Robust control and actuator dynamics compensation for railway vehicles (2016)
Journal Article
Bideleh, S., Mei, T., & Berbyuk, V. (2016). Robust control and actuator dynamics compensation for railway vehicles. Vehicle System Dynamics, 54(12), 1762-1784. https://doi.org/10.1080/00423114.2016.1234627

A robust controller is designed for active steering of a high speed train bogie with solid axle wheel sets to reduce track irregularity effects on the vehicle’s dynamics and improve stability and curving performance. A half-car railway vehicle model... Read More about Robust control and actuator dynamics compensation for railway vehicles.

Self-assembling peptide hydrogel for intervertebral disc tissue engineering (2016)
Journal Article
Wan, S., Borland, S., Richardson, S. M., Merry, C. L., Saiani, A., & Gough, J. E. (2016). Self-assembling peptide hydrogel for intervertebral disc tissue engineering. Acta biomaterialia, 46, 29-40. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actbio.2016.09.033

Cell-based therapies for regeneration of intervertebral discs are regarded to hold promise for
degenerative disc disease treatment, a condition that is strongly linked to lower back pain. A de novo
self-assembling peptide hydrogel (SAPH), chosen fo... Read More about Self-assembling peptide hydrogel for intervertebral disc tissue engineering.

Potential tree species for use in urban areas in temperate and oceanic climates (2016)
Journal Article
Scholz, M., Uzomah, V. C., & Al-Faraj, F. (2016). Potential tree species for use in urban areas in temperate and oceanic climates. Heliyon, 2(9), e00154. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heliyon.2016.e00154

This study aims to assess the potential of trees for integration in urban development and regeneration by evaluating the damage caused by tree roots in relation to various tree characteristics. Tree damage to permeable pavement systems and other urba... Read More about Potential tree species for use in urban areas in temperate and oceanic climates.

Bringing the client and therapist together in virtual reality telepresence exposure therapy (2016)
Book Chapter
Roberts, D., Fairchild, A., Campion, S., Garcia Jimenez, A., & Wolff, R. (2016). Bringing the client and therapist together in virtual reality telepresence exposure therapy. In P. Sharkey, & A. Rizzo (Eds.), Proceedings of the 11th international conference on disability, virtual reality and associated technologies (ICDVRAT 2016) (157-163). University of Reading

We present a technology demonstrator of the potential utility of our telepresence approach to supporting tele-therapy, in which client and remote therapist are immersed together. The aim is to demonstrate an approach in which a wide range of non-verb... Read More about Bringing the client and therapist together in virtual reality telepresence exposure therapy.

A metric for predicting binaural speech intelligibility in stationary noise and competing speech maskers (2016)
Journal Article

One criterion in the design of binaural sound scenes in audio production is the extent to which the intended speech message is correctly understood. Object-based audio broadcasting systems have permitted sound editors to gain more access to the metad...
