. (2016, October). Wrist rehabilitation exoskeleton robot based on pneumatic soft actuators. Presented at International Conference for Students on Applied Engineering (ICSAE),, Newcastle UK

The aim of this paper is to describe the design of a
soft, wearable splint for wrist joint rehabilitation, based on
pneumatic soft actuators. The extensor bending and the
contraction types of pneumatic soft actuators have been adopted in this stud... Read More about Wrist rehabilitation exoskeleton robot based on pneumatic soft actuators.

3D position mapping of continuum arm (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Al-Ibadi, A., Nefti-Meziani, S., & Davis, S. (2016, October). 3D position mapping of continuum arm. Presented at International Conference for Students on Applied Engineering, ICSAE 2016, Newcastle UK

Modelling a continuum arm is one of the major
challenges in soft robotic researches. An accurate position model allows wider use of continuum robot arms in industrial and medical applications. Furthermore, accurate control can be achieved. This pape... Read More about 3D position mapping of continuum arm.

The impact of altitude, latitude, and endurance duration on the design of a high altitude, solar powered unmanned aerial vehicle (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Alsahlani, A., & Rahulan, T. (2016, October). The impact of altitude, latitude, and endurance duration on the design of a high altitude, solar powered unmanned aerial vehicle. Presented at The International Conference for Students on Applied Engineering ICSAE, Newcastle / United Kingdom

In this paper, a previously developed conceptual design tool has been used to study the impact of the latitude, altitude, and the flight duration on the weight estimation and the main characteristics of a high altitude, long endurance and solar power...

Biologically-inspired object recognition system for recognizing natural scene categories (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Alameer, A., Degenaar, P., & Nazarpour, K. (2016, October). Biologically-inspired object recognition system for recognizing natural scene categories. Presented at International Conference for Students on Applied Engineering (ISCAE), Newcastle upon Tyne

Visual processing has attracted a lot of attention in the last decade. Hierarchical approaches for object recognition are gradually becoming widely-accepted. Generally, they are inspired by the ventral stream of human visual cortex, which is in charg...

Understanding our heritage : monitoring of energy and environmental performance of traditional terraced houses of Northern England (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Gonzalez, A., Roberts, B., Fitton, R., Swan, W., & Elkadi, H. (2016, October). Understanding our heritage : monitoring of energy and environmental performance of traditional terraced houses of Northern England. Presented at EECHB Energy Efficiency and Comfort of Historic Buildings, Brussels

Existing buildings play a key role in the achievement of the ambitious energy saving and greenhouse gas reduction targets that Europe has fixed for 2020 and 2050. Research has demonstrated that the impact in terms of decrease of energy use and CO2 wi...

Does hydatid cyst fluid from Echinococcus granulosus cysts have any effect on cells involved in fibrosis in cystic echinococcosis? (2016)
Journal Article
Mohammed, A., Allen, J., & Rogan, M. (2016). Does hydatid cyst fluid from Echinococcus granulosus cysts have any effect on cells involved in fibrosis in cystic echinococcosis?. Journal of Parasitology and Bacteriology, 7(5), https://doi.org/10.4172/2155-9597.C1.023

Cystic echinococcosis is characterized by the presence of slow growing hydatid cysts, usually in the liver or lungs. Survival of the parasite is based on an interaction of the host immune system and a range of parasite immune-evasive strategies. Fibr...

Bio-inspired artemether loaded human serum albumin nanoparticles for effective control of malaria-infected erythrocytes (2016)
Journal Article
Sidhaye, A., Bhuran, K., Zambare, S., Abubaker, M., Nirmalan, N., & Singh, K. (2016). Bio-inspired artemether loaded human serum albumin nanoparticles for effective control of malaria-infected erythrocytes. Nanomedicine, 11(21), 2809-2828. https://doi.org/10.2217/nnm-2016-0235

Background: The intra-erythrocytic development of the malarial parasite is dependent on active uptake of nutrients, including human serum albumin(HSA), into parasitized erythrocytes(pRBCs). We have designed HSA-based nanoparticles as a potential drug... Read More about Bio-inspired artemether loaded human serum albumin nanoparticles for effective control of malaria-infected erythrocytes.
