The effects of time-variant characteristics of unmanned aircraft system noise on reported annoyance (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Flight missions of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) are inherently unsteady due to the complex interactions between the environment (e.g., wind conditions) and the operative flight control system. These interactions result in the unsteadiness of the a... Read More about The effects of time-variant characteristics of unmanned aircraft system noise on reported annoyance.

On-field measurements following the EASA guidelines on noise measurements of unmanned aircraft systems lighter that 600 kg (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) have gained increasing attention, leading to the development of noise measurement protocols, such as the 2023 guidelines from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). These guidelines focus on noise measuremen... Read More about On-field measurements following the EASA guidelines on noise measurements of unmanned aircraft systems lighter that 600 kg.

Improving microgrid frequency stability through PI-PIDA-driven STATCOM optimization using a hybrid metaheuristic algorithm (2025)
Journal Article

Frequency instability caused by symmetrical and asymmetrical faults in a microgrid can cause significant oscillations and deviations from the nominal frequency. Therefore, there is a need to develop new control methods to ensure the rapid stabilizati...

Examining well-being and cognitive function in people with long Covid and ME/CFS, and age-matched healthy controls: A Case-Case-Control Study (2025)
Journal Article

Purpose
Well-being and cognitive function had not previously been compared between people with long COVID and people with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS). Therefore, this study examined well-being and cognitive function i...
