Metamaterial-based sensor for skin disease diagnostics (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
La Spada, L., Iovine, R., Tarparelli, R., & Vegni, L. (2013, May). Metamaterial-based sensor for skin disease diagnostics. Presented at SPIE Microtechnologies, Grenoble, France

Skin absorption properties, under diseases conditions, are modified due to the structural variations of chromophores and pigments. The measurement of such different absorptions can be a useful tool for the recognition of different skin diseases. In t... Read More about Metamaterial-based sensor for skin disease diagnostics.

Patent
HARRISON, I., KERMANI, A., & MUNIR, S. (2013). "Portal Frame”. A portal frame with header and column connector. 2496577 (A). The UK Patent Office

A portal frame, for example a door or window, comprising at least one header 20, at least a first column 30 and at least one frame connector 50 for rigidly connecting the first column to the header. The connector comprises a lateral header connector... Read More about "Portal Frame”. A portal frame with header and column connector..

Feasibility of cross-laminated timber production from UK Sitka Spruce. (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Crawford, D., Hairstans, R., & Smith, R. E. (2013). Feasibility of cross-laminated timber production from UK Sitka Spruce.

Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) is an innovative wood product, which can be used for almost all superstructure elements. It is generally produced from kiln dried, fast growing timber. Currently the majority of CLT used within the UK construction industr... Read More about Feasibility of cross-laminated timber production from UK Sitka Spruce..

Multi resonant platform based on modified metallic nanoparticles for biological tissue characterization (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Iovine, R., La Spada, L., Tarparelli, R., & Vegni, L. (2013, May). Multi resonant platform based on modified metallic nanoparticles for biological tissue characterization. Presented at SPIE Optical Metrology 2013, Munich, Germany

In this contribution optical properties of new metallic nanoparticles for biomedical applications are investigated. These particles consist of a pair of opposing gold prisms with asymmetric dielectric holes. In this configuration the structure exhibi...

A survey of underactuated mechanical systems (2013)
Journal Article
Liu, Y., & Yu, H. (2013). A survey of underactuated mechanical systems. IET Control Theory and Applications, 7(7), 921-935. https://doi.org/10.1049/iet-cta.2012.0505

An underactuated mechanical system (UMS) is a system which has fewer independent control actuators than degrees of freedom to be controlled. Control of UMS is considered as one of the most active fields of research because of its diverse engineering... Read More about A survey of underactuated mechanical systems.

Fabrication and characterisation of planar and tubular solid oxide fuel cell anodes (2013)
Thesis
Zhang, Y. Fabrication and characterisation of planar and tubular solid oxide fuel cell anodes. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6071

Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) are energy conversion devices that convert the chemical energy of a fuel directly into electricity and useful heat, where the latter is recovered at the device’s high working temperature. SOFCs have become important in... Read More about Fabrication and characterisation of planar and tubular solid oxide fuel cell anodes.
