A pattern-based framework for database reusability (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wang, B., Liu, X., & Kerridge, J. (2002). A pattern-based framework for database reusability. In Software Engineering Research and Practices International Conference Las Vegas 2002 Proceedings : SERP 2002 (572-578)

The development of database application systems will benefit from high reusability because similar design circumstances recur frequently in database developments. This paper presents a framework to cope with design reuse in database environments. The... Read More about A pattern-based framework for database reusability.

An Affordance-based Framework for CVE Evaluation (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Turner, P., & Turner, S. (2002). An Affordance-based Framework for CVE Evaluation. In X. Faulkner, J. Finlay, & F. Détienne (Eds.), People and Computers XVI - Memorable Yet Invisible (89-103). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4471-0105-5_6

We argue that a conceptual framework is required to support the practical evaluation of collaborative virtual environments. We propose such a framework based on an extended, three level concept of affordance. The application of the framework is il... Read More about An Affordance-based Framework for CVE Evaluation.

Contextual grounding in CVE design. (2002)
Journal Article
Turner, P., & Turner, S. (2002). Contextual grounding in CVE design. Presence: Teleoperators and Virtual Environments, 14, 30-38

A proper respect for eventual context of use is crucially important for the success of virtual environments destined for real-world organisations, yet is frequently absent from accounts of the design of such applications. We describe how contextual... Read More about Contextual grounding in CVE design..

Evaluation of recently developed techniques for estimating diet composition in browsing herbivores. (2002)
Journal Article
Smith, D., Mpendu, B. F., Lamani, M. B., Dzeba, L., & Kelly, E. (2001). Evaluation of recently developed techniques for estimating diet composition in browsing herbivores. Agrippa,

Accuracy of estimates of botanical composition of herbivore diet may be improved through the use of recently developed techniques (alkane analysis, remote controlled oesophageal fistula valve). Three Boer goats allowed free choice of five forage spec... Read More about Evaluation of recently developed techniques for estimating diet composition in browsing herbivores..

The problems associated with defining interoperable protocols for heterogenous information systems has been the subject of researchers for many years. While numerous solutions have been offered, the problem remains unsolved, mainly due to the distinc... Read More about Interoperable Services for Federations of Database System.

Age and the understanding of emotions: neuropsychological and sociological perspectives. (2002)
Journal Article
Phillips, L. H., MacLean, R. D. J., & Allen, R. (2002). Age and the understanding of emotions: neuropsychological and sociological perspectives. Journals of Gerontology, Series B, 57B, 526-530. https://doi.org/10.1093/geronb/57.6.P526

Sociocognitive approaches suggest that the ability to understand emotions should be well maintained in adult aging. However, neuropsychological evidence suggests potential impairments in processing emotions in older adults. In the current study, 30 y...

Penis extrusions by humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) on the Hawaiian winter grounds. (2002)
