Journal Article
Willis, A., Gjersoe, N., Havard, C., Kerridge, J., & Kukla, R. (2004). Human movement behaviour in urban spaces: Implications for the design and modelling of effective pedestrian environments. Environment and planning. B, Planning & design, 31(6), 805-828. https://doi.org/10.1068/b3060

Despite a burgeoning research effort directed at the design and modelling of effective urban spaces for pedestrians, remarkably little is known about how pedestrians actually negotiate urban spaces. This paper reports the results of a video-based obs... Read More about Human movement behaviour in urban spaces: Implications for the design and modelling of effective pedestrian environments..

Integrated Decision Points for Interactive Movies (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Tully, G., & Turner, S. (2006, June). Integrated Decision Points for Interactive Movies. Presented at Second International Conference, TIDSE 2004, Darmstadt, Germany

We describe a study which explores alternative means of communicating decision points in an interactive movie. The two variants used novel, non-disruptive cues embedded in the movie itself: a fade to black and white and a zoom effect accompanied by s...

Young People and e-Democracy: Creating a Culture of Participation (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Masters, Z., Masters, Z., Macintosh, A., & Smith, E. (2004, August). Young People and e-Democracy: Creating a Culture of Participation. Presented at Electronic government : third international conference, EGOV 2004, Zaragoza, Spain

Research originally suggested that new technologies, particularly the Internet, provided a useful mechanism for engaging young people - an otherwise largely disenfranchised group. Subsequent to the evaluation of a number of pioneering projects in thi... Read More about Young People and e-Democracy: Creating a Culture of Participation.

Journal Article

Journal Article
Lewis, S., Schreiber, E., Daunt, F., Schenk, G., Wanless, S., & Hamer, K. (2004). Flexible foraging patterns under different time constraints in tropical boobies. Animal Behaviour, 68(6), 1331-1337. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2004.04.007

The foraging behaviour of any animal is intricately linked to ecological constraints. Extrinsic factors, such as daylength, may limit the time available for foraging. Intrinsic factors, such as the coordination of mates at a nest site, may exacerbate... Read More about Flexible foraging patterns under different time constraints in tropical boobies.
