Book Chapter
Guimaraes Sales, N. (2023). Environmental and Invertebrate-Derived DNA: A Powerful Approach for Surveying and Monitoring Biodiversity. In P. M. Galetti Jr. (Ed.), Conservation Genetics in the Neotropics. (1). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-34854-9

To know the organisms that surround us has always seemed a fascinating idea and a necessity to characterize an area and estimate its natural values. However, performing complete surveys of the organisms is not always an easy task, because some of the...

A Robust SLIC Based Approach for Segmentation using Canny Edge Detector (2023)
Journal Article

An accurate image segmentation in noisy environment is complex and challenging. Unlike existing state-of-the-art methods that use superpixels for successful segmentation, we propose a new approach for noise-robust SLIC (Simple Linear Iterative Cluste...

Journal Article
Fabian, P. R., Archer, M., Hand, S. J., & Beck, R. M. (in press). First known extinct feathertail possums (Acrobatidae, Marsupialia): palaeobiodiversity, phylogenetics, palaeoecology and palaeogeography. Alcheringa, 1-22. https://doi.org/10.1080/03115518.2023.2242439

Four new fossil feathertail possum species (Marsupialia, Diprotodontia, Phalangerida, Petauroidea, Acrobatidae) are described from late Oligocene to middle Miocene fossil deposits in the Riversleigh World Heritage Area, northwestern Queensland. They... Read More about First known extinct feathertail possums (Acrobatidae, Marsupialia): palaeobiodiversity, phylogenetics, palaeoecology and palaeogeography.

Large-eddy simulations of wind flow passing a building cluster (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper presents high fidelity large-eddy simulations (LES) of wind flows with different directions passing a cluster of 2 × 2 aligned square cylinders, of which each has side length of D, at Reynolds number Re = 22, 000. A so-called 'cluster effe... Read More about Large-eddy simulations of wind flow passing a building cluster.

NAME – A Rich XML Format for Named Entity and Relation Tagging (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

We present NAME XML, a schema for named entities and relations in documents. The standout features are: option to reference a variety of document formats (such as PAGE XML or plain text), support of entity hierarchies, custom entity types via ontolog...

Control of Independently Rotating Wheels with MR Dampers (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper studies the control of independently rotating wheels (IRWs) in railway vehicles with the use of magnetorheological dampers. The development of a semi-active strategy for steering/guidance control is presented. A conventional bogie vehicle... Read More about Control of Independently Rotating Wheels with MR Dampers.

Using Smart Sensors to Track Woody Debris in Flume Experiments (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

When triggered by floods, large wood travels downstream accumulating around river structures that may cause structural damage and eventually collapse. The use of sensors embedded within the woody debris has been recently employed in the study of debr... Read More about Using Smart Sensors to Track Woody Debris in Flume Experiments.

Wedge resection versus lobectomy in T1 lung cancer patients: a propensity matched analysis (2023)
Journal Article
Moon, R. J., Taylor, R., Miklavc, P., Mehdi, S. B., Grant, S. W., & Bittar, M. N. (in press). Wedge resection versus lobectomy in T1 lung cancer patients: a propensity matched analysis. Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 18(1), 252. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13019-023-02303-4

Objectives: Performing wedge resection rather than lobectomy for primary lung cancer remains controversial. Recent studies demonstrate no survival advantage for non-anatomical resection compared to lobectomy in patients with early-stage lung cancer....

Modified Nonlinear Hysteresis Approach for a Tactile Sensor (2023)
Journal Article
Abdul-Hussain, G., Holderbaum, W., Theodoridis, T., & Wei, G. (in press). Modified Nonlinear Hysteresis Approach for a Tactile Sensor. Sensors, 23(16), 7293. https://doi.org/10.3390/s23167293

Soft tactile sensors based on piezoresistive materials have large-area sensing applications. However, their accuracy is often affected by hysteresis which poses a significant challenge during operation. This paper introduces a novel approach that emp...
