Adaptive CFAR PN Code Acquisition for DSSS Systems (2008)
Thesis
Wei, B. (2008). Adaptive CFAR PN Code Acquisition for DSSS Systems. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University

The communication between transmitter and receiver in Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) systems starts with synchronisation, which can be carried out in two steps: acquisition and tracking. Acquisition is the coarse searching of the delay of PN... Read More about Adaptive CFAR PN Code Acquisition for DSSS Systems.

Uncertainty and communication complexity in iterated cooperation games (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Andras, P. (2008). Uncertainty and communication complexity in iterated cooperation games. In Artificial Life XI 2008 (9-16)

Iterated cooperation games (e.g. Prisoner’s Dilemma) are used to analyze the emergence and evolution of cooperation among selfish individuals. Uncertainty of outcomes of games is an important factor that influences the level of cooperation. Communica... Read More about Uncertainty and communication complexity in iterated cooperation games.

Preference for plants in an office environment (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pitt, M., & Smith, A. (2008). Preference for plants in an office environment. In Healthy and Creative Facilities: CIB W070 Conference in Facilities Management (629-637)

Plants in the workplace are known to bring a number of benefits including psychological as well as aesthetic and air quality benefits. Therefore, plants can have an impact on overall organisational performance. However, findings of previous studies h... Read More about Preference for plants in an office environment.

A remote marriage: The theory and practice of being apart and staying together. (2008)
Book Chapter
Wigan, M. (2008). A remote marriage: The theory and practice of being apart and staying together. In S. Holland (Ed.), Remote relationships in a small world (277-284). Peter Land

Small children, a time consuming job, and remote living are not conducive to a happy life. Why does one choose to do it? If one has to, how can one arrange one's life to make a family work? What can communications do to help? It is easy to ask the qu... Read More about A remote marriage: The theory and practice of being apart and staying together..
