Using History in Public Policy Development
(University of Hertfordshire, 2013-06-14)This thesis addresses two key problems: that historical practice in the academy is largely disengaged from politics as a domain of public purpose and that policymaking remains fixed on a very narrow (and quantitative) ... -
USING INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATIONS TO SHAPE RESEARCH AND INNOVATION INTO CARE HOMES IN BRAZIL: A WHITE PAPER
(2020-11-27)The Brazilian care home sector is underdeveloped, and the limited available evidence suggests that care quality falls below international standards. Development of the Brazilian care home sector could be associated with ... -
Using International Recruitment Agents: Risks and Regulation?
(Leadership Foundation for Higher Education, 2013-07)The expansion of the international student market has coincided with a 'dramatic proliferation' of universities using agents to recruit international students. This practice is controversial due to the apparent conflict ... -
Using laboratory and field measurements to constrain a single habit shortwave optical parameterization for cirrus
(2016-11-01)A single habit parameterization for the shortwave optical properties of cirrus is presented. The parameterization utilizes a hollow particle geometry, with stepped internal cavities as identified in laboratory and field ... -
Using Machine Learning and Computer Simulations to Analyse Neuronal Activity in the Cerebellar Nuclei During Absence Epilepsy
(2016-06-14)Absence epilepsy is a neurological disorder that commonly occurs in children. Some studies have shown that absence seizures predominantly originate either in the thalamus or the cerebral cortex. Some cerebellar nuclei (CN) ... -
Using Machine Learning Techniques to Recover Prismatic Cirrus Ice Crystal Size from 2-Dimensional Light Scattering Patterns
(2016-08-13)In this paper, we present a prediction model developed to identify particles size of ice crystals in clouds. The proposed model combines a Feed Forward Multi-Layer Perceptron neural network withBayesian regularization ... -
Using MgII to investigate quasars and their black-hole masses
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2004)We highlight the importance of the Mg II λ2800 emission-line doublet in probing high-redshift quasars and their supermassive black holes. In the SDSS era, where large scale investigations of quasars across the age of the ... -
Using modern teaching methods to improve wound care education and learning in clinical practice
(2008)Education has long been considered to be the quick fix to improve clinical practice and is routinely recommended in most clinical audits and ser vice reviews. Yet, despite an exponential rise in tissue viability education ... -
Using multi-dimensional methods to understand the development, interpretation and enactment of quality assurance policy within the educational development community
(2018-01-02)Policy texts are representations of practice that both reflect and shape the world around them. There is, however, little higher education research that critically analyses the impact of higher education policy on educational ... -
Using multi-environment sugar beet variety trials to screen for drought tolerance
(2006-02-15)Drought is a major limitation to sugar beet yield in many rainfed areas. Varieties with increased drought tolerance would improve productivity, but breeding specifically for drought tolerance is time-consuming and expensive. ... -
Using Multi-Modal Bio-Digital Technologies to Support the Assessment of Cognitive Abilities of Children with Physical and Neurological Impairments
(University of Hertfordshire, 2015-03-11)Current studies done using a learning test for children have problems as they only make evaluations of Physically and Neurologically Impaired (PNI) children who can succeed in the test and can be considered as a PASS/FAIL ... -
Using multimedia case study material for teaching requirements engineering
(University of Hertfordshire, 1997)This paper describes the development and use of multimedia case study materials on the World Wide Web. Materials were used in two final year courses on requirements engineering. The main motivation for providing materials ... -
Using multiple archives to understand past and present climate-human-environment interactions : the lake Erhai catchment, Yunnan Province, China
(2008-07)A 6.48 m sediment core sequence from Erhai lake, Yunnan Province, provides a multi-proxy record of Holocene environmental evolution and human activity in southwest China. These sedimentary records provide proxy time series ... -
Using myoelectric signals for gesture detection: a feasibility study
(2017-04-25)Abstract The propose of this study was to assess the feasibility of using myoelectric signals acquired using an off the shelf device, the Myo armband from Thalmic Lab. Background: With the technological advances in sensing ... -
Using n-grams to rapidly characterise the evolution of software code
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008)Text-based approaches to the analysis of software evolution are attractive because of the fine-grained, token-level comparisons they can generate. The use of such approaches has, however, been constrained by the lack of ... -
Using neural networks to analyse software complexity
(University of Hertfordshire, 1995)Units of software are represented as points in a multidimensional space, by calculating 12 measures of software complexity for each unit. To large sets of commercial software are thereby represented as 2236 and 4456 12-ary ... -
Using neuroConstruct to develop and modify biologically detailed 3D neuronal network models in health and disease
(Academic Press, 2008)In this chapter, we describe neuroConstruct, a new software tool for developing, modifying and analyzing neural network models with biologically realistic properties in 3D space (Gleeson et al, 2007). Network models are ... -
Using NeuroML and neuroConstruct to build neuronal network models for multiple simulators
(2007)Poster presented at CNS 2007
