Auto-ethnography: problems, pitfalls and promise (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sobolewska, E., Smith, C. F., & Turner, P. (2009, April). Auto-ethnography: problems, pitfalls and promise. Paper presented at HCI Educators 2009

The teaching and perhaps more importantly the practice of ethnographic techniques has become increasing important within Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). But ethnography is also synonymous with in situ data collection over extended periods of time m... Read More about Auto-ethnography: problems, pitfalls and promise.

Random acts of elasticity: MoE, G and EN408. (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ridley-Ellis, D., Moore, J., & Khokhar, A. M. (2009). Random acts of elasticity: MoE, G and EN408.

The paper examines the variation in modulus of elasticity (MoE) and shear modulus (G) within sawn timber and the implications for testing timber in accordance with EN408:2003. A combination of mechanical testing and simple analytical modelling is us... Read More about Random acts of elasticity: MoE, G and EN408..

Structural and optical properties of electrodeposited Cd0.7Zn0.3Se thin films: Effect of annealing (2009)
Journal Article
Chavhan, S., Mane, R., Ganesh, T., Lee, W., Han, S., Senthilarasu, S., & Lee, S. (2009). Structural and optical properties of electrodeposited Cd0.7Zn0.3Se thin films: Effect of annealing. Journal of Alloys and Compounds, 474(1-2), 210-213. https://doi.or

Thin films of cadmium zinc selenide (Cd0.7Zn0.3Se) were deposited on ITO substrate by electrodeposition technique. The as-deposited films were annealed at 200, 300 and 400 °C for 1 h in ambient air. Composition, surface morphology and structural prop... Read More about Structural and optical properties of electrodeposited Cd0.7Zn0.3Se thin films: Effect of annealing.

A dynamic connection capability for pervasive adaptive environments using JCSP (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kosek, A., Syed, A., Kerridge, J., & Armitage, A. (2009, April). A dynamic connection capability for pervasive adaptive environments using JCSP. Paper presented at AISB 2009 Convention

The house, office or warehouse environment is full of devices that make users’ life and work easier. People nowadays use personal computers, laptops, Personal Digital Assistants, mobile phones and many more devices with ease. The mechanism to connec...

Playing the game: HCI careers in the competency era (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McEwan, T. (2009, April). Playing the game: HCI careers in the competency era. Paper presented at HCI Educators 2009

This paper summarises the increasing formalization of HCI-related job-roles in competency frameworks (such as the UK’s Skills Framework for the Information Age – SFIA), and the adoption of these by industry. At present these are mainly in mature area... Read More about Playing the game: HCI careers in the competency era.

Agent-based tools for modeling and simulation of self-organization in peer-to-peer, ad hoc, and other complex networks (2009)
Journal Article
Niazi, M., & Hussain, A. (2009). Agent-based tools for modeling and simulation of self-organization in peer-to-peer, ad hoc, and other complex networks. IEEE Communications Magazine, 47(3), 166-173. https://doi.org/10.1109/MCOM.2009.4804403

Agent-based modeling and simulation tools provide a mature platform for development of complex simulations. They however, have not been applied much in the domain of mainstream modeling and simulation of computer networks. In this article, we evaluat...

Why does acetylation protect wood from microbiological attack? (2009)
Journal Article
Hill, C. A. S. (2009). Why does acetylation protect wood from microbiological attack?. Wood Material Science and Engineering, 4(1-2), 37-45. https://doi.org/10.1080/17480270903249409

Three main mechanisms have been postulated for explaining why acetylation provides protection from wood against fungal decay, which can be divided into biochemical (substrate recognition) and physical (cell wall nanopore blocking or cell wall moistur...
