Using cursor measures to determine appropriate computer input assistance for motion-impaired users (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Clarkson, P., Hwang, F., Keates, S., Langdon, P., & Clarkson, P. J. (2002, October). Using cursor measures to determine appropriate computer input assistance for motion-impaired users. Presented at Conference Proceedings. Second Joint EMBS-BMES Conference 2002 24th Annual International Conference of the Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual Fall Meeting of the Biomedical Engineering Society, Houston, TX, USA

People with motion-impairments can often have difficulty with accurate control of standard pointing devices for computer input. The nature of the difficulties may vary, so to be most effective, methods of assisting cursor control must be suited to ea...

Labour market deregulation, 'flexibility' and innovation (2003)
Journal Article
Michie, J., & Sheehan, M. (2003). Labour market deregulation, 'flexibility' and innovation. Cambridge Journal of Economics, 27(1), 123-143. https://doi.org/10.1093/cje/27.1.123

Labour ‘flexibility’ is often portrayed as important to competitive success. Using evidence from an original survey of UK firms, this paper investigates the relationships between firms' use of, on the one hand, various flexible work practices, human...

Inclusive design in industry: motivations and barriers (2003)
Journal Article
Dong, H., Keates, S., & Clarkson, J. (2003). Inclusive design in industry: motivations and barriers. ACM SIGCAPH Computers and the Physically Handicapped, 9-10. https://doi.org/10.1145/976261.976264

The aim of this research is to identify the motivations for, and barriers obstructing, the adoption of inclusive design practices within industry. The working processes of a number of design consultancies have been audited and large-scale industry su... Read More about Inclusive design in industry: motivations and barriers.

Lysyl Oxidase Gene Expression and Enzyme Activity in the Rat Ovary: Regulation by Follicle-Stimulating Hormone, Androgen, and Transforming Growth Factor-β Superfamily Members in Vitro (2003)
Journal Article
Harlow, C. R., Rae, M., Davidson, L., Trackman, P. C., & Hillier, S. G. (2003). Lysyl Oxidase Gene Expression and Enzyme Activity in the Rat Ovary: Regulation by Follicle-Stimulating Hormone, Androgen, and Transforming Growth Factor-β Superfamily Members in Vitro. Endocrinology, 144(1), 154-162. https://doi.org/10.1210/en.2002-220652

Lysyl oxidase (LOX) catalyzes the final enzymatic reaction required for cross-linking of collagen and elastin fibers and therefore has a crucial role in regulating the formation and maintenance of extracellular matrix in the ovary. LOX mRNA is abunda...

Re-creating the Botanics: towards a sense of place in virtual environments (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Turner, S., Turner, P., Carroll, F., O'Neill, S., Benyon, D., McCall, R., & Smyth, M. (2003, January). Re-creating the Botanics: towards a sense of place in virtual environments. Paper presented at Benogo

The EC funded project BENOGO seeks to re-create real places using photo-realistic
immersive virtual reality technology and in so doing investigates the nature of
presence and sense of place in such environments. We discuss the first stages in our... Read More about Re-creating the Botanics: towards a sense of place in virtual environments.

Two phenomenological studies of place. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Turner, P., & Turner, S. (2003, January). Two phenomenological studies of place. Paper presented at BCS- HCI Conference 2003

We introduce our initial investigations into the phenomenology of place
as part of the BENOGO project. BENOGO is concerned with giving
people the experience of ‘being there without going there’. Employing a
state-of-the-art mixture of photorealist... Read More about Two phenomenological studies of place..

Sodium bicarbonate ingestion does not alter the slow component of oxygen uptake kinetics in professional cyclists (2003)
Journal Article
Santalla, A., Pérez, M., Montilla, M., Vicente, L., Davison, R., Earnest, C., & Lucía, A. (2003). Sodium bicarbonate ingestion does not alter the slow component of oxygen uptake kinetics in professional cyclists. Journal of Sports Sciences, 21(1), 39-47. https://doi.org/10.1080/0264041031000070949

We examined the effects of pre-exercise sodium bicarbonate (NaHC[O.sub.3]) ingestion on the slow component of oxygen uptake (V[O.sub.2]) kinetics in seven professional road cyclists during intense exercise. One hour after ingesting either a placebo o... Read More about Sodium bicarbonate ingestion does not alter the slow component of oxygen uptake kinetics in professional cyclists.

Formalizing botanical taxonomies. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Priss, U. (2003, July). Formalizing botanical taxonomies. Presented at Conceptual Structures for Knowledge Creation and Communication. Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Conceptual Structures

Because botanical taxonomies are prototypical classifications it would seem that it should be easy to formalize them as concept lattices or type hierarchies. On closer inspection, however, one discovers that such a formalization is quite challenging... Read More about Formalizing botanical taxonomies..

The influence of particle composition and size on in vitro and in vivo biological models. (2003)
Report
Lightbody, J., Hutchison, G. R., Donaldson, K., & Stone, V. (2003). The influence of particle composition and size on in vitro and in vivo biological models

Particulate air pollution has been consistently linked with an increase in morbidity and mortality due to respiratory complications and cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to investigate which components of PM10 are important in driving...

Faster more reliable freight movements make up a substantial proportion of the economic benefits generated
by road and transport investment. However techniques for assessing and valuing the freight component of
this economic benefit have been rathe... Read More about Economic evaluation of road investment proposals: valuing travel time savings for freight..
