Holistic Needs Assessment in Brain Cancer Patients: A Systematic Review of Available Tools (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Afseth, J., Neubeck, L., Karatzias, T., & Grant, R. (2017, June). Holistic Needs Assessment in Brain Cancer Patients: A Systematic Review of Available Tools. Poster presented at British Neuro Oncology Conference

BACKGROUND: A diagnosis of brain cancer affects nearly 10 000 adults per year in the United Kingdom and has a devastating impact. This is due to the poor prognosis as well as a significant symptom burden, which often includes neurocognitive deficits....

Seamless Cryptographic Key Generation via Off-the-Shelf Telecommunication Components for End-to-End Data Encryption (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Asif, R., & Buchanan, W. J. (2017, June). Seamless Cryptographic Key Generation via Off-the-Shelf Telecommunication Components for End-to-End Data Encryption. Presented at 10th IEEE International Conference on Internet of Things (iThings‐2017), Exeter, UK

Quantum key distribution (QKD) systems have already attained much attention for providing end-to-end data encryption to the subscribers. However, it is very important that the QKD infrastructure is compatible with the already existing telecommunicati...

Salute to the sun: an exploration of UK yoga tourist profiles (2017)
Journal Article
Ali-Knight, J., & Ensor, J. (2017). Salute to the sun: an exploration of UK yoga tourist profiles. Tourism Recreation Research, 42(4), 484-497. https://doi.org/10.1080/02508281.2017.1327186

This paper focuses on exploring yoga tourism as an under researched area where little has been written to date (Ali-Knight, 2009; Lehto, Brown, Chen & Morrison, 2006). Yoga tourism is an emergent niche tourism market (Novelli, 2005) that can be viewe... Read More about Salute to the sun: an exploration of UK yoga tourist profiles.

Information Diffusion in Multi-Agent Communities (2017)

Multiple traumatic experiences, post-traumatic stress disorder and offending behaviour in female prisoners (2017)
Journal Article
Mirza, K., Conway, L., Karatzias, T., Power, K., Woolston, C., Apurva, P., Begley, A., Quinn, C., Jowett, S., Howard, R., & Purdie, A. (2018). Multiple traumatic experiences, post-traumatic stress disorder and offending behaviour in female prisoners. Criminal Behaviour and Mental Health, 28(1), 72-84. https://doi.org/10.1002/cbm.2043

Background Although Q4 it is well established that prisoners commonly have histories of childhood trauma, little is known about mediators between exposure to trauma and criminal behaviour. Hypotheses We hypothesised that the experience of trauma in a... Read More about Multiple traumatic experiences, post-traumatic stress disorder and offending behaviour in female prisoners.

Statistical normalisation of phase-based feature representation for robust speech recognition (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Loweimi, E., Barker, J., & Hain, T. (2017, March). Statistical normalisation of phase-based feature representation for robust speech recognition. Presented at 2017 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP), New Orleans, LA

In earlier work we have proposed a source-filter decomposition of speech through phase-based processing. The decomposition leads to novel speech features that are extracted from the filter component of the phase spectrum. This paper analyses this spe...

Transculturing through English as a Lingua Franca (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Victoria, M. (2017, June). Transculturing through English as a Lingua Franca. Paper presented at Interrogating the 'Third Space': Negotiating meaning and performing 'culture', Edinburgh Napier University, Edinburgh

The notion of third space has been often associated with sites of struggle, ambivalence and instability (Bhaba, 1994), as well as marginality and resistance (hooks, 1990). The findings of this data-driven study point to a third space more closely res... Read More about Transculturing through English as a Lingua Franca.
