Design and Optimization of a Planar Cable Robot
(2020-07)
This thesis presents a new approach towards the design of Cable-Driven-Parallel Robots (CDPR). Typically, the design of such robots is not the main concern, whereas in this work, an optimization of the design is carried ...
Sliding Resistance of Serrated-Base Quay Walls
(2021-11)
Waterfront retaining structures, such as quay walls, play important roles in the safety and operation of ports and harbours. Designing waterfront structures under critical loads and conditions is one of the important topics ...
Optimal Operation of Virtual Charging Systems for Plug-In Electric Vehicles
(IEEE, 2022-01)
This paper proposes a novel concept, denoted as Virtual Charging System (VCS), for electric vehicles’ (EVs). In a conventional charging system (CCS) with a competitive environment, the competition between charging stations ...
Towards a Performative Understanding of Deservingness: Merit, Gender and the BBC Pay Dispute
(Wiley Online Library, 2020)
Drawing largely on a high-profile case of unequal pay at the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) as an illustrative example, this conceptual paper considers differences and interrelationships between merit and deservingness, ...
A projection scheme for phase change problems with convection
(Elseiver, 2022-01)
Numerical modeling of phase change problems with convection is known to be computationally expensive. The main challenge comes from the coupling between Navier–Stokes and heat energy equations. In this paper, we develop a ...
Efficiency of semi-implicit alternating direction implicit methods for solving cardiac monodomain model
(Elsevier, 2021-01)
It is well known that numerical simulations of the cardiac monodomain model require fine mesh resolution, which increases the computational resources required. In this paper, we construct three operator-splitting alternating ...
Efficiency of parallel anisotropic mesh adaptation for the solution of the bidomain model in cardiac tissue
(Elsevier, 2022-04)
Electrocardiology models are nonlinear reaction–diffusion type systems, where the numerical simulation requires extremely fine meshes to accurately compute the heart’s electrical activity. Anisotropic mesh adaptation methods ...
A Simulation Study of the Role of Mechanical Stretch in Arrhythmogenesis during Cardiac Alternans
(Biophysical Society, 2021-01)
The deformation of the heart tissue due to the contraction can modulate the excitation, a phenomenon referred to as mechanoelectrical feedback (MEF), via stretch-activated channels. The effects of MEF on the electrophysiology ...
Ultrasound-responsive Nanocarriers in Cancer Treatment: a review
(American Chemical Society, 2021)
The safe and effective delivery of anticancer agents to diseased tissues is one of the significant challenges in cancer therapy. Conventional anticancer agents are generally cytotoxins with poor pharmacokinetics and ...
