Increased error observability of an inertial pedestrian navigation system by rotating IMU (2014)
Journal Article

Indoor pedestrian navigation suffers from the unavailability of useful GNSS signals for navigation. Often a low-cost non-GNSS inertial sensor is used to navigate indoors. However, using only a low-cost inertial sensor for the system degrades its perf... Read More about Increased error observability of an inertial pedestrian navigation system by rotating IMU.

Rotating a mens inertial measurement unit for a foot-mounted pedestrian navigation (2014)
Journal Article

Pedestrian navigation especially indoors suffers from the unavailability of useful GNSS signals for positioning. Alternatively, a low-cost Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) positioning system that does not depend on the GNSS signal can be used for indo...

The AHRC Landscape and Environment Programme Director’s Impact Fellowship (2014)
Journal Article

The Landscape and Environment programme was one of the first strategic research programmes to be launched by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) soon after it acquired its royal charter in 2005. In 2010, programme Director Stephen Daniels... Read More about The AHRC Landscape and Environment Programme Director’s Impact Fellowship.

Phemius Suite (2014)
Journal Article

This article examines four connected aspects of Phemius’ performance in Odyssey 1. The first section examines the poet’s unusual technique in relating Phemius’ music to other, simultaneous sounds in the ‘soundscape’ of Odysseus’ hall. The second argu... Read More about Phemius Suite.

Work it, wrap it, fix it, fold it (2014)
Journal Article

The worker/wrapper transformation is a general-purpose technique for refactoring recursive programs to improve their performance. The two previous approaches to formalising the technique were based upon different recursion operators and different cor... Read More about Work it, wrap it, fix it, fold it.

Journal Article

This article examines the 2009 deluxe illustrated edition of Lawrence Hill’s Commonwealth Writers’ Prize– and Canada Reads–winning novel The Book of Negroes, originally published in 2007. It relates the story of Aminata, a West African girl kidnapped... Read More about "The Book of Negroes’ illustrated edition: circulating African-Canadian history through the Middlebrow".

Update on otitis media – prevention and treatment (2014)
Journal Article

Acute otitis media and otitis media with effusion are common childhood disorders, a source of significant morbidity, and a leading cause of antibiotic prescription in primary health care. Although effective treatments are available, some shortcomings... Read More about Update on otitis media – prevention and treatment.

Effect of 3 to 5 years of scheduled CEA and CT follow-upto detect recurrence of colorectal cancer The FACS Randomized Clinical Trial (2014)
Journal Article

IMPORTANCE Intensive follow-up after surgery for colorectal cancer is common practice but is based on limited evidence. OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of scheduled blood measurement of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and computed tomography (CT) as f...

The dynamics of genome replication using deep sequencing (2014)
Journal Article

Eukaryotic genomes are replicated from multiple DNA replication origins. We present complementary deep sequencing approaches to measure origin location and activity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Measuring the increase in DNA copy number during a synch... Read More about The dynamics of genome replication using deep sequencing.

The prevalence of tinnitus and the relationship with neuroticism in a middle-aged UK population (2014)
Journal Article

Background: Previous research has suggested that a substantial proportion of the population are severely affected by tinnitus, however recent population data are lacking. Furthermore, there is growing evidence that the perception of severity is close... Read More about The prevalence of tinnitus and the relationship with neuroticism in a middle-aged UK population.

One swallow doesn't make a summer: new evidence on anchoring effects (2014)
Journal Article

Some researchers have argued that anchoring in economic valuations casts doubt on the assumption of consistent and stable preferences. We present new evidence that explores the strength of certain anchoring results. We then present a theoretical fram...

Dynamic compression of foam supported plates impacted by high velocity soil (2014)
Journal Article

The response of back-supported buffer plates comprising a solid face sheet and foam core backing impacted by a column of high velocity particles (sand slug) is investigated via a lumped parameter model and coupled discrete/continuum simulations. The... Read More about Dynamic compression of foam supported plates impacted by high velocity soil.

Pigeons: a novel GUI software for analysing and parsing high density heterologous oligonucleotide microarray probe level data (2014)
Journal Article

Genomic DNA-based probe selection by using high density oligonucleotide arrays has recently been applied to heterologous species (Xspecies).

Community phylogenetics at the biogeographical scale: cold tolerance, niche conservatism and the structure of North American forests (2014)
Journal Article

Aim The fossil record has led to a historical explanation for forest diversity gradients within the cool parts of the Northern Hemisphere, founded on a limited ability of woody angiosperm clades to adapt to mid-Tertiary cooling. We tested four pre... Read More about Community phylogenetics at the biogeographical scale: cold tolerance, niche conservatism and the structure of North American forests.

Asymptotic behaviour of tests for a unit root against an explosive alternative (2014)
