User, metric, and computational evaluation of foveated rendering methods (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Swafford, N. T., Iglesias-Guitian, J. A., Koniaris, C., Moon, B., Cosker, D., & Mitchell, K. (2016, July). User, metric, and computational evaluation of foveated rendering methods. Presented at Proceedings of the ACM Symposium on Applied Perception - SAP '16

Perceptually lossless foveated rendering methods exploit human perception by selectively rendering at different quality levels based on eye gaze (at a lower computational cost) while still maintaining the user's perception of a full quality render. W... Read More about User, metric, and computational evaluation of foveated rendering methods.

Optimising a Waste Heat Recovery System using Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mokhtar, M., Hunt, I., Burns, S., & Ross, D. (2016, July). Optimising a Waste Heat Recovery System using Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm. Presented at Proceedings of the 2016 on Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference Companion - GECCO '16 Companion

A waste heat recovery system (WHRS) on a process with variable output, is an example of an intermittent renewable process. WHRS recycles waste heat into usable energy. As an example, waste heat produced from refrigeration can be used to provide hot w... Read More about Optimising a Waste Heat Recovery System using Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm.

Effect of diffuse radiation on the performance of a rotationally asymmetrical optical concentrator (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Freier, D., Muhammad-Sukki, F., Abu-Bakar, S. H., Ramirez-Iniguez, R., Munir, A. B., Yasin, S. H. M., & Mas'ud, A. A. (2016, March). Effect of diffuse radiation on the performance of a rotationally asymmetrical optical concentrator. Presented at 6th IEEE International Conference on Photonics (ICP), Kuching, Malaysia

This paper evaluates the performance of a recently patented rotationally asymmetrical dielectric totally internally reflective concentrator (RADTIRC) under diffuse radiation. The RADTIRC has a geometrical concentration gain of 4.969 and two half acce... Read More about Effect of diffuse radiation on the performance of a rotationally asymmetrical optical concentrator.

The workshop will provide an overview of critical themes to be covered in the Sage Handbook of Social Media Research Methods to be published in 2016. The Handbook is the first book to cover not only the entire research process in social media researc... Read More about Small data and big data controversies and alternatives.

Adaptive polynomial rendering (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Moon, B., McDonagh, S., Mitchell, K., & Gross, M. (2016, July). Adaptive polynomial rendering. Presented at ACM SIGGRAPH 2016, Anaheim, California, US

In this paper, we propose a new adaptive rendering method to improve the performance of Monte Carlo ray tracing, by reducing noise contained in rendered images while preserving high-frequency edges. Our method locally approximates an image with polyn... Read More about Adaptive polynomial rendering.

Building timber gridshells with air: Numerical simulations and technique challenges (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Liuti, A., D'Amico, B., & Pugnale, A. (2016, July). Building timber gridshells with air: Numerical simulations and technique challenges. Presented at International Conference Structures and Architecture 2016

Construction has always been a fascinating and challenging aspect of timber gridshells. So far, only three techniques have successfully been used for the erection of such structures: the so-called ‘lift-up’, ‘push-up’ and ‘ease-down’ (Quinn et al. 20...

This paper focuses on the importance of non-public social media spaces in contemporary democratic participation at the grassroots level, based on case studies of citizen-led, community and activist groups. The research pilots the concept of participa... Read More about Non-public eParticipation in Social Media Spaces.

The role of reporting mechanisms in transport policy implementation by local authorities in England. (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McTigue, C., Rye, T., & Monios, J. (2016, July). The role of reporting mechanisms in transport policy implementation by local authorities in England. Paper presented at World Conference on Transport Research, Shanghai, China

Objectives This paper provides an insight into the implementation of local transport policy. The UK Transport Act 2000 made a number of reforms, requiring all local transport authorities in England, outside of London, to produce a local transport pl...

Inbound logistics, the last mile and intermodal high capacity transport (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bergqvist, R., & Monios, J. (2016, July). Inbound logistics, the last mile and intermodal high capacity transport. Paper presented at World Conference on Transport Research

Some of the biggest challenges for intermodal transport competitiveness are the extra handling costs and pre- and post-haulage costs. This paper investigates the use of Intermodal High Capacity Transport (IHCT) for the intermodal transport chain in g...
