Gesture bike: examining projection surfaces and turn signal systems for urban cycling
Conference Proceeding

Interactive surfaces could be employed in urban environments to make people more aware of moving vehicles, showing drivers’ intention and the subsequent position of vehicles. To explore the usage of projections while cycling, we created a system that... Read More about Gesture bike: examining projection surfaces and turn signal systems for urban cycling.

Do they have designs on us or for us? (or Beware of Greeks bearing gifts)
Conference Proceeding

In this paper I am proposing that for a regional project designed by foreign entities to be truly successful the understanding of the culture of the key stakeholders needs to be two way. Not only does the designer need to learn and understand the rel... Read More about Do they have designs on us or for us? (or Beware of Greeks bearing gifts).

Hybrid half-bridge package for high voltage application
Conference Proceeding

3D power module structures allow for better cooling and lower parasitic inductances compared with the classical planar technology. In this paper, we present a hybrid half-bridge in a 3D packaging configuration, dedicated for high voltage application.... Read More about Hybrid half-bridge package for high voltage application.

Finite control set model predictive control for grid-tied quasi-Z-source based multilevel inverter
Conference Proceeding

In this paper, a finite control set Model Predictive Control (MPC) for grid-tie quasi-Z-Source (qZS) based multilevel inverter is proposed. The proposed Power Conditioning System (PCS) consists of a single-phase 2-cell Cascaded H-Bridge (CHB) inverte...

Computational models of emotion, personality, and social relationships for interactions in games
Conference Proceeding

We present a novel computational model of emotion, personality and social relationships, implemented and evaluated in an existing commercial game (The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim). We argue that Non Player Characters (NPCs) with such capabilities will ac... Read More about Computational models of emotion, personality, and social relationships for interactions in games.

Low parasitic inductance multi-chip SiC devices packaging technology
Conference Proceeding

This paper presents a novel packaging structure which employs stacked substrate and flexible printed circuit board (PCB) to obtain very low parasitic inductance and hence feature high switching speed SiC power devices. A half-bridge module aimed at b... Read More about Low parasitic inductance multi-chip SiC devices packaging technology.

"Stark, necessary and not permanent": huts in the work of Paul Celan and J.H. Prynne
Journal Article

This article examines the motif of the hut in the work of Paul Celan and J. H. Prynne, as a metaphor for poetry which also mediates the relationship between poetry, language and place. Both Prynne and Celan’s use of the hut motif intersects with the... Read More about "Stark, necessary and not permanent": huts in the work of Paul Celan and J.H. Prynne.

Effectiveness of microcredit for poverty alleviation: evidence from Indonesia
Conference Proceeding

Debate persists about the effectiveness of microcredit for poverty alleviation. We argue that much of this debate is due to discipline-specific research approaches and methodological complexities obscuring fundamental issues. Microfinance organisati...

Enabling the new economic actor: personal data regulation and the digital economy
Conference Proceeding

This paper offers a sociological perspective on data protection regulation and its relevance to the design of digital technologies that exploit or ‘trade in’ personal data. From this perspective, proposed data protection regulations in Europe and the... Read More about Enabling the new economic actor: personal data regulation and the digital economy.
