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.

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...

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, November). Perception and haptics: towards more accessible computers for motion-impaired users. Presented at PUI'01 Workshop on Perceptive User Interfaces, Orlando, FL, USA

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...

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, April). Investigating the Cursor Movement Parameters for Haptic Assistance of Motion-impaired Users. Presented at ICORR '2001 7th International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics, Evry, France

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...

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.

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. (2000, August). New techniques in sol–gel characterisation – mechanical measurements and fractal characteristics. Presented at 8th International Conference on Non-Crystalline Materials, Aberystwyth, UK

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...

Towards an employability policy agenda for remote rural labour markets (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lindsay, C., McCracken, M. G., & McQuaid, R. W. (2001). Towards an employability policy agenda for remote rural labour markets.

This paper presents an analysis of the barriers to work faced by unemployed people in remote rural labour markets, and compares the experiences of the ‘long-term unemployed’ and more recent job seekers in two such areas in Northern Scotland (namely t...
