Olaniran (Ed.), Cases on Successful E-Learning Practices in the Developed and Developing World: Methods for the Global Information Economy (42-57). Hershey. https://doi.org/10.4018/978-1-60566-942-7.ch004

This chapter presents and contrasts descriptions of two cases of online affective support provided to support students engaged in higher level learning tasks. The cases are set in different cultures, centre upon different intended learning outcomes,... Read More about Dealing with affective needs in e-learning: Contrasting two cases in two cultures..

Typology of long-term port efficiency Improvement paths: malmquist total factor productivity for world container ports. (2009)
Journal Article
Cheon, S., Dowall, D. E., & Song, D. (2009). Typology of long-term port efficiency Improvement paths: malmquist total factor productivity for world container ports. Journal of Infrastructure Systems, 15, 340-350. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28ASCE%291076-0342%282009%2915%3A4%28340%29

The global seaport sector made huge efforts in relation to port reform and technological development since the 1990s. This study attempts to systematically estimate the impacts of these efforts on world ports’ efficiency changes between 1991 and 2004...

Conditions for speeding behaviour: A comparison of car drivers and powered two wheeled riders. (2009)
Journal Article
Broughton, P. S., Fuller, R., Stradling, S., Gormley, M., Kinnear, N., O'Dolan, C., & Hannigan, B. (2009). Conditions for speeding behaviour: A comparison of car drivers and powered two wheeled riders. Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour, 12, 417-427. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trf.2009.07.001

Against a UK background of decreases in collisions involving car drivers, motorcycle collisions are on the increase. To throw light on this process, this paper explores differences between motorcyclists and car drivers in the conditions for speeding...

Quantifying the Evolution of Soil Fabric Under Different Stress Paths (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Barreto, D., O’Sullivan, C., & Zdravkovic, L. (2009, July). Quantifying the Evolution of Soil Fabric Under Different Stress Paths. Presented at AIP Conference Proceedings

It is well recognized that the macro-scale response of soils is anisotropic in terms of strength, stiffness, permeability, etc. The source of this anisotropy is thought to be an anisotropy of the material itself. This anisotropy can be quantified usi... Read More about Quantifying the Evolution of Soil Fabric Under Different Stress Paths.

Why Fanzines matter. (2009)
Book Chapter
Atton, C. (2009). Why Fanzines matter. In S. Franklin (Ed.), Setting the Standard: A Project for Improving Rangers (4-5). Gersnet

It is easy, perhaps too easy, to dismiss fanzines. Some consider them as the inconsequent ramblings of obsessive’s with too much time on their hands. Others feel that they are vehicles for wannabe journalists who cannot make it in the professional me... Read More about Why Fanzines matter..

Alternative and Citizen Journalism (2009)
Book Chapter
Atton, C. (2009). Alternative and Citizen Journalism. In K. Wahl-Jorgensen, & T. Hanitzsch (Eds.), The Handbook of Journalism Studies (265-278). Routledge

This chapter examines journalism that is produced not by professionals but by those outside mainstream media organizations. Amateur media producers typically have little or no training or professional qualifications as journalists; they write and rep... Read More about Alternative and Citizen Journalism.

Prospects for large-scale solar thermal electricity generation from the LIBYAN desert: technical feasibility. (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Aldali, Y., Henderson, D., & Muneer, T. (2009, July). Prospects for large-scale solar thermal electricity generation from the LIBYAN desert: technical feasibility

The Great Sahara desert covers the entire range of Libyan longitude 11o 44’ to 23o 58’ E and a latitude range of 24o 17’ through to 30o 31’N, thus covering an area of 1,750,000 sq km and 88% of this land is desert. The authors have measured hourly so... Read More about Prospects for large-scale solar thermal electricity generation from the LIBYAN desert: technical feasibility..

Determinants of maritime transport costs – a panel data analysis for Latin American trade (2009)
Journal Article
Wilmsmeier, G., & Martínez-Zarzoso, I. (2010). Determinants of maritime transport costs – a panel data analysis for Latin American trade. Transportation Planning and Technology, 33(1), 105-121. https://doi.org/10.1080/03081060903429447

This paper analyses the determinants of maritime transport costs for intra-Latin American trade over a period of 6 years (1999-2004). The data refer to yearly disaggregated (five-digit level Standard International Classification) containerised mariti...

Investigation of pedestrian accidents analysis at signalised pedestrian crossings in Edinburgh (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Saleh, W., & Alnaqbi, K. (2009). Investigation of pedestrian accidents analysis at signalised pedestrian crossings in Edinburgh. In Proceedings of WASD

Data from STATS19 show that pedestrian accident rates are higher over the pedestrian crossing points than these away from it, or within 50 m of pedestrian crossing facilities. This is contrary to the expectations that accidents should be least over t... Read More about Investigation of pedestrian accidents analysis at signalised pedestrian crossings in Edinburgh.

New approach for designing beam steering uniform antenna arrays using Genetic Algorithms (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Abusitta, M., Abd-Alhameed, R., Zhou, D., See, C., Jones, S., & Excell, P. (2009, November). New approach for designing beam steering uniform antenna arrays using Genetic Algorithms. Presented at 2009 Loughborough Antennas & Propagation Conference (LAPC), Loughborough, UK

A new approach to the design of electronic beam steering in antenna arrays is introduced and analysed. The technique is demonstrated for a uniform antenna array structure. The radiation pattern of the antenna array is formed and the beam steering tun... Read More about New approach for designing beam steering uniform antenna arrays using Genetic Algorithms.
