The Weibull–Lognormal Fading Channel: Analysis, Simulation, and Validation (2008)
Journal Article
Karadimas, P., & Kotsopoulos, S. (2009). The Weibull–Lognormal Fading Channel: Analysis, Simulation, and Validation. IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, 58(7), 3808-3813. https://doi.org/10.1109/tvt.2008.2002697

In frequency-nonselective fading channels, the partial waves arriving at the mobile receiver cannot explicitly be of homogeneous nature due to nonuniform scattering caused by objects of specific reflective nature. Moreover, shadowing influences the r... Read More about The Weibull–Lognormal Fading Channel: Analysis, Simulation, and Validation.

You are where you have been. (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Clarke, R. A., & Wigan, M. (2008, July). You are where you have been. Presented at Seminar on 'Location Privacy'

Location is a critical aspect of both privacy and surveillance. A detailed record of locations allows all sorts of other information to be linked together, adding to information about the subject and his or her associates in the same way that a uniq... Read More about You are where you have been..

Analysis and Control of a Capsubot (2008)
Journal Article
Liu, Y., Yu, H., & Yang, T. (2008). Analysis and Control of a Capsubot. IFAC papers online, 41(2), 756-761. https://doi.org/10.3182/20080706-5-kr-1001.00130

In this paper, a special underactuated system – a capsule robot, also called capsubot, is studied to investigate the tracking control issue of underactuated dynamic systems. A seven-step motion strategy of the capsubot is proposed. A trajectory profi... Read More about Analysis and Control of a Capsubot.

Eight-node membrane element with drilling degrees of freedom for analysis of in-plane stiffness of thick floor plates (2008)
Journal Article
Zhang, H., & Kuang, J. S. (2008). Eight-node membrane element with drilling degrees of freedom for analysis of in-plane stiffness of thick floor plates. International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, 76(13), 2117-2136. https://doi.org/10.1002/nme.2395

The development of eight-node arbitrary quadrilateral membrane elements with drilling degrees of freedom is presented using the compatible displacement interpolation within the element. The element is considered to develop specifically for analysing...

Simulations and experiments of self-associating telechelic polymer solutions (2008)
Journal Article
Cass, M. J., Heyes, D. M., Blanchard, R., & English, R. J. (2008). Simulations and experiments of self-associating telechelic polymer solutions. Journal of physics. an Institute of Physics journal. Condensed matter, 20(33), 335103. https://doi.org/10.1088/0953-8984/20/33/335103

A Brownian dynamics computer simulation study of a highly coarse-grained model of telechelic associating polymers has been carried out. In a critical concentration range the model produces the so-called 'loops-to-bridges' transition, thought to exist...

Design of Beam Steering Antenna Array for RFID Reader Using Fully Controlled RF Switches (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zhou, D., Abd-Alhameed, R. A., Excell, P. S., See, C. H., M. Abusitta, M., Hu, Y., & McEWan, N. (2008). Design of Beam Steering Antenna Array for RFID Reader Using Fully Controlled RF Switches.

An approach of using beam steering antenna array for RFID reader is applied as an effective strategy to improve performance of an RFID system under the constraint that the tag, reader and protocol design cannot be modified. The antenna beam steering wa... Read More about Design of Beam Steering Antenna Array for RFID Reader Using Fully Controlled RF Switches.
