A framework for minimising design exclusion (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Clarkson, P. J., & Keates, S. (2003, March). A framework for minimising design exclusion. Presented at International Conference on Inclusive Design and Communications (INCLUDE 2003), London, UK

It is known that many products are not accessible to large sections of the population since designers instinctively focus on providing the necessary utility for someone matching their own physical and skill capabilities (Cooper, 1999). They are eithe... Read More about A framework for minimising design exclusion.

User capabilities and product demands (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Clarkson, J., & Keates, S. (2003, March). User capabilities and product demands. Presented at International Conference on Inclusive Design and Communications (INCLUDE 2003), London, UK

Currently, 1000 million of the world population have a noticeable degree of functional impairment. It is well established that impairments such as hearing, vision and reduced motor capability are of a degenerative nature and associated with increasin...

Supporting the adoption of inclusive design practices (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Keates, S., & Clarkson, J. (2003, March). Supporting the adoption of inclusive design practices. Presented at International Conference on Inclusive Design and Communications (INCLUDE 2003), London, UK

It is known that many people are being excluded unnecessarily from using products and services and that this exclusion often arises because the designers have not taken the end-users into account fully. There are clear knowledge gaps that need to be... Read More about Supporting the adoption of inclusive design practices.

Identifying design exclusion: a review of assessment methods (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cardoso, C., Keates, S., & Clarkson, J. (2003, March). Identifying design exclusion: a review of assessment methods. Presented at International conference on Inclusive Design and Communications (INCLUDE 2003), London, UK

It is often the case that informal and intuitive approaches to usability evaluation produce designs that overlook the needs, wants and aspirations of a wide range of consumers across diverse populations. The result is people of all ages being disadva... Read More about Identifying design exclusion: a review of assessment methods.

The implications of ISO 717 spectrum adaption terms for residential dwellings. (2003)
Journal Article
Mackenzie, R., & Smith, S. (2003). The implications of ISO 717 spectrum adaption terms for residential dwellings. Proceedings of the Institute of Acoustics, 25,

In 2001 new proposals were issued for public consultation regarding changes to the English and Welsh Building Regulations Part E "resistance to the passage of
sound" and guidance document Approved Document E. Several major changes were proposed in... Read More about The implications of ISO 717 spectrum adaption terms for residential dwellings..

A study of sketching behaviour to support free-form surface modelling from on-line sketching (2003)
Journal Article
Lim, S., Qin, S., Prieto, P., Wright, D., & Shackleton, J. (2004). A study of sketching behaviour to support free-form surface modelling from on-line sketching. Design Studies, 25(4), 393-413. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.destud.2003.10.008

This paper presents our experimental studies on sketching behaviour, processing and individual preference through questionnaire and sketch observation. This study has been carried out to obtain the barebones criteria that will be adopted to develop a...

The effect of multiple haptic distractors on the performance of mtion-impaired users. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hwang, F., Langdon, P., Keates, S., & Clarkson, P. J. (2003, July). The effect of multiple haptic distractors on the performance of mtion-impaired users. Paper presented at Conference Proceedings of EuroHaptics 2003, Dublin

Abstract. The effect of multiple haptic distractors on target selection performance was examined in terms of times to select the target and the associated cursor movement patterns. Two experiments examined: a) The effect of multiple haptic distractor... Read More about The effect of multiple haptic distractors on the performance of mtion-impaired users..

The Investigation and Analysis of Factors that Limit Penetration of Tubulars in Horizontal Oil Wells (2003)
Thesis
McCourt, I. The Investigation and Analysis of Factors that Limit Penetration of Tubulars in Horizontal Oil Wells. (Thesis). Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2254603

To carry out remedial work in the oil producing wells through the production tubing string, a method using a continuous length of steel tubing or coiled tubing is used, that allows quick access to the well. Coiled tubing can also be used for drilling... Read More about The Investigation and Analysis of Factors that Limit Penetration of Tubulars in Horizontal Oil Wells.

Unconventional Hamilton-type variational principle in phase space and symplectic algorithm. (2003)
Journal Article
Luo, E., Huang, W., & Zhang, J. (2003). Unconventional Hamilton-type variational principle in phase space and symplectic algorithm. SCIENCE CHINA Physics, Mechanics and Astronomy, 46, 248-258. https://doi.org/10.1360/03yg9033

By a novel approach proposed by Luo, the unconventional Hamilton-type variational principle in phase space for elastodynamics of multidegree-of-freedom system is established in this paper. It not only can fully characterize the initial-value problem... Read More about Unconventional Hamilton-type variational principle in phase space and symplectic algorithm..

Torsional behaviour of rectangular hollow sections (2003)
Journal Article
Ridley-Ellis, D., Owen, J. S., & Davies, G. (2003). Torsional behaviour of rectangular hollow sections. Journal of Constructional Steel Research, 59, 641-663. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0143-974X%2802%2900060-3

The results of a series of full-scale torsion tests on rectangular hollow sections (RHS) are presented and discussed. The observed torque–twist behaviour is compared to that predicted by an extended version of Marshall’s simplified thick wall torsion...

Using cursor measures to determine appropriate computer input assistance for motion-impaired users (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Clarkson, P., Hwang, F., Keates, S., Langdon, P., & Clarkson, P. J. (2002, October). Using cursor measures to determine appropriate computer input assistance for motion-impaired users. Presented at Conference Proceedings. Second Joint EMBS-BMES Conference 2002 24th Annual International Conference of the Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual Fall Meeting of the Biomedical Engineering Society, Houston, TX, USA

People with motion-impairments can often have difficulty with accurate control of standard pointing devices for computer input. The nature of the difficulties may vary, so to be most effective, methods of assisting cursor control must be suited to ea...
