Experimental and theoretical confirmation of an orthorhombic phase transition in niobium at high pressure and temperature (2020)
Journal Article
Errandonea, D., Burakovsky, L., Preston, D., MacLeod, S., Santamaría-Perez, D., Chen, S., …Mezouar, M. (2020). Experimental and theoretical confirmation of an orthorhombic phase transition in niobium at high pressure and temperature. communications materials, 1, 60. https://doi.org/10.1038/s43246-020-00058-2

Compared to other body-centered cubic (bcc) transition metals, Nb has been the subject of fewer compression studies and there are still aspects of its phase diagram which are unclear. Here, we report a combined theoretical and experimental study of N...

Handling temporal constraints in interaction protocols for intelligent multi-agent systems (2020)
Journal Article
Qasim, A., Iqbal, S., Aziz, Z., Kazmi, S. A. R., Munawar, A., Gilani, B. A., & Qasim, N. (2020). Handling temporal constraints in interaction protocols for intelligent multi-agent systems. International journal on smart sensing and intelligent systems (Online), 13(1), 1-15. https://doi.org/10.21307/ijssis-2020-020

This research focuses on handling temporal constraints in interaction protocols for multi-agent systems. There is a dire need of standardized interaction protocols that can be used to handle timing aspects in real-time multi-agent system’s negotiatio...

Automated recognition of postures and drinking behaviour for the detection of compromised health in pigs (2020)
Journal Article
Alameer, A., Kryiazakis, I., & Bacardit, J. (2020). Automated recognition of postures and drinking behaviour for the detection of compromised health in pigs. Scientific reports, 10, 13665. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-70688-6

Changes in pig behaviours are a useful aid in detecting early signs of compromised health and welfare. In commercial settings, automatic detection of pig behaviours through visual imaging remains a challenge due to farm demanding conditions, e.g., oc...

An investigation into the roles of chlorides and sulphate salts on the performance of low salinity injection in sandstone reservoirs : experimental approach (2020)
Journal Article
Al-otaibi, A. (2020). An investigation into the roles of chlorides and sulphate salts on the performance of low salinity injection in sandstone reservoirs : experimental approach. Journal of Petroleum Exploration and Production Technologies, 10(7), 2857-2871. https://doi.org/10.1007/s13202-020-00972-8

Numerous studies have been carried out to ascertain the mechanisms of low salinity and smart water flooding technique for improved oil recovery. Focus were often on brine composition and, specifically the cationic content in sandstone reservoirs. Giv...

Predicted aerodynamic damping of slender single beam structures in across-wind vibrations (2020)
Journal Article
Nguyen, C., & Nguyen, D. (2020). Predicted aerodynamic damping of slender single beam structures in across-wind vibrations. Acta mechanica Sinica = Li xue xue bao / the Chinese Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, 36(5), 990-998. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10409-020-00981-0

The paper presents a generalization of the conventional analytical approach where the quasi-steady theory is utilised to evaluate the across-wind aerodynamic damping of slender single beam structures. This generalized theory considers the variation o... Read More about Predicted aerodynamic damping of slender single beam structures in across-wind vibrations.

Temperature is a key factor influencing the invasion and proliferation of Toxoplasma gondii in fish cells (2020)
Journal Article
Yang, Y., Yu, S., Chen, K., Hide, G., Lun, Z., & Lai, D. (2020). Temperature is a key factor influencing the invasion and proliferation of Toxoplasma gondii in fish cells. Experimental Parasitology, 217, 107966. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.exppara.2020.107966

Toxoplasma gondii has long been considered a ubiquitous parasite possessing the capacity of infecting virtually all warm-blooded animals globally. Occasionally, this parasite can also infect cold-blooded animals such as fish if their body temperature...

Enhanced gas recovery by nitrogen injection : the effects of injection velocity during natural gas displacement in consolidated rocks (2020)
Journal Article
Mohammed, N., Abbas, A., Enyi, G., Edem, D., & Suleiman, S. (2020). Enhanced gas recovery by nitrogen injection : the effects of injection velocity during natural gas displacement in consolidated rocks. Journal of Natural Gas Science and Engineering, 83, 103513. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jngse.2020.103513

The choice of the flow velocity in EGR thus becomes important since higher injection rates could lead to premature mixing of the fluids and lower injection rates generally provide longer resident times for the fluids in contact and indirectly incre...
