Analysis of Stationary and Dynamic Factors Affecting Highway Accident Occurrence (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fountas, G., Sarwar, M. T., Anastasopoulos, P., Blatt, A., & Majka, K. (2017, January). Analysis of Stationary and Dynamic Factors Affecting Highway Accident Occurrence. Presented at Transportation Research Board 96th Annual Meeting, Washington DC, United States

Traditional accident analysis typically explores non-time-varying (stationary) factors that affect accident occurrence on roadway segments. However, the impact of time-varying (dynamic) factors is not thoroughly investigated. This paper seeks to simu...

Memory and Identity: Filmmakers and ‘natives’ collusion towards constructed identity (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Maclean, D. (2017, January). Memory and Identity: Filmmakers and ‘natives’ collusion towards constructed identity. Paper presented at Power and Identity: A cross disciplinary conference, University of Tokyo, Japan

This paper examines the interplay between filmmakers and Scottish Highland communities in constructing an idealised identity that frames subjects within their landscape. It will also consider the appropriation of oral memories as visual texts, and t... Read More about Memory and Identity: Filmmakers and ‘natives’ collusion towards constructed identity.

Travel Plans for New Developments: A Global Review (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
De Gruyter, C., Rose, G., Currie, G., & Rye, T. (2017, January). Travel Plans for New Developments: A Global Review. Presented at Transportation Research Board Annual Meeting

Travel plans, also known as Transportation Demand Management (TDM) plans, can be required for new infill and greenfield developments through the land use planning and approvals process. They aim to manage car use through delivering a package of trans... Read More about Travel Plans for New Developments: A Global Review.

A pilot study: Evaluation of sensor system design for optical fibre humidity sensors subjected to aggressive air sewer environment (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Alwis, L. S. M., Bustamante, H., Bremer, K., Roth, B., Sun, T., & Grattan, K. T. V. (2016, October). A pilot study: Evaluation of sensor system design for optical fibre humidity sensors subjected to aggressive air sewer environment. Presented at 2016 IEEE SENSORS

Research has identified that humidity plays a fundamental role on the conversion of hydrogen sulphide into sulphuric acid during corrosion of concrete in gravity sewers and that potentially minor reductions in humidity can reduce corrosion rates. The... Read More about A pilot study: Evaluation of sensor system design for optical fibre humidity sensors subjected to aggressive air sewer environment.

Faculty perceptions on publishing research (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pennington, D. R., Swanson, A., Akwaowo, E., & Zobisch, P. (2016, September). Faculty perceptions on publishing research. Presented at 19th International Conference on Interactive Collaborative Learning, Belfast

Today’s researchers have not only the traditional publications, but the open access publishing method whereby research papers can be published via the Internet as well as print publications. Researchers must carefully scrutinize the open access publi... Read More about Faculty perceptions on publishing research.

Comparative study on equine and ovine gluteus medius muscle activity pattern during treadmill trot (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zsoldos, R., Voegele, A., Valentin, S., Weber, A., & Licka, T. (2017, January). Comparative study on equine and ovine gluteus medius muscle activity pattern during treadmill trot. Poster presented at Annual Meeting of the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology 2017 (SICB Annual Meeting 2017), New Orleans, United States

From a dynamic perspective, terrestrial mammals of very different sizes move in a similar way as they have very similar Froude numbers, even though the dynamic properties of the tissues such as muscle do not change with the different sizes. In the pr... Read More about Comparative study on equine and ovine gluteus medius muscle activity pattern during treadmill trot.

Use of ubiquitous real-time passenger information. (2017)

The analysis and presentation of patents to support engineering design (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Vasantha, G., Corney, J., Maclachlan, R., & Wodehouse, A. (2016, June). The analysis and presentation of patents to support engineering design. Presented at 7th International Conference on Design Computing and Cognition, Evanston (Chicago), United States

This paper explores the role of patents in engineering design, and how the extraction and presentation of patent data could be improved for designers. We propose the use of crowdsourcing as a means to post tasks online for a crowd of people to partic... Read More about The analysis and presentation of patents to support engineering design.

An exploration of the sustainable and aesthetic possibilities of 3D printing onto textiles as an alternative to traditional surface decoration (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Burn, K., Vettese, S., & Shackleton, J. (2016, November). An exploration of the sustainable and aesthetic possibilities of 3D printing onto textiles as an alternative to traditional surface decoration. Presented at Circular Transitions, London, UK

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...

An investigation of environmental influence on the benefits of adaptation mechanisms in evolutionary swarm robotics (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Steyven, A., Hart, E., & Paechter, B. (2017, July). An investigation of environmental influence on the benefits of adaptation mechanisms in evolutionary swarm robotics. Presented at Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference - GECCO '17

A robotic swarm that is required to operate for long periods in a potentially unknown environment can use both evolution and individual learning methods in order to adapt. However, the role played by the environment in influencing the effectiveness o...
