Dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC) have become a topic of significant research in the last two decades because of their fundamental and scientific importance in the area of energy conversion. Ease of fabrication with widely available materials coupled... Read More about Review on natural dye sensitized solar cells: Operation, materials and methods.

Chaos-based diffusion for highly autocorrelated data in encryption algorithms (2015)
Journal Article
Ahmad, J., & Hwang, S. O. (2015). Chaos-based diffusion for highly autocorrelated data in encryption algorithms. Nonlinear Dynamics, 82(4), 1839-1850. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11071-015-2281-0

In a single substitution box, the same regions (pixels) of an image are encrypted to one unique symbol. To reduce this type of autocorrelation in data, chaos has been extensively applied over the last decade. By using chaotic maps, a single substitut...

Adaptive rendering with linear predictions (2015)
Journal Article
Moon, B., Iglesias-Guitian, J. A., Yoon, S., & Mitchell, K. (2015). Adaptive rendering with linear predictions. ACM transactions on graphics, 34(4), 121:1-121:11. https://doi.org/10.1145/2766992

We propose a new adaptive rendering algorithm that enhances the performance of Monte Carlo ray tracing by reducing the noise, i.e., variance, while preserving a variety of high-frequency edges in rendered images through a novel prediction based re...

Body-worn sensors in Parkinson's disease: evaluating their acceptability to patients (2015)
Journal Article
Fisher, J. M., Hammerla, N. Y., Rochester, L., Andras, P., & Walker, R. W. (2016). Body-worn sensors in Parkinson's disease: evaluating their acceptability to patients. Telemedicine and e-Health, 22(1), 63-69. https://doi.org/10.1089/tmj.2015.0026

Background:Remote monitoring of symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD) using body-worn sensors would assist treatment decisions and evaluation of new treatments. To date, a rigorous, systematic evaluation of the acceptability of body-worn sensors in PD... Read More about Body-worn sensors in Parkinson's disease: evaluating their acceptability to patients.

Façade refurbishment of existing office buildings: Do conventional energy-saving interventions always work? (2015)
Journal Article
Pomponi, F., Farr, E. R., Piroozfar, P., & Gates, J. R. (2015). Façade refurbishment of existing office buildings: Do conventional energy-saving interventions always work?. Journal of Building Engineering, 3, 135-143. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jobe.2015.07.003

Offices account for 40% of energy use in construction sector. Office building stock is already under-performing and dilapidating at a fast pace. With the current rate of replacing old building stock in the UK, it is expected that at least 60% of what...

Numerical correlation for the pressure drop in Stirling engine heat exchangers (2015)
Journal Article
Barreno, I., Costa, S., Cordon, M., Tutar, M., Urrutibeascoa, I., Gomez, X., & Castillo, G. (2015). Numerical correlation for the pressure drop in Stirling engine heat exchangers. International Journal of Thermal Sciences, 97, 68-81. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijthermalsci.2015.06.014

New correlation equations, to be valid for the pressure drop and heat exchange calculation under the developing transitional reciprocating flow encountered in Stirling heat exchangers are numerically derived. Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) eq... Read More about Numerical correlation for the pressure drop in Stirling engine heat exchangers.

Modeling and Analysis of DIPPM: A New Modulation Scheme for Visible Light Communications (2015)
Journal Article
Jan, S. U., Lee, Y., & Koo, I. (2015). Modeling and Analysis of DIPPM: A New Modulation Scheme for Visible Light Communications. Journal of Sensors, 2015, Article 963296. https://doi.org/10.1155/2015/963296

Visible Light Communication (VLC) uses an Intensity-Modulation and Direct-Detection (IM/DD) scheme to transmit data. However, the light source used in VLC systems is continuously switched on and off quickly, resulting in flickering. In addition, rece...
