Enhancing the ‘Employability Journey’ for Year 3 direct entrant computing students. (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Smith, C. F., & Durkin, P. (2015, June). Enhancing the ‘Employability Journey’ for Year 3 direct entrant computing students. Presented at QAA Enhancement Themes

This paper addresses the theme of transitions during study through the experience of college students as they become 3rd year direct entrants on computing degree programmes, and as they prepare to undertake either graduate work or summer placement at...

Decision principles for routing strategies: games against nature and demons. (2015)
Journal Article
Schmoecker, J., & Fonzone, A. (2015). Decision principles for routing strategies: games against nature and demons. Asian transport studies, 3(4), 362-377. https://doi.org/10.11175/eastsats.3.362

In this paper we firstly review general decision principles under uncertainty and apply them to route choice decisions. Risk-averse behaviour leads to the description of route choice a game. The difference between games against demons and nature are... Read More about Decision principles for routing strategies: games against nature and demons..

Grid diversity operator for some population-based optimization algorithms. (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Salah, A., & Hart, E. (2015, July). Grid diversity operator for some population-based optimization algorithms. Presented at GECCO’15 Companion

We present a novel diversity method named Grid Diversity
Operator (GDO) that can be incorporated into multiple
population-based optimization algorithms that guides the
containing algorithm in creating new individuals in sparsely
visited areas of... Read More about Grid diversity operator for some population-based optimization algorithms..

Some new uniform approximate analytical representations of the Blasius function. (2015)
Journal Article
Robin, W. (2015). Some new uniform approximate analytical representations of the Blasius function. Global Journal of Mathematics, 2, 150-155

New uniform approximations of the Blasius velocity profile and Blasius function are developed from existing rational approximations of the Blasius velocity profile and of the Blasius function itself. Essentially, the existing rational approximations... Read More about Some new uniform approximate analytical representations of the Blasius function..

On compact uniform analytical approximations to the Blasius Velocity profile. (2015)
Journal Article
Robin, W. (2015). On compact uniform analytical approximations to the Blasius Velocity profile. International Mathematical Forum, 10, 311-322. https://doi.org/10.12988/imf.2015.514

It is shown that approximate analytical representations of the Blasius function may be developed by using the error function, erf (ax), for positive constant a, as a basic compact approximate form for the derivative of the Blasius function, that is,...

Avoiding dialogues of non-discovery through promoting dialogues of discovery. (2015)
Journal Article
Richards, K., & Pilcher, N. (2015). Avoiding dialogues of non-discovery through promoting dialogues of discovery. Dialogic Pedagogy, 3, 43-64. https://doi.org/10.5195/dpj.2015.101

International students and direct entrants—those entering a higher year of a degree—often come from socio-economic or cultural backgrounds different from traditional students, and have different educational backgrounds. It is assumed such students ne... Read More about Avoiding dialogues of non-discovery through promoting dialogues of discovery..

Assessment of efficiency of air abrasive cleaning on masonry stones and bricks using greyscale Imaging analysis. (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Reza, H., Zhang, B., & Gupta, N. K. (2015, April). Assessment of efficiency of air abrasive cleaning on masonry stones and bricks using greyscale Imaging analysis. Presented at Second Intl. Conf. on Advances in Civil, Structural and Construction Engineering

Advanced greyscale imaging analysis was
conducted using Adobe Photoshop 6 on the surfaces of masonry
stones and clay bricks, taken from old buildings, to accurately
assess the efficiency of building cleaning. Five commonly used
masonry stones and... Read More about Assessment of efficiency of air abrasive cleaning on masonry stones and bricks using greyscale Imaging analysis..

Review of e-Health Frameworks. (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Prajapati, B., Buchanan, W. J., Smales, A., Macfarlane, R., & Spyra, G. (2015). Review of e-Health Frameworks. In Health Informatics Conference 2015

In order to improve the quality of health care and widen the accessibility, health care providers are consistently looking to inject information and communication technology to the traditional health care system (Mair, et al., 2012). This process can... Read More about Review of e-Health Frameworks..

Visual-spatial-motor integration in a cross-section of primary-aged children: implications for assessing risk of Dyslexia (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Piotrowska, B., Willis, A., MacLean, R., Murray, J., & Kerridge, J. (2015, August). Visual-spatial-motor integration in a cross-section of primary-aged children: implications for assessing risk of Dyslexia. Presented at European Conference on Visual Perception (ECVP) 2015

Dyslexia is a common condition characterized by difficulties with reading and writing despite adequate intelligence, education and motivation. Many individuals with dyslexia also have problems integrating visual information over space and time, and /...

Extending the semiotics of embodied interaction to blended spaces. (2015)
Journal Article
O'Neill, S., & Benyon, D. (2015). Extending the semiotics of embodied interaction to blended spaces. Human technology an interdisciplinary journal on humans in ICT environments, 11, 30-56. https://doi.org/10.17011/ht/urn.201505061739

In this paper, we develop a new way of understanding interactions in blended spaces. We do this by developing ideas about embodied semiotics and then apply these ideas to the analysis of interaction in mixed-reality blended spaces (where the physical...
