Journal Article
Campbell, S. A., Henriquez, F. L., Campbell, S. A., Roberts, C. W., Mullen, A. B., Burchmore, R., & Carter, K. C. (2010). Vaccination with Recombinant Leishmania donovani Gamma-Glutamylcysteine Synthetase Fusion Protein Protects Against L. donovani Infection. Journal of Parasitology, 96(5), 929-936. https://doi.org/10.1645/ge-2360.1

Visceral leishmaniasis presents a serious health threat in many parts of the world. There is, therefore, an urgent need for an approved vaccine for clinical use to protect against infection. In this study, the ability of recombinant Leishmania donova...

The medium makes the message: Effects of cues on students' lecture notes (2010)
Journal Article
Huxham, M. (2010). The medium makes the message: Effects of cues on students' lecture notes. Active learning in higher education, 11(3), 179-188. https://doi.org/10.1177/1469787410379681

Previous work has shown that students’ notes often fail to record key facts and concepts. The relatively recent widespread adoption of PowerPoint slides and handouts might now help students to record key issues, but only if they can recognize the cue...

The effect of sewage discharge on the ecosystem engineering activities of two East African fiddler crab species: Consequences for mangrove ecosystem functioning (2010)
Journal Article
Bartolini, F., Cimò, F., Fusi, M., Dahdouh-Guebas, F., Lopes, G. P., & Cannicci, S. (2011). The effect of sewage discharge on the ecosystem engineering activities of two East African fiddler crab species: Consequences for mangrove ecosystem functioning. Marine Environmental Research, 71(1), 53-61. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marenvres.2010.10.002

A number of studies have suggested that mangrove forests and their faunal components may be pre-adapted to the impact of organic waste discharge, making them possible natural wastewater treatment wetlands. However, the results from recent research ar...

Seeing More Clearly with Glasses?: The Impact of Glasses and Technology on Unfamiliar Face Matching and Identification of Facial Composites (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McIntyre, A. H., Hancock, P. J., Frowd, C. D., & Bruce, V. (2010, September). Seeing More Clearly with Glasses?: The Impact of Glasses and Technology on Unfamiliar Face Matching and Identification of Facial Composites. Presented at 2010 International Conference on Emerging Security Technologies

The development of facial identification technologies is of vital importance for security. We demonstrate that psychology can ensure innovation produces applications with effective human outcomes. Experiments 1a-c show spectacle removal imaging techn...

Chalmers, C., & Garden, C. (2010). Texting in Class. [http://staff.napier.ac.uk/services/dlte/LTA/resources/Pages/Details.aspx?ItemID=14&Section=CS]

In large student cohorts, it can be intimidating for students to ask questions. We have introduced "text walling" as a means of allowing students to ask questions by mobile phone (a technology familiar to all students). The questions appear on the co... Read More about Texting in Class.

Children with autism's perception and understanding of ambiguous figures: Evidence for pictorial metarepresentation, a research note (2010)
Journal Article
Wimmer, M. C., & Doherty, M. J. (2010). Children with autism's perception and understanding of ambiguous figures: Evidence for pictorial metarepresentation, a research note. British Journal of Developmental Psychology, 28(3), 627-641. https://doi.org/10.1348/026151009X465362

A large body of autism research over the last 20 years has shown that people with autism have difficulties understanding mental states. This has been conceived of as a metarepresentational deficit. An open question is whether people with autism's met...

Giving Crime the 'evo': Catching Criminals Using EvoFIT Facial Composites (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Frowd, C. D., Hancock, P. J., Bruce, V., McIntyre, A. H., Pitchford, M., Atkins, R., Webster, A., Pollard, J., Hunt, B., Price, E., Morgan, S., Stoika, A., Dughila, R., Maftei, S., & Sendrea, G. (2010, September). Giving Crime the 'evo': Catching Criminals Using EvoFIT Facial Composites. Presented at 2010 International Conference on Emerging Security Technologies

Facial composites are traditionally made by witnesses and victims describing and selecting parts of criminals’ faces, but this method is hard to do and has been shown to be generally ineffective. We have been working on an alternative system called E... Read More about Giving Crime the 'evo': Catching Criminals Using EvoFIT Facial Composites.

Effects of ozone exposure on the xerophilic fungus, Eurotium amstelodami IS-SAB-01, isolated from naan bread (2010)
Journal Article

Identifying field measures to estimate backpack load-carriage work intensity in elite soldiers is of interest to the military. This study developed rating of perceived exertion (RPE) and heart rate models to define metabolic workload for a backpack l...
