Estimation of errors in force platform data. (2006)
Journal Article
Psycharakis, S., & Miller, S. (2006). Estimation of errors in force platform data. Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 77, 514-518

Force platforms (FPs) are regularly used in the biomechanical analysis of sport and exercise techniques, often in combination with image-based motion analysis (e.g., Begg & Kamruzzaman, 2005; Kuitunen, Komi, & Kyrolainen, 2002; Rahmani, Dalleau, Vial...

McGregor, I., Crerar, A., Benyon, D., & LePlâtre, G. (2006, November). Mapping workplace soundscapes: Reifying Office Auditory Environments. Presented at World Forum on Acoustic Ecology Conference, Hirosaki, Aomori, Japan

This paper reports an empirical study to investigate how individuals perceive and classify elements of their workplace auditory environments. The participants were 18 university employees chosen for their varying degrees of room occupancy, from singl... Read More about Mapping workplace soundscapes: Reifying Office Auditory Environments.

Harmonic errors associated with the use of choppers in optical experiments (2006)
Journal Article
Benjamin, K., Armitage, A., & South, R. B. (2006). Harmonic errors associated with the use of choppers in optical experiments. Measurement : journal of the International Measurement Confederation, 39(8), 764-770. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.measurement.2006.02.008

Rotating chopper wheels are used to modulate optical radiation in many experimental systems, typically for measuring the frequency response of an optical system. The assumption is often made that the chopped radiation varies sinusoidally. In practice... Read More about Harmonic errors associated with the use of choppers in optical experiments.

Physicochemical characterisation of cellulose from perennial ryegrass leaves (Lolium perenne). (2006)
Journal Article
Ren, J., Sun, R., Fowler, P., Liu, C., Xu, F., Sun, J., Ren, S., Curling, S., Sun, P., Fowler, P. A., & Baird, M. (2006). Physicochemical characterisation of cellulose from perennial ryegrass leaves (Lolium perenne). Carbohydrate Research, 341(16), 2677-2687. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.carres.2006.07.008

In this study, we investigated the physicochemical properties of the cellulosic preparations obtained from both untreated perennial ryegrass leaves and de-juiced leaves. It was found that treatment at 22 degrees C with 18% NaOH and 18% KOH for 2h, an... Read More about Physicochemical characterisation of cellulose from perennial ryegrass leaves (Lolium perenne)..

Sound and soundscape classification: Establishing key auditory dimensions and their relative importance (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McGregor, I., LePlâtre, G., Crerar, A., & Benyon, D. (2006, June). Sound and soundscape classification: Establishing key auditory dimensions and their relative importance. Presented at The 12th International Conference on Auditory Display, ICAD2006

This paper investigates soundscape classification by using two different forms of data gathering and two different populations. The first method involves a questionnaire completed by 75 audio professionals. The second uses a speak-aloud experiment, d...
