Medical research funding may have over-expanded and be due for collapse (2005)
Journal Article
Charlton, B., & Andras, P. (2005). Medical research funding may have over-expanded and be due for collapse. QJM: An International Journal of Medicine, 98(1), 53-55. https://doi.org/10.1093/qjmed/hci003

The continual and uninterrupted expansion of medical research funding is generally assumed to be a permanent feature of modern societies, but this expectation may turn out to be mistaken. Sciences tend to go through boom and bust phases. Twentieth ce... Read More about Medical research funding may have over-expanded and be due for collapse.

Visual perception of content-prioritised sign language video quality. (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Muir, L. J., Richardson, I. E. G., & Hamilton, K. (2005, April). Visual perception of content-prioritised sign language video quality. Presented at The IEE International Conference on Visual Information Engineering (VIE 2005)

Video communication systems currently provide poor quality and performance for deaf people using sign language, particularly at low bit rates. Our previous work, involving eye movement tracking experiments and analysis of visual attention mechanisms... Read More about Visual perception of content-prioritised sign language video quality..

Managing social capital as knowledge management – some specification and representation issues. (2005)
Journal Article
Davenport, E., Graham, M., Kennedy, J., & Taylor, K. (2005). Managing social capital as knowledge management – some specification and representation issues. Proceedings of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, 40, 101-108. https://doi.org/10.1002/meet.1450400113

‘Classic’ accounts of social capital have emerged in accounts of stable networks or institutional environments. These conditions do not apply in the case of many firms – a case in point being small firm networks that rely on rapid turnover of pr...

Network node, a communication network and a method of operation therefor (2005)
Patent
Lach, H., & Romdhani, I. (2005). Network node, a communication network and a method of operation therefor. US20050720871 20051209

A communication network (100) comprises a roaming network node (109) which may move within the network. The network node (109) comprises a network interface (201) for receiving data from a first node (107) of the network (100). The received data may...

Responsive environments, place and presence. (2005)
Journal Article
McCall, R., O'Neill, S., Carroll, F., Benyon, D., & Smyth, M. (2005). Responsive environments, place and presence. PsychNology journal, 3, 34-74

This paper examines the effect that changing arena (i.e. an immersive CAVE or head mounted display) and adding an augmented barrier has on the sense of place and presence in two photo-realistic virtual environments. Twenty eight subjects (17 male, 1... Read More about Responsive environments, place and presence..

The impact of the shape of antibody recognition regions on the emergence of idiotypic networks. (2005)
Journal Article
Hart, E., & Ross, P. (2005). The impact of the shape of antibody recognition regions on the emergence of idiotypic networks. International Journal of Unconventional Computing, 1, 281-313

One of the components of an AIS algorithm that most distinguishes it from other paradigms is the use of an affinity funciton. However, for the most part, the implications of choosing a suitable matching rule and the likely effects on the algorithm fr...

Critical analysis and error determination of locating-finding techniques in GSM. (2005)
Journal Article
Buchanan, W. J., Raja, A., & Munoz, J. (2005). Critical analysis and error determination of locating-finding techniques in GSM. International Journal of Mobile Communications, 3, 165-182. https://doi.org/10.1504/IJMC.2005.005905

GPS is a well-established technique for location-finding, but mobile phone-based methods are generally less expensive to implement, and can give reasonable accuracies. These techniques can thus be useful to network operators in providing services bas... Read More about Critical analysis and error determination of locating-finding techniques in GSM..
