Mutation rate plasticity in rifampicin resistance depends on Escherichia coli cell-cell interactions (2014)
Journal Article
Channon, A. (2014). Mutation rate plasticity in rifampicin resistance depends on Escherichia coli cell-cell interactions. Nature communications, 3742 -?. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms4742

Variation of mutation rate at a particular site in a particular genotype, in other words mutation rate plasticity (MRP), can be caused by stress or ageing. However, mutation rate control by other factors is less well characterized. Here we show that...

Stability of pear-shaped configurations bifurcated from a pressurized spherical balloon (2014)
Journal Article
Fu, Y., & Xie, Y. (2014). Stability of pear-shaped configurations bifurcated from a pressurized spherical balloon. Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids, 33 - 44. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmps.2014.03.007

It is well-known that for most spherical rubber balloons the pressure versus volume curve associated with uniform inflation is N-shaped (the pressure increases rapidly to a maximum, falls to a minimum, and subsequently increases monotonically), and t...

Stability of an inflated hyperelastic membrane tube with localized wall thinning (2014)
Journal Article
Il'ichev, A., & Fu, Y. (2014). Stability of an inflated hyperelastic membrane tube with localized wall thinning. International Journal of Engineering Science, 53 - 61. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijengsci.2014.02.031

It is now well-known that when an infinitely long hyperelastic membrane tube free from any imperfections is inflated, a transcritical-type bifurcation may take place that corresponds to the sudden formation of a localized bulge. When the membrane tub... Read More about Stability of an inflated hyperelastic membrane tube with localized wall thinning.

Label free cell tracking in 3-D tissue engineering constructs with high resolution imaging (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Smith, W., Lam, K.-P., Dempsey, K., Mazzocchi-Jones, D., Richardson, J., & Yang, Y. Label free cell tracking in 3-D tissue engineering constructs with high resolution imaging. Presented at Dynamics and Fluctuations in Biomedical Photonics XI

Within the field of tissue engineering there is an emphasis on studying 3-D live tissue structures. Consequently, to investigate and identify cellular activities and phenotypes in a 3-D environment for all in vitro experiments, including shape, migra...

An overview of several standardization activities for machine-to-machine (M2M) communications is presented, analyzing some of the enabling technologies and applications of M2M in industry sectors such as Smart Grid and e-Health. This summary and over... Read More about M2M Communications for E-Health and Smart Grid: An Industry and Standard Perspective.

A residential PHEV load coordination mechanism with renewable sources in smart grids (2014)
Journal Article
Fan. (2014). A residential PHEV load coordination mechanism with renewable sources in smart grids. International Journal of Electrical Power and Energy Systems, 511 -521. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijepes.2013.10.002

A high penetration of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) can lead to stress and overload in distribution systems when uncoordinated charging is considered. Thus, coordination mechanisms to manage PHEV charging during peak periods are needed. Th... Read More about A residential PHEV load coordination mechanism with renewable sources in smart grids.
