Optimal Vehicle-to-Grid Control for Supplementary Frequency Regulation Using Deep Reinforcement Learning
(2023-01-15)The expanding Electric Vehicle (EV) market presents a new opportunity for electric vehicles to deliver a wide range of valuable grid services. Indeed, the emerging Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology with bi-directional flow ... -
OPTIMAL: A realistic evaluation of what supports effective health care for care home residents
(2013-07-09)This poster presents early findings from phase one of OPTIMAL, a 3 year study that asked: 1.What is the range of health service delivery models that provide health care to care home residents? 2.What features of these ... -
Optimisation and Characterisation of a Curved Bimetallic Blade and its Performance Within a Thermal Motor
(University of Hertfordshire, 2014-07-04)In most flat bimetallic strip applications, the bending is employed in the transverse direction, that is, upon the application of uniform heating to the entire strip, the initially straight strip bends transversely up from ... -
Optimisation of a dosing regime for a topical skin protectant (barrier cream)
(2015)Context: Topical skin protectants (barrier creams) have the potential to reduce or enhance the severity of dermal lesions following exposure to allergens or irritants. Therefore, it is essential that such products are ... -
Optimisation of antihypertensive treatment by crossover rotation of four major classes
(1999)Most comparisons of antihypertensive drugs aee undertaken in parallel groups. We undertook a crossover rotation of the four main classes of antihypertensive drugs, in untreated young hypertensive patients, to assess the ... -
Optimisation of IMPAXX EPS Foam Energy Absorber with Applications for Amphibian Aircraft Landing on Water
(2019-05-29)The research aims to optimise the design of IMPAXX EPS foam energy absorber for enhanced landing performance of an amphibian aircraft. Extensive transient dynamic simulations have been carried out to investigate the effect ... -
Optimisation of Piston Bowl Geometry and Double Injection Strategy in Diesel Engines Using a Bespoke Hybrid Regression-Based Technique
(2022-07-11)This research work is driven by the requirement for more efficient and cleaner internal combustion engines that meet fuel saving demands, stringent emissions regulations, and compatibility with hybrid powertrain technology. ... -
Optimisation of Transmission Bandwidth for Cellular Indoor Optical Wireless Communications System Using a Dynamic Handover Decision-Making Algorithm
(2012-07)In this paper, we propose a novel cellular optical wireless communications (COWC) system with four diffused cells. A dynamic handover scheme is proposed to make the link more flexible by the way of adaptive channel allocation ... -
Optimised Adaptation of Mixed-criticality Systems with Periodic Tasks on Uniform Multiprocessors in Case of Faults
(2015-04)The standard real-time computing model is based on a notion of deadline that represents both, a design parameter and a critical latency. The tolerance-based real-time com- puting model (TRTCM) extends the standard real-time ... -
Optimised Residential Loads Scheduling Based on Dynamic Pricing of Electricity : A Simulation Study
(2013)This paper presents a simulation study which addresses Demand Side Management (DSM) via scheduling and optimization of a set of residential smart appliances under day-ahead variable pricing with the aim of minimizing the ... -
Optimising a hierarchical neural clusterer applied to large gene sequence data sets
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2004)Evolutionary Algorithms have been used to optimise the performance of neural network models before. This paper uses a hybrid approach by permanently attaching a Genetic Algorithm (GA) to a hierarchical clusterer to investigate ... -
Optimising a neural tree classifier using a genetic algorithm
(2000)This paper documents experiments performed using a GA to optimise the parameters of a dynamic neural tree model. Two fitness functions were created from two selected clustering measures, and a population of genotypes, ... -
Optimising a Neural Tree Using Subtree Retraining
(2004)Subtree retraining applied to a Stochastic Competitive Evolutionary Neural Tree model (SCENT) is introduced. This subtree retraining process is designed to improve the performance of the original model which provides a ... -
Optimising Cooperative Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio Networks Using Interference Alignment and Space-Time Coding
(2018-03-04)In this thesis, the process of optimizing Cooperative Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio has been investigated in fast-fading environments where simulation results have shown that its performance is limited by the Probability ... -
Optimising fungicide timing for controlling light leaf spot (Pyrenopeziza brassicae) on winter oilseed rape in the UK
(Association of Applied Biologists, 1999) -
Optimising oceanic rainfall estimates for increased lead time of stream level forecasting: A case study of GPM IMERG estimates application in the UK
(2024-04-19)Among the three main rainfall data sources (rain gauge stations, rainfall radar stations and weather satellites), satellites are often the most appropriate for longer lead times in real-time flood forecasting [1]. This is ...
