Conference Proceeding
Large, D. R., Crundall, E., Burnett, G., & Skrypchuk, L. (2015). Predicting the visual demand of finger-touch pointing tasks in a driving context. In AutomotiveUI '15: Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular Applications, 221-224. doi:10.1145/2799250.2799256

Finger-touch based interactions with capacitive touchscreen devices in cars are becoming increasingly common. As such, it is critical to understand the basic human factors of target acquisition (pointing/touching) in this context. We describe a simul...

Using landmark-based navigation can greatly improve drivers’ route-finding performance. Previous research in this area has tended to focus on the inclusion of text or icon-based landmark information utilising dashboard-mounted displays. In contrast,...

Conventional diesel combustion produces harmful exhaust emissions which adversely affect the air quality if not controlled by in-cylinder measures and exhaust aftertreatment systems. Dual-fuel combustion can potentially reduce the formation of nitrog...

During pregnancy, the ETS transcription factor ELF5 establishes the milk-secreting alveolar cell lineage by driving a cell fate decision of the mammary luminal progenitor cell. In breast cancer, ELF5 is a key transcriptional determinant of tumor subt...

Current energy-harvesting pavements do not have the features needed for large-scale applications. For example, the use of water as an operating fluid may create problems with the pavement structure if leakage occurs. Moreover, the design of such syst...
