Reducing jerk for bimanual control with virtual reality (2019)
Thesis
Hill, S. (in press). Reducing jerk for bimanual control with virtual reality. (Thesis). University of Salford

This work explores interaction in virtual environments where bimanual operations lacking kinematic constraints, such as a pair of tracked controllers held in free space, are mapped to a target object that obeys a constraint, such as a pair of gripper...

Biologically-inspired transport of solid spherical nanoparticles in an electrically-conducting viscoelastic fluid with heat transfer (2019)
Journal Article

Bio-inspired pumping systems exploit a variety of mechanisms including peristalsis to achieve more efficient propulsion. Non-conducting, uniformly dispersed, spherical nano-sized solid particles suspended in viscoelastic medium forms a complex workin...

A new Local Fractional Entropy-Based model for kidney MRI image enhancement (2018)
Journal Article
Al-Shamasneh, A. R., Jalab, H. A., Palaiahnakote, S., Hanum Obaidellah, U., Ibrahim, R. W., & El-Melegy, M. T. (2018). A new Local Fractional Entropy-Based model for kidney MRI image enhancement. Entropy, https://doi.org/10.3390/e20050344

Kidney image enhancement is challenging due to the unpredictable quality of MRI images, as well as the nature of kidney diseases. The focus of this work is on kidney images enhancement by proposing a new Local Fractional Entropy (LFE)-based model. T...

The Interplay Between Cholesterol Metabolism and Intrinsic Ageing (2018)
Book Chapter

The last few decades have witnessed remarkable progress in our understanding of ageing. From an evolutionary standpoint it is generally accepted that ageing is a non-adaptive process which is underscored by a decrease in the force of natural selectio...

Machine learning and DSP algorithms for screening of possible osteoporosis using electronic stethoscopes (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Osteoporosis is a prevalent but asymptomatic condition that affects a large population of the elderly, resulting in a high risk of fracture. Several methods have been developed and are available in general hospitals to indirectly assess the bone qual...
