Motivated by recent developments in bio-inspired medical engineering microscale pumps, in
the present article a 3-dimensional sequential simulation of a peristaltic micro-pump is
described to provide deeper insight into the hydromechanics of lamina... Read More about Computational fluid dynamics simulation and visualization of Newtonian and non-Newtonian transport in a peristaltic micro-pump.

Tension vector and structure matrix associated force sensitivity of a 6-DOF cable-driven parallel robot (2021)
Journal Article
Chen, Q., Lin, Q., Wei, G., & Ren, L. (2022). Tension vector and structure matrix associated force sensitivity of a 6-DOF cable-driven parallel robot. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science, 236(1), 100-114. https://doi.org/10.1177/09544062211026344

This paper investigates the force sensitivity of 6-DOF cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs) in order to propose a better force measurement device. Kinematics and dynamics for a CDPR of n-DOF are deduced and formulated, and algorithms for calculating...

Bat phylogenetic responses to regenerating Amazonian forests (2021)
Journal Article

Throughout the tropics, regenerating secondary forests occupy vast areas previously cleared for agriculture and cattle ranching. However, despite the importance of regenerating forests in mitigating the pervasive negative consequences of forest loss...

Enabling urban social farming : the need for radical green infrastructure in the city (2021)
Journal Article

With the global population set to reach 9.8 billion by 2050, there are concerns that health services are beginning to be stretched beyond working limits, particularly in the Global North, where many nations face ageing populations and similar obstacl...

Experimental study on the triaxial mechanical behaviors of the Cemented Paste Backfill : effect of curing time, drainage conditions and curing temperature (2021)
Journal Article

The application of CPB (Cemented Paste Backfill) can realize the clean, efficient, and safe mining of underground metal mines. Clear understanding on the triaxial mechanical properties of CPB is important to the CPB design and the stability analysis...

Multiple slip effects on nanofluid dissipative flow in a converging/diverging channel: A numerical study (2021)
Journal Article
Beg, O., Beg, T., Khan, W. A., & Uddin, M. J. (2022). Multiple slip effects on nanofluid dissipative flow in a converging/diverging channel: A numerical study. Heat Transfer, 51(1), 1040-1061. https://doi.org/10.1002/htj.22341

AbstractA mathematical model is developed for viscous slip flow and heat transfer in water/Ethylene glycol‐based nanofluids containing metallic oxide nanoparticles, through a converging/diverging channel. We adopt the single‐phase Tiwari–Das model. T... Read More about Multiple slip effects on nanofluid dissipative flow in a converging/diverging channel: A numerical study.

Simultaneous expression of UV and violet SWS1 opsins expands the visual palette in a group of freshwater snakes (2021)
Journal Article

Snakes are known to express a rod visual opsin and two cone opsins, only (SWS1, LWS), a reduced palette resulting from their supposedly fossorial origins. Dipsadid snakes in the genus Helicops are highly visual predators that successfully invaded fre...

Transformation towards risk-sensitive urban development : a systematic review of the issues and challenges (2021)
Journal Article

Risk-sensitive urban development is an innovative planning approach that can transform the way cities are built to face uncertainties that arise from climate-induced disaster risks. However, the potential to initiate such a transformative approach ha... Read More about Transformation towards risk-sensitive urban development : a systematic review of the issues and challenges.

SnoRNAs and miRNAs networks underlying COVID-19 disease severity (2021)
Journal Article

There is a lack of predictive markers for early and rapid identification of disease progression in COVID-19 patients. Our study aims at identifying microRNAs (miRNAs)/small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) as potential biomarkers of COVID-19 severity. Using...

Size effects in unreinforced and lightly reinforced concrete beams failing in flexure (2021)
Journal Article
Augusthus Nelson, L., Lees, J., & Weekes, L. (2022). Size effects in unreinforced and lightly reinforced concrete beams failing in flexure. Engineering Fracture Mechanics, 259, 107987. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.engfracmech.2021.107987

Fracture-based models commonly use a characteristic length as the basis for
determining size effects in concrete beams. The characteristic length is related
to the concrete fracture process zone and defined in terms of the concrete fracture propert... Read More about Size effects in unreinforced and lightly reinforced concrete beams failing in flexure.
