Theoretical and measured torsional behaviour of rectangular hollow sections. (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ridley-Ellis, D., Owen, J. S., & Davies, G. (2002). Theoretical and measured torsional behaviour of rectangular hollow sections.

Theories for torsion of Rectangular Hollow Sections (RHS) are compared and thick wall theory is shown to be a better representation of behaviour. The results of torsion tests on hot-finished steel RHS are discussed and compared to the predictions of...

Understanding how to improve the accessibility of computers through cursor control studies (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Keates, S., Clarkson, P. J., & Robinson, P. (2002, April). Understanding how to improve the accessibility of computers through cursor control studies. Presented at CHI '02 Human Factors in Computing Systems, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA

People with motion-impairments often find it difficult to perform many of the actions required to interact with a computer. This paper presents the results of an on-going series of experiments designed to understand how using force feedback affects i...

Development of a whole cell biochip for toxicant detection. (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Waldie, F. L., Binnie, D., & Christofi, N. (2002, April). Development of a whole cell biochip for toxicant detection. Paper presented at XIIth International Symposium on Bioluminescence and Chemiluminescence

In the development of biosensors for ecotoxicity testing it is desirable to produce a small, portable system that can be used in the field. Toxicity testing using bioluminescence is widely used in the laboratory utilising natural and genetically mod... Read More about Development of a whole cell biochip for toxicant detection..

Improving street based routing using building block mutations. (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Urquhart, N. B., Ross, P., Paechter, B., & Chisholm, K. (2002, April). Improving street based routing using building block mutations. Presented at Workshops on Applications of Evolutionary Computation EvoWorkshops 2002, Kinsale, Ireland

Street based routing (SBR) is a real-world inspired routing problem that builds routes within an urban area for mail deliveries. The authors have previously attempted to solve this problem using an Evolutionary Algorithm (EA). In this paper the autho...

Soundfields and soundscapes: reifying auditory communities (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McGregor, I., Crerar, A., Benyon, D., & Macaulay, C. (2002). Soundfields and soundscapes: reifying auditory communities. In Proceedings of the 2002 International Conference on Auditory Display, Kyoto, Japan, July 2-5, 2002 (290-294)

This paper reports progress towards mapping workplace soundscapes. In order to design auditory interfaces that integrate effectively with workplace environments, we need a detailed understanding of the way in which end users inhabit these environment...
