Influence of non-thermal plasma after-treatment technology on diesel engine particulate matter composition and NOx concentration (2015)
Journal Article
Babaie, M., Kishi, T., Arai, M., Zama, Y., Furuhata, T., Rahimzadeh, H., & Brown, R. (2016). Influence of non-thermal plasma after-treatment technology on diesel engine particulate matter composition and NOx concentration. International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology, 13, 221-230. https://doi.org/10.1007/s13762-015-0865-3

The effect of non-thermal plasma technology for particulate matter removal and nitrogen oxide emission reduction from diesel exhaust has been investigated. A sample of exhaust was cooled to the ambient temperature and passed through a dielectric barr...

Hobson’s choice : security and privacy permissions in Android and iOS devices (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Hegarty, R., Hughes-Roberts, T., & Haggerty, J. (2015, August). Hobson’s choice : security and privacy permissions in Android and iOS devices. Presented at HCI International 2015, Los Angeles, USA

The use of smartphones and tablet devices has grown rapidly over recent years and the widespread availability of software, often from unknown developers, has led to security and privacy concerns. In order to prevent security compromises, these device... Read More about Hobson’s choice : security and privacy permissions in Android and iOS devices.

Metamorphic hand based grasp constraint and affordance (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Wei, G., Sun, J., Zhang, X., Pensky, D., Piater, J., & Dai, J. (2015, August). Metamorphic hand based grasp constraint and affordance. Presented at American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) 2015 International Design Engineering Technical Conferences & Computers and Information in Engineering Conferences (IDETC/CIE 2015), Boston, USA

This paper presents the kinematics and grasp constraint and affordance of a newly designed mobile manipulator with a three- fingered metamorphic robotic hand. Structure design of the mobile manipulator, which contains a Robotino 3.0, a customised robo... Read More about Metamorphic hand based grasp constraint and affordance.

Extrusion detection of illegal files in cloud-based systems (2015)
Journal Article
Hegarty, R., & Haggerty, J. (2015). Extrusion detection of illegal files in cloud-based systems. International Journal of Space-Based and Situated Computing, 5(3), 150-158. https://doi.org/10.1504/IJSSC.2015.070954

Cloud-based architectures have become the predominant paradigm for organisational infrastructure development due to the flexibility and scalability that these systems provide. However, issues around privacy and trust in such environments remain as ha... Read More about Extrusion detection of illegal files in cloud-based systems.

Navigating the mix-space : theoretical and practical level-balancing technique in multitrack music mixtures (2015)
Book Chapter
Wilson, A., & Fazenda, B. (2015). Navigating the mix-space : theoretical and practical level-balancing technique in multitrack music mixtures. In The 12th Sound and Music Computing Conference, Music Technology Research Group, Dept. of Computer Science, Maynooth University, Maynooth, Co. Kildare, Ireland. Sound and Music Computing

The mixing of audio signals has been at the foundation of
audio production since the advent of electrical recording in the 1920’s, yet the mathematical and psychological bases for this activity are relatively under-studied. This paper investigates h...

Hydrodynamic modelling of free water-surface constructed storm water wetlands using a finite volume technique (2015)
Journal Article
Zounemat-Kermani, M., Scholz, M., & Tondar, M. (2015). Hydrodynamic modelling of free water-surface constructed storm water wetlands using a finite volume technique. Environmental Technology, 36(20), 2532-2547. https://doi.org/10.1080/09593330.2015.1036785

One of the key factors in designing free water-surface constructed wetlands (FWS CW) is the hydraulic efficiency (λ), which depends primarily on the retention time of the polluted storm water. Increasing the hydraulic retention time (HRT) at various... Read More about Hydrodynamic modelling of free water-surface constructed storm water wetlands using a finite volume technique.

Estrogen related receptor α (ERRα) a promising target for the therapy of adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) (2015)
Journal Article

The pathogenesis of the adrenocortical cancer (ACC) involves integration of molecular signals and the interplay of different downstream pathways (i.e. IGFII/IGF1R, β-catenin, Wnt, ESR1). This tumor is characterized by limited therapeutic options and... Read More about Estrogen related receptor α (ERRα) a promising target for the therapy of adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC).

Geochemical characteristics of soils in Fezzan, Sahara desert : implications for environment and agriculture (2015)
Journal Article
Maryol, E., & Lin, C. (2015). Geochemical characteristics of soils in Fezzan, Sahara desert : implications for environment and agriculture. Journal of Geochemical Exploration, 158, 122-131. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gexplo.2015.07.009

An investigation was conducted to geochemically characterize the soils in Fezzan of the Sahara desert in order to
assess (a) the role of the soils as a carbon store, (b) the potential risk of the fine-grained soil fraction as a dust
source, and (c)... Read More about Geochemical characteristics of soils in Fezzan, Sahara desert : implications for environment and agriculture.
