Wavelet transform reassignment and the use of low-oscillation complex wavelets (2006)
Journal Article
Addison, P., Morvidone, M., Watson, J. N., & Clifton, D. (2006). Wavelet transform reassignment and the use of low-oscillation complex wavelets. Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing, 20(6), 1429-1443. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ymssp.2005.03.002

In this paper, we explore the use of new time-frequency reassignment tools for the enhancement of prominent features in the time-frequency plane of the wavelet transform. The reassignment method allows for the localisation of time-frequency and time-... Read More about Wavelet transform reassignment and the use of low-oscillation complex wavelets.

Pragmatic research issues confronting HCI practitioners when designing for universal access (2006)
Journal Article
Keates, S. (2006). Pragmatic research issues confronting HCI practitioners when designing for universal access. Universal Access in the Information Society, 5(3), 269-278. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10209-006-0050-z

Many HCI products exclude potential users unnecessarily. Such exclusion often arises because of a mismatch between designers? perceptions of the wants and needs of the end-user and their actual wants and needs. Sometimes the mismatch originates from...

Complementary modes of impulse generation for flow past a three-dimensional obstacle. (2006)
Journal Article
Summers, D. M. (2007). Complementary modes of impulse generation for flow past a three-dimensional obstacle. Theoretical and Computational Fluid Dynamics, 21(1), 15-38. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00162-006-0023-0

A Lagrangian model for viscous incompressible flow past a stationary solid obstacle is developed in terms of the creation over successive instants of time of fluid impulse at the obstacle’s bounding surface. Upon creation this compactly supported vec... Read More about Complementary modes of impulse generation for flow past a three-dimensional obstacle..

Modeling and control of hybrid machine systems — a five-bar mechanism case (2006)

The changing face of HRM: in search of balance (2006)
Journal Article
Francis, H., & Keegan, A. (2006). The changing face of HRM: in search of balance. Human Resource Management Journal, 16(3), 231-249. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1748-8583.2006.00016.x

Current models of HRM suggest that expectations about HR roles are changing as organisations are striving to make the HR function leaner and more `strategic'. In our article we explore the changing roles of HRM as they are perceived by different stak... Read More about The changing face of HRM: in search of balance.

Recounting the scores: an analysis of the QAA subject review grades 1995-2001 (2006)

In this paper the grades awarded in the subject level review process that ran in England between 1995 and 2001 are examined. These grades have subsequently been used to sustain most published league tables and are often cited in debates about institu...
