    Highly flexible, durable, UV resistant, and electrically conductive graphene based TPU/textile composite sensor

    , Polymers for Advanced Technologies, Vol: 33, Pages: 4250-4264, ISSN: 1042-7147

    Flexible strain sensors have attracted considerable attention due to their applications in wearable monitoring fields such as human-computer interaction systems, athletic training, and health systems. Textiles are a desired substrate for fabricating wearable flexible sensors due to their light weight, comfort, and flexibility. However, the compatibility between textiles and conductive materials still faces critical challenges, especially for wearable sensors to achieve high sensitivity and a wide sensing range simultaneously with long-term monitoring stability, reliability, and wearing comfort. In this study, we propose a graphene-based TPU/textile composite sensor that can be produced using small-scale manufacturing techniques, using laser cutting combined with film coating and thermal transfer processes and further explore its mechanical, electrical, and sensing properties. Since the human body exhibits different magnitudes of motion and fabric sensors integrated into clothing would face multiple challenges in real world usage e.g. repetitive wear, sweat and sunlight exposure, we performed sensitivity, reliability and durability tests to further evaluate real world usage of the fabric sensors. The developed composite sensor exhibits a high sensitivity (GF = 498), wide sensing range (0%–293%), excellent reliability and stability which only shows 5% deviation after 10,000 cycles of stretching under 5% strain. In addition, the graphene-based textile composite sensor thermalised by TPU film can also maintain high stability after long-term UV irradiation and multiple washing cycles. When integrated into various wearable devices, our composite sensor can detect a wide range of human body motions accurately, as well as subtle physiological signals, exhibiting great potential in incorporating into wearable monitoring devices.

    The limits of 'serious' play

    , Representing Conflicts in Games, Editors: Sjöblom, Linderoth, Frank, Publisher: Routledge, Pages: 58-72

    Games for change that represent ‘serious’ topics like historical violence have often become subject to public controversies. Why is that? This chapter answers this question by analysing two controversial games, 1378(km) (2010) and Playing History 2: Slave Trade (2013) through the lens of Goffman’s frame analysis. We argue that representing any historical act of violence in a documentary form easily runs into people’s normative frame limits for appropriate representation. While the games’ creators believed in the artistic and educational potential of games, making games an apt medium for representing topics like state violence or slavery, their wider audiences viewed games as inherently carefree, trivial, and thus, trivializing whatever they represent. Similarly, enacting a perpetrator from a first-person perspective (as afforded by the games in question) was seen as inherently endorsing the perpetrator’s actions. This frame dispute over the moral legitimacy of presenting historical violence in game form was exacerbated by the fact that social and mass media circulated representations of the games far beyond intended contexts and audiences. We conclude that games for change design entails ensuring that audiences co-intentionally frame the game in question.

    The Many Faces of Monetisation: Understanding the diversity and extremity of spending in mobile games via massive-scale transactional analysis

    <p>With the rise of microtransactions, particularly in the mobile games industry, there has been ongoing concern that games reliant on these obtain substantial revenue from a small proportion of heavily involved individuals, to an extent that may be financially burdensome to these individuals. Yet despite substantive grey literature and speculation on this topic, there is little robust data available. We explore the revenue distribution in microtransaction-based mobile games using a transactional dataset of USD 4.7bn in in-game spending drawn from 69,144,363 players of 2,873 mobile games over the course of 624 days. We find diverse revenue distribution in mobile games, ranging from a ‘uniform’ cluster, in which all spenders invest approximately similar amounts, to ‘hyper-pareto’ games, in which a large proportion of revenue (~38%) stems from 1% of spenders alone. Specific kinds of games are typified by higher spending: the more a game relies on its top 1% for revenue generation, the more these individuals tend to spend, with simulated gambling products (‘social casinos’) at the top. We find a small subset of games across all genres, clusters, and age ratings in which the top 1% of gamers are highly financially involved– spending an average of USD 66,285 each in the 624 days under evaluation in the most extreme case. We discuss implications for future studies on links between gaming and wellbeing.</p>

    A surrogate model based on a finite element model of abdomen for real-time visualisation of tissue stress during physical examination training

