Journal Article
Frowd, C. D., Pitchford, M., Bruce, V., Jackson, S., Hepton, G., Greenall, M., McIntyre, A. H., & Hancock, P. J. B. (2011). The psychology of face construction: Giving evolution a helping hand. Applied Cognitive Psychology, 25(2), 195-203. https://doi.org/10.1002/acp.1662

Face construction by selecting individual facial features rarely produces recognisable images. We have been developing a system called EvoFIT that works by the repeated selection and breeding of complete faces. Here, we explored two techniques. The f...

Predict Your Child: a System to Suggest the Facial Appearance of Children (2008)
Journal Article
Frowd, C. D., Bruce, V., Chang, H. Y., Plenderleith, Y., McIntyre, A. H., & Hancock, P. J. (2008). Predict Your Child: a System to Suggest the Facial Appearance of Children. Journal of multimedia, 3(1), https://doi.org/10.4304/jmm.3.1.28-35

We have developed a novel software program
called ‘Predict Your Child’ that, given photographs of
potential parent faces, generates plausible looking children.
The parent photographs are imported into a PCA-based
model of facial appearance to giv... Read More about Predict Your Child: a System to Suggest the Facial Appearance of Children.

Implementing Holistic Dimensions for a Facial Composite System (2006)
Journal Article
Frowd, C. D., Bruce, V., McIntyre, A. H., Ross, D., Fields, S., Plenderleith, Y., & Hancock, P. J. (2006). Implementing Holistic Dimensions for a Facial Composite System. Journal of multimedia, 1(3), https://doi.org/10.4304/jmm.1.3.42-51

Facial composites are pictures of human faces.
These are normally constructed by victims and witnesses of
crime who describe a suspect’s face and then select
individual facial features. Unfortunately, research has
shown that composites constructe... Read More about Implementing Holistic Dimensions for a Facial Composite System.

Optimal Selection of a Connected Reserve Network. (2006)
Journal Article
Önal, H., & Briers, R. A. (2006). Optimal Selection of a Connected Reserve Network. Operations Research, 54(2), 379-388. https://doi.org/10.1287/opre.1060.0272

Spatial considerations are important in conservation reserve design. A particularly important spatial requirement is the connectivity of selected sites. Direct connections between reserve sites increase the likelihood of species persistence by allowi... Read More about Optimal Selection of a Connected Reserve Network..

Globalisation, collective action and counter‐coordination: The use of the new information communication technology by the Malaysian labour movement (2005)
Journal Article
Grieco, M., & Bhopal, M. (2005). Globalisation, collective action and counter‐coordination: The use of the new information communication technology by the Malaysian labour movement. Critical Perspectives on International Business, 1(2/3), 109-122. https://doi.org/10.1108/17422040510595627

This article aims to explore the use of new information communication technology by the Malaysian labour movement. New information communication technologies are undoubtedly globalising, but these same technologies can also be used by labour to retri...
