(University of Hertfordshire on behalf of the Network of Automotive Regions, 2007-11)Automotive Regions - Present and Future has been produced to provide an insight into the work carried out by the Network of Automotive Regions, a project part funded by Interreg IIIC European Funding. There are 16 partners ... -
Autonomous and Intrinsically Motivated Robots for Sustained Human-Robot Interaction
(2021-02-04)A challenge in using fully autonomous robots in human-robot interaction (HRI) is to design behavior that is engaging enough to encourage voluntary, long-term interaction, yet robust to the perturbations induced by human ... -
Autonomous Learning of Appropriate Social Distance by a Mobile Robot
(2008-11-04)Abstract This thesis aims to design an appropriate human-following solution for a mobile robot. The research can be characterised as interactive model building for a Human Robot Interaction (HRI) scenario. It studies ... -
An Autonomous Proxemic System for a Mobile Companion Robot
(AISB, 2010-03)This paper presents an Autonomous Proxemic System (APS) for a mobile robot. It detects people in the surroundings and manipulates the robot’s motions to approach them keeping an acceptable proxemic distance. The APS sensing ... -
An Autonomous Proxemic System for a Mobile Companion Robot
(The Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and the Simulation of Behaviour (AISB), 2010)This paper presents an Autonomous Proxemic System (APS) for a mobile robot. It detects people in the surroundings and manipulates the robot’s motions to approach them keeping an acceptable proxemic distance. The APS sensing ... -
Autonomy and Regulation in the School System in England
(Springer Nature, 2020-05-29)The chapter examines the school system in England, concentrating on developments since 2010. During this period, a radical refashioning of the school system in England has taken place as large numbers of schools have moved ... -
Autonomy, Leadership and Leadership Development in England’s School System
(2021-03-15)The policy context for schools in England places great emphasis on leadership and autonomy as drivers of educational improvement. The purpose of this article is to explore how we can better understand, in this context, the ... -
Autophagy and Spinal Muscular Atrophy: Towards a Pathway-Centric Therapy for a Fatal Childhood Disorder
(2019-06-04)Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a devastating neuromuscular and the primary cause of infant death. SMA is characterised by the loss of motor neurons in the spinal resulting in progressive muscle atrophy, paralysis and ... -
Autophagy in spinal muscular atrophy: from pathogenic mechanisms to therapeutic approaches
(2024-01-08)Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a devastating neuromuscular disorder caused by the depletion of the ubiquitously expressed survival motor neuron (SMN) protein. While the genetic cause of SMA has been well documented, the ... -
Autumn sowing increases severity of pasmo (Mycosphaerella linicola) on linseed in the UK
(2009)Surveys and field experiments showed pasmo to be the most serious disease affecting UK winter linseed in the 1997-98, 1998-99 and 1999-2000 growing seasons. Survey data indicated that pasmo was widespread in England and ... -
Auxiliary Computations: A Framework for a Step-Wise, Non-Disruptive Introduction of Static Guarantees to Untyped Programs Using Partial Evaluation Techniques
(2010-08-05)Type inference can be considered a form of partial evaluation that only evaluates a program with respect to its type annotations. Building on this key observation, this dissertation presents a uniform framework for expressing ... -
The availability and cost of a milk-free diet for cow's milk protein allergy
(2011)Background: Cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) is the most common food allergy, and adherence to a milk-free diet is essential, particularly in immunoglobulin E-mediated CMPA sufferers (Benhamou et al., 2009). No studies ... -
Availability of Illegal Drugs During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Western Germany
(2021-04-23)Background: In response to the COVID-19-pandemic, a lockdown was established in the middle of March 2020 by the German Federal Government resulting in drastic reduction of private and professional traveling in and out of ... -

The avatar and the player : Understanding the relationship beyond the screen
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009)This paper looks at the concept of the avatar in terms of our interaction and viewpoints. It proposes a vocabulary of terms which analytically describe the player: avatar relationship as opposed to the player: screen ... -
Average BER analysis of SCM-based free-space optical systems by considering the effect of IM3 with OSSB signals under turbulence channels
(2009-11)In this paper, we derive the average bit error rate (BER) of subcarrier multiplexing (SCM)-based free space optics (FSO) systems using a dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator (DD-MZM) for optical single-sideband (OSSB) signals ... -
Average Scores Integration in Official Star Rating Scheme
(2019-09-17)Purpose: Evidence suggests that electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) plays a highly influential role in decision-making when booking hotel rooms. The number of online sources where consumers can obtain information on hotel ... -
The average submillimetre properties of Lyman-alpha Blobs at z=3
(2016-08-21)Ly-alpha blobs (LABs) offer insight into the complex interface between galaxies and their circumgalactic medium. Whilst some LABs have been found to contain luminous star-forming galaxies and active galactic nuclei that ... -
Average transmit power of adaptive ZF very large multi-user and multi-antenna systems
(2015-04-01)In this paper, we investigate adaptive zero-forcing uplink transmission for very large multi-user multi-antenna systems in Rayleigh fading environments. We assume that the number of antennas at the base station (denoted ...
