Rich Pictures: understanding complexity through icons. (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Berg, T. (2012, September). Rich Pictures: understanding complexity through icons. Presented at Operational Research (OR54) conference

Rich pictures are a powerful tool for understanding complexity. The rich picture is not only a tool to aid discussion and debate about problem situations. We claim that understanding the iconography produced during the picturing process leads to a k... Read More about Rich Pictures: understanding complexity through icons..

Influence of stiffness of between-joists bracing on vibrational serviceability of wood floors. (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Khokhar, A., Chui, Y., & Smith, I. (2012, July). Influence of stiffness of between-joists bracing on vibrational serviceability of wood floors. Presented at World Conference on Timber Engineering

Floors with repetitive parallel wood joists overlain by wood panel sheathing behave as orthotropic two-way structures since their along-joist stiffness is much higher than across-joist stiffness. Due to this orthotropy, they have a tendency to produc... Read More about Influence of stiffness of between-joists bracing on vibrational serviceability of wood floors..

Soundscapes and repertory grids: comparing listeners’ and a designer’s experiences. (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McGregor, I., & Turner, P. (2012, September). Soundscapes and repertory grids: comparing listeners’ and a designer’s experiences. Presented at ECCE '12: Proceedings of the 30th European Conference on Cognitive Ergonomics, Raleigh, North Carolina

This paper reports on establishing whether listeners have the same listening experience as the person who designed the sound. Surprisingly, there is little or no evidence as to whether what is designed to be heard is what is actually heard. The study...
