Autistic listening (2019)
Presentation / Conference
Davies, W. (2019, November). Autistic listening. Presented at Aural Diversity, Leicester, UK

Autism is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition diagnosed by differences in social interaction and communication. Most autistic people also experience atypical sensory processing (e.g., a heightened sensitivity to sound or texture). Nearly all auti... Read More about Autistic listening.

Unsteady aerodynamic modeling and control of pusher and tilt-rotor quadplane configurations (2019)
Journal Article
Govdeli, Y., Moheed Bin Muzaffar, S., Raj, R., Elhadidi, B., & Kayacan, E. (2019). Unsteady aerodynamic modeling and control of pusher and tilt-rotor quadplane configurations. Aerospace science and technology, 94, 105421. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ast.2019.105421

A nonlinear unsteady aerodynamics model is coupled with a three degree of freedom quadplane to control the forward and backward transition between hover and steady level flight. The unsteady lift and drag forces are modeled using a lumped vortex mode... Read More about Unsteady aerodynamic modeling and control of pusher and tilt-rotor quadplane configurations.

Systems-Based Mechanisms of Aging (2019)
Book Chapter
Proctor, C. J., Morgan, A. E., & Mc Auley, M. T. (2019). Systems-Based Mechanisms of Aging. In Encyclopedia of Biomedical Gerontology (332-345). Elsevier. https://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-12-801238-3.11424-2

The last number of decades have witnessed an unrelenting global rise in the number of older people. This demographic shift is laudable; however, many older people are burdened by poor health. The main reason so many older people have their healthspan... Read More about Systems-Based Mechanisms of Aging.

Ultrashort nonautonomous similariton solutions and the cascade tunneling of interacting similaritons (2019)
Journal Article

Similarity transformation and Hirota bilinearization are deployed to derive exact bright and dark ultrashort
one- and two-similariton solutions of a nonautonomous cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Such wave packets
may emerge when group... Read More about Ultrashort nonautonomous similariton solutions and the cascade tunneling of interacting similaritons.

Validation of a low-cost Electromyography (EMG) system via a commercial and accurate EMG device : pilot study (2019)
Journal Article
Fuentes del Toro, S., Wei, Y., Olmeda, E., Ren, L., Wei, G., & Díaz, V. (2019). Validation of a low-cost Electromyography (EMG) system via a commercial and accurate EMG device : pilot study. Sensors, 19(23), e5214. https://doi.org/10.3390/s19235214

Electromyography (EMG) devices are well-suited for measuring the behaviour of muscles during an exercise or a task, and are widely used in many different research areas. Their disadvantage is that commercial systems are expensive. We designed a low-c...
