Enhancement of Albedo for Solar Energy Gain with Particular Emphasis on Overcast Skies (2018)
Journal Article
Gul, M., Kotak, Y., Muneer, T., & Ivanova, S. (2018). Enhancement of Albedo for Solar Energy Gain with Particular Emphasis on Overcast Skies. Energies, 11(11), 2881. https://doi.org/10.3390/en11112881

In the absence of ground reflected radiation measured data, an average albedo value of 0.2, which describes the reflective properties of the bare ground is generally used. The variation of albedo based on different foreground surfaces and under diffe... Read More about Enhancement of Albedo for Solar Energy Gain with Particular Emphasis on Overcast Skies.

Legal and regulatory development of nuclear energy in Bangladesh (2018)
Journal Article
Karim, R., Muhammad-Sukki, F., Karim, M. E., Munir, A. B., Sifat, I. M., Abu-Bakar, S. H., …Muhtazaruddin, M. N. (2018). Legal and regulatory development of nuclear energy in Bangladesh. Energies, 11(10), Article 2847. https://doi.org/10.3390/en11102847

The adequacy of legal and regulatory framework relating to nuclear energy in Bangladesh has sparked many questions since the government took the formal decision to establish a nuclear power plant (NPP) at Rooppur. Consequently, the government has tak... Read More about Legal and regulatory development of nuclear energy in Bangladesh.

Parked electric car's cabin heat management using photovoltaic powered ventilation system (2018)
Journal Article
Kolhe, M., Adhikari, S., & Muneer, T. (2019). Parked electric car's cabin heat management using photovoltaic powered ventilation system. Applied Energy, 233-234, 403-411. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2018.10.012

This paper explores the use of electric car roof mounted photovoltaic (PV) powered ventilation for cabin heat management/ventilation. A fully-functional Renault Zoe electric car has been used for performance evaluation of parked electric car ventila...

Interaction Between Closely Packed Array Antenna Elements Using Meta‐Surface for Applications Such as MIMO Systems and Synthetic Aperture Radars (2018)
Journal Article
Alibakhshikenari, M., Virdee, B. S., Shukla, P., See, C. H., Abd‐Alhameed, R., Khalily, M., …Limiti, E. (2018). Interaction Between Closely Packed Array Antenna Elements Using Meta‐Surface for Applications Such as MIMO Systems and Synthetic Aperture

The paper presents a technique to enhance the isolation between adjacent radiating elements that is common in densely packed antenna arrays. Such antennas provide frequency beam‐scanning capability needed in multiple‐input multiple‐output (MIMO) syst...

When Universal Access is not quite universal enough: Case studies and lessons to be learned (2018)
Journal Article
Keates, S. (2020). When Universal Access is not quite universal enough: Case studies and lessons to be learned. Universal Access in the Information Society, 19, 133-144. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10209-018-0636-2

While the theory of designing for Universal Access is increasingly understood, there remain persistent issues over realising products and systems that meet the goal of being accessible and usable by the broadest possible set of users. Clearly product... Read More about When Universal Access is not quite universal enough: Case studies and lessons to be learned.

How to Overcome the Dichotomous Nature of Smart City Research: Proposed Methodology and Results of a Pilot Study (2018)
Journal Article

Random projection neural network approximation (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Andras, P. (2018). Random projection neural network approximation. In 2018 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN) (1-8). https://doi.org/10.1109/IJCNN.2018.8489215

Neural networks are often used to approximate functions defined over high-dimensional data spaces (e.g. text data, genomic data, multi-sensor data). Such approximation tasks are usually difficult due to the curse of dimensionality and improved method... Read More about Random projection neural network approximation.

Study on isolation improvement between closely‐packed patch antenna arrays based on fractal metamaterial electromagnetic bandgap structures (2018)
Journal Article
Alibakhshikenari, M., Virdee, B. S., See, C. H., Abd‐Alhameed, R., Hussein Ali, A., Falcone, F., & Limiti, E. (2018). Study on isolation improvement between closely‐packed patch antenna arrays based on fractal metamaterial electromagnetic bandgap stru

A decoupling metamaterial (MTM) configuration based on fractal electromagnetic‐bandgap (EMBG) structure is shown to significantly enhance isolation between transmitting and receiving antenna elements in a closely‐packed patch antenna array. The MTM‐E... Read More about Study on isolation improvement between closely‐packed patch antenna arrays based on fractal metamaterial electromagnetic bandgap structures.