    , Bioengineering, Vol: 9, ISSN: 2306-5354

    Robotic patients show great potential to improve medical palpation training as they can provide feedback that cannot be obtained in a real patient. Providing information about internal organs deformation can significantly enhance palpation training by giving medical trainees visual insight based on their finger behaviours. This can be achieved by using computational models of abdomen mechanics. However, such models are computationally expensive, thus able to provide real-time predictions. In this work, we proposed an innovative surrogate model of abdomen mechanics using machine learning (ML) and finite element (FE) modelling to virtually render internal tissue deformation in real-time. We first developed a new high-fidelity FE model of the abdomen mechanics from computerized tomography (CT) images. We performed palpation simulations to produce a large database of stress distribution on the liver edge, an area of interest in most examinations. We then used artificial neural networks (ANN) to develop the surrogate model and demonstrated its application in an experimental palpation platform. Our FE simulations took 1.5 hrs to predict stress distribution for each palpation while this only took a fraction of a second for the surrogate model. Our results show that the ANN has a 92.6% accuracy. We also show that the surrogate model is able to use the experimental input of palpation location and force to provide real-time projections onto the robotics platform. This enhanced robotics platform has potential to be used as a training simulator for trainees to hone their palpation skills.

    The protective performance of modern motorcycle helmets under oblique impacts

    , Annals of Biomedical Engineering, Vol: 50, Pages: 1674-1688, ISSN: 0090-6964

    Motorcyclists are at high risk of head injuries, including skull fractures, focal brain injuries, intracranial bleeding and diffuse brain injuries. New helmet technologies have been developed to mitigate head injuries in motorcycle collisions, but there is limited information on their performance under commonly occurring oblique impacts. We used an oblique impact method to assess the performance of seven modern motorcycle helmets at five impact locations. Four helmets were fitted with rotational management technologies: a low friction layer (MIPS), three-layer liner system (Flex) and dampers-connected liner system (ODS). Helmets were dropped onto a 45° anvil at 8 m/s at five locations. We determined peak translational and rotational accelerations (PTA and PRA), peak rotational velocity (PRV) and brain injury criteria (BrIC). In addition, we used a human head finite element model to predict strain distribution across the brain and in corpus callosum and sulci. We found that the impact location affected the injury metrics and brain strain, but this effect was not consistent. The rear impact produced lowest PTAs but highest PRAs. This impact produced highest strain in corpus callosum. The front impact produced the highest PRV and BrIC. The side impact produced the lowest PRV, BrIC and strain across the brain, sulci and corpus callosum. Among helmet technologies, MIPS reduced all injury metrics and brain strain compared with conventional helmets. Flex however was effective in reducing PRA only and ODS was not effective in reducing any injury metrics in comparison with conventional helmets. This study shows the importance of using different impact locations and injury metrics when assessing head protection effects of helmets. It also provides new data on the performance of modern motorcycle helmets. These results can help with improving helmet design and standard and rating test methods.

    Multi-stage linear decision rules for stochastic control of natural gas networks with linepack

    , Electric Power Systems Research, Vol: 212, ISSN: 0378-7796

    The disturbances from variable and uncertain renewable generation propagate from power systems to natural gas networks, causing gas network operators to adjust gas supply nominations to ensure operational security. To alleviate expensive supply adjustments, we develop control policies to leverage instead the flexibility of linepack – the gas stored in pipelines – to balance stochastic gas extractions. These policies are based on multi-stage linear decision rules optimized on a finite discrete horizon to guide controllable network components, such as compressors and valves, towards feasible operations. Our approach offers several control applications. First, it treats the linepack as a main source of flexibility to balance disturbances from power systems without substantial impacts on nominal gas supply. Second, these policies can be optimized to minimize the variability (due to intermittency of renewables) and variance (due to their uncertainty) of network state variables, such as pressures. Finally, it enables topology optimization to decouple network parts and prevent uncertainty propagation through the network. This is demonstrated using illustrative numerical experiments.

    Reliability-aware probabilistic reserve procurement

    , Electric Power Systems Research, Vol: 212, ISSN: 0378-7796

    Current reserve procurement approaches ignore the stochastic nature of reserve asset availability itself and thus limit the type and volume of reserve offers. This paper develops a reliability-aware probabilistic approach that allows renewable generators and load ensembles to offer reserve capacity with reliability attributes. Offers with low reliability are priced at lower levels. The original non-convex market clearing problem is approximated by a MILP reformulation. The proposed probabilistic reserve procurement allows restricted reserve providers to enter the market, thereby increases liquidity and has the potential to lower procurement costs in power systems with high shares of variable renewable energy sources.

