Applying user testing data to UEM performance metrics. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Chattratichart, J., & Brodie, J. (2004). Applying user testing data to UEM performance metrics. In CHI EA '04 CHI '04 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 1119-1122. doi:10.1145/985921.986003

The lack of standard assessment criteria for reliably comparing usability evaluation methods (UEMs) is an important gap in HCI knowledge. Recently, metrics for assessing thoroughness, validity, and effectiveness of UEMs, based on user data, have been... Read More about Applying user testing data to UEM performance metrics..

The emerging role of E2F-1 in the DNA damage response and checkpoint control. (2004)
Journal Article
Stevens, C., & La Thangue, N. B. (2004). The emerging role of E2F-1 in the DNA damage response and checkpoint control. DNA Repair, 3(8-9), 1071-1079. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dnarep.2004.03.034

Genotoxic stress triggers a myriad of cellular responses including cell cycle arrest, stimulation of {DNA} repair and apoptosis. A central role for the E2F-1 transcription factor in the {DNA} damage response pathway is gaining support. E2F-1 is phosp...

Quasi-static FDTD scheme for electrically-small regions in free space and lossless or lossy penetrable media (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
See, C. H., Abd-Alhameed, R., Mutardi, M., Excell, P. S., & Vaul, J. (2004). Quasi-static FDTD scheme for electrically-small regions in free space and lossless or lossy penetrable media. . https://doi.org/10.1049/cp%3A20040488

The standard finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method requires extremely small time-step sizes when modelling electrically-small regions: the method can thus become impractical due to the unaffordable computation times required. Implementation of... Read More about Quasi-static FDTD scheme for electrically-small regions in free space and lossless or lossy penetrable media.

Design for participation: providing access to e-information for older adults (2004)
Journal Article
Keates, S., Clarkson, P. J., & Robinson, P. (2004). Design for participation: providing access to e-information for older adults. Universal Access in the Information Society, 3(2), 149-163. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10209-004-0093-y

Electronic information sources are becoming increasingly more prolific and offer a huge potential for those able to use them. However, for those unable to access those services, there is the risk of being further disadvantaged by continued exclusion...

Leaching from solid waste incineration ashes used in cement-treated base layers for pavements (2004)
Journal Article
Cai, Z., Bager, D. H., & Christensen, T. (2004). Leaching from solid waste incineration ashes used in cement-treated base layers for pavements. Waste Management, 24(6), 603-612. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.wasman.2004.01.010

Waste incineration bottom ash and treated flue gas cleaning products mixed with 2.5% of cement (50 kg/m 3) were tested in the laboratory in terms of compressive strength and tank leaching tests over a 64-day period. Although the material displayed lo... Read More about Leaching from solid waste incineration ashes used in cement-treated base layers for pavements.

Retail franchising: An intellectual capital perspective (2004)
Journal Article
Watson, A., Stanworth, J., Healeas, S., Purdy, D., & Stanworth, C. (2005). Retail franchising: An intellectual capital perspective. Journal of Retailing and Consumer Services, 12(1), 25-34. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jretconser.2004.02.001

Retailers appear to have found franchising to be a valuable means by which to develop their businesses, both domestically and abroad. In the UK franchising accounts for approximately one-third of all retail sales (Franchise Survey, 2003). This paper... Read More about Retail franchising: An intellectual capital perspective.

From poverty to social justice: does the terminology make a difference to the practice? (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kelly, L. A., Juleff, L., McQuaid, R. W., & Adams, J. (2004). From poverty to social justice: does the terminology make a difference to the practice?.

Over the last ten years, the UK has seen a significant shift in terms of the way the poorer sections of society are classified. The Anglo-Saxon tradition of using the word “poverty” to describe those who are economically disadvantaged has given way...

The transmutation of the ‘Old’ with the ‘New’ in the Modernist vision of Edgard Varèse (2004)
Journal Article
Davismoon, S. (2004). The transmutation of the ‘Old’ with the ‘New’ in the Modernist vision of Edgard Varèse. Contemporary Music Review, 23(1), (45-58). doi:10.1080/0749446042000204527. ISSN 0749-4467

In this paper, certain aspects of Varèse's life and work are discussed that have at times, I feel, been overemphasised, distorted, or even omitted, in order to lend greater weight to the depiction of him as a non-European (non-'Old World', non-tradit...

It has been reported that excretory–secretory (ES) material from the parasitic nematode Nippostrongylus brasiliensis has potential modulatory effects on the host's immune system. We observed that intratracheal instillation of ES from the L3 stage of... Read More about Inhibition of neutrophil recruitment by ES of Nippostrongylus brasiliensis.
