Wilde, N. (author), Smith, Stephen L. (author), Alonso-Mora, J. (author)When designing a motion planner for autonomous robots there are usually multiple objectives to be considered. However, a cost function that yields the desired trade-off between objectives is not easily obtainable. A common technique across many applications is to use a weighted sum of relevant objective functions and then carefully adapt the...journal article 2024

Hung, S. (author), Kalisvaart, D. (author), Smith, C.S. (author)Image scanning microscopy (ISM) achieves resolution beyond the diffraction limit by a factor of √2. However, prior ISM research predominantly employs scalar diffraction theory, neglecting critical physical effects such as polarization, aberrations, and Stokes shift. This paper presents a comprehensive vectorial ISM point spread function (PSF)...journal article 2024

(author), McNabola, Aonghus (author), Smith, William (author), Timoney, David (author), Ekhtiari, Ali (author), Fowler, Ben (author), Willis, Paul (author), Rose, Rebecca (author)Assessing real-world emissions from buses and taxis is vital to comprehend their impact on urban air quality. Such vehicles differ significantly from the majority of the fleet owing to their higher mileage rates. However, few studies have focused on specifically assessing the emissions from this segment of the vehicle fleet. In this context,...journal article 2024

Khosravi, M. (author), Huber, Benjamin (author), Decoussemaeker, Antoon (author), Heer, Philipp (author), Smith, Roy S. (author)Model Predictive Control can cope with conflicting control objectives in building energy managements. In terms of user satisfaction, visual comfort has been proven in several studies to be a crucial factor, however thermal comfort is typically considered the only important aspect. Besides human well-being, visual comfort strongly impacts the...journal article 2024

Kalisvaart, D. (author), Hung, S. (author), Smith, C.S. (author)Modulation enhanced single-molecule localization microscopy (meSMLM), where emitters are sparsely activated with sequentially applied patterned illumination, increases the localization precision over single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM). The precision improvement of modulation enhanced SMLM is derived from retrieving the position of an...journal article 2024

(author), Zoon, Arthur (author), Smith, Gregory (author)This study treats a detached homogenous low-crested structure (HLCS) made of Cubipod concrete elements placed seaward of a vertical wall (forming a basin in between) to reduce overtopping. Assessing the complex hydrodynamics and effects of changing the geometry of such a system in relation to overtopping reduction is challenging. The...journal article 2024

Smith, Caitlin (author), Shepherd, Jami (author), Renaud, G.G.J. (author), van Wijk, Kasper (author)We present a technique called photoacoustic vector-flow (PAVF) to quantify the speed and direction of flowing optical absorbers at each pixel from acoustic-resolution PA images. By varying the receiving angle at each pixel in post-processing, we obtain multiple estimates of the phase difference between consecutive frames. These are used to...journal article 2024

ATCC 39006 is a Gram-negative bacterium that has been used to study the function of phage defences, such as CRISPR-Cas, and phage counter-defence mechanisms. To expand our phage collection to study the phage-host interaction with Serratia sp. ATCC 39006, we isolated the T4-like myovirus LC53 in Ōtepoti Dunedin, Aotearoa New...journal article 2023

van de Ven, Daan (author), Hofland, Bas (author), van Kester, Dennis (author), Smith, Greg (author), Antonini, A. (author)When constructing land reclamations, often sand is placed on top of the coarse rock of the bund surrounding the reclamation. The use of a geometrically open filter between the interface of sand and rock could be cost effective. It is expected that even a geometrically open filter with sand on top of gravel might be stable due to the arching...conference paper 2023