    Trading data for wind power forecasting: A regression market with lasso regularization

    , Electric Power Systems Research, Vol: 212, ISSN: 0378-7796

    This paper proposes a regression market for wind agents to monetize data traded among themselves for wind power forecasting. Existing literature on data markets often treats data disclosure as a binary choice or modulates the data quality based on the mismatch between the offer and bid prices. As a result, the market disadvantages either the data sellers due to the overestimation of their willingness to disclose data, or the data buyers due to the lack of useful data being provided. Our proposed regression market determines the data payment based on the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (lasso), which not only provides the data buyer with a means for selecting useful features, but also enables each data seller to individualize the threshold for data payment. Using both synthetic data and real-world wind data, the case studies demonstrate a reduction in the overall losses for wind agents who buy data, as well as additional financial benefits to those who sell data.

    Variable heat pricing to steer the flexibility of heat demand response in district heating systems

    , Electric Power Systems Research, Vol: 212, ISSN: 0378-7796

    Flexibility from low-temperature district heating (LTDH) systems favors the integration of renewable energy in power systems. Flexibility from LTDH systems may be revealed and steered through dynamic pricing for heat. For the purpose of optimal heat pricing, the heat market with variable heat pricing is modeled as a Stackelberg game (i.e., with a bi-level structure). The upper-level problem of the heat provider is to maximize net profit by issuing hourly heat prices day-ahead, while the lower-level problem of heat consumers is to minimize costs by adjusting heat demand based on the dynamic price. The proposed model is tested on a groundwater-based LTDH system with one provider and three consumers. It is evaluated based on the operational cost of the heat provider and the average heat unit price for the consumers, compared to flat heat pricing.

    The SONICOM Project: artificial intelligence-driven immersive audio, from personalization to modeling

    , IEEE: Signal Processing Magazine, Vol: 39, Pages: 85-88, ISSN: 1053-5888

    Every individual perceives spatial audio differently, due in large part to the unique and complex shape of ears and head. Therefore, high-quality, headphone-based spatial audio should be uniquely tailored to each listener in an effective and efficient manner. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a powerful tool that can be used to drive forward research in spatial audio personalization. The SONICOM project aims to employ a data-driven approach that links physiological characteristics of the ear to the individual acoustic filters, which allows us to localize sound sources and perceive them as being located around us. A small amount of data acquired from users could allow personalized audio experiences, and AI could facilitate this by offering a new perspective on the matter. A Bayesian approach to computational neuroscience and binaural sound reproduction will be linked to create a metric for AI-based algorithms that will predict realistic spatial audio quality. Being able to consistently and repeatedly evaluate and quantify the improvements brought by technological advancements, as well as the impact these have on complex interactions in virtual environments, will be key for the development of new techniques and for unlocking new approaches to understanding the mechanisms of human spatial hearing and communication.

    MicroLib: A library of 3D microstructures generated from 2D micrographs using SliceGAN

    , Scientific Data, Vol: 9, ISSN: 2052-4463

    3D microstructural datasets are commonly used to define the geometrical domains used in finite element modelling. This has proven a useful tool for understanding how complex material systems behave under applied stresses, temperatures and chemical conditions. However, 3D imaging of materials is challenging for a number of reasons, including limited field of view, low resolution and difficult sample preparation. Recently, a machine learning method, SliceGAN, was developed to statistically generate 3D microstructural datasets of arbitrary size using a single 2D input slice as training data. In this paper, we present the results from applying SliceGAN to 87 different microstructures, ranging from biological materials to high-strength steels. To demonstrate the accuracy of the synthetic volumes created by SliceGAN, we compare three microstructural properties between the 2D training data and 3D generations, which show good agreement. This new microstructure library both provides valuable 3D microstructures that can be used in models, and also demonstrates the broad applicability of the SliceGAN algorithm.

    System-to-user and user-to-system adaptations in Binaural audio

    , Sonic Interactions in Virtual Environments, Editors: Geronazzo, Serafin, Publisher: Springer, Pages: 115-143

    This chapter concerns concepts of adaption in a binaural audio context (i.e. headphone-based three-dimensional audio rendering and associated spatial hearing aspects), considering first the adaptation of the rendering system to the acoustic and perceptual properties of the user, and second the adaptation of the user to the rendering quality of the system. We start with an overview of the basic mechanisms of human sound source localisation, introducing expressions such as localisation cues and interaural differences, and the concept of the Head-Related Transfer Function (HRTF), which is the basis of most 3D spatialisation systems in VR. The chapter then moves to more complex concepts and processes, such as HRTF selection (system-to-user adaptation) and HRTF accommodation (user-to-system adaptation). State-of-the-art HRTF modelling and selection methods are presented, looking at various approaches and at how these have been evaluated. Similarly, the process of HRTF accommodation is detailed, with a case study employed as an example. Finally, the potential of these two approaches are discussed, considering their combined use in a practical context, as well as introducing a few open challenges for future research.

