Integrated analysis of compaction, edge distortion and residual deformation of wind-turbine thick composite spar-cap (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Ammasai Sengodan, G., Joshi, S., & Chen, Z. (2015, July). Integrated analysis of compaction, edge distortion and residual deformation of wind-turbine thick composite spar-cap. Presented at ICCM International Conferences on Composite Materials, Copenhagen, Denmark

A scaled model of a unidirectional glass/epoxy wind turbine spar cap measuring 7.5 mm thick was cured in a vacuum assisted oven and noticed a non-uniform thickness along its length. Even though, a vacuum pressure of 1 bar applied to the laminate, the...

Altered Competitive Fitness, Antimicrobial Susceptibility, and Cellular Morphology in a Triclosan-Induced Small-Colony Variant of Staphylococcus aureus (2015)
Journal Article
Forbes, S., Latimer, J., Bazaid, A., & McBain, A. (2015). Altered Competitive Fitness, Antimicrobial Susceptibility, and Cellular Morphology in a Triclosan-Induced Small-Colony Variant of Staphylococcus aureus. Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 59(8), 4809-4816. https://doi.org/10.1128/AAC.00352-15

Staphylococcus aureus can produce small-colony variants (SCVs) that express various phenotypes. While their significance is unclear, SCV propagation may be influenced by relative fitness, antimicrobial susceptibility, and the underlying mechanism. We...

Stochastic unit commitment problem incorporating renewable energy power (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

It is necessary to incorporate wind and pumped storage plants in classical unit commitment problem due to the increase in use of renewable energy sources. The cost of power generation will be reduced due to inclusion of the renewable energy resources... Read More about Stochastic unit commitment problem incorporating renewable energy power.

Multi-DL-ReSuMe : multiple neurons delay learning remote supervised method (2015)
Book Chapter
Taherkhani, A., Belatreche, A., Li, Y., & Maguire, L. (2015). Multi-DL-ReSuMe : multiple neurons delay learning remote supervised method. In Proceedings of the International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (Article number 7280743). Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. https://doi.org/10.1109/IJCNN.2015.7280743

Spikes are an important part of information transmission between neurons in the biological brain. Biological evidence shows that information is carried in the timing of individual action potentials, rather than only the firing rate. Spiking neural ne...

Establishment of a coastal fish in the Azores : recent colonisation or sudden expansion of an ancient relict population? (2015)
Journal Article
expansion of an ancient relict population?. Heredity, 115, 527-537. https://doi.org/10.1038/hdy.2015.55

The processes and time scales associated with ocean-wide changes in the distribution of marine
species have intrigued biologists since Darwin’s earliest insights into biogeography. The Azores, a
mid-Atlantic volcanic archipelago located more than 1... Read More about Establishment of a coastal fish in the Azores : recent colonisation or sudden expansion of an ancient relict population?.

Post-glacial colonization of eastern Europe from the Carpathian refugium : evidence from mitochondrial DNA of the common vole Microtus arvalis. Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 115(4), 927-939. https://doi.org/10.1111/bij.12535

There is now considerable evidence for the survival of temperate species within glacial refugia that were situated at relatively high latitudes, notably the Carpathian Basin and Dordogne region in Europe. However, the prevalence of fossil remains in...
