A method for constrained energy-maximising control of heaving wave-energy converters via a nonlinear frequency response (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Guiver, C. (2024, August). A method for constrained energy-maximising control of heaving wave-energy converters via a nonlinear frequency response. Presented at The 8th IEEE Conference on Control Technology and Applications (CCTA) 2024, Newcastle Upon Tyn

A theoretical grounding is presented for justifying how frequency domain methods may be applied in the determination of constrained extracted-energy maximising controls in wave-energy conversion applications subject to nonlinear models. A computation... Read More about A method for constrained energy-maximising control of heaving wave-energy converters via a nonlinear frequency response.

Smarter Facility Layout Design: Leveraging Worker Localisation Data to Minimise Travel Time and Alleviate Congestion (2024)
Journal Article
Aslan, A., Vasantha, G., El-Raoui, H., Quigley, J., Hanson, J., Corney, J., & Sherlock, A. (in press). Smarter Facility Layout Design: Leveraging Worker Localisation Data to Minimise Travel Time and Alleviate Congestion. International Journal of Productio

This paper introduces a novel methodology leveraging worker localisation data from ultrawide-band sensors to formulate alternative facility layouts aimed at minimising travel time and congestion in labour-intensive manufacturing systems. The system p... Read More about Smarter Facility Layout Design: Leveraging Worker Localisation Data to Minimise Travel Time and Alleviate Congestion.

‘Who do you think you are?’ A longitudinal study of Scotland’s destination management (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Anastasiadou, C., & Hejjas, K. (2024, June). ‘Who do you think you are?’ A longitudinal study of Scotland’s destination management. Presented at ATLAS Leisure & Tourism 2030: Navigating the Future, Breda, Netherlands

Organizational structures and models for destination management have been changing in response to disruptions in the operational environment (Dredge, 2016) requiring traditional DMOs to shift their organisational models, leadership behaviours and col...

How thermal treatment affects the chemical composition and the physical, mechanical and swelling properties of Scots pine juvenile and mature wood (2024)
Journal Article
Broda, M., Popescu, C.-M., Poszwa, K., & Roszyk, E. (2024). How thermal treatment affects the chemical composition and the physical, mechanical and swelling properties of Scots pine juvenile and mature wood. Wood science and technology, 58(3), 1153-1180.

High variations in juvenile wood properties in the radial direction and its worse performance than mature wood make it less suitable for some applications and often treated as waste material. This study aimed to assess how thermal modification affect...
