Presentation / Conference Contribution
Vettese, S., Anastasiadou, C., & Vones, K. (2017, April). A study of the relationship between personalised 3D printed 'Souvenirs of Place' and public perception of modern architectural heritage. Presented at EAD12/2017 Design for Next, Rome, Italy

At present, there is a disconnection between academic and public perception of Modern heritage, particularly Brutalist architecture. This research utilises the processes and experiences of making 3D printed ‘souvenirs of place’ to investigate their p...

Potentiality: the ethical foundation of design (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Buwert, P. (2017, April). Potentiality: the ethical foundation of design. Presented at Design for Next. 12th European Academy of Design Conference, Rome, Italy

This paper presents the argument that design is by nature an activity which extends and transforms potentiality and that therefore, because of this, it is always an ethical activity. This foundational ethicality does not guarantee that design will al... Read More about Potentiality: the ethical foundation of design.

Aesthetic Justice. Design for a blind-spot culture (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Buwert, P. (2017, April). Aesthetic Justice. Design for a blind-spot culture. Presented at Design for Next. 12th Eurpoean Academy of Design Conference, Rome, Italy

This paper presents a conception of aesthetic justice which builds on
thoughts of Theodor Adorno and Wolfgang Welsch and attempts to reconcile design’s relationships with both aesthetics and ethics. Where legal justice operates on a principle of hom... Read More about Aesthetic Justice. Design for a blind-spot culture.

How does the Beer Distribution Game help us to understand Humanitarian Supply Chains (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Duddy, D., Weaver, M., & Stantchev, D. (2017, September). How does the Beer Distribution Game help us to understand Humanitarian Supply Chains. Paper presented at Annual Conference of The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport, Logistics Research Network (LRN)

Purpose
This research develops a model similar to that used in Forrester’s ‘Beer Distribution Game’ to understand where uncertainty is generated in humanitarian supply chains. It examines the extent to which the Bullwhip Effect impacts upon a humani... Read More about How does the Beer Distribution Game help us to understand Humanitarian Supply Chains.

The Love That Dare Not Solve Pre-Victorian Crimes (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bishop, D. (2017, September). The Love That Dare Not Solve Pre-Victorian Crimes. Paper presented at Criminal Heritage: Crime, Fiction, and History, Leeds Beckett University, Leeds, UK

In recent decades gay and lesbian detectives have emerged as a growing, overt presence in crime fiction. But queer sleuths remain hard to find in historical mystery fiction, especially novels with pre-Victorian settings. Are market considerations or...

Prescribing for the Oldest Old (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kydd, A., & Fleming, A. (2017, September). Prescribing for the Oldest Old. Presented at 7th Annual conference of Geriatrics, Gerontology and Palliative Nursing, Edinburgh, UK

Given the global increase in people over the age of 85, there is a growing body of literature looking at treating the oldest old. However much of this work is confined to the literature specialising in geriatrics and the more generic health care pap... Read More about Prescribing for the Oldest Old.

Open-ended evolution in cellular automata worlds (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Andras, P. (2017, September). Open-ended evolution in cellular automata worlds. Presented at ECAL 2017, the Fourteenth European Conference on Artificial Life, Lyon, France

Open-ended evolution is a fundamental issue in artificial life research. We consider biological and social systems as a flux of interacting components that transiently participate in interactions with other system components as part of these systems....

The sudden transition from egalitarian groups to hierarchical societies that occurred with the origin of agriculture is one of the most striking features of the evolution of human societies. Hierarchy is reflected by the evolution of an asymmetrical... Read More about Emergence of hierarchy from the evolution of individual influence in an agent-based model.

Impact of selection methods on the diversity of many-objective Pareto set approximations (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

We find evidence that suggests that incentives prese... Read More about CEO compensation, excess reserves and risk-taking of Chinese banks: Do monetary policies have a restraining effect?.

Perceptual effects of adaptation over multiple timescales (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gekas, N., McDermott, K., & Mamassian, P. Perceptual effects of adaptation over multiple timescales. Presented at VSS 2017

It is well known that adaptation to a visual stimulus leads to a negative correlation between the current percept and previous percepts. However, there are diverging views on how stimuli further in the past affect the current percept. We have argued... Read More about Perceptual effects of adaptation over multiple timescales.
