This thesis presents a novel methodology for resource optimisation of 3D Network-on-Chip (NoC) architectures in High-Performance System-on-Chip (SoC) applications. The proposed approach combines hypergraph-based modelling and genetic algorithm optimisation to efficiently explore the design space and...

Traffic levels have increased such that congestion is a major occurrence in many urban areas, creating uncertainty around journey times as well as more incidents with significant damage and accidents, placing lives at major risk. The research focuses on the development of&#...

The impact of therapeutic interventions on red blood cell (RBC) deformability and microscale transport is investigated, using statins as an exemplar. Human RBCs were treated in vitro with two commonly prescribed statins, atorvastatin and rosuvastatin, at clinically relevant concentrations. Changes...

Consumer electronics such as advanced GPS, vehicular sensors, inertial measurement units (IMUs), and wireless modules integrate vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) within internet of thing (IoT), enabling connected autonomous electric vehicles (CAEVs) to optimize energy optimization through&...

Introduction: Technological development is advancing at a groundbreaking rate, helping us understand the developing brain. But, are the new cutting-edge tecnologies suitable for all populations? *** In collaboration with families, researchers, and Gowerlabs, our partner company, we are&#...

This study aims to assess the replicability of of diffuse optical tomography (DOT) implemented in a VR set-up in neurodevelopmental populations, with particular attention to neurodiverse children.

Silicon carbide (SiC) has been widely added into light metals, e.g., Al, to enhance their mechanical performance and corrosion resistance. SiC particle-reinforced metal matrix composites (SiC-MMCs) exhibit low weight/volume ratios, high strength/hardness, high corrosion resistance, and thermal stabili...

This paper proposes a long-memory model that includes multiple cycles in addition to the long-run component. Specifically, instead of a single pole or singularity in the spectrum, it allows for multiple poles and, thus, different cycles with different degrees of persistence. It also...