    The effect of COVID-19 on the home behaviours of people affected by dementia

    , npj Digital Medicine, Vol: 5, ISSN: 2398-6352

    The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically altered the behaviour of most of the world’s population, particularly affecting the elderly, including people living with dementia (PLwD). Here we use remote home monitoring technology deployed into 31 homes of PLwD living in the UK to investigate the effects of COVID-19 on behaviour within the home, including social isolation. The home activity was monitored continuously using unobtrusive sensors for 498 days from 1 December 2019 to 12 April 2021. This period included six distinct pandemic phases with differing public health measures, including three periods of home ‘lockdown’. Linear mixed-effects modelling is used to examine changes in the home activity of PLwD who lived alone or with others. An algorithm is developed to quantify time spent outside the home. Increased home activity is observed from very early in the pandemic, with a significant decrease in the time spent outside produced by the first lockdown. The study demonstrates the effects of COVID-19 lockdown on home behaviours in PLwD and shows how unobtrusive home monitoring can be used to track behaviours relevant to social isolation.

    Highly‐aligned ultra‐thick gel‐based cathodes unlocking ultra‐high energy density batteries

    , Energy & Environmental Materials, Vol: 5, Pages: 1332-1339, ISSN: 2575-0356

    Increasing electrode thickness can substantially enhance the specific energy of lithium-ion batteries, however ionic transport, electronic conductivity and ink rheology are current barriers to adoption. Here a novel approach using a mixed xanthan gum and locust bean gum binder to construct ultra-thick electrodes is proposed to address above issues. After combining aqueous binder with single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT), active material (LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2) and subsequent vacuum freeze drying, highly-aligned and low tortuosity structures with a porosity of ca. 50% can be achieved with an average pore size of 10 μm, whereby the gum binder-SWCNT-NMC811 forms vertical structures supported by tissue-like binder/SWCNT networks allowing for excellent electronic conducting phase percolation. As a result, ultra-thick electrodes with a mass loading of about 511 mg·cm-2 and 99.5 wt% active materials have been demonstrated with a remarkable areal capacity of 79.3 mAh·cm−2, which is the highest value reported so far. This represents a >25x improvement compared to conventional electrodes with an areal capacity of about 3 mAh·cm-2. This route also can be expanded to other electrode materials, such as LiFePO4 and Li4Ti5O12, and thus opens the possibility for low-cost and sustainable ultra-thick electrodes with increased specific energy for future lithium-ion batteries.

    Soft tissue characterisation using a novel robotic medical percussion device with acoustic analysis and neural networks

    , IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, Vol: 7, Pages: 11314-11321, ISSN: 2377-3766

    Medical percussion is a common manual examination procedure used by physicians to determine the state of underlying tissues from their acoustic responses. Although it has been used for centuries, there is a limited quantitative understanding of its dynamics, leading to subjectivity and a lack of detailed standardisation. This letter presents a novel compliant two-degree-of-freedom robotic device inspired by the human percussion action, and validates its performance in two tissue characterisation experiments. In Experiment 1, spectro-temporal analysis using 1-D Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) proved the potential of the device to identify hard nodules, mimicking lipomas, embedded in silicone phantoms representing a patient's abdominal region. In Experiment 2, Gaussian Mixture Modelling (GMM) and Neural Network (NN) predictive models were implemented to classify composite phantom tissues of varying density and thickness. The proposed device and methods showed up to 97.5% accuracy in the classification of phantoms, proving the potential of robotic solutions to standardise and improve the accuracy of percussion diagnostic procedures.

