A Novel Design for a Gel-Type DML Transducer Incorporating a Solid Panel Projecting Multiple Independent Sound Sources. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cho, M., Prokofieva, E., Barker, M., & Munoz, J. (2010, October). A Novel Design for a Gel-Type DML Transducer Incorporating a Solid Panel Projecting Multiple Independent Sound Sources. Presented at 40th International Conference: Spatial Audio: Sense the Sound of Space

The gel-type DML transducer (referred to as the gel transducer in this paper) excites a panel to radiate sound waves through the gel surround. The panel breaks into different characteristic modes of vibration as frequency increases. At high frequenci...

Studying early childhood: Part 2 - reading, writing and producing assignments (2010)
Journal Article
Sambell, K. (2010). Studying early childhood: Part 2 - reading, writing and producing assignments. Nursery World, 28, 15-18

When studying early childhood at degree level, it's vital to become fluent in appropriate ways of talking and writing about relevant ideas and concepts. This helps you produce effective assignments during the degree itself but, most importantly, also... Read More about Studying early childhood: Part 2 - reading, writing and producing assignments.

The medium makes the message: Effects of cues on students' lecture notes (2010)
Journal Article
Huxham, M. (2010). The medium makes the message: Effects of cues on students' lecture notes. Active learning in higher education, 11(3), 179-188. https://doi.org/10.1177/1469787410379681

Previous work has shown that students’ notes often fail to record key facts and concepts. The relatively recent widespread adoption of PowerPoint slides and handouts might now help students to record key issues, but only if they can recognize the cue...
