The Sierpinski brain (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
András, P. (2001). The Sierpinski brain. In IJCNN'01. International Joint Conference on Neural Networks Proceedings (654-659). https://doi.org/10.1109/IJCNN.2001.939101

The paper presents a new approach to the interpretation of chaotic neural activity. It is suggested that such activity forms neural objects represented as spatio-temporal firing patterns and the neural computations are performed through the interacti... Read More about The Sierpinski brain.

Investigating the Cursor Movement Parameters for Haptic Assistance of Motion-impaired Users (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Langdon, P., Hwang, F., Keates, S., Clarkson, P. J., & Robinson, P. (2001). Investigating the Cursor Movement Parameters for Haptic Assistance of Motion-impaired Users. In M. Mokhtari (Ed.), Integration of Assistive Technology in the Information Age: ICOR

Following a pilot study that suggested that force-feedback gravity wells could, under certain conditions, lead to 20- 50% improvements in time to target in a selection task, a series of experiments further investigated the potential for enhancement o...

Perception and haptics: towards more accessible computers for motion-impaired users (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hwang, F., Keates, S., Langdon, P., Clarkson, P. J., & Robinson, P. (2001). Perception and haptics: towards more accessible computers for motion-impaired users. In Proceedings of the 2001 workshop on Perceptive user interface. https://doi.org/10.1145/971

For people with motion impairments, access to and independent control of a computer can be essential. Symptoms such as tremor and spasm, however, can make the typical keyboard and mouse arrangement for computer interaction difficult or even impossibl...

Combining utility, usability and accessibility methods for universal access (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Keates, S., & Clarkson, P. J. (2001). Combining utility, usability and accessibility methods for universal access. In Conference Proceedings on CHI 2001: Anyone. Anywhere

It is known that many products are not accessible to large sections of the population. Designers instinctively focus on providing the necessary utility for someone with their physical and skill capabilities. They are either unaware of the needs of us...

Haptic assistance to improve computer access for motion-impaired users (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hwang, F., Langdon, P., Keates, S., & Clarkson, J. (2001). Haptic assistance to improve computer access for motion-impaired users. In Conference Proceedings of Eurohaptics 2001

This paper describes a pilot experiment which examines the effectiveness of using force-feedback technology to assist motion-impaired computer users in target selection tasks. Two measures to evaluate the effectiveness of force feedback assistance ar... Read More about Haptic assistance to improve computer access for motion-impaired users.

An emerging form of freight modelling. (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Neffendorf, H., Wigan, M., Donnelly, R., Williams, I., & Collop, M. (2001). An emerging form of freight modelling.

Among transport planning models, freight transport has long been the Cinderella. Despite the critical importance of freight movement and commercial vehicle traffic, the behavioural influences are poorly understood. The typical approach, almost an aft...

New techniques in sol–gel characterisation – mechanical measurements and fractal characteristics (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Williams, P., Williams, R. L., Jones, R., Al-Hussany, A., & Ravji, S. (2001). New techniques in sol–gel characterisation – mechanical measurements and fractal characteristics. Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids, 293-295, 731-745. https://doi.org/10.101

We report theoretical and experimental work which demonstrates how the viscoelastic dispersion of shear waves may be exploited in studies of the rheological properties of systems such as `critical-gels' – systems at the gel point. At the gel point a... Read More about New techniques in sol–gel characterisation – mechanical measurements and fractal characteristics.

Strategic and tactical options for manageing the quality and value of eucalypt plantation resources. (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Turner, P. (2001). Strategic and tactical options for manageing the quality and value of eucalypt plantation resources.

The paper outlines options for managing the quality and value of eucalypt plantation resources. It begins with the hypothesis that variation is the largest single issue with regard to wood quality and that the extent of variation creates both the big...