    Optimization of surgical robotic instrument mounting in a macro-micro manipulator setup for improving task execution

    , IEEE Transactions on Robotics, Vol: 38, Pages: 2858-2874, ISSN: 1552-3098

    In Minimally Invasive Robotic Surgery (MIRS),the surgical instrument is usually inserted inside the patient’sbody through a small incision, which acts as a Remote Centerof Motion (RCM). Serial-link manipulators can be used asmacro robots on which micro surgical robotic instruments aremounted to increase the number of degrees of freedom (DOFs)of the system and ensure safe task and RCM motion execution.However, the surgical instrument needs to be placed in anappropriate configuration when completing the motion tasks.The contribution of this work is to present a novel frameworkthat preoperatively identifies the best base configuration, interms or Roll, Pitch, and Yaw angles, of the micro surgicalinstrument with respect to the macro serial-link manipulator’send-effector in order to achieve the maximum accuracy anddexterity in performing specified tasks. The framework relieson Hierarchical Quadratic Programming (HQP) for the control,Genetic Algorithm (GA) for the optimization, and on a resilienceto error strategy to make sure deviations from the optimum donot affect the system’s performance.Simulation results show that the mounting configuration ofthe surgical instrument significantly impacts the performanceof the whole macro-micro manipulator in executing the desiredmotion tasks, and both the simulation and experimental resultsdemonstrate that the proposed optimization method improves theoverall performance.

    Regression markets and application to energy forecasting

    , TOP, Vol: 30, Pages: 533-573, ISSN: 1134-5764

    Energy forecasting has attracted enormous attention over the last few decades, with novel proposals related to the use of heterogeneous data sources, probabilistic forecasting, online learning, etc. A key aspect that emerged is that learning and forecasting may highly benefit from distributed data, though not only in the geographical sense. That is, various agents collect and own data that may be useful to others. In contrast to recent proposals that look into distributed and privacy-preserving learning (incentive-free), we explore here a framework called regression markets. There, agents aiming to improve their forecasts post a regression task, for which other agents may contribute by sharing their data for their features and get monetarily rewarded for it. The market design is for regression models that are linear in their parameters, and possibly separable, with estimation performed based on either batch or online learning. Both in-sample and out-of-sample aspects are considered, with markets for fitting models in-sample, and then for improving genuine forecasts out-of-sample. Such regression markets rely on recent concepts within interpretability of machine learning approaches and cooperative game theory, with Shapley additive explanations. Besides introducing the market design and proving its desirable properties, application results are shown based on simulation studies (to highlight the salient features of the proposal) and with real-world case studies.

    Continuous and Distribution-Free Probabilistic Wind Power Forecasting: A Conditional Normalizing Flow Approach

    , IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Energy, Vol: 13, Pages: 2250-2263, ISSN: 1949-3029

    We present a data-driven approach for probabilistic wind power forecasting based on conditional normalizing flow (CNF). In contrast with the existing, this approach is distribution-free (as for non-parametric and quantile-based approaches) and can directly yield continuous probability densities, hence avoiding quantile crossing. It relies on a base distribution and a set of bijective mappings. Both the shape parameters of the base distribution and the bijective mappings are approximated with neural networks. Spline-based conditional normalizing flow is considered owing to its non-affine characteristics. Over the training phase, the model sequentially maps input examples onto samples of base distribution, given the conditional contexts, where parameters are estimated through maximum likelihood. To issue probabilistic forecasts, one eventually maps samples of the base distribution into samples of a desired distribution. Case studies based on open datasets validate the effectiveness of the proposed model, and allows us to discuss its advantages and caveats with respect to the state of the art.

    A coupled phase field formulation for modelling fatigue cracking in lithium-ion battery electrode particles

    , Journal of Power Sources, Vol: 544, ISSN: 0378-7753

    Electrode particle cracking is one of the main phenomena driving battery capacity degradation. Recent phase field fracture studies have investigated particle cracking behaviour. However, only the beginning of life has been considered and effects such as damage accumulation have been neglected. Here, a multi-physics phase field fatigue model has been developed to study crack propagation in battery electrode particles undergoing hundreds of cycles. In addition, we couple our electrochemo-mechanical formulation with X-ray CT imaging to simulate fatigue cracking of realistic particle microstructures. Using this modelling framework, non-linear crack propagation behaviour is predicted, leading to the observation of an exponential increase in cracked area with cycle number. Three stages of crack growth (slow, accelerating and unstable) are observed, with phenomena such as crack initialisation at concave regions and crack coalescence having a significant contribution to the resulting fatigue crack growth rates. The critical values of C-rate, particle size and initial crack length are determined, and found to be lower than those reported in the literature using static fracture models. Therefore, this work demonstrates the importance of considering fatigue damage in battery degradation models and provides insights on the control of fatigue crack propagation to alleviate battery capacity degradation.
