Photocontrolled Binding and Binding-Controlled Photochromism within Anthracene-Modified DNA (2012)
Journal Article
Manchester, J., Bassani, D. M., Duprey, J.-L. H. A., Giordano, L., Vyle, J. S., Zhao, Z.-Y., & Tucker, J. H. R. (2012). Photocontrolled Binding and Binding-Controlled Photochromism within Anthracene-Modified DNA. Journal of the American Chemical Society, 134(26), 10791-10794. https://doi.org/10.1021/ja304205m

Modified DNA strands undergo a reversible light-induced reaction involving the intramolecular photodimerization of two appended anthracene tags. The photodimers exhibit markedly different binding behavior toward a complementary strand that depends on...

its effectiveness. The effectiveness of the m... Read More about The use of electronic voting systems to enhance deep learning..

Adaptive Proactive Inhibitory Control for Embedded Real-Time Applications (2012)
Journal Article
Yang, S., McGinnity, T. M., & Wong-Lin, K. (2012). Adaptive Proactive Inhibitory Control for Embedded Real-Time Applications. Frontiers in Neuroengineering, 5, https://doi.org/10.3389/fneng.2012.00010

Psychologists have studied the inhibitory control of voluntary movement for many years. In particular, the countermanding of an impending action has been extensively studied. In this work, we propose a neural mechanism for adaptive inhibitory control... Read More about Adaptive Proactive Inhibitory Control for Embedded Real-Time Applications.

Quantity versus quality: the role of layout and interaction complexity in thumbnail-based video retrieval interfaces (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hürst, W., & Darzentas, D. (2012, June). Quantity versus quality: the role of layout and interaction complexity in thumbnail-based video retrieval interfaces. Presented at ICMR '12: International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval, Hong Kong

In this paper we present our findings from an experiment designed to test the effectiveness of complex, thumbnail based layouts and the interaction methods required, in video retrieval scenarios for handheld devices such as smartphones. Our evaluatio... Read More about Quantity versus quality: the role of layout and interaction complexity in thumbnail-based video retrieval interfaces.

Introducing Cloud-based virtualised environments and their use in supporting learning and teaching. (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Buchanan, W. J. (2012, June). Introducing Cloud-based virtualised environments and their use in supporting learning and teaching. Paper presented at Enhancing, extending and empowering student learning within online environments

There is a major challenge faced in running distance and blended learning modules, especially in giving students an equivalent learning environment than to face-to-face students. To overcome this problem, a number of modules have been run within 2011... Read More about Introducing Cloud-based virtualised environments and their use in supporting learning and teaching..
