Scottish cycling infrastructure and public health: a study of cyclist hand-arm vibration exposure (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Taylor, M. (2018, November). Scottish cycling infrastructure and public health: a study of cyclist hand-arm vibration exposure. Paper presented at 1st Annual Cycling Research Board Meeting, Amsterdam, Netherlands

The management of pavement surfaces for walking and cycling is currently a labour intensive task and relies upon user reporting defects and direct visual inspection. Local authorities are being pressed to cut budgets and reduce annual expenditure....

Journal Article
Bremer, K., Alwis, L. S. M., Weigand, F., Kuhne, M., Zheng, Y., Krüger, M., Helbig, R., & Roth, B. (2018). Evaluating the Performance of Functionalized Carbon Structures with Integrated Optical Fiber Sensors under Practical Conditions. Sensors, 18(11), 3923. https://doi.org/10.3390/s18113923

An Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometry (OFDR) based fiber optic sensor scheme “embedded” in concrete for the purpose of structural health monitoring (SHM) of carbon concrete composites (C3) is presented. The design, while strengthening the concret... Read More about Evaluating the Performance of Functionalized Carbon Structures with Integrated Optical Fiber Sensors under Practical Conditions.

Towards the Development of New Integrated Ultrasonic Filtration Systems for Monitoring Waterborne Pathogens (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerrouche, A. (2018, November). Towards the Development of New Integrated Ultrasonic Filtration Systems for Monitoring Waterborne Pathogens. Paper presented at 5th World Congress and Expo on Applied Microbiology, Edinburgh, Scotland

The detection of waterborne pathogens mainly relies on sample processing. This process concentrates large volume of water to very small volume that can be used under microscopes. The current approved concentration techniques are slow, very expensive,...

A Game-Based Approach for Hemiplegia Lower Limb Rehabilitation (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gian, K. S. M., Then, Y. L., Tay, F. S., Ahmed, J., & Vithanawasam, C. K. (2018, July). A Game-Based Approach for Hemiplegia Lower Limb Rehabilitation. Presented at 2018 2nd International Conference on BioSignal Analysis, Processing and Systems (ICBAPS), Kuching, Malaysia

Hemiplegia is paralysis which occurs on one half of the body. Rehabilitation for hemiplegic patients, in order to prevent muscle degeneration from prolonged under-usage, can be boring as it requires the same movements to be performed repeatedly. This...
