Beyond the state: the future of international criminal law.
Report
Moran, C. F. (2014). Beyond the state: the future of international criminal law. Edinburgh: International Crimes Database

This work examines the development of international criminal law, and by default the
International Criminal Court, towards the protection of the individual. The link to State planning,
policy or officialdom appears to be waning and the discourse ha... Read More about Beyond the state: the future of international criminal law..

The Sustainable And Aesthetic Possibilities Of 3D Printing Onto Textile As An Alternative To Traditional Surface Decoration Utilising Lyocell
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Burn, K., Vettese, S., & Shackleton, J. (2016, November). The Sustainable And Aesthetic Possibilities Of 3D Printing Onto Textile As An Alternative To Traditional Surface Decoration Utilising Lyocell. Paper presented at Sustainable Innovation 2016 : 'Circular Economy' Innovation & Design

Embellishment, in a fashion and textile context, can be considered an extraneous decorative process that has a significant detrimental impact on the environment. However, aesthetic and cultural theories, in addition to consumer appeal, show that it i...

How Can Pre-Arrival Shared Reading Build a University Community?
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Baverstock, A., Morris, W., Ennis, L., & Moulton, J. (2017, March). How Can Pre-Arrival Shared Reading Build a University Community?. Presented at London International Book Fair Insights Seminar Series

Research tells us that involvement in reading for pleasure has positive outcomes. Similarly, research tells us that the earlier new students feel welcome in their university the more likely they are to stay and complete their degree. This presentatio...

Simulation Conceptual Modelling for SCM Applications: Research Issues and Existing Practice
Preprint / Working Paper
Weaver, M. (2011). Simulation Conceptual Modelling for SCM Applications: Research Issues and Existing Practice

Evaluating supply chain problems is important yet complex; with vast amount of research and practice using a simulation based approach. However, the least understood aspect of a simulation study is the critical step of ‘conceptual modelling’. This pa...

Venturing in the Dark: Technology Transfer in Regenerative Medicine
Preprint / Working Paper
Johnson, D., & Bock, A. (2014). Venturing in the Dark: Technology Transfer in Regenerative Medicine. Edinburgh, Scotland

While most major research universities promote entrepreneurial approaches, few provide the resources, training, or career support to sustain a productive start-up environment and drive regional economic development.

These challenges are especially... Read More about Venturing in the Dark: Technology Transfer in Regenerative Medicine.

Building Robust Entrepreneurial Ecosystems around Universities.
Preprint / Working Paper
Johnson, D., & Bock, A. (2015). Building Robust Entrepreneurial Ecosystems around Universities. Edinburgh, Scotland

Universities can drive entrepreneurial ecosystems, especially in high-value technology sectors. Nowhere is this more evident than in regenerative medicine (regenmed), which is centred on academic stem cell research.

Over the past three years, we’... Read More about Building Robust Entrepreneurial Ecosystems around Universities..

Inattentional Blindness and road safety: the potential role of intelligent road studs in reducing accidents
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Llewellyn, R., & Ladyman, S. (2016). Inattentional Blindness and road safety: the potential role of intelligent road studs in reducing accidents. In Proceedings of 11th ITS European Congress

In-vehicle distraction is often the subject of debate in relation to road safety. Distractions outside of the vehicle, however, are often overlooked. Both situations result in cognitive capture, a form of 'Inattentional Blindness'. This paper investi...
