The use of cognitive clinical interviews to explore learning from video game play (2015)
Conference Proceeding

As research about the learning that results when children play video games becomes more popular, questions arise about what methodological and analytical tools are most appropriate to access and document this learning. Thus far, researchers have most... Read More about The use of cognitive clinical interviews to explore learning from video game play.

What triggers sharing in viral marketing? The role of emotion and social feature (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Viral marketing has attracted attention from both academics and practitioners. With the rise of user-generated content (UGC) and broadcasting networks, viral online video advertising campaigns (viral advertising in short) are an emerging trend in vir...

Programs for cheap! (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Write down the definition of a recursion operator on a piece of paper. Tell me its type, but be careful not to let me see the operator’s definition. I will tell you an optimization theorem that the operator satisfies. As an added bonus, I will also g... Read More about Programs for cheap!.

Gendered priorities for ‘improved’ sanitation: insights from Kisumu Kenya (2015)
Conference Proceeding

This paper explores how official concepts of ‘improved’ sanitation often fail to reflect the priorities of female users. As the health benefits associated with improved sanitation cannot be fully realised until all potential user groups habitually ut...

Quantifying robustness of trust systems against collusive unfair rating attacks using information theory (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Unfair rating attacks happen in existing trust and reputation systems, lowering the quality of the systems. There exists a formal model that measures the maximum impact of independent attackers [Wang et al., 2015] - based on information theory. We im...

On the constitutive modeling of dual-phase steels at finite strains: a generalized plasticity based approach (2015)
Conference Proceeding

In this work we propose a general theoretic framework for the derivation of constitutive equations for dual-phase steels, undergoing continuum finite deformation. The proposed framework is based on the generalized plasticity theory and comprises the...

Computational studies of pressure distribution around a 5:1 rectangular section in turbulent flow (2015)
Conference Proceeding

This paper presents a numerical method based on a LES approach to modelling the unsteady flow around and the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of a 5:1 rectangular cylinder in the smooth and turbulent flow. A fluid-structure interaction algorithm was al... Read More about Computational studies of pressure distribution around a 5:1 rectangular section in turbulent flow.

Indoor positioning technology assessment using analytic hierarchy process for pedestrian navigation services (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Indoor positioning is one of the biggest challenges of many Location Based Services (LBS), especially if the target users are pedestrians, who spend most of their time in roofed areas such as houses, offices, airports, shopping centres and in general... Read More about Indoor positioning technology assessment using analytic hierarchy process for pedestrian navigation services.

Velocity measurements in the vicinity of the exit and inlet of a spiral bevel gear shroud (2015)
Conference Proceeding

In many aeroengines the accessory power offtake is achieved using a spiral bevel gear set running off one of the main shafts. The crown and bevel gears are housed in an internal gearbox. Over the past few years the Nottingham University Technology Ce... Read More about Velocity measurements in the vicinity of the exit and inlet of a spiral bevel gear shroud.

Evaluating GNSS integrity augmentation techniques for UAS sense-and-avoid (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) far exceed the navigation accuracies provided by other state-of-the-art sensors for aerospace applications. This can support the development of low-cost and high performance navigation and guidance architect... Read More about Evaluating GNSS integrity augmentation techniques for UAS sense-and-avoid.

Assessing avionics-based GNSS integrity augmentation performance in UAS mission- and safety-critical tasks (2015)
Conference Proceeding

The integration of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) integrity augmentation functionalities in Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) has the potential to provide an integrity-augmented Sense-and-Avoid (SAA) solution suitable for cooperative and non-c... Read More about Assessing avionics-based GNSS integrity augmentation performance in UAS mission- and safety-critical tasks.

A study of genetic operators for the Workforce Scheduling and Routing Problem (2015)
Conference Proceeding

The Workforce Scheduling and Routing Problem (WSRP) is concerned with planning visits of qualified workers to different locations to perform a set of tasks, while satisfying each task time-window plus additional requirements such as customer/workers...

Carbon capture and utilisation: application of life cycle thinking to process design (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Applying life cycle thinking at an early design stage can help engineers to deliver sustainable systems by design. To demonstrate how this can be carried out at a practical level, this paper proposes a simplified methodology for integrating life cycl...

Towards an extended festival viewing experience (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Media coverage of large-scale live events is becoming increasingly complex, with technologies enabling the delivery of a broader range of content as well as complex viewing patterns across devices and services. This paper presents a study aimed at un... Read More about Towards an extended festival viewing experience.

The development of a snow cleaning system for micro-CMM stylus tips (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Contamination adhered to the surface of a µCMM stylus tip significantly impairs the dimensional accuracy of the CMM systems, potentially causing dimensional errors that are over ten times larger than the uncertainty of a modern µCMM. To reduce such e... Read More about The development of a snow cleaning system for micro-CMM stylus tips.

#Scanners: integrating physiology into cinematic experiences (2015)

Considering musical structure in location-based experiences (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Locative music experiences are often non-linear and as such the final structure of the music heard is guided by the movements of the user. We note an absence of principles regarding how composers should approach the structuring of such locative sound... Read More about Considering musical structure in location-based experiences.
