Happy IP: aligning intellectual property rights with well-being (2015)
Journal Article

The Chicago School of the law and economics movement, on which the predominant justification for independent property rights is based in most countries, is flawed mainly because it takes economic wealth as the sole proxy for well-being. We suggest re... Read More about Happy IP: aligning intellectual property rights with well-being.

At least 13 such studies have been published in the UK and internationally. The aim of this paper is to analys... Read More about The 2014 DAF survey at the University of Sheffield.

Goal-oriented a posteriori error estimation for the travel time functional in porous media flows (2015)
Journal Article

In this article we consider the a posteriori error estimation and adaptive mesh refinement for the numerical approximation of the travel time functional arising in porous media flows. The key application of this work is in the safety assessment of ra... Read More about Goal-oriented a posteriori error estimation for the travel time functional in porous media flows.

Bayesian registration of functions and curves (2015)
Journal Article

Bayesian analysis of functions and curves is considered, where warping and other geometrical transformations are often required for meaningful comparisons. The functions and curves of interest are represented using the recently introduced square root... Read More about Bayesian registration of functions and curves.

Measuring the emotional response to beer and the relative impact of sensory and packaging cues (2015)
Journal Article

In today’s extremely competitive markets, recent studies have highlighted that using hedonic measurement alone is inadequate for evaluating consumer product experience. Measuring emotional response is suggested to provide a richer insight into consum... Read More about Measuring the emotional response to beer and the relative impact of sensory and packaging cues.

A greedy heuristic for workforce scheduling and routing with time-dependent activities constraints (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Castillo-Salazar, J. A., Landa-Silva, D., & Qu, R. (2015). A greedy heuristic for workforce scheduling and routing with time-dependent activities constraints.

We present a greedy heuristic (GHI) designed to tackle five time-dependent activities constraints (synchronisation, overlap, minimum difference, maximum difference and minimum-maximum difference) on workforce scheduling and routing problems. These ty... Read More about A greedy heuristic for workforce scheduling and routing with time-dependent activities constraints.

With a little help from my friends?: quality of social networks, job finding and job match quality (2015)
Journal Article

This paper studies the effect of network quality on job finding and job match quality using longitudinal data and a direct measure of network quality, which is based on the employment of friendship ties. Various identification strategies provide robu... Read More about With a little help from my friends?: quality of social networks, job finding and job match quality.

Research data management as a “wicked problem” (2015)
Journal Article

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the usefulness of the concept to thinking about Research Data Management (RDM). The concept of “wicked problems” seeks to differentiate very complex, intractable challenges from tamer issues where app... Read More about Research data management as a “wicked problem”.

Creative practice in a group setting (2015)
Journal Article

Purpose – Involvement in creative practice is commonly regarded as “therapeutic” but what is actually meant by this and how does this work promote social inclusion and mental well-being, particularly when performed in a group setting? Drawing on the... Read More about Creative practice in a group setting.

Implementing person centred dementia care: a musical intervention (2015)

Purpose - Recent years have seen the advocacy of person centred approaches to dementia care. An important component of this approach has been the use of arts in the promotion of health and wellbeing. However, relatively little attention has been gi... Read More about Implementing person centred dementia care: a musical intervention.

A note on optimal spectral bounds for nonoverlapping domain decomposition preconditioners for hp-version discontinuous Galerkin methods (2015)
Journal Article

In this article, we consider the derivation of hp-optimal spectral bounds for a class of domain decomposition preconditioners based on the Schwarz framework for discontinuous Galerkin finite element approximations of second-order elliptic partial dif...

Making sense of the Sense Model: translation priming with Japanese-English bilinguals (2015)
Journal Article

Many studies have reported that first language (L1) translation primes speed responses to second language (L2) targets, whereas L2 translation primes generally do not speed up responses to L1 targets in lexical decision. According to the Sense Model... Read More about Making sense of the Sense Model: translation priming with Japanese-English bilinguals.
