Cord pilot trial, comparing alternative policies for timing of cord clamping before 32 weeks gestation: follow-up for women up to one year (2019)
Journal Article

Background The Cord Pilot Trial compared two alternative policies for cord clamping at very preterm birth at eight UK maternity units: clamping after at least 2 min and immediate neonatal care (if needed) with cord intact, or clamping within 20 s an...

On the phase space structure of IP3 induced Ca2+ signalling and concepts for predictive modeling (2018)
Journal Article

The correspondence between mathematical structures and experimental systems is the basis of the generalizability of results found with specific systems, and is the basis of the predictive power of theoretical physics. While physicists have confidence... Read More about On the phase space structure of IP3 induced Ca2+ signalling and concepts for predictive modeling.

Bread stories: understanding the drivers of bread consumption for digital food customisation (2017)
Conference Proceeding

Consumer demand for food that satisfies specific needs rather than generic mass produced food is growing. In response, the food industry is actively investigating techniques for efficient and comprehensive food customisation. Digital approaches to fo...

Playing with social and emotional game companions (2016)
Conference Proceeding

This paper presents the findings of an empirical study that explores player game experience by implementing the ERiSA Framework in games. A study with Action Role-Playing Game (RPG) was designed to evaluate player interactions with game companions, w... Read More about Playing with social and emotional game companions.

The portormin (dunbeath) runestone (2016)
Journal Article

A stone with a short runic inscription was discovered on the beach at Portormin Harbour in Dunbeath, Caithness, in 1996. The find attracted some press attention at the time, but has been largely ignored by the runological com­mu­nity amid doubts over... Read More about The portormin (dunbeath) runestone.

Play SMILE Game with ERiSA: a user study on game companions (2015)
Conference Proceeding

This paper describes the evaluation of our fully integrated virtual game companions framework (ERiSA) [4]. We conducted three user studies with different scenarios using two versions of The Smile Game[4] in semi-public and public spaces. In our study...

Run spot run: capturing and tagging footage of a race by crowds of spectators (2015)
Conference Proceeding

There has been a massive growth in the number of people who film and upload amateur footage of events to services such as Facebook and Youtube, or even stream live to services such as LiveStream. We present an exploratory study that investigates the... Read More about Run spot run: capturing and tagging footage of a race by crowds of spectators.

ERiSA: building emotionally realistic social game-agents companions (2014)
Journal Article

We propose an integrated framework for social and emotional game-agents to enhance their believability and quality of interaction, in particular by allowing an agent to forge social relations and make appropriate use of social signals. The framework... Read More about ERiSA: building emotionally realistic social game-agents companions.

The Malthusian Paradox: performance in an alternate reality game (2014)
Journal Article

The Malthusian Paradox is a transmedia alternate reality game (ARG) created by artists Dominic Shaw and Adam Sporne played by 300 participants over three months. We explore the design of the game, which cast players as agents of a radical organisatio... Read More about The Malthusian Paradox: performance in an alternate reality game.

Understanding mass participatory pervasive computing systems for environmental campaigns (2013)
Journal Article

Participate was a 3-year collaboration between industry and academia to explore how mobile, Web and broadcast technologies could combine to deliver environ- mental campaigns. In a series of pilot projects, schools used mobile sensors to enhance scien... Read More about Understanding mass participatory pervasive computing systems for environmental campaigns.

N-(Alkylsulfamoyl)aldimines: easily deprotected precursors for diarylmethylamine synthesis (2013)

Fundamental properties of Ca²⁺ signals (2011)
Journal Article

Background Ca²⁺ is a ubiquitous and versatile second messenger that transmits information through changes of the cytosolic Ca²⁺ concentration. Recent investigations changed basic ideas on the dynamic character of Ca²⁺ signals and challenge tradition... Read More about Fundamental properties of Ca²⁺ signals.

Cardiac cell modelling: observations from the heart of the cardiac physiome project (2011)
Journal Article

In this manuscript we review the state of cardiac cell modelling in the context of international initiatives such as the IUPS Physiome and Virtual Physiological Human Projects, which aim to integrate computational models across scales and physics. In... Read More about Cardiac cell modelling: observations from the heart of the cardiac physiome project.

Towards a predictive model of Ca²⁺ puffs (2009)
Journal Article

We investigate key characteristics of Ca²⁺ puffs in deterministic and stochastic frameworks that all incorporate the cellular morphology of IP[subscript]3 receptor channel clusters. In a first step, we numerically study Ca²⁺ liberation in a three dim... Read More about Towards a predictive model of Ca²⁺ puffs.

Waiting time distributions for clusters of complex molecules (2007)
Journal Article

Waiting time distributions are in the core of theories for a large variety of subjects ranging from the analysis of patch clamp records to stochastic excitable systems. Here, we present a novel exact method for the calculation of waiting time distrib... Read More about Waiting time distributions for clusters of complex molecules.

Building oscillations bottom up: Elemental time scales of intracellular calcium dynamics (2007)
Book Chapter

We analyze the elemental time scale of intracellular calcium dynamics. It is determined by the time course of Ca2+ puffs, which represent the fundamental quantum of Ca2+ release from intracellular storage compartments. Since Ca2+ puffs are truly rand...

Frequency of elemental events of intracellular Ca²⁺ dynamics (2006)
Journal Article

The dynamics of intracellular Ca²⁺ is driven by random events called Ca²⁺ puffs, in which Ca²⁺ is liberated from intracellular stores. We show that the emergence of Ca²⁺ puffs can be mapped to an escape process. The mean first passage times that corresp...

The multimedia challenges raised by pervasive games (2005)
Conference Proceeding

Pervasive gaming is a new form of multimedia entertainment that extends the traditional computer gaming experience out into the real world. Through a combination of personal devices, positioning systems and other multimedia sensors, combined with wir... Read More about The multimedia challenges raised by pervasive games.
