An Automatic Self Shape-Shifting Soft Mobile Robot (A4SMR) (2022)
Journal Article
Al-Ibadi, M. A., Al-Assfor, F. K., & Al-Ibadi, A. (2022). An Automatic Self Shape-Shifting Soft Mobile Robot (A4SMR). Robotics, 11(6), 118. https://doi.org/10.3390/robotics11060118

This article proposes a mobile robot that is fully constructed and actuated by utilising a pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM). Several features are shown in this design including softness, lightweight, and shape change. The robot that has been designe...

Coordination of development and operations activities in agile software development (2022)
Thesis
Macarthy, R. Coordination of development and operations activities in agile software development. (Thesis). University of Salford

DevOps is described as a software engineering culture and philosophy that utilises cross-functional teams, to build test and release software faster and more reliably through automation. As an emerging concept, its definitions and best practices are... Read More about Coordination of development and operations activities in agile software development.

Near-wall modeling of forests for atmosphere boundary layers using lattice Boltzmann method on GPU (2022)
Journal Article
Shao, X., Santasmasas, M. C., Xue, X., Niu, J., Davidson, L., Revell, A. J., & Yao, H.-D. (2022). Near-wall modeling of forests for atmosphere boundary layers using lattice Boltzmann method on GPU. Engineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics, 16(1), 2143-2156. https://doi.org/10.1080/19942060.2022.2132420

In this paper, the simulation and modeling of the turbulent atmospheric boundary layers (ABLs) in the presence of forests are studied using a lattice Boltzmann method with large eddy simulation, which was implemented in the open-source program GASCAN...

A three-dimensional whole-body model to predict human walking on level ground (2022)
Journal Article
Hu, D., Howard, D., & Ren, L. (2022). A three-dimensional whole-body model to predict human walking on level ground. Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10237-022-01629-7

Predictive simulation of human walking has great potential in clinical motion analysis and rehabilitation engineering assessment, but large computational cost and reliance on measurement data to provide initial guess have limited its wide use. We dev... Read More about A three-dimensional whole-body model to predict human walking on level ground.

The effect of active prophage carriage on the virulence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (2022)
Thesis
Plahe, G. The effect of active prophage carriage on the virulence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. (Dissertation). University of Salford

The Liverpool epidemic strain (LES) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a key opportunistic pathogen and major cause of death in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. The bacterium establishes biofilm communities, contributing to immune evasion and adaptation to t...

Designing smart drilling fluids using modified nano silica to improve drilling operations in geothermal wells (2022)
Journal Article
Martin, C., Babaie, M., Nourian, A., & Nasr, G. (2022). Designing smart drilling fluids using modified nano silica to improve drilling operations in geothermal wells. Geothermics, 107(2), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geothermics.2022.102600

High pressure and high temperature (HPHT) conditions in geothermal wells have necessitated the need to develop thermally stable geothermal drilling mud systems to combat potential drilling complications. This is because mud fluids degrade under HPHT... Read More about Designing smart drilling fluids using modified nano silica to improve drilling operations in geothermal wells.

The role of serum biomarkers and oxidative stress in Ischemic Heart Disease (2022)
Thesis
Riley, C. The role of serum biomarkers and oxidative stress in Ischemic Heart Disease. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Ischemic heart disease also referred to as coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of death worldwide. The primary pathological mechanism underlying CAD is atherosclerosis, an inflammatory process associated with an accumulation of lipids an...

“Ageing in Place” and Urban Regeneration: Analysing the Role of Social Infrastructure (2022)
Journal Article
Lewis, C., Yarker, S., Hammond, M., Kavanagh, N., & Phillipson, C. (in press). “Ageing in Place” and Urban Regeneration: Analysing the Role of Social Infrastructure. Urban Planning, 7(4), https://doi.org/10.17645/up.v7i4.5689

This article explores the potential impact of future urban regeneration for older people “ageing in place” in an inner-city neighbourhood, Collyhurst, Manchester, UK. Collyhurst has been reshaped by de-industrialisation, demolition of housing, disinv... Read More about “Ageing in Place” and Urban Regeneration: Analysing the Role of Social Infrastructure.
