Assessing the accessibility of everyday products. (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cardoso, C., Clarkson, P. J., Harrison, L.-A., Langdon, P., & Keates, S. (2001, April). Assessing the accessibility of everyday products. Paper presented at International Conference on Inclusive Design and Communications (INCLUDE 2001), London, UK

If a product is being designed to be genuinely inclusive, then the designers need to be able to assess the level of exclusion of the product they are working on and identify possible areas of improvement. To be of practical use, the assessments need... Read More about Assessing the accessibility of everyday products..

A practical inclusive design approach. (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Clarkson, J., & Keates, S. (2001, April). A practical inclusive design approach. Paper presented at International Conference on Inclusive Design and Communications (INCLUDE 2001), London, UK

Designers instinctively design for able-bodied users and are either unaware of the needs of users with different capabilities, or do not know how to accommodate their needs into the design cycle. Hence, there is an urgent need for design methods, bas... Read More about A practical inclusive design approach..

An industrial evaluation of a stand level grading system for Pinus patula. (2001)
Journal Article
Turner, P., Megown, K. A., Grzeskowiak, V., Megown, R. A., Pauck, J., & Alborough, D. (2001). An industrial evaluation of a stand level grading system for Pinus patula. Southern African forestry journal, 190(1), 105-114. https://doi.org/10.1080/20702620.2001.10434123

This paper reports on progress made in the development and implementation of a stand level wood quality grading system for P. patula identified for processing in Mondi Merebank's stone ground wood and thermo-mechanical pulp lines. The grading system... Read More about An industrial evaluation of a stand level grading system for Pinus patula..

On anomalously low values of the tensile strength of water (2000)
Journal Article
Williams, P. R., & Williams, R. L. (2000). On anomalously low values of the tensile strength of water. Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 456, 1321-1332. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspa.2000.0564

We provide an explanation for the anomalously low values of liquid tensile strength recorded in some experiments involving the reflection of a pressure pulse (as tension) at the free surface of a column of water, or at a flexible membrane. The presen... Read More about On anomalously low values of the tensile strength of water.

Universal access in the work-place: a case study. (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Keates, S., Clarkson, J., Coy, J., & Robinson, P. (1999, November). Universal access in the work-place: a case study. Presented at 5th ERCIM Workshop on "User Interfaces for All", Dagstuhl, Germany

Universal Access belongs not only in the research laboratory, but also in an industrial environment. Many countries have set out specific legal requirements for companies to meet in terms of proportions of staff with disabilities and meeting those re...

Developing a methodology for the design of accessible interfaces. (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Keates, S., Clarkson, P. J., & Robinson, P. (1998, October). Developing a methodology for the design of accessible interfaces. Presented at 4th ERCIM Workshop on "User Interfaces for All"., Stockholm, Sweden

Users with a number of different motion impairment conditions cannot cope with most current computer access systems. Such conditions include athetoid, ataxic and spastic Cerebral Palsy, Muscular Dystrophy, Friedrich?s Ataxia, tetraplegia and spinal i...

Treatment of timber products with gaseous borate esters: Part 2. Process improvement (1998)
Journal Article
Turner, P., & Murphy, R. J. (1998). Treatment of timber products with gaseous borate esters: Part 2. Process improvement. Wood science and technology, 32(1), 25-31. https://doi.org/10.1007/bf00702557

This paper forms a continuation of the work on treatment of timber products with gaseous borate esters. Turner and Murphy (1995) in an earlier paper indicated that gas flow rate into the wood substrate was the principle factor limiting the rate of bo...

Measurement of the electrical properties of concrete at radio frequencies (1994)
Thesis
Starrs, G. Measurement of the electrical properties of concrete at radio frequencies. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6573

This thesis is a presentation of research into the elecrical properties of concrete at radio frequencies (1-1000 MHz). The physical properties of concrete are examined and found to be profoundly influenced by water both at gauging and at later stages...
