See I told you I was taking it! - attitudes of adolescents with asthma towards a device monitoring their inhaler use: Implications for future design (2016)
Journal Article
Howard, S., Lang, A. R., Sharples, S., & Shaw, D. E. (2017). See I told you I was taking it! - attitudes of adolescents with asthma towards a device monitoring their inhaler use: Implications for future design. Applied Ergonomics, 58, 224-237. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apergo.2016.06.018

Adherence to treatment in asthma is often poor, particularly in adolescents and children where the condition is most prevalent. Electronic monitoring devices have shown potential for improving inhaler use, yet little research has considered the attit...

True mid-infrared Pr3+ absorption cross-section in a selenide-chalcogenide host-glass (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Seddon, A. B., Furniss, D., Tang, Z., Sójka, L., Benson, T. M., Caspary, R., & Sujecki, S. (2016, July). True mid-infrared Pr3+ absorption cross-section in a selenide-chalcogenide host-glass. Presented at 2016 18th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks (ICTON), Trento, Italy

The mid-infrared (MIR) spans the 3-25 m wavelength range. Rare-earth-ion doped selenide-chalcogenide glasses are being developed for direct-emission MIR fibre lasers. The true Pr3+ absorption cross-section in the 3.5-6 µm wavelength region of a Pr3+... Read More about True mid-infrared Pr3+ absorption cross-section in a selenide-chalcogenide host-glass.

Numerical modeling of lathanide-ion doped fibre lasers operating within mid-infrared wavelength region (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sójka, L., Furniss, D., Tang, Z., Sakr, H., Barney, E. R., Benson, T. M., Seddon, A. B., Sujecki, S., Scholle, K., Lamrini, S., & Fuhrberg, P. Numerical modeling of lathanide-ion doped fibre lasers operating within mid-infrared wavelength region. Presented at 18th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks

We discuss the numerical modelling of lanthanide-ion doped chalcogenide glass fibre lasers for operation in the mid-infrared wavelength region. We extract the modelling parameters from emission and absorption measurements using Judd-Ofelt and McCumbe...

The aim of this paper is to propose a fractional viscoelastic and viscoplastic model of asphalt mixtures using experimental data of several tests such as creep and creep recovery performed at different temperatures and at different stress levels. Fro... Read More about Linear and nonlinear fractional hereditary constitutive laws of asphalt mixtures.

Monitoring capabilities of a mobile mapping system based on navigation qualities (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jing, H., Slatcher, N., Meng, X., & Hunter, G. Monitoring capabilities of a mobile mapping system based on navigation qualities. Presented at XXIII ISPRS Congress

Mobile mapping systems are becoming increasingly popular as they can build 3D models of the environment rapidly by using a laser scanner that is integrated with a navigation system. 3D mobile mapping has been widely used for applications such as 3D c...

On the free vibrations of size-dependent closed micro/nano-spherical shell based on the modified couple stress theory (2016)
Journal Article
Hosseini-Hashemi, S., Sharifpour, F., & Ilkhani, M. R. (2016). On the free vibrations of size-dependent closed micro/nano-spherical shell based on the modified couple stress theory. International Journal of Mechanical Sciences, 115-116, 501-515. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijmecsci.2016.07.007

Since classical theory is incapable to justify size-dependency of small scale systems such as micro-electro-mechanics (MEMs) or nano-electro-mechanics (NEMs) systems, modified couple stress theory (MCST) has been developed in order to capture the siz...
