Journal Article
Guiver, C., Mueller, M., Hodgson, D., & Townley, S. (2016). Robust set-point regulation for ecological models with multiple management goals. Journal of Mathematical Biology, 72, 1467-1529. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00285-015-0919-7

Population managers will often have to deal with problems of meeting multiple goals, for example, keeping at specific levels both the total population and population abundances in given stage-classes of a stratified population. In control engineering... Read More about Robust set-point regulation for ecological models with multiple management goals.

Dynamic congestion charging: Investigating boundary effects when applying low-revenue tolls. (2015)
Journal Article
Stewart, K., & Ge, Y.-E. (2015). Dynamic congestion charging: Investigating boundary effects when applying low-revenue tolls. International Journal of Transportation, 3(2), 17-30

This paper investigates the impact of realistic congestion charging regimes where undesired boundary effects of imposing charges may occur and may be both temporal and spatial. Tolling regimes are developed with the primary aim to reduce system cost... Read More about Dynamic congestion charging: Investigating boundary effects when applying low-revenue tolls..

On the use of inclusion structure in fuzzy clustering algorithm in case of Gaussian membership functions (2015)
Journal Article
Nefti-Meziani, S., Oussalah, M., & Soufian, M. (2015). On the use of inclusion structure in fuzzy clustering algorithm in case of Gaussian membership functions. Journal of Intelligent and Fuzzy Systems, 28(4), 1477-1493. https://doi.org/10.3233/IFS-141407

This article addresses the problem of incorporating an inclusion structure in the general class of fuzzy c-means algorithms. Conventionally, all the classes of fuzzy clustering algorithms involve a distance structure as the main tool to compute the i...

This paper reviews work carried out at Edinburgh Napier University on the manufacture of anodes and cathodes for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) using electroless co-deposition of nickel and ceramic powders. Most of the work has been focused on anodes... Read More about Manufacture of solid oxide fuel cells using electroless c0deposition - a review of work carried out at Edinburgh Napier University..

A model of bus bunching under reliability-based passenger arrival patterns. (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fonzone, A., Schmöcker, J.-D., & Liu, R. (2015, August). A model of bus bunching under reliability-based passenger arrival patterns. Presented at 21st International Symposium on Transportation and Traffic Theory, Kobe, Japan

If bus service departure times are not completely unknown to the passengers, non-uniform passenger arrival patterns can be expected. We propose that passengers decide their arrival time at stops based on a continuous logit model that considers the ri...

Defining Acceptable Interaction for Universal Access (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Keates, S. (2015, August). Defining Acceptable Interaction for Universal Access. Presented at 9th International Conference, UAHCI 2015, Los Angeles, USA

Many new assistive input systems developed to meet the needs of users with functional impairments fail to make it out of the research laboratory and into regular use by the intended users. This paper examines some of the reasons for this and focuses... Read More about Defining Acceptable Interaction for Universal Access.

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...
