Improvement of Sound Quality by Means of Ultra-Soft Elastomer for the Gel Type Inertia Driven DML Type Transducer. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cho, M., Prokofieva, E., Munoz, J., & Barker, M. (2010). Improvement of Sound Quality by Means of Ultra-Soft Elastomer for the Gel Type Inertia Driven DML Type Transducer.

Unlike standard DML transducers, the gel-type inertia driven transducer (referred to as the gel transducer in this paper) designed as a mini woofer DML-type transducer, transfers its pistonic movement to a panel through the gel surround, thereby gene...

The future of quality control for wood & wood products. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
(2010). The future of quality control for wood & wood products. In D. Ridley-Ellis, & J. Moore (Eds.), Proceedings of the final conference of COST Action E53

The principal aim of the COST Action E53 was to improve methods of quality control in processing round wood and timber to ensure that timber products and components meet the requirements of the users. The Action also promoted the improvement of spe... Read More about The future of quality control for wood & wood products..

Is bigger better? Film success in small countries – the case of Scotland, Ireland and Denmark. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
MacPherson, R. (2010). Is bigger better? Film success in small countries – the case of Scotland, Ireland and Denmark.

Small European countries with low levels of film production might be expected to suffer from diseconomies of scale and other structural disadvantages that would tend to produce a lower ratio of ‘hits’ to ‘flops’ than larger countries. Analysis of Sc... Read More about Is bigger better? Film success in small countries – the case of Scotland, Ireland and Denmark..

Parametric Investigation of Lateral Spreading in Free‐Face Ground Formations (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Valsamis, A., Bouckovalas, G., & Dimitriadi, V. (2010, May). Parametric Investigation of Lateral Spreading in Free‐Face Ground Formations. Paper presented at 5th International Conference on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Engineering and Soil Dynamics, San Diego, California

Liquefaction-induced lateral spreading can cause extensive damage and even failure to foundations and earthworks resting inside or in the vicinity of the affected ground. The current practice for the evaluation of the ground surface displacement due... Read More about Parametric Investigation of Lateral Spreading in Free‐Face Ground Formations.

Structural Performance of thinned oak containers (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Savage, N., & Kermani, A. (2010). Structural Performance of thinned oak containers. In The Future of Quality Control for Wood & Wood Products

Traditional containers such as barrels, used in the transportation and storage of food and liquid, have been constructed from timber for thousands of years. The design of the container has evolved over time and the original design specifications have... Read More about Structural Performance of thinned oak containers.

The potential for ‘Green’ fiscal measures to lessen the environmental impact of private car use in Scotland. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Borthwick, S. (2010, May). The potential for ‘Green’ fiscal measures to lessen the environmental impact of private car use in Scotland. Paper presented at FECCI Postgraduate Research Conference

The system of vehicle taxation has been identified as a crucial element in the transport policy agenda, particularly in facilitating the transition towards lower emission vehicles. The research seeks to add insight into the psychology behind the purc... Read More about The potential for ‘Green’ fiscal measures to lessen the environmental impact of private car use in Scotland..

Virtual relationships – behind a veil? (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cowan, J. (2010). Virtual relationships – behind a veil?. In Proceedings of conference on “Academic Identities for the 21st Century”

As a personal development tutor, mentor, or critical friend in virtual learning environments, the writer has preferred to remain a virtual personality, somewhat behind a veil. That decision was once endorsed by a student’s feedback that “It’s easier... Read More about Virtual relationships – behind a veil?.
