Improved prediction of defibrillation success for out-of-hospital VF cardiac arrest using wavelet transform methods (2004)
Journal Article
Watson, J. N., Uchaipichata, N., Addison, P., Clegg, G. R., Robertson, C. E., Eftestol, T., & Steen, P. A. (2004). Improved prediction of defibrillation success for out-of-hospital VF cardiac arrest using wavelet transform methods. Resuscitation, 63(3), 2

We report an improved method for the estimation of shock outcome prediction based on novel wavelet transform-based time-frequency methods. Wavelet-based peak frequency, energy, mean frequency, spectral flatness and a new entropy measure were studied...

Young People and e-Democracy: Creating a Culture of Participation (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Masters, Z., Masters, Z., Macintosh, A., & Smith, E. (2004). Young People and e-Democracy: Creating a Culture of Participation. In R. Traunmuller (Ed.), Lecture Notes in Computer Science; Electronic Government (15-22). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-30

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.

Integrated Decision Points for Interactive Movies (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Tully, G., & Turner, S. (2004). Integrated Decision Points for Interactive Movies. In S. Göbel, U. Spierling, A. Hoffmann, I. Iurgel, O. Schneider, J. Dechau, & A. Feix (Eds.), Technologies for Interactive Digital Storytelling and Entertainment (61-67).

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...
