Problems of Perceiving Gloss on Complex Surfaces (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Methven, T. S., & Chantler, M. J. (2012, April). Problems of Perceiving Gloss on Complex Surfaces. Presented at 3rd International Conference on Appearance, Edinburgh, Scotland

Over the past 20 years, there have been many studies looking at
how highlight disparity affects an observer's perception of
glossiness. Most of these studies have used relatively smooth
surfaces, and simple lighting models.... Read More about Problems of Perceiving Gloss on Complex Surfaces.

Pragmatic problem with paradigms. (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Snowden, A. (2012, April). Pragmatic problem with paradigms. Paper presented at RCN Annual International Nursing Research Conference

There is increasing recognition that the concept of
research paradigms is flawed. Despite this, these
concepts continue to drive research hierarchies.
Unless research practices actively reject paradigmatic
dogma, this situation will persist. This... Read More about Pragmatic problem with paradigms..

Constructivist grounded theory of distress management in cancer survivors. (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Snowden, A. (2012, April). Constructivist grounded theory of distress management in cancer survivors. Paper presented at 2012 International Nursing Research Conference

Background: The distress thermometer is a valid
measure of distress in cancer. However, there is
less evidence as to what this may mean for the
patient experience of distress (Snowden et al.,
2011). This paper presents a grounded theory of
the p... Read More about Constructivist grounded theory of distress management in cancer survivors..

Sensor design for cancer tissue diagnostics (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
La Spada, L., Bilotti, F., & Vegni, L. (2012, April). Sensor design for cancer tissue diagnostics. Paper presented at SPIE Photonics Europe, Brussels, Belgium

In this paper, the design of a metamaterial-based sensor, operating in the mid-infrared frequency range, is proposed. The sensor consists of a planar array of complementary circular inclusions. The resonant frequencies of the sensor are designed to c... Read More about Sensor design for cancer tissue diagnostics.

“The Ladybird,” Disenchantment and the First World War (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Frayn, A. (2012, April). “The Ladybird,” Disenchantment and the First World War. Paper presented at D.H. Lawrence, his Contemporaries, and the Great War, Arras, France

This paper sees D.H. Lawrence’s The Ladybird (1923) as part of a developing discourse of disenchantment which followed the First World War. Literary critics and historians tend to see disenchantment, or disillusionment, as a response to unspecified... Read More about “The Ladybird,” Disenchantment and the First World War.

A silicone host for Lumogen dyes (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hardy, D. A., Kerrouche, A., Roaf, S. C., & Richards., B. S. (2012, April). A silicone host for Lumogen dyes. Presented at 8th Photovoltaic Science, Applications and Technology Conference (PVSAT-8), Northumbria University, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

Altering the encapsulant colour in photovoltaic (PV) modules is a straightforward way of achieving greater colour range whilst minimising additional cost in PV systems. Lumogen fluorescent, organic dyes offer a way of adding colour to the encapsulant... Read More about A silicone host for Lumogen dyes.

Caenorhabditis elegans as a Model for the Assessment of Nanomaterial Toxicity (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Nicol, L., Malone, E., & Proudfoot, L. (2012, April). Caenorhabditis elegans as a Model for the Assessment of Nanomaterial Toxicity. Poster presented at British Society for Parasitology Conference, 50th Anniversary, Glasgow

Nanomaterials, having at least one dimension less than 100nm, have unique physico-chemical properties due to their small size, large surface area and surface reactivity. Manufactured nanomaterials have enormous potential in industrial, pharmaceutical... Read More about Caenorhabditis elegans as a Model for the Assessment of Nanomaterial Toxicity.

A novel RFID tag antenna mountable on metallic objects (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Alkhambashi, M., Hussaini, A., Abd-Alhameed, R., See, C., Noras, J., Child, M., & Rodriguez, J. (2012, March). A novel RFID tag antenna mountable on metallic objects. Presented at 2012 6th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP), Prague, Czech Republic

This paper investigates the design of UHF RFID tagging antennas mounted on, or in close proximity, with a conducting surface. Detailed simulation and analysis of the tag antenna was carried out for 900 MHz operation. The antenna dimensions were fixed...
