Identification of TV Channel Watching from Smart Meter Data Using Energy Disaggregation
(2021-04-27)Smart meters are used to measure the energy consumption of households. Specifically, within the energy consumption task, a smart meter must be used for load forecasting, the reduction in consumer bills as well as the ... -
Towards Optimal Energy Efficiency in Cell-Free Massive MIMO Systems
(2021-02-12)Motivated by the ever-growing demand for green wireless communications and the advantages of cell-free (CF) massive multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO) systems, we focus on the design of their downlink (DL) for optimal ... -
A Step-Down ZVS Power Converter with Self-Driven Synchronous Rectifier
(IEEE, 2021-04-27)In this paper a step-down ZVS power converter with a self-driven synchronous rectifier (SDSR) for a low-voltage high-current applications is proposed. A transformer leakage inductance, a resonant capacitor and a diode make ... -
Coverage Probability of Cell-Free Massive MIMO Systems
(IEEE, 2020-12-04)Despite that ongoing and future networks become denser and increasingly irregular, prior works in the area of cell-free (CF) massive multiple-input-multiple-output (mMIMO) systems relied on the strong assumption of uniformly ... -
Morphology and evolution of supraglacial hummocks on debris-covered Himalayan glaciers
(2021-03-15)Thick supraglacial debris layers often have an undulating, hummocky topography that influences the lateral transport of debris and meltwater and provides basins for supraglacial ponds. The role of ablation and other processes ... -
Geospatial simulations of airborne ice-penetrating radar surveying reveal elevation under-measurement bias for ice-sheet bed topography
(2021-04-01)Airborne radio-echo sounding (RES) surveys are widely used to measure ice-sheet bed topography. Measuring bed topography as accurately and widely as possible is of critical importance to modelling ice dynamics and hence ... -
Live well, die well: the development of an online, arts-based palliative care programme in the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic
(2021-04-11)The Covid-19 crisis led to an increase in the ‘total pain’ of many terminally ill patients who faced a reduction in support, due to the temporary closure of front-line palliative day therapy services. A hospice volunteer, ... -
Family understanding and communication about an adult relative’s mental health problem: A systematic narrative review
(2020-12-01)What is known on the subject?: Adults who support an adult family member with a severe and enduring mental health problem often experience carer burden. Over time, this often negatively affects their mental and physical ... -
A Novel Resonant ZVS Power Converter with Self-Driven Synchronous Rectifier for Low-Voltage High-Current Applications
(2021-05-02)This paper presents a novel isolated resonant zero-voltage switching (ZVS) converter with a self-driven synchronous rectifier (SDSR) for low-voltage high-current applications. The active resonant tank comprises of a ... -
Determining the Climate Change Mitigation Potential of Countryside Stewardship
(2019-01-09)Short communication explaining the approach adopted to a research project aimed at understanding the climate change mitigation benefits of England's Countryside Stewardship Scheme -
SmartHIV Manager: a web-based computer simulation system for better management of HIV services
(2021-04-20)Background: Life-changing developments enabled people living with HIV/AIDS (human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) to live a relatively normal life like the general population. However, there is ... -

Tribological analysis of engineering plastics/steel friction pairs
(2021-04-17)This study involves the case of polymer–metal contact, where deformation and strain behavior play a significant role. In present work, a section of polymer gear is mated against steel gear, and the friction behaviors for ... -
Addressing Behavioural Safety Concerns on Qatari Mega Projects
(2021-09-01)This study explores the behavioural safety measures for addressing accidents on Qatar mega projects which are infamous for their high rates of accidents and fatality. Using extant literature and brainstorming as sources ... -
Healthcare Systems and Covid-19: Lessons to be Learnt from Efficient Countries
(2021-05-02)Background: The novel coronavirus is rapidly spreading over the world and puts the health systems of countries under intense pressure. High hospitalization levels due to the pandemic outbreak have caused the intensive care ... -
Problem based learning in radiography education: A narrative review
(2021-05-01)Objectives Radiography practice is fast developing with new imaging updates and challenging scenarios to deal with on a frequent basis. There is a need to equip students with the skill to be independent learners and develop ... -
