Journal Article
Barroso, G., Seoane, M., Gil, A., Ledger, P., Mallett, M., & Huerta, A. (2020). A staggered high-dimensional Proper Generalised Decomposition for coupled magneto-mechanical problems with application to MRI scanners. Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 370, 113271. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cma.2020.113271

Manufacturing new Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanners represents a computational challenge to industry, due to the large variability in material parameters and geometrical configurations that need to be tested during the early design phase. Thi... Read More about A staggered high-dimensional Proper Generalised Decomposition for coupled magneto-mechanical problems with application to MRI scanners.

The Effect of Pain Conditioning on Experimentally Evoked Cough: Evidence of Impaired Endogenous Inhibitory Control Mechanisms in Refractory Chronic Cough (2020)
Journal Article
Hilton, E., Satia, I., Holt, K., Woodcock, A. A., Belcher, J., & Smith, J. A. (2020). The Effect of Pain Conditioning on Experimentally Evoked Cough: Evidence of Impaired Endogenous Inhibitory Control Mechanisms in Refractory Chronic Cough. European Respiratory Journal, 56(6), 2001387 - 2001387. https://doi.org/10.1183/13993003.01387-2020

Background: The pathophysiology of refractory chronic cough (RCC) is unclear. We hypothesised that endogenous inhibitory control mechanisms, such as those activated by painful stimuli (conditioned pain modulation (CPM)), may be capable of inhibiting...

A mechanism to promote social behaviour in household load balancing (2020)
Journal Article
(2020). A mechanism to promote social behaviour in household load balancing. Artificial Life, https://doi.org/10.1162/isal_a_00290

Reducing the peak energy consumption of households is essential for the effective use of renewable energy sources, in order to ensure that as much household demand as possible can be met by renewable sources. This entails spreading out the use of hig... Read More about A mechanism to promote social behaviour in household load balancing.

When Specialists Transition to Generalists: Evolutionary Pressure in Lexicase Selection (2020)
Journal Article
(2020). When Specialists Transition to Generalists: Evolutionary Pressure in Lexicase Selection. Artificial Life, 719-726. https://doi.org/10.1162/isal_a_00254

Generalized behavior is a long standing goal for evolutionary robotics. Behaviors for a given task should be robust to perturbation and capable of operating across a variety of environments. We have previously shown that Lexicase selection evolves hi... Read More about When Specialists Transition to Generalists: Evolutionary Pressure in Lexicase Selection.

Coloured noise time series as appropriate models for environmental variation in artificial evolutionary systems (2020)
Journal Article
(2020). Coloured noise time series as appropriate models for environmental variation in artificial evolutionary systems. Artificial Life, https://doi.org/10.1162/isal_a_00284

Ecological, environmental and geophysical time series consistently exhibit the characteristics of coloured (1/f^ß ) noise. Here we briefly survey the literature on coloured noise, population persistence and related evolutionary dynamics, before intro...

Characterization and dynamical stability of fully nonlinear strain solitary waves in a fluid-filled hyperelastic membrane tube (2020)
Journal Article
Fu. (2020). Characterization and dynamical stability of fully nonlinear strain solitary waves in a fluid-filled hyperelastic membrane tube. Acta mechanica, https://doi.org/10.1007/s00707-020-02754-z

We first characterize strain solitary waves propagating in a fluid-filled membrane tube when the fluid is stationary prior to wave propagation and the tube is also subjected to a finite stretch. We consider the parameter regime where all traveling wa...
