A robust data-driven approach to the decoding of pyloric neuron activity (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
dos Santos, F., Andras, P., Collins, D., & Lam, K. (2017). A robust data-driven approach to the decoding of pyloric neuron activity. In 2017 IEEE International Workshop on Signal Processing Systems (SiPS). https://doi.org/10.1109/SiPS.2017.8110017

The combination of intra and extra-cellular recording of small neuronal circuits such as stomatogastric nervous systems of the crab (Cancer borealis) is well documented and routinely practised. Voltage sensitive dye imaging (VSDi) is a promising tech... Read More about A robust data-driven approach to the decoding of pyloric neuron activity.

Innovation in corrosion monitoring in sewers - use of novel photonic sensors for humidity measurements in gravity sewers (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bustamante, H., Alwis, L. S. M., Grattan, K. T. V., Sun, T., Vorreiter, L., & González, J. (2017, May). Innovation in corrosion monitoring in sewers - use of novel photonic sensors for humidity measurements in gravity sewers. Presented at Ozwater'17

Humidity plays a key role in microbiologically induced corrosion of concrete gravity sewers. Minor reductions in humidity can reduce corrosion rates. No reliable long lived (>1 week) humidity sensors are available, thus limiting the development of us...

Combining Forward and Reverse Osmosis for Shale Gas Wastewater Treatment to Minimize Cost and Freshwater Consumption (2017)
Book Chapter
Salcedo-Díaz, R., Ruiz-Femenia, R., Carrero-Parreño, A., Onishi, V. C., Reyes-Labarta, J. A., & Caballero, J. A. (2017). Combining Forward and Reverse Osmosis for Shale Gas Wastewater Treatment to Minimize Cost and Freshwater Consumption. In A. Espuña,

One of the challenges for the future of the shale gas production industry is the water management due to the large demand of water for wells drilling and fracturing and the high volumes of liquid effluent produced. On-site treatment is a convenient o... Read More about Combining Forward and Reverse Osmosis for Shale Gas Wastewater Treatment to Minimize Cost and Freshwater Consumption.

Multistage Membrane Distillation for the Treatment of Shale Gas Flowback Water: Multi-Objective Optimization under Uncertainty (2017)
Book Chapter
Carrero-Parreño, A., Onishi, V. C., Ruiz-Femenia, R., Salcedo-Díaz, R., Caballero, J. A., & Reyes-Labarta, J. A. (2017). Multistage Membrane Distillation for the Treatment of Shale Gas Flowback Water: Multi-Objective Optimization under Uncertainty. In A

In this work, we analyze the effect of shale gas well data uncertainty on the multi-objective optimization of a multistage direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) model. The uncertain parameters, flowrate and salt concentration of the flowback wa...
