Video prototyping in human-robot interaction : results from a qualitative study
(2008)Motivation: explore and refine qualitative methods of video prototyping in human-robot interaction in order to evaluate user experience of prototype systems. Research approach: an exploratory, scenario based study, in which ... -
Video prototyping of dog-inspired non-verbal affective communication for an appearance constrained robot
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010)This paper presents results from a video human-robot interaction (VHRI) study in which participants viewed a video in which an appearance-constrained Pioneer robot used dog-inspired affective cues to communicate affinity ... -
Video telemetry and behavioral analysis discriminate between compulsive cleaning and compulsive checking in obsessive-compulsive disorder
(2011-11)Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) patients exhibit compulsive acts that share key characteristics that discriminate them from normal behaviors. In OCD, factor analysis of symptomatology has identified separate clusters ... -
Videre: Drawing and Evolutionary Architectures
(2013-10-01)Analysing the works of the seascape architect Wolf Hilbertz (1938 -2007), coral scientist Dr Thomas Goreau, architect Newton Fallis and collective, the paper considers the development of ‘self organizing’ natural building ... -
Views from within a narrative : Evaluating long-term human-robot interaction in a naturalistic environment using open-ended scenarios
(2014-12-31)This article describes the prototyping of human–robot interactions in the University of Hertfordshire (UH) Robot House. Twelve participants took part in a long-term study in which they interacted with robots in the UH Robot ... -
Views of nursing staff on the use of physical restraint
(2003)A postal questionnaire survey was employed in regional secure and psychiatric intensive care units in England and Wales, in respect of mental health nurses' training in the use of physical restraint. The nurses' views were ... -
VII Zw 403: H I structure in a blue compact dwarf galaxy
(2011-09)We present optical (UBVJ), ultraviolet (FUV, NUV), and high-resolution atomic hydrogen (H I) observations of the nearby blue compact dwarf (BCD), VII Zw 403. We find that VII Zw 403 has a relatively high H I mass-to-light ... -
Vintage Bit Cryptography
(2009)We propose to use a Random High-Rate Binary (RHRB) stream for the purpose of key distribution. The idea is as follows. Assume availability of a high-rate (terabits per second) broadcaster sending random content. Members ... -
Vintage bit cryptography. (Transcript of discussion)
(2009)This may be a highly controversial talk, because this is an area where things are periodically rediscovered. But in the process of reinventing it, I think we’ve found a few interesting protocol issues, and a few interesting ... -
Vinyl polymer-coated lorazepam particles for drug delivery to the airways
(2011-05-30)A particle engineering method that adsorbs a microfine vinyl polymer coat to crystalline drug microparticles has been shown to be an effective way to control delivery. However, the means by which the functional performance ... -
Violence against social workers
(1995-03)This article examines issues of violence against social work staff in England and Wales. Although there is a good representation of work addressing how individuals can best try to cope for themselves when confronted with ... -
Violence and aggression: short-term management in mental health, health and community settings
(National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NIHCE) Guideline, 2015-05-28)This guideline covers the short-term management of violence and aggression in adults (aged 18 and over), young people (aged 13 to 17) and children (aged 12 and under). It is relevant for mental health, health and community ... -

Violent quenching : Molecular Gas Blown to 1000 km s -1 during a Major Merger
(2018-08-23)We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations of a massive () compact ( pc) merger remnant at z = 0.66 that is driving a 1000 km s -1 outflow of cool gas, with no observational trace of an active ... -
VIRAC: The VVV Infrared Astrometric Catalogue
(2018-02-21)We present VIRAC version 1, a near-infrared proper motion and parallax catalogue of the VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) survey for 312 587 642 unique sources averaged across all overlapping pawprint and tile images ... -
A virial theorem for rotating charged perfect fluids in general relativity
(2003)We obtain an exact form of the virial theorem in general relativity, which is sufficiently general to be applied to charged, conducting, rotating perfect fluids in electromagnetic and gravitational fields. The case of ... -
Virtual and online learning during COVID-19: the experience of community children’s nursing students
(2023-03-20)Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant changes in how education is delivered. For many University programmes this has included a move from face-to-face to virtual and on-line learning and teaching. ... -
