Do subject specialists produce more useful feedback than non-specialists when observing mathematics lessons? (2014)
Conference Proceeding

Schools, districts and inspectorates routinely use non-specialists to observe lessons for accountability and professional development purposes. However, there is little empirical research on how well non-specialists observe lessons. We describe two p...

Tuning a multiple classifier system for side effect discovery using genetic algorithms (2014)
Conference Proceeding

In previous work, a novel supervised framework implementing a binary classifier was presented that obtained excellent results for side effect discovery. Interestingly, unique side effects were identified when different binary classifiers were used wi...

A support vector-based interval type-2 fuzzy system (2014)
Conference Proceeding

In this paper, a new fuzzy regression model that is supported by support vector regression is presented. Type-2 fuzzy systems are able to tackle applications that have significant uncertainty. However general type-2 fuzzy systems are more complex tha... Read More about A support vector-based interval type-2 fuzzy system.

Understanding issues in mathematical problem solving and modeling: lessons from lesson study (2014)
Conference Proceeding

At the heart of our concern, and research, has been to understand how, in classroom learning, students might develop capabilities towards mathematical literacy (Steen, 2001). We have sought to gain insight into how to teach students to be able to app... Read More about Understanding issues in mathematical problem solving and modeling: lessons from lesson study.

Delivering and evaluating the multiple flood risk benefits in Blue-Green Cities: an interdisciplinary approach (2014)
Conference Proceeding

A Blue-Green City aims to recreate a naturally-oriented water cycle while contributing to the amenity of the city by bringing water management and green infrastructure together. The Blue-Green approach is more than a stormwater management strategy ai...

You’ll never walk alone: designing a location-based soundtrack (2014)
Conference Proceeding

Musical soundtracks have great potential to enhance mobile walking experiences such as tours and guides, much as they already do for films and games. They also raise new challenges for composers as the music must fit a given landscape and respond to... Read More about You’ll never walk alone: designing a location-based soundtrack.

The impact of moisture on the milling behavior of different biomasses (2014)
Conference Proceeding

The aim of this study was to examine the impact of moisture content on the milling behaviour of four different biomasses commonly used in the power sector and characterise their milling behaviour in a laboratory scale planetary ball mill. As received... Read More about The impact of moisture on the milling behavior of different biomasses.

Testing of a lightweight SiC power module for avionic applications (2014)
Conference Proceeding

Functional and performance tests of a three-phase, two-level power module based on CREE 1.2kV SiC MOSFETs for avionic applications is presented in this paper. SiC devices have superior properties over conventional Si devices at high voltage operation... Read More about Testing of a lightweight SiC power module for avionic applications.

Building Information Modelling (BIM)—versioning for collaborative design (2014)
Conference Proceeding

The engineering design process is a complicated activity. It is often characterized by multi-disciplinary teams in multiple places working together on a single project, using different models and software tools. In addition, such activities generate...

Progress in smoothed particle hydrodynamics to simulate bearing chambers (2014)
Conference Proceeding

Computational investigation of flows and pressure fields associated with spur gear meshing (2014)
Conference Proceeding

The efficiency of power transmission systems is increasingly targeted with a view to reducing parasitic losses and improving specific fuel consumption (SFC). One of the effects associated with such parasitic losses is the successive compression and e...

A janus-paper PDMS platform for lab-on-a-chip applications (2014)
Conference Proceeding

© 2014TRF. A commercially available Janus paper with one hydrophobic (polyethylene-coated) face and a hygroscopic/hydrophilic one is irreversibly bonded to a PDMS substrate incorporating microfluidic channels via corona discharge surface treatment. T... Read More about A janus-paper PDMS platform for lab-on-a-chip applications.

Computer and website-based interventions to improve common mental health problems in university students: a meta-analysis (2014)
Conference Proceeding

Website-based and computer-delivered interventions could improve common mental health problems experienced by university students, as their help-seeking is limited. This review analysed RCT trials of these interventions to improve depression, anxiety...

Displaying locality: connecting with customers and visitors in-situ via their mobile devices (2014)
Conference Proceeding

A large and growing proportion of the general population in the UK and similar nations routinely carry smart phones and access the Internet while on the go. However, especially in rural areas, mobile Internet access can be intermittent and slow, and...

Supporting team coordination on the ground: requirements from a mixed reality game (2014)
Conference Proceeding

We generate requirements for time-critical distributed team support relevant for domains such as disaster response. We present the Radiation Response Game to investigate socio-technical issues regarding team coordination. Field responders in this mix...

Alternative methodologies to evaluate storage stability of rubberised bitumens (2014)
Conference Proceeding

Tyre Rubber Modified Binders (TR-MBs), produced through the McDonald wet process and used worldwide (e.g. asphalt rubber), have demonstrated various benefits to pavements and, moreover, they represent a good opportunity for recycling tyre rubber. How... Read More about Alternative methodologies to evaluate storage stability of rubberised bitumens.

Overview of positioning technologies from fitness-to-purpose point of view (2014)
Conference Proceeding

Even though Location Based Services (LBSs) are being more and more widely-used and this shows a promising future, there are still many challenges to deal with, such as privacy, reliability, accuracy, cost of service, power consumption and availabilit...
