Towards a Unified Framework for Software-Hardware Integration in Evolutionary Robotics (2024)
Journal Article
Buchanan, E., Le Goff, L. K., Hale, M. F., Hart, E., Eiben, A. E., De Carlo, M., Angus, M., Woolley, R., Timmis, J., Winfield, A. F., & Tyrrell, A. M. (2024). Towards a Unified Framework for Software-Hardware Integration in Evolutionary Robotics. Robotics, 13(11), Article 157. https://doi.org/10.3390/robotics13110157

The discrepancy between simulated and hardware experiments, the reality gap, is a challenge in evolutionary robotics. While strategies have been proposed to address this gap in fixed-body robots, they are not viable when dealing with populations and...

Position paper: Public policy implications in publicly funded infrastructure projects (2024)
Journal Article
Al Naqbi, K. K. M., Ojiako, U., Al-mhdawi, M., Chipulu, M., Dweiri, F., Bashir, H., & AlRaeesi, E. J. H. (online). Position paper: Public policy implications in publicly funded infrastructure projects. Smart and Sustainable Built Environment, https://doi.org/10.1108/sasbe-06-2024-0225

Purpose
This essay contributes to the ongoing exposition of a project management-focused understanding of “public policy” implementation. Distinct from previous studies that take a predominantly administrative sciences perspective, the delivery and...

Evaluating the effectiveness of the ‘eco-cooler’ for passive home cooling (2024)
Journal Article
Bunker, A., Lundgren Kownacki, K., Sarker, S., Bari, R., Sarker, M., Buonocore, J. J., Geldsetzer, P., Revstedt, J., & Bärnighausen, T. (2024). Evaluating the effectiveness of the ‘eco-cooler’ for passive home cooling. npj Climate Action, 3(1), Article 94. https://doi.org/10.1038/s44168-024-00165-7

Constructed with used plastic bottles, the eco-cooler has been widely adopted in resource-poor communities in Bangladesh and other countries. We tested the eco-cooler under controlled conditions using a scientific wind tunnel in a climatic chamber. I...

Game-theoretic optimization strategy for maximizing profits to both end-users and suppliers in building rooftop PV-based microgrids (2024)
Journal Article
Luo, J., Panchabikesan, K., Lai, K.-H., Olawumi, T. O., Mewomo, M. C., & Liu, Z. (2024). Game-theoretic optimization strategy for maximizing profits to both end-users and suppliers in building rooftop PV-based microgrids. Energy, 313, Article 133715. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.energy.2024.133715

Rooftop photovoltaic (PV) with battery storage offers a promising avenue for enhancing renewable energy integration in buildings. Creating microgrids with backup power from closely spaced solar buildings is widely recognized as an effective strategy....

Investigation of brain response to acquisition and learning the second languages based on EEG signals and machine learning techniques (2024)
Journal Article
Aldhaheria, T. A., Kulkarni, S. B., Bhise, P. R., & Ghaleb, B. (2024). Investigation of brain response to acquisition and learning the second languages based on EEG signals and machine learning techniques. Cogent Arts & Humanities, 11(1), Article 2416759. https://doi.org/10.1080/23311983.2024.2416759

Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) and neurolinguistics have become vital areas of scientific inquiry, focusing on neural mechanisms in language acquisition. While studies have examined brain activity during language learning, there’s a need for validat...
