Decarbonising heating and fuel poverty in the UK: causes, policy implications, and the next steps. (2024)
Presentation / Conference
SINGH, A. and STRACHAN, P. 2024. Decarbonising heating and fuel poverty in the UK: causes, policy implications, and the next steps. Presented at the 2024 All-energy exhibition and conference, 15-16 May 2024, Glasgow, UK.

Fuel poverty occurs when a household cannot afford to adequately heat their home or meet basic energy requirements. National Energy Action’s figures for April 2024, show 6 million UK households are in fuel poverty. Fuel poverty problem needs to be...

Embedding academic study skills within a module to support student achievement and sustained engagement with assessment. (2024)
Presentation / Conference
BURGESS, K. 2024. Embedding academic study skills within a module to support student achievement and sustained engagement with assessment. Presented at the 2024 Assessment in higher education conference (AHE 2024), 19-20 June 2024, Manchester, UK.

As the diversity and number of the student population entering higher education are increasing worldwide, it is observed that the number of students who possess inadequate study skills is also rising (Groves, Bowd and Smith 2010). Support with study... Read More about Embedding academic study skills within a module to support student achievement and sustained engagement with assessment..

Measurement and Simulation of the Propagation of Impulsive Acoustic Emission Sources in Pipes (2024)
Journal Article
ABOLLE-OKOYEAGU, C.J., FATUKASI, S. and REUBEN, B. 2024. Measurement and simulation of the propagation of impulsive acoustic emission sources in pipes. Acoustics [online], 6(3), pages 620-637. To be made available from: https://doi.org/10.3390/acoustics6030034

Acoustic Emission (AE) testing is a non-destructive evaluation technique that has gained significant attention in pipeline monitoring. Pencil-lead breaks (PLBs) are commonly used in reproducing and characterising sensors used in AE applications and h...

SSA-LHCD: a singular spectrum analysis-driven lightweight network with 2-D self-attention for hyperspectral change detection. (2024)
Journal Article
LI, Y., REN, J., YAN, Y., SUN, G. and MA, P. 2024. SSA-LHCD: a singular spectrum analysis-driven lightweight network with 2-D self-attention for hyperspectral change detection. Remote sensing [online], 16(3), article number 2353. Available from: https://doi.org/10.3390/rs16132353

As an emerging research hotspot in contemporary remote sensing, hyperspectral change detection (HCD) has attracted increasing attention in remote sensing Earth observation, covering land mapping changes and anomaly detection. This is primarily attrib... Read More about SSA-LHCD: a singular spectrum analysis-driven lightweight network with 2-D self-attention for hyperspectral change detection..

On the multi-objective optimization of wind farm cable layouts with regard to cost and robustness. (2024)
Conference Proceeding
CHRISTIE, L.A., SAHIN, A., OGUNSEMI, A., ZĂVOIANU, A.-C. and MCCALL, J.A.W. 2024. On the multi-objective optimization of wind farm cable layouts with regard to cost and robustness. To be published in: Parallel problem solving from nature (PPSN XVIII): proceedings of the 18th Parallel problem solving from nature international conference 2024 (PPSN 2024), 14-18 September 2024, Hagenberg, Austria. Lecture notes in computer science. Cham: Springer [online], (accepted).

Offshore wind farms (OWFs) have emerged as a vital component in the transition to renewable energy, especially for countries like the United Kingdom with abundant shallow coastal waters suitable for wind energy exploitation. As net-zero emissions tar... Read More about On the multi-objective optimization of wind farm cable layouts with regard to cost and robustness..
