Multidisciplinary Structural Design Optimization of High-Aspect-Ratio Aircraft Wing Equipped with Electric Distributed Propulsion System
The main idea behind the distributed propulsion aircraft is that it can be used to produce an aerodynamic efficiency advantage, reducing the need for cruise thrust, therefore reducing fuel burn independently. Read more
Aerodynamic and Aero-acoustic Performance Optimisation for the eVTOL Wing in Air-taxi concept.
There have recently been many concepts for electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft in urban air mobility scenario for both short and mid-range applications. Read more
Steady-State Aerodynamic Characteristics of Morphing Wing With Both Variable Trailing And Leading Edges In Lift High Applications
There have been strong interests in applying innovative morphing wings to the next generation passenger-carrying jets, eco-friendly electric aircraft and drones to improve aerodynamic efficiency, aligning with the sustainability development in future aviation. Read more
Feasibility Study on Use of Ballonets For Reduced Aviation Fuel Consumption
This study uses the concept of fish swim bladders, ballonets and buoyancy control in submarines, to explore how helium, hydrogen, or a combination of both, can be used to provide lift to get planes to their typical cruising altitude. Read more
Aerothermal Optimisation Study of a High-Pressure Turbine Blade Tip exposed to In-Service Thermal Damages
The aero-propulsion sector is continually seeking to reduce fuel consumption, costs and environmental pollution. Gas turbine engines form a significant part of this sector and their development is a key approach to meet fuel reduction targets. Read more
Trusted AI for Diabetes personalised self-management systems
Diabetes mellitus is a common cause of morbidity and mortality across the globe. Type 2 diabetes continues to rise in prevalence annually; from 1980 to 2004, Type 2 quadrupled in both prevalence and incidence [1]. Read more
The use of exposure models to determine pharmaceutical usage data from measured environmental concentrations
In recent years occurrence of antibiotics in aquatic systems has attracted significant attention, particularly in rivers which receive sewage treatment effluent where they have been found to bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms, albeit in trace amounts. Read more
The Spatial Inequality of COVID: Understanding Changes in the Spatial-Temporal Clusters of COVID Cases and Associated Deaths in UK against Underlying Risks and Vaccination
The importance of space and time have been evident in news briefings, media coverage, statistical reporting and public commentary throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Read more
The effect of cross-sectional shape on ground movements arising from deep shaft excavation
Background. In many cities, the existing buried transport infrastructure can be of significant age. At the time of its construction, accessibility, particularly for those considered as Mobility Impaired Persons (MIPs), was not considered. Read more
The effect of cocaine and benzoylecgonine (BZE) on morphological microstructural changes of cardiac tissues: Implications for cardiac fibrosis
Cocaine is the second most widely used illicit drug in the UK and the number of deaths involving cocaine was at an all-time high in 2015. Read more
The anti-cancer activity of Croton fishlockii used as a medicinal plant in traditional herbal medicines.
Within the sphere of cancer chemotherapy, many commercialised drugs have been obtained by the synthesis of new compounds, from natural sources or by structural modification of natural products. Read more
Synthesis of New Anti-Cancer Agents and Pharmacogenomics of BRCA-mutated Cancers in the Qatar Population
The group has published on the discovery of heterocyclic quinone anti-cancer agents with specificity towards hypoxic cells associated with solid tumours… Read more
Shell-doped quantum dots as smart “on-off” catalysts for thermally sensitive organic transformations
Quantum dots (QDs) are photoluminescent nanoparticles which reside at the cutting edge of opto-electronic device development. Read more
Security and Privacy of Energy-Constraint Internet of Things Communication using Distributed AI
In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has progressed dramatically due to advancements in technology. It plays an important role in the development of abundant applications and economic ventures. Read more
Secure AI-enhanced Policy Framework for Digital Health Data
This proposal is part of the Data-mdapps project which is a collaboration between Kingston University and the WHO European Office for the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases (NCD Office) and focuses on addressing the challenges of developing a technical and security policy framework for digital health behavioural data processing.
