Study on the evaporation and desiccation patterns of bio-drops for the development of a disease diagnostic tool
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-05-02)Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial issues in medicine. Disease leads to alterations in the properties of biological fluids, which in turn, lead to changes in the final desiccation patterns arising from droplet ... -
Study of passive and active driven motion of droplets on engineered substrates
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022)Droplet motion is an everyday phenomenon with potential benefits to multiple industrial and biological applications. It can be achieved via various methods, and the understanding and altering of the underlying mechanism ... -
Performance analysis of future wireless networks using Mat′ern hard-core point processes
(The University of Edinburgh, 2018-11-29)[No Deposit Agreement] -
Interference mitigation in LiFi networks
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-04-22)Due to the increasing demand for wireless data, the radio frequency (RF) spectrum has become a very limited resource. Alternative approaches are under investigation to support the future growth in data traffic and ... -
Reliability analysis of wave energy converters
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-04-13)The energy demand worldwide is increasing, and such demand should be satisfied with renewable resources to diminish the carbon footprint. There are a few ways to produce clean energy such as wind, solar and marine ... -
Modelling of monoliths for adsorption processes
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-04-11)Straight-channel monoliths are a promising means to achieve process intensification of adsorption processes compared to conventional packed beds. Their main benefits are handling of high throughputs and good thermal ... -
In situ underwater microwave oil spill and oil slick thickness sensor
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-04-11)Nearly 30 percent of oil drilled globally is done offshore. Oil spillage offshore have far-reaching consequences on the environment, aquatic lives, and livelihoods as it was evident in the numerous accidents such as the ... -
Combating atmospheric channel impairments in single- and multi-mode free-space optical communication
(The University of Edinburgh, 2018-11-29)[No Deposit Agreement] -
Coherent LiFi systems
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-03-25)Wireless data transmission has a wide range of applications in modern society and the currently used radio frequency (RF) spectrum is saturating due to the rapidly growing demand for data traffic. The optical spectrum, ... -
Channel estimation and beam training with machine learning applications for millimetre-wave communication systems
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-03-22)The fifth generation (5G) wireless system will extend the capabilities of the fourth generation (4G) standards to serve more users and provide timely communication. To this end, the carriers of 5G systems will be able ... -
Competence management in the UK heritage railway industry
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-03-21)The research underpinning this work takes place in the context of the United Kingdom heritage railway industry with the focus of the study being how competence can be managed effectively in a predominately volunteer ... -
Response of saline reservoir to different phaseCO₂-brine: experimental tests and image-based modelling
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-03-17)Geological CO₂ storage in saline rocks is a promising method for meeting the target of net zero emission and minimizing the anthropogenic CO₂ emitted into the earth’s atmosphere. Storage of CO₂ in saline rocks triggers ... -
Techno-economic analysis for local hydrogen production for energy storage and services
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-03-17)The energy industry is quickly changing, with more renewable energy technologies emerging and sustainable sources growing in their capacities, which is slowly reducing the need for fossil fuel sourced energy supply. But ... -
Underwater optical wireless communications in turbulent conditions: from simulation to experimentation
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-03-16)Underwater optical wireless communication (UOWC) is a technology that aims to apply high speed optical wireless communication (OWC) techniques to the underwater channel. UOWC has the potential to provide high speed links ... -
Experimental studies on the resistance to single and multiphase flow in a capillary tube
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-03-16)The resistance to the flow in pore space is of great significance because it controls how the fluids transmit the porous media over time. The fundamental of enhanced oil recovery, for example, is the displacement of two ... -
Enhancement of impact damage resistance and tolerance in CFRP laminates using a single embedded polyurethane film
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-03-14)The aim of this study is to develop composite structures of high impact resistance abilities. The PhD study involves the design, the manufacturing and the testing of unidirectional carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) ... -
From real-time optimization techniques to an autopilot for steady-state processes
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-03-14)Most industrial systems have objectives to meet (e.g. economic performance, production quality), are subject to disturbances (e.g. market fluctuations, aging, variations in the processed raw material), and almost never ... -
Acoustic cavitation at audible frequencies
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-03-11)The dynamics of bubble collapse are of great interest in a variety of fields across science and engineering. Amongst these, sonochemistry has shown to be a particularly promising technology in a number of applications, ... -
Physical phenomena controlling quiescent flame spread in porous wildland fuel beds
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-03-11)Despite well-developed solid surface flame spread theories, we still lack a coherent theory to describe flame spread through porous wildland fuel beds. This porosity results in additional complexity, reducing the thermal ... -
