The effect of baroque music on the PassPoints graphical password
Conference Proceeding
Gao, H., Ren, Z., Chang, X., Liu, X., & Aickelin, U. (in press). The effect of baroque music on the PassPoints graphical password.

Graphical passwords have been demonstrated to be the possible alternatives to traditional alphanumeric passwords. However, they still tend to follow predictable patterns that are easier to attack. The crux of the problem is users’ memory limitations.... Read More about The effect of baroque music on the PassPoints graphical password.

Design analysis of a hybrid jet-pump CO2 compression system
Conference Proceeding
Worall, M., Omer, S., & Riffat, S. (2010). Design analysis of a hybrid jet-pump CO2 compression system.

Transport refrigeration contributes to anthropogenic global warming directly because of leakage of refrigerant, usually using high global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants, and indirectly because of the greenhouse gases emitted in driving the vehi...

Integrity management and the public service ethos in the UK: patchwork quilt or threadbare blanket?
Conference Proceeding
Heywood, P. M. Integrity management and the public service ethos in the UK: patchwork quilt or threadbare blanket?.

This paper focuses on the nature of integrity management in contemporary UK public life. Despite traditionally high standards of integrity in the public service, it has recently been argued that the UK’s National Integrity System resembles a patchwor...

A comparison of non-stationary, type-2 and dual surface fuzzy control
Conference Proceeding
Benatar, N., Aickelin, U., & Garibaldi, J. M. (in press). A comparison of non-stationary, type-2 and dual surface fuzzy control.

Type-1 fuzzy logic has frequently been used in control systems. However this method is sometimes shown to be too restrictive and unable to adapt in the presence of uncertainty. In this paper we compare type-1 fuzzy control with several other fuzzy ap... Read More about A comparison of non-stationary, type-2 and dual surface fuzzy control.

Use of enterprise simulation to assess the impacts of remanufacturing operations
Conference Proceeding
Farr, R., & Lohse, N. Use of enterprise simulation to assess the impacts of remanufacturing operations.

Remanufacturing could become a cornerstone of a future sustainable society and considerable progress has been made towards finding technical solutions for the renovation of products or selected components. Not all the barriers to remanufacturing are... Read More about Use of enterprise simulation to assess the impacts of remanufacturing operations.

Variance in system dynamics and agent based modelling using the SIR model of infectious diseases
Conference Proceeding
Ahmed, A., Greensmith, J., & Aickelin, U. Variance in system dynamics and agent based modelling using the SIR model of infectious diseases.

Classical deterministic simulations of epidemiological processes, such as those based on System Dynamics, produce a single result based on a fixed set of input parameters with no variance between simulations. Input parameters are subsequently modifie... Read More about Variance in system dynamics and agent based modelling using the SIR model of infectious diseases.

Education and development in Africa: lessons of the past 50 years for beyond 2015
Conference Proceeding
McGrath, S. Education and development in Africa: lessons of the past 50 years for beyond 2015.

As we move to discuss the nature of development targets post 2015, it is timely to consider what lessons can be learnt from 50 years of experiences of attempts to link education and development in Africa.

Challenging the vocational education and training for development orthodoxy
Conference Proceeding
McGrath, S. Challenging the vocational education and training for development orthodoxy.

The orthodox account of vocational education and training for development is firmly based in Neoliberal assumptions about the primacy of the economic. Yet, there are a range of alternative accounts of development, receiving increasing attention, tha... Read More about Challenging the vocational education and training for development orthodoxy.
