Content-prioritised video coding for British Sign Language communication (2007)
Thesis
Muir, L. J. Content-prioritised video coding for British Sign Language communication. (Thesis). Robert Gordon University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/9351

Video communication of British Sign Language (BSL) is important for remote interpersonal communication and for the equal provision of services for deaf people. However, the use of video telephony and video conferencing applications for BSL communicat... Read More about Content-prioritised video coding for British Sign Language communication.

Synthesis of Cd1−xMnxS nanoclusters by surfactant-assisted method: Structural, optical and magnetic properties (2007)
Journal Article
Sudhagar, P., Sathyamoorthy, R., Chandramohan, S., Senthilarasu, S., & Lee, S. (2008). Synthesis of Cd1−xMnxS nanoclusters by surfactant-assisted method: Structural, optical and magnetic properties. Materials Letters, 62(16), 2430-2433. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matlet.2007.12.013

Cd1 − xMnxS nanoclusters were synthesized by surfactant-assisted chemical method for different Manganese (Mn) concentration (0.40 ≤ x ≥ 0.10) at 60 °C in argon atmosphere. Incorporation of magnetic ions (Mn) results a decrease in band gap of Cd1 − xM...

The role of trait anxiety in the recognition of emotional facial expressions (2007)
Journal Article
Cooper, R. M., Rowe, A. C., & Penton-Voak, I. S. (2008). The role of trait anxiety in the recognition of emotional facial expressions. Journal of Anxiety Disorders, 22(7), 1120-1127. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.janxdis.2007.11.010

Previous work has suggested that elevated levels of trait anxiety are associated with an increased ability to accurately recognize the facial expression of fear. However, to date, recognition has only been assessed after viewing periods of 10s, despi... Read More about The role of trait anxiety in the recognition of emotional facial expressions.

A conference panel - but not as we know it! (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McEwan, T., England, D., O'Neill, E., Bryan-Kinns, N., & Finlay, J. (2007, September). A conference panel - but not as we know it!. Presented at 21st British HCI Group Annual Conference

This panel will take the form of a public debate about whether the conference of which it forms part has a future. Academic conferences are increasingly hard to cost-justify and growing awareness of the environmental impact adds to the negative aspec...

Beyond beyond. (2007)
Journal Article
Turner, M. (2007). Beyond beyond. Journal of Visual Culture, 6, 349-353. https://doi.org/10.1177/1470412907084513

My paper reviews the evidence for, and the reasons why science exhibit design evidently fails to convey cognitive knowledge through affective display. Evidence is drawn on pilot interviews with curators, designers and visitors at science exhibits in... Read More about Beyond beyond..

The role of renewable and non-renewable sources for meeting future UK energy needs (2007)
Journal Article
Asif, M., Currie, J., & Muneer, T. (2007). The role of renewable and non-renewable sources for meeting future UK energy needs. International Journal of Nuclear Governance, Economy and Ecology, 1, 372-383. https://doi.org/10.1504/IJNGEE.2007.016657

Provision of sufficient, affordable and secure energy is very crucial for modern economies. Countries across the world are facing energy challenges one way or the other. This article discusses the present energy scenario of the UK and the emerging ch... Read More about The role of renewable and non-renewable sources for meeting future UK energy needs.
