Predictive Simulation of Musculoskeletal Models Using Direct Collocation
Applications of biomechanical predictive simulation are wide ranging, with the technique used to provide insights into movement disorders, sports performance, and injury prevention. However, current software provision has ... -
Improving the Security of Continuous Variable Quantum Random Number Generators
Random numbers are vital for a wide variety of applications including lotteries, statistical sampling, computer simulations and cryptography. They can also be used to make random decisions required in both quantum key ... -
Automated Image-Based Inspection of Masonry Arch Bridges
Masonry arch bridges have proven to be durable and underpin much of the world’s transport infrastructure. However, they are an aging asset, and their effective management is challenging. Existing management focuses heavily ... -
A Unified Theory Characterising the Spontaneous Condensation Tendency of Working Fluids in Organic Rankine Cycle Expansion: Key Difference from Steam and its Implications
The present work formulates a unified theory characterising the spontaneous condensation tendency of various working fluids during a typical Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) expansion from slightly superheated condition or ...
