Journal Article
Wilmsmeier, G., & Monios, J. (2015). The production of capitalist “smooth” space in global port operations. Journal of Transport Geography, 47, 59-69. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtrangeo.2015.06.016

New developments in a post-Fordist economic environment have changed the source of port competitiveness from economies of scale based on basic production factors (capital, land, labour) to economies of scope based on advanced production (service) fac...

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Andras, P. (2015). Environmental Factors and the Emergence of Cultural – Technical Innovations. In Proceedings of the European Conference on Artificial Life 2015 (130-137). https://doi.org/10.7551/978-0-262-33027-5-ch028

Environmental factors that determine ecological niches, for example natural boundaries formed by mountains, rivers, deserts, contribute to the speciation among animals. Similar factors have been proposed to be important for the... Read More about Environmental Factors and the Emergence of Cultural – Technical Innovations.

Orbits: gaze Interaction for smart watches using smooth pursuit eye movements. (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Esteves, A., Velloso, E., Bulling, A., & Gellersen, H. (2015, November). Orbits: gaze Interaction for smart watches using smooth pursuit eye movements. Presented at 28th Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software & Technology

We introduce Orbits, a novel gaze interaction technique that enables hands-free input on smart watches. The technique relies on moving controls to leverage the smooth pursuit movements of the eyes and detect whether and at which control the user is l...

Integrating SUMO and kalman filter models towards a social network based approach of public transport arrival time prediction (2015)
Journal Article
Abidin, A. F., Kolberg, M., & Hussain, A. (2015). Integrating SUMO and kalman filter models towards a social network based approach of public transport arrival time prediction. International Journal of Simulation: Systems, Science & Technology, 16(3), 5.1-5.9. https://doi.org/10.5013/IJSSST.a.16.03.05

Bus arrival time is a key service for improving public transport attractiveness by providing users with an accurate arrival time. In this research, a model of bus arrival time prediction, which aims to improve arrival time accuracy, is proposed. The...

Automating condition monitoring of vegetation on railway trackbeds and embankments (2015)
Thesis
Nyberg, R. G. Automating condition monitoring of vegetation on railway trackbeds and embankments. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/462294

Vegetation growing on railway trackbeds and embankments present potential problems. The presence of vegetation threatens the safety of personnel inspecting the railway infrastructure. In addition vegetation growth clogs the ballast and results in ina... Read More about Automating condition monitoring of vegetation on railway trackbeds and embankments.

Viability of cross-laminated timber from UK resources (2015)
Journal Article
Crawford, D., Smith, S., Hairstans, R., & Papastavrou, P. (2015). Viability of cross-laminated timber from UK resources. Proceedings of the ICE - Construction Materials, 168(3), 110-120. https://doi.org/10.1680/coma.14.00064

Cross-laminated timber is an innovative engineered timber product that can be used for almost all superstructure elements. It is typically produced from kiln-dried, fast-growing softwood timber. Currently there is no commercial production in the UK a... Read More about Viability of cross-laminated timber from UK resources.

Modelling and Characterization of NAND Flash Memory Channels. (2015)
Journal Article
Xu, Q., Gong, P., Chen, T. M., Michael, J., & Li, S. (2015). Modelling and Characterization of NAND Flash Memory Channels. Measurement : journal of the International Measurement Confederation, 70, 225-231. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.measurement.2015.04.003

The threshold voltage distribution after ideal programming in NAND flash memory cells is usually distorted by a combination of the random telegraph noise (RTN), cell-to-cell Interference (CCI), and the retention process. To decide the original bits m... Read More about Modelling and Characterization of NAND Flash Memory Channels..

How does Term-time Paid Work Affect Higher Education Students’ Studies, and What can be Done to Minimise any Negative Effects? (2015)
